How many hours including your 8? Or was it brand new?
-
Try and cover as many sides as possible with obstacles (ie butt it against walls etc). They can be peeled open like a can pretty easily, the roof especially. If you have multiple stack then stack them. Cutting into a second story one will be much harder. Weld some ground achors to the floor and put the machines over the top of them.

Don't have one but I can see how it would speed things up. I tend to have an ibc cage right next to me and just through them in.
-
It's generally operator error but when you are cutting for days on end it can happen. The finger whack is easy done.
-
Ouch. I had a bit jump back and get me right in the nuts once. I agree with your set up. Have two machines going at once seems to be best. When it's a 'one man' set up you seem to end up having to pile stuff up and almost tripping over yourself. That and you are switching between the two machines every 10 mins.

On my balfour I would say you definitely have to hold the log as they do jump about a bit. A clenched fist pushing it down rather than hold though - an off round log can jump a bit and you can get your fingers whacked between the log and the unit ( I learnt the hard way!). The holder looks good but I reckon you'd stop using after an hour.

My electric one is heavy - about 180kg. On anything other than flat, hard surface it is a back breaker to move it around.

Indeed he is, but his conversation is terrible! I think an 'arb digger' is one of those things you don't realise you need till you have one. Then you never want to go back. Obviously there is a capital cost but running costs are a pound an hour I'd say. The thumb grab is a huge benefit. You just need to ensure careful not to lift too much...

That's my set up. Komatsu pc14, expanding tracks, manual RSL grab.

I've got 3 daffodils in my front garden - 6th December...

What's the condition of the imported firewood? I've heard quite a few people opening up 20ft containers to find it moldy.
-
From memory there is an sc600 and sc700. The two sizes being the blade diameter is mm. Go for the bigger. Not a lot more money.
-
Had it two years and no issues. Easy enough to change the blade. Worth buying a second one so you aren't stuck if having it sharpened.

I have a balfour saw bench. Electric version. It's pretty good but doesn't have the same 'umpth' you get from a PTO version. Great for firewood but I also use it for cutting up sleepers for landscaping/benches etc. Can get a nice square end cut that it hard to get exact using a chainsaw. I paid about £1200 new.

What Childhood Xmas Gifts did your Parents or Grandparents received.
richy_B replied to Darrin Turnbull's topic in The Lounge
Grandparent got an oranges for Xmas as well. Similar DOB as you mention. Sharing a bedroom between 6 kids. Shows how good we all have it now. -
My experience with small claims etc is a legal professional will look at what is 'reasonable'. So as mentioned if it's a commercial transaction then 30-90 days would be considered reasonable. In a domestic setting it could be considered reasonable to ask for payment on completion. If you have a administrative cost of £25/1 hours works then you can pass that on as it's a reasonable expense. If you include items like 10% interest per day/week it would not be enforceable despite, signatures etc. The only way of doing this would be creating a credit account for a customer and billing services to that. Obviously very complicated for smaller companies.

'Offer' to drop the chip back to them if you don't get paid. Preferably all over their drive....

Story of my life too! As soon as I find a solution it involves doing two more tasks.... In fairness it isn't too complicated. I cut up some long jump leads. Got some connectors for the battery then put together the Anderson plugs. Probably about £50 in parts. Handy once you have it though. I change my ifor tipper so it runs off this instead of a battery. Plugs you can have a trailer mounted winch, small water/fluid pump, etc. It also works as a charging point.
-
Fill the cans whilst still in the back. Away from prying eyes.
-
Send a formal letter. Give 7 days to make full payment. Then small claims court.
-
I think you'll probably need a 175 amp anderson plug running straight from the battery (with an isolator on route). I have one on my truck and it's useful for the ifor tipper amd winch.
-
Sounds right to me. I guess volume will vary depending on log length. 35cm length will equate to less in a bag than 20cm lengths.
-
Do you have a website?

You'll find it really hard to make a trailer cheaper than picking up a decent second hand.
