The above is correct . In theory the start up current is actually 6 times but the power factor helps out a little so three times is normally sufficient. A motor that is star delta starting will help things further rather than direct online . I see an engine powered pto years ago like a power pack would that be a better idea less thermal and friction losses

Big rings 30 cm long or just over, we sell to customers with big fireplaces if they are 50 cm cut them in half with chainsaw . Because nets command a premium price you can afford to buy cord wood for them

Thank you for all the replies . I have been using poplar this week for kindling 4-6 inch stems. I am thinking now the smaller stems have smaller branches and therefore small knots . Also younger stems are softer and easier to split . Maybe a decent wood processor would be good to cut up to 12 in ch stems

I need a large circular saw to cut poplar into accurate 6 inch rings . maybe part of an old American processor that no longer splits . Ideally needs to handle all sizes to at least 18 inch and bigger if possible .

I started with nothing and still have most of it left . Nothing wrong with earning money and doing well for your self unless your a socialist with a chip on your shoulder

Sorry I am a bit pissed and can’t find the box to put my bits in ? it’s this isolation you know

Not a standard electrician they would probably poop themselves it’s not a light switch. Maybe a plant engineer to bolt it on and a genny engineer to wire it . Or eggs bloke sounds good to do the whole job and he is just up the road . Eggs it’s time we all went out on the piss again I got divorced and it cost me 400 k ?

Personally it’s a dinasaur will drink fuel cant-get the bits and I would not have a clue where to start if it broke and I am 52 years old . Buy something 2001 onwards that’s not over worked and knackered when it breaks you will be able to get it fixed

10 bolts a few wires and a mornings work £250-£500 labour £500 for the alternator don’t overload both motors at the same time back in business choppy choppy ? pramacs aren’t a bad set ??

I wrote a long post for you the other day then found I was not signed in and lost the lot ? I will try and stick to the facts mecc late is a good European alternator and won’t cost 4 k more like £1000 speak to Steve wells at mecc alte . find a generator motor calculator on line and make sure 10 Kva is big enough. If both these motors are under heavy load at the same time I think this will stress the windings and cause early failure. does the alternator smell of burning. Like a flymo on a bad day if yes defo chuck it. we avoid rewinds now like the plague 80 % of the cost and they are never the same as new. When heat is applied to remove the old windings the residue magnetism is reduced this is a particular problem if you are going to use it for running motors. alternatively get a bell housing on the engine and mount a hydraulic pump you will get far more power there is a huge amount of efficiency lost in a generator . There is a good hydraulic company called harrier I think

Hope everyone is keeping well . Kindling in stock currently if anyone needs any

New cabstar with palfinger crane chuffed to bits with it so far ??

Thank you for your thoughts . I can deliver logs in bulk bag with hiab soon mess or grunting and straining . I have asked for cash in an envelope so we can clean it when back at base. i have cancelled all adverts but will deliver to people with real need just put a new vehicle on the road

We are still getting enquires Are people still delivering logs . Heating is one of the basic necessities in life.

I found they all read within 40% of each other ?especially when the batteries get low . Cant see 20 -25 % being a big deal the problem stuff is 36 % and plenty of that gets delivered cheap. We mostly sell kindling and kiln dried logs . Because there are a lot wet logs about especially this time of year that is why kiln dried is so popular why not pay 25% more for 50 % more heat .

They interviewed a professional log seller on the news tonight . Who explained he bought his cord two years ago so now it’s ready for cutting up and sending out ?. How is that kiln dried . Also when we sold logs and bought in cord I found beech left in the stick for two years was still 35% in the middle. The best way to season was to process green and barn store in crates for a year or two or put in a poly tunnel. i don’t think logs up north reading 20-25% is a problem it’s the 40% green stuff that needs cracking down on

Crashed or broken a week later and parts obsolete like the rest of the crap they turn out ?

Thanks for the suggestions . That’s the problem at the moment kindling is a better use for the timber than bio mass and we would pay more.

We have made and sold tonnes of kindling this year but struggling to find nice down graded pine timber . If anyone knows of anything or wants to supply it so we can turn it into kindling for them let me know. We recently picked up this packing case timber which is ideal . 1 metre long + 2x2 and bigger are what we are looking for .thanks for looking

Hi Mark we are currently out of stock and taking orders but would love to supply you . I will reply to your message shortly

Never had much luck with cherry or apple always wondered what all the fuss was about . beech and ash my favourites Hawthorns good round this way too
