That wasnt down here was it mate- north cornwall...? I know a guy who has an 8"(i think) farmi- PTO vermeer- he has mounted on a trailer, but is run by a deutz twin cylinder air cooled, it may have had a merc one first:confused1:. Its a pretty amesome machine. I was thinking of going the other way if i get a mog and ripping the engine off my vermeer and running that PTO until i can afford a real chipper. May not get a mog yet though....

Dean that is a totally far out car mate! And amazingly tough by the sound of it.

Cool shot.

Treated myself to a 5 disc blue ray box set called 'planet earth' today, a BBc natural history/attenborough series that has been on telly. The first disc i am checking out is the 'seasonal forests' one, with the most amazing shots of trees in the pacific northwest of america; great shots of general sherman and other monster trees....all in hi-def too. There is a short bit with a guy climbing one and hanging between the upper branches of two of those monster trees. Awesome. Worth the £25 just for that sequence i reckoned!
-
That might yet be happening....I knew you could do that, and if i find the goggles mist up i reckon i will put a mesh visor on for tree work. Its the fine dust from milling that really gets me.

Hey jon, hows tricks. I have always gone for Honda. They just keep working- water pemps, vibrating beams etc etc. It seem that no matter what abuse they are given they are totally reliable. Having said that, my mill has a B&S "commercial power" 23Hp v-twin. When i mentioned this to a local dealer he said that it was a jap/ us (i cant rightly recall) unit, and had the longevity of honda, without being so picky over clean fuel. I have to say that i am very very impressed with it- it is well gutsy. My chipper had a Kohler flat twin on it when i got it.......that was awful, although i believe the Kohler commando engines are pretty good- woodmizer fir them to alot of their machines and seem reliable, although i have no personal experience.

Fantastic. Thanks for that marc, reckon i'll have a pair of them too. I am that p'ed off with sore eyes i am going to get an arsenal of eye protection.

Just thought i would share this with you guys. Been re-sawing a load of very seasoned oak beams for a customer today, with the wind in my face. Yet again i have had a faceful of sawdust and my left eye is red raw. No scratching this time luckily- last time i was hospitalised with spalted beech, the nurse reckoned it looked like i had sandpapered my eyball- but eyes are sore as hell. I have tried stihl integra helmet with the built in plastic visor with fine mesh, and that wasnt up to it. I have been using my climbing helmet (vertex vent) and goggles, but that wasnt brilliant, so now i have bitten the bullet and i have ordered a Stein one with the built in goggle things. Alien sawmilling here we go!

Sounds like your poor customer needs a new ins company!!!

Thats him. I live across the road from the track, instead of turning right into the industrial estate where the track is, turn left up the dirt road opposite!!

Only pride! What a relief.

As per normal- stunning.
