  1. Too many to list but this is annoying. Thought it smelt of diesel strongly.... had a look and diesel leaking from where the wires go into the pump! Must be cheap crap .... did consider removing it, cleaning it up and epoxy resin around the wires but would presume this would seep through again at some point.
  2. Cheers. How is it then priced per cube? Rough estimates... If you take that figure and work it to metre cube.... if you then divide by 1.5 should this give you rough tonnage? As sure firewood boys reckon 1.5 cube per ton?
  3. This was a stack that only weighed 19t... I was sure I was up nearer 23t ish Guestimation is crap! But 19t was weighed with a trailer crane
  4. I will maybe try this from now on. You just measure height and length x2.5m to get volume or is there a more precise way? Still feel a little diddled
  5. Do you find it takes a lot more wood to get the ton due to the dieback. I had a decent stack of wood this year off one job and thought great, be 23-24t there. Was gutted when it was delivered to firewood man and they weighed it when lifting off and only grossed 19t 😞 volume seemd there but apparently not the weight
  6. Well I didn't find owt nor did I look properly.... I changed the top velcro pads on the old bashlin spikes.... had a lad climb for me for a few days and he had some panther carbon fibre ones which looked good and weighed bugger all! Can't member the spike placement on them though. Few month back bottom strap bust on my bashlins so replaced them and like new again now! Note to anyone else.... bashlin bottom straps were 60 quid ish.... Buckingham ones 30 quid. Near same thing! Same length and a ring that just turns onto the little loop in the spike frame to attach easy.
  7. 2.5t? Really? Videos are deceiving etc but only looked maybe 30" at cut and maybe 7' long ish obv got bigger due to unions. I must get shafted when folk buy and weigh timber from me 😆 Anyway. Bet that was awesome being on the ground and waiting for the pieces to come to sort 😎
  8. Yup, multi meter straight away. See if it will jump, if it does, multimeter again can tell you alot straight away 👍
  9. Yeah when jump started and forced to recharge a 14.4 very etc they seem to do OK when run for the day etc.... soon when left a week or so won't crank. I've one machine that doesn't get used often, I jump started it and left it running on trailer to site lol 😆 it ran all day then and was fine. But that was not last week, week before, bet it's back to knackered now. No point fancying around though with batteries just swap them out. On machines that don't get loads of use, unhook terminals and charge every now and again. Also make sure sat on a rubber matt etc. My teleporter at yard I tried to wrap allsorts around it to keep frost out and touch wood that's fine. On the chipper front as I've a few and swap between what I use each day / week I've decided not to renew battery on machine left idle but just pinch it off the one in use for the time needed Always bought quality too... varta etc not cheap shite
  10. I've recently had it where my battery was showing 12.2v so down a little but wouldn't do anything ... even when charged. Voltage was there but nobody (cracking amps) was home
  11. Bet I'd be better at this than you 😆 735 K vues · 4,6 K réactions | Guy Nails Foot Dancing Arcade Game |... WWW.FACEBOOK.COM This guy's footwork is 🔥🔥 Viralvideouk
  12. Exactly what I do now
  13. Most old folk will be too proud to go cap in hand and most will not know how to do it. Claiming credits or benefits would feel wrong I suspect. Those scrounging shits already on it will already know what where when and who on speed dial.....
  14. Tanks full of shit. No better way than dropping it out. Drain it through a filter into a drum and then hot steam pressure wash the bugger out! Drain it and make sure dry as poss then Diesel swill then refit
