  1. Did one of ours last year dont remember taking the cross memeber off. But it is a bit lifted to say the least which is probably why it ate the prop in the first place.
  2. Open fire 80% of heat up the chimney 20% in the room. Log burner the other way round. If you want the heat its a no brainer.
  3. I thought maybe you have lots of lady friends then I scanned through this post and picked up on mistletoe, sex, resulting and female maybe my one tracked mind
  4. Better than getting your kit repossessed
  5. Looking for up to 300 in the south of england in good used condition to turn upside down and use as track.
  6. Its been a mild winter I would think there is a few people around with excess stock. Next year there will be less sellers and we will have a harsh winter. You cant win can you. Risk not thy whole wedge.
  7. So if I was looking for logs for next winter at £40-£70 for 1.6 metres or would I spend £200 on a load of beech and ash. All wood burns well when dry beech is not 3 times better.
  8. mostly but some splitting if its over 6" sticks as well
  9. If you get any in future post up as I am trying to get a used Lucas mill. My woodmizer only goes up to 2ft. Would like to plank and turn in to kindling.
  10. I was looking at steel roof sheets on ebay £1.75 per foot running 3ft cover done for 30 years.
  11. Yes still no logs no plans to go back in to logs but we do sometimes need to process into 6" for the kindlet.
  12. Looks like a well laid out quality bit of kit for the money but not seen one yet firewood processor TMS45 for PTO " Made in Germany" log Splitter Fendeuse | eBay
  13. Useful infomation sounds like getting on the test is more testing than the test
  14. I like the wing it idea then you dont make mistakes just adjustments.
  15. I did the cscs card years ago you could pass it even if you did not understand a word of english. I put several of my men through so we could install a generator on an irish site. The job was delayed 3 months by that time they had brought out a new test and ours was invalid a blind one armed monkey could pass it. completely point less waste of time and money.
  16. I was in abergavveny two weeks ago looking at a jcb 525 when the winds kicked off I was surprised they let us over the bridge. If I am in the area again I will give you a shout. Our kindlet has been superb and never let us down but sometimes a different machine does different timber better. I like the way our kindlett handles joinery off cuts and if it jams you can get into it without trashing lots of material. I thought about a 3 phase machine but with the right timber we struggle to keep up with our single phase machine. We have had 70 bags an hour at times with two people. With the wrong timber can get it down 25 bags an hour.
  17. I am interested in what you come up with I need some extra covered space. Dont really need sides but thinking built on skids so it can be moved or taken with when we move. I would like it to be big enough for two vehicles. I will post pics of plans etc if I get into it 16ft wide and 19ft deep would be ideal.
  18. Two sides to every story. I think the neighbour thing is getting worse as they pack more houses onto less land.
  19. We produce 61/4" with our kindlett. Can you do neat stacked bags with the Posch or is it just random loose stuff. Can the Posch do joinery off cuts at all.
  20. I tow 3500kg often but dont seem to get these problems. The brakes on my landcruiser and discoveries are disks all round so work the same in reverse unlike most double cabs. I dont like the idea of electric brakes unless they fail to safety. May be a system with electric and the over run system still in the back ground or an air system would be good especially if I can gain another 500kg on the LC .
  21. It may be worth getting a huge huge pile then hire in that automatic Posch machine that processes billets.
  22. If we were not in the middle of a recession the new regs would be here already. I think even the politicians have enough sense not to kill the goose.
  23. If the prop is spinning one or more of the front hubs is not locked. The switches underneath may have seized if you dont use them often wd 40 and a bit of wiggleing. If you select 2wd and the front prop turns as u drive the front hubs are locked on.
  24. I had remolds on the back of a truck felt vague. The price of a remold is too close to the price of a budget to be an option. I had the new bfgs on my hilux tipper very little noise good on tarmac never got stuck in mud. I think they wear quicker now but better in the wet on tarmac. Most remoulds have alreaday done 60,000 miles they would have to be half price to be worth doing.
