    ive long wondered what a 'hoppus' foot actually is,,,, having looked at the calculations that converts a decent sawlog into 'hoppus'... i still dont quite get it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  2. robbo 110
    your idea is great, i dont think the 'gearing' idea is great thou, belts, bearings etc = more to go wrong, it's easy to control the speed of a hyd motor with a variable 'speed controller, the less moving parts the better

    im with steve on that, so if all of you do some quick calculations.... is firewood worth buying in at £35 -£45 per tonne, green @ roadside?????? there's easier ways to earn no money.....

    lol, in a former life i have removed vehicles plant etc, ive always thought the best would be......... bacs me what u owe or i pull the p.t.o lever on the slurry tanker outside!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    im looking into removing ' goods to the value of' at the mo, sadly this is more an more common in every trade, ccj's dont seem to worry people, small companys cant get much credit from banks so they dont need to keep a good credit score any longer, it can only get worse
  6. robbo 110
    you should be thinking about utilising your students, a firewood processing course, for just £25 per day........ draw the cash whilst they cut an split!!! loverly jubberly!!!!!!

    ive looked at the pile of wood, everyday for a few weeks now!!!! once those clocks change we will get cracking, annoying neibours at 8.00pm sounds far more fun than packing up at 6.30pm!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    the logs on the top of the stack would undoubtedly dry quicker in the sun, the logs as you get further into the stack wouldnt benefit from direct sunshine, hence why i suggested warm airflow would be better
  10. robbo 110
    uniform stacking makes no odds, just waste's time, warm sunshine doesnt help the wood in a 4 foot deep pile........ or neat stack!! double up on the pallets, they do look they have sunk, warm airflow, as much as poss is what you need

  19. robbo 110
    never with a tree or saw, several times in the lorry, twice in a 360!!!
  20. robbo 110
    that looks a fairly good location for track fitting!!!!!! im not normally that lucky, add 12" of clay slime is all i get!!!!!!!!!! where in sussex are you based twistedhicap??
  21. robbo 110
    hmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  22. robbo 110
    do you know roughly the diameter of the drive & driven pulleys you have used?? iv been toying with the idea of building one!! another job to do!!!!!!!!
  23. robbo 110
    lol, depends on the back axle springs!!!!!!!!!!! i cant figure it out!! we also have a tri-axle ifor that had a plate on the head that stated max 2600kg, that was also gross at 3.5t!!! the lads at my ifor dealers are clueless!! it must mean something but ifor wouldnt fit a head that was rated at less than the gross weight of the trailer!!! im glad they fall off on the first journey, they dont make rivets like they used too!!!!!!!
  24. robbo 110
    yes it the plate on the towing head, this must refer to 'nose weight' perhaps as the trailers gross is 3.5t!!!
  25. robbo 110
    try some simple stuff to begin with, mushrooms, shells etc, then follow your own ideas, copy a china/clay figurine etc, the books are ok for basics, carving is an art, there is no right or wrong.......... thankfully!! look forward to your pics!!
