In two weeks time after the frost there will be no logs left then it will be £200 for 3 logs . I will offer free stacking then arb talk will be full of 'anyone know where I can get dry cord' posts

I had this. And it was always one of three things 1. My crap hand sharpening. If the teeth are not sharpened absolutely spot on and evenly the bar will try and cut a banana. Which it cant cos its fixed. If this carries on the bar will wear one side and make things worse. The answer for me was a £20 lidls bench grinder never looked back. Chains £3 8 sharpens out of each then bin. Often got days of cutting out of a sharpen. 2. Burrs on the bottom of the bar rails. 3. The bar mounts need adjusting because the bar is not 90 deg to the timber.

Not round our way they are too rich to pay for anything

Yeah Peckerwoo's Back:party: as you can see from previous posts I tried to hold the fort but made a right balls of it.
-
Do the teeth look mullered or does the bar just not want to cut through the log ?
-
I thought they were called porous Fords because the coolant fell through the block and ended up in the sump with the oil ? Be careful especially on older tractors when enclosed in a barn as there is alot of fumes comming from the engine breather especially my tractor So what is worse petrol fumes or diesel fumes ? I have had more than my share of diesel fumes over the last 25 years.

If he was making good money perhaps he would have a day off. Its easy to be a busy fool.

I never had sycamore in the yard until I had the problem when we finished processing it problem cleared up. I never mentioned syc in case someone else did.
-
I had a major problem with this about six months ago lasted at least 2 months. I think it is related to species. Never had it before or after. Will try and nail down which wood caused it. I was cutting Oak, spaulted beech, ash, lime, Sycamore, birch,

I like your log stacking is that customer logs or house logs. I need to get tidier we finished using the splitter months ago and some where under the log pile is the attached trailer and Honda engine.

Measure the volume and sell it as level load. Pulling heaps about will attract the old bill. The sides on your trailer look smaller than the tipper we have. I tend to charge at the higher end in my area. The logs tend to be beech and ash and seasoned for more than a year so I put a very slight heap on so it looks better on arrival especially if it settles at all. so advertised at 1.5 but probably over 1.6
-
Smack on. An inch up makes a big difference an inch out not much. The sides I think are over 500mm from memory. I am sure our tt105 ifor tipper is bang on 2 cu as well. Are you sure the sides are only 40cm high if they are 45cm high you will be over 2cu. A heaped load would give you your 2 cu metres.

On a single cab hilux I would say 1.2 cu max if your lucky. This a 2 cubic metre load on a hilux

No expert but oak good. Hazel will probably be good in the weather as I think its used for spars on thatch roofs ? but maybe small. Beech, syc not good outside.
-
Now your just teasing there will be firewood blokes all over the country fitting mud terrains and digging out their thermals Put mine on in July

Sometimes it depends on the quality of the bag. Some monofilament bags we put kindling in are the same measurement but hold 15% because they stretch. We have striped vented 1.5 cu bulk bags when emptied into our 1.5 cu truck we sometimes have to add more.
-
I am with you, but if we load ours with 2 cu metres of green beech its lacking in the brake area ( about 800kg ) . May have a faulty load sencing valve we worked out the other day.
-
even the new ones are 2500kg. I think they give the king and double cab a higher gross kerb weight to take the passengers. and give a tonne pay load for tax reasons and allow a cap and towbar to be fitted.
-
Yes but alot of them cant work it out. Hence its a load with a very thick piece of ply in the bottom,
-
Could be francs again soon.
-
about half a tonne if you have a big driver. The gross train on a single cab is only 2500kg whereas king cab nearly 3 tonne. If I change the truck I will put the body on a king cab if I can

We used to hire large silent generators to everyone in the 90's . Often the fuel tanks would come back half full of water so they saved themselves £40 in gas oil Now due to the expensive common rail fuel systems we have to be very choosey who we hire to. No events, no building sites. We generally only hire to blue chip companies who require standby power and we supply the fuel. Contamination in a large common rail fuel system and your talking 3-4 k in parts alone. The more it happens the harder it will be in future to hire kit in. You reap what you sow.

There will be no wind at all nice flat calm day

Ok so I got it wrong looks like it might be next friday
