as job starts i would stick on facebook marketplace at a sensible price per trailer load - lots of folks go for if not stupid money asked and dont mind some work sawing and splitting. lil bit area dependant but have bought in myself at right money, especially if can get roadside access for folks with a trailer. wont make customer a fortune but some loads gone cash all helps soften blow if customer just wants gone off site right away less fun for you to haul off but i would still stick on marketplace offering delivery at a cost, may shift a load or 3 if can just tip off at somebodys place and saves re handling back at your premises

work sent us all home for day off, not even allowed in to do indoors stuff on basis too dangerous for public to enter estates too dangerous for us - newer policies since aftermath of Arwen i belive hoping it doesnt hit as we just spent 9 days with mewp crown lifting and dead wooding main drive which is looking nice and really dont want the damage! so will go with long ish lie as knackered and then book on as first responder to assist ambo service i reckon

i would google hydraulic repair type places near you and take ram there - they can test/strip to examine usually quickly. then if its seals match up new ones or if more cost effective a new ram. had ram seals done on my one which i had literally no info on just by getting blacksmith to strip and send info to his hydraulic supplier, got better grade seals and happy days

heating on for couple hrs every evening last 3 weeks, easing off now a bit but was bloody frozen after 2 weeks in hospital as temprature in there is nuts so couldnt cope without it roll on some better temps

proper knotty lumps how do you plan on splitting once you spend hrs and hrs sawing up big hydraulic splitter and time could be done

i have a large log splitter with apparently road tow ok, wouldnt tow it anywhere as its just too bouncy and slow for all time it takes me to winch with small atv winch onto or off a trailer and tie down with easy mod to trailer from engineering place its proper daft to not do it if you have a trailer it can fit on and want to do distance well worth it, can post some pics if folks want

almost exact same post dentist this week

work got an industrial henry type from a company called powerwasher services at laurencekirk, wet and dry - 3 motors! can run one or two or all 3 its not small but its crazy suction and power awesome kit

29 here yukk

kaaz mowers are honda engined, mechanically robust and simple and last really well, worth a look. we use at work and as far back as 2011 model still in use all be it less but goes just fine

mostly all masks gone here expect for healthcare settings it seems, docs surgery, dentist etc which i guess is pretty limited and i do wonder in flu season how much was transmitted in a waiting room so perhaps not worst thing smaller places like blacksmith and such havent done masks pretty much from day 1 - do remember i stopped in at blacksmith 2 -3 months into 2020 and was wondering what deal would be, whole lot of them around me for a chat as most folks were hiding and boy they like a yap on a good day. not a worry at all which was rather pleasant. work hasnt done masks for 99% of it at all in offices etc just resteraunt and shop

still burning here and actually burning more as we try to reduce oil use as much as can, later putting stove on today as sun made an appearance where as yesterday on all day

not same splitter but had some issues with mine that made it slow hydraulic filter was horrible so lots of slower, a ram seal weeping, annoyingly had to get a bigger tank as original tank wasnt matched well to pump volume,, hydraulics place checked flow rate and was 19 litres a min at pump and way too small a tank so oil got hot and that kills performance now got a 60 litre tank and doesnt matter how long i run it, how hard logs are never tops 25 celcious in summer in full sun and never drops performance but an oil/filter change will tell you a lot as a good start

having had a stray lump of rotten wood break off a log i was lifting with grab and take out small side window on our valtra i wish work had it guarded even some basic stuff, glass doesnt take that much to pop it

That looks amazing! Needs a video doing some lifting to show off that crane
