Getting rid of the skirts will lighten it. Leave the spare wheel at home. My body is heavy but if you make them light they dont lift and can twist.

I got them in Andover Hampshire but the sale stuff looked poor this week. Need to keep a look out if you ever go in. I would think huge trousers are often in the sales as I doubt people would buy often. I thought they would be stupidly big but I dont think I would buy smaller next time.

There is too many people doing everything. We dont manufacture much so we now train people to service things or make missiles. There are too many people in a little island and people entering the country are not even illegal we have opened the flood gates to any other EU nation that has a struggling economy. If you can find work and it pays your bills I would say you are heading in the right direction. You are more likely to be a success at something low paid that you love doing than something high paid you hate.

I was looking at the astra estate or van about 6 weeks ago. In the end I bought a BMW 320d touring 50 ish to the gallon extremely well built and quiet and hopefully reliable once the swirl flaps are out. 2004 142k on clock £2000

The wood I logged this time last year is seasoned but dark in colour. It may be wet from the rain but thats alot different from year old beech that was logged last week. Same old story just people using the wet weather as an excuse to slip green logs out.

I am a 40 inch waist but scats had some stihl chainsaw trousers in the sale down from £95 to £30 but they were 52 inch waist at £30 I thought I would grow into them . I tried them with braces and have found them spot on for logging easy to get on and off not to hot in the summer.

46,000 litres per annum for 75kWe Generator???
gensetsteve replied to TimberCutterDartmoor's topic in General chat
I thought lpg was able to compete with kero. Generators only turn about half the energy into electric the rest goes out through the rad and exhaust. Perhaps a generator chp unit. -
The old ones are much more reliable and dirt cheap to repair but gutless and heavier on Fuel. The newer ones are good on fuel or go like stink can do both but not at the same time. With the new stuff you get a good one or bad one. If they go bang your in for at least 4k

We used to run a hakki pilki 2x . Run it for about 6 years and served us well. M Large were good people to deal with and always helpful with advice. If I was buying another processor on a budget new or second hand I would go for a 1x37 it has a bit more capacity which you need as the cord seems to be getting bigger. We have stopped processing logs as too many people local are doing it also our kit was getting old. Our kindling was busy and all kit on that side is new.

Make sure heating, cooking and refrigeration are on bulk lpg tank. 75kw is alot of power even for a pub. Because people have to run a generator anyway they go mad for resistive heating and before you know it theres a power station in the garden. -
Easiest way to check if 200 is 200 have old style v drive belt on pump and alternator. The 300 had a flat multi v belt. 300 the water pump is near the top of engine 200 nearer the bottom

Hats off to them. They must do best part of an arctic a week over 35 weeks.I think alot of people have more energy than me especially now I am in my mid forties. Only about a 3rd of the cord we got would go through that machine.
-
Do people really put 500 tonnes a year through a manual in feed machine with small tct blade. There must come a point where you are better spending an extra 2k and getting a machine with in feed conveyor. I would have thought 200 tonnes is enough

I noticed that get the timing wrong on that and loose several layers of skin. Do you think he may be impatient by any chance.

My memory of our fourtrack was good little truck nippy and pleasant to drive. If I was being picky I would say a bit high revving for motorway work and thirsty by todays common rail standards. Rear seat uncomfortable. But a reliable truck that tows 3.5 tonne for a couple of grand you cant go far wrong.

One legged people generally.

Dont you have to pay them money every year to keep letters after your name and to keep your qualification.

When you say stored in lengths do you mean cordwood. I cut some 12" ash into 3ft lengths and left them for 18 months when logged they burned slowly and poorly. When metered the moisture was still above 35%. From my experience seasoning in cord lengths is very slow.

I think it would be better to identify the person as an idiot and keep them away from rotating machinery of any type. Thats why we have brain surgeons, commercial pilots and people who collect shopping trolleys for Tescos.
-
20 pages of waffle or a bottom safety bar would not have prevented that accident. If you let idiots loose with machinery they will cut body parts off. If he did not cut his toes off that week he would have cut his head off a week later. Are there really people stupid enough to put their foot in hydraulic wood chipper.

I did have a 13hp honda powered machine looked very similar to the global machine. Gravity feed systems seem hard work with our hedge cuttings. I had an old 4-5" hyd feed machine and it worked well. Our hedges often seem to be tough balls of ivy. If it was nice straight hazel or similar I think it would feed better.

Do you have any more contact details for Chris

What sort of lengths and widths

I was a big fan of transit through the 80's and early 90,s then I bought a new smiley face in 1995. Heap of crap Ford dealers horrendous to deal with. Have not been back since and sounds like they are no better.

There is a small garage 1/2 mile from me that had a load of new chinese trucks in their yard they were into lpg conversions. I asked what the trucks were like and the conversation dried up. They are in Picket Piece may be able to help you with head gaskets or perhaps a complete truck for spares for a fiver.
