  1. Where does codwood fit into all this?
  2. 95% trees stopped doing hedges years ago apart from reductions.
  3. Spoken from experience Ty? I remember your experiences.
  4. Yours or the plant?🙂
  5. Thanks gdh, it would be in about 6mths time at least, by the time we get down. I will bear what you have said and offered in mind. We don't mind oversized.
  6. Plenty of Ash die back on the place.
  7. Not worried if hard or softwood or mixed. If it its dry it burns.
  8. Thanks Slack, I will contact them and see what they can do. I have about 150t here but not economic to transport down, well for me anyway.
  9. We are thinking of moving into Beacons national park near Llangadog. Web are looking for leads for a wagon and drag load of timber for firewood. It would be for the latter half of the year. Cannot get an artic into location. Wagon and drag would need to drop trailer off to get in. Any leads or offers gratefully received.
  10. Wherabouts are you?
  11. The smaller internal one will be the PTO shaft so you can have PTO going independant of forward / reverse motion, known as live PTO. Check in back of the crankshaft/flywheel there should be a phosphor bronze bush or a bearing to support the nose of the PTO shaft, that may be worn.
  12. When they are swarming, you are much less likely to be stung as they have gorged on the honey and their sting'S are curled round.
  13. Silver side or early orange side?
  14. Thought that was Steve once he stopped climbing and started websites.
  15. What makes me say its destined for England and beyond is that according to the SNP, Scotland already has 100% capacity for wind generation for own use. I am trying to not be political, as it would not matter which party was in charge in UK or Scotland they would all be at it.
  16. WE NEED YOUR HELP Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks SSEN are planning a massive expansion of the overhead pylon and substation network up here, they do not care about ruining the enviroment and communities in the quest for profit. The pylons are going to be 60m tall carrying 400kV. Substation are to be in Caithness, near Beauly, New Deer and Peterhead, the one near us is in addition to three existing large ones nearby is to be an extra 200 acres. SSEN are going for the cheapest option rather than burying the cable or goin subsea. Once it gets to Peterhead it is taking the power via two subsea cables to England. In addition to this they are planning another 400kv line from Kintore via Tealing and then to Fife and onwards. This is a massive industrilisation of the reas and is the thin end of the wedge, as once the pylons are in the wind farms will follow onshore and offshore, look at the crown estate leases. SSEN have been asked to show the figures to justify the expansion and they refuse to release them Below is a leaflet we have prepared, share as you wish, for our area. Can everyone comment on the proposals and just say NO to SSEN, write to MP's MSP Thanks in advance. #Justsayno
  17. What size/ model of Hatz diesel? Depends on your engineering skills with grinder and welder
  18. Speak to Dave Ashcroft at Ashcroft transmissions, he will advise you.
  19. What engine are you thinking of chopping out. Fitted many different engines into land rover products over the years, Fords, Iveco, Mercedes, Perkins and Mazda.
  20. TractorData.com Valmet 665 tractor dimensions information WWW.TRACTORDATA.COM The above lists standard 665 4wd tractor tyres as Front 12.4R24 and Rear as 16.9R 34.
  21. Would it be worth a call to Withams as they sometimes sell them and may know more of the specs. https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=b819060449a1ada4JmltdHM9MTY4MDgyNTYwMCZpZ3VpZD0wZDIwMmJjZi1kOGNjLTYzZDEtMGZlMC0zOWE4ZGNjYzY1OTUmaW5zaWQ9NTE5Ng&ptn=3&hsh=3&fclid=0d202bcf-d8cc-63d1-0fe0-39a8dccc6595&psq=withams+mod+sales&u=a1aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubW9kLXNhbGVzLmNvbS9kaXJlY3Qv&ntb=1
  22. Also have watch ratio of rolling circumference front to rear, there will be an optimal ratio for this depending on the ratios in the gearbox. You need to have the front wheels pulling the rear along, not the front being pushed by the rear.
  23. They are welcome to it.
  24. You did a good body swerve there.
