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.

46,000 litres per annum for 75kWe Generator???
gensetsteve replied to TimberCutterDartmoor's topic in General chat
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.

Beech is my favorite out of all the species. Dense enough to last, light enough to start a fire. Very heavy when green unlike ash. Very popular with customers when seasoned.

Thats caravans. My disco weighs 1700kg but pulls 3500kg of trailer about ok.

Decisions decisions I like the idea of owning as it gives me flexibility when the weather is against us ie wind wrong direction for burning also I will soon have modern houses down my boundry. Hiring is ok but sods law says as the chipper turns up we get a generator call out. Pto chipper sounds good but means I will have to keep my last tractor but it does justify having it and could be used on jobs locally if any one gets a job on.

They made it very difficult for you after 1997

We are always looking for timber for the kindlet. 6 3/8 is max for modern kindlet better at 6" saves giving wood away and a bit of a margin for error. It will all come down to who is closest to you.
-
What sort of offcuts do you get from your saw mill. I have looked very closely at the figures you should get 60 bags an hour from a kindlet. But it takes nearly as long to prep the planks to 6" so thats 30 bags an hour a few knot jams down to 25 bags an hour. My wife runs the kinlet as a side line. I could not afford to employ someone to run it. May be we could part ex your wood for kindling.

See they got this whole overloaded business down to a tee in India as long as you have some beads and a cross hanging from the mirror you cant go wrong.
