I have a Woodwarm double sided stove. It’s awesome! Heats the whole house. Not sure they make them anymore though.
-
It does look high, I agree!

Does anyone on here currently run a Perruzzo tracked chipper? I see Ryetec are selling them now. I realise they’re not essentially a cs100 but I really like the mobility of a tracked base unit. Was thinking of using one in a 8x5 caged ifor tipper. Any feedback on pros and cons appreciated and if anyone has a second hand one they want to sell!

Hope not!🤣🤣🤣

Have a look at Kris Harbour on YouTube. He’s annoying as hell but his roundhouse is cool!

Tbh I think anything that is nice and straight for the roof beams would be good. Do you know of any lodgepole pine I could buy? I’m thinking perhaps I need to just ring some timber merchants…
-
Ah, fair enough. I knew it t was durable in water. Larch, chestnut, cedar or oak I guess!

Hi all, I’m planning on building a pole roundhouse with a self supporting reciprocating roof and I need to source suitable poles of larch/alder/chestnut that will be weather durable. Probably ranging from 4” to about 10” diameter and 4-5 m length. I can collect with a 12ft trailer and happy to buy standing if necessary. The closer to the Mendips the better! Thanks

Perfect, thanks Steve! For me having that little tab on my Home Screen makes all the difference.

I phone 12 mini
-
For someone who’s crap with technology can you talk me through how to do this Steve?
-
No, not yet. I’m not 100% convinced about it.
-
Eddie, would your arrangement of simply adjusting the foot pedal work with this or does it need a tap putting in do you reckon?

I’m being dense but I can find any tap or handle

Ideal, thank you!

Takeuchi TB016. Can anyone tell me how to convert the auxiliary circuit from double acting to single acting? It’s currently double and the foot pedal operates a hydraulic thumb. I want to be able to mount a small flail. Is it as simple as unscrewing the bolt under the foot operated tilt pedal so that only one side of the pedal can be depressed or is there something else? Many thanks.

I have a 31 year old 110 tipper. 90% of the time I love the old girl and the other 10% I spend dreaming of a nice reliable hilux. On balance though, if you can tolerate or even embrace the foibles, they make an awesome arb truck.

Thanks everyone for the advice. I’ve bought and fitted a thumb from RSL. Really pleased with it. The instructions say the pressure on the aux circuit should be reduced to 200 bar to avoid damaging the thumb. Does anyone know how to do this on a TB 016?
-
I think I’m swaying towards your suggestion of a thumb with a 6” bucket and some of those teeth. Did you go for the RSL hydraulic thumb? It looks fairly decent to my untrained eye. Thanks for all the advice from everyone [emoji106]
-
That makes sense, the thumb is cheaper and probably more versatile day to day. My machine is piped for a breaker. I think the thumb is the way to go. Thank you
-
Advice wanted please. I have a TB016 and I’m wondering if it would be up to the job of loading Ash cordwood into a tractor trailer and then onto a processor? The cordwood is probably 8-12” diameter. Firstly do you think the machine would lift that weight and secondly if so, should I go for a bucket and thumb arrangement or bite the bullet and get a grab with rotator? TIA

I was in the same position as you recently and bought my first processor for mainly arb waste. Admittedly I have a tractor so mine is pto but I can thoroughly recommend the Farmi WP36. A very well thought out machine and for 90% of my arb waste it is great. I’d say with one person operating it, it isn’t light years faster than chainsaw and splitter but it’s so easy not having to handle the wood as much.
