The splitter is now sold. Thank you Andrew. I hope it gives you good service.
-
If you put "Riko A11v splitter" in your "browser thingy", as they say on the telly, it will bring up pic's of the splitter & it's trailer.

Those who know me will be aware that I have had to retire from logging & landscaping. If any of you are interested in a splitter, ride on mower or trailer, then please see my Arbtrader ad's. Thank you. Chris

Yes, about half way between Royston & Cambridge. Love to come along for the craic but my complaining knees wont let me climb!
-
Duxford Hire & Supply is nearest to you but you'd probably be better off nipping down to Jonesie for choice & price.

Tony, I believe you are wrong here. It is not necessary for a contract (except for the sale of land) to be evidenced in writing. Oral contracts are just as enforceable though possibly a little more difficult. A contract of insurance is Uberrimae fidei, of the utmost good faith. An insurer would have great difficulty in getting out of a valid claim by arguing the non existence of a signature. If however, you are correct, then my truck & my public liability insurances are invalid. I can also say that there are many, many instances where we pay (service providers) by direct debit without our bank seeing a signed mandate. It doesn't make those debits any less valid. Oh, and lest anyone be confused about the validity of their marriage, signature not required.

R5log. who is it that you want to ring you? The original post about beech logs was July 2011 & they all went long ago.

Message box was only a third full Paul but anyway, it's empty now.

Paul, you're welcome. From your first post in this thread you showed how it is possible to find work. You got on your bike and.....well, the rest is both inspirational & interesting to read. Hope you get good use out of the zigzag. Chris.

Official Raffle Results 2012
chilli replied to Steve Bullman's topic in Arbtalk Christmas Charity Raffle 2012
A big thank you to Paul Witheridge of Lyon Work & Rescue who donated a prize for the raffle. I won but as I wouldn't make use of it I suggested an alternative beneficiary which Paul was happy with & Steve is aware of. But then, surprise surprise, Paul kindly sent me a lovely Petzl Vertex Vent helmet & visor. Thank you Paul. -
Arbtalk Christmas Raffle 2012

Absolutely brilliant. Big, big thanks to Steve & to Jo for the lovely email & photo. Well done to all who contributed, donated & took part. -
Mine was about the same time as Peter. Knee arthroscopy, two small incisions, cleaned out bits of floating cartilage & smoothed off the underside of the kneecap. No discomfort at all & walking easily immediately after. Got an amazing set of photo's showing the inside of the knee & all the damaged bits.

I bought the Balfor A11V trailed splitter from Riko & am very happy with it. What has surprised me is the number of mobile splitting jobs I've picked up. Didn't realise just how many people have come by some wood but don't have the ability/inclination to split it.
-
From picture 2, I would say hornbeam, right colour bark & ridges. If it is, then it's a lovely firewood.
-
Kj, you've seen your doc' & then been to A & E. Now you're embarrassed about asking to see your doc' again? Telephone, speak to anonymous receptionist, say "I'm a bit embarrassed, can I see a different doc?" It wont be a problem. You know you should do it or you wouldn't be asking on here.

Drove my Ranger over a husky 61 (don't ask!) but fixed it up myself. Rolled a big ash stick off a stack & crushed an MS260...took my dealer to sort that one out.
-
That beech will be fine. I've had August cut beech ready for the winter, stacked in a similar way but on a bigger scale. Apple, like oak, just takes longer to dry.

Morso Squirrel 5KW, model 1412 for me. In a 20' x 12' living room.

My local garden centre sells sealed plastic bags of 'kiln dried logs', £8.99 for 10 pieces of wet, mouldy softwood. The bags are printed with 'average moisture content 25%'. That's 'average' not 'maximum'. Anyone foolishly making a first purchase will surely not go back again? Yet they seem to sell plenty. I'm sore tempted to go & talk to the manager about it.

A robin's been busy today building a nest on the tines of a spring rake hanging in my toolshed.
-
I have an MS230 which I only use on small roundwood. Comes with 3/8 picco micro as standard so at least you produce less sawdust!
-
Three years & six months! Is that a record for replying to an old thread?
-
Me too Andy....'seen more fat on a butchers pencil'. 30" waist, nothing for a belt to work on so braces all the way.
-
Yes, I've had some good burners from DRY poplar.

Hopefully Jim Elison from RIKO will be along. If not, then email him at [email protected] or phone 01420 487300
