    When I win the lottery my money would be with the predator P38 easily purely because of its specs! Plenty of bang for the buck there

    Be better if you ran a hydraulic top link aswell to lift it level if you wanted

    Are they not a phase for folk? Seem to pop up every now and again for sale and makes you wonder if it's the same one lol 🤣 Also think parts are a nightmare? Seen a few arbtalkers after the same parts for a long time

    Around 85 cube for me and have done for a few years.... Though hate actually doing it. Feels a waste of valuable time. But nice when it's sold With all the new legislation coming in it may be the last winter 2021 for me and then maybe down to 25 cube a year for all those that can take in 2 cube loads.... Then change of business plan and send all for biomass from then on. You never know it may actually be better that way?!

    Some worth while money there then I'd say

    Older stuff has its place but sometimes newer is better. For pottering about in a woodland, winching etc personal use an oldie is great im just moving away from some older tractors and am a bit gutted really but have to move with the times and use stuff that's safer and better

    I looked at one once and the eng oil was a tad milky / just off colour.... Just left it. Not sure if these could go porus? Possibly look at a David brown, these can suffer issues with hydraulics and 3pl as they were built with such fine tolerances! I had a 990 good few years ago and was fine. I have a little 885 now (just runs processor) and is a good little tractor. Bought it and serviced engine, topped up rear end oil, fresh battery..... Been sat for 6 months and started ok.

    All tractors of this age will have gremlins and it is a roll of the dice.... What's your budget?
  9. swinny
    Optimum size timber for processor i say is 8-12".... straight 4 way split a lot faster..... smaller diameter just cut and left whole and larger just split in half take a lot longer to fill the crates..... Then the 14" timber that once through the 4 way needs the top parts going back through as too big. The joys of splitting logs.

    Sorry but it has to be written down somewhere. How do we not know that this is scaremongering bullshit? Has to be written down somewhere for us to make informed decisions. This info should be publicly available

    How do they plan to police this? Is it still the case of supply 2 cube and say it still needs seasoning?
  12. swinny
    It's been on the deck in the customers garden / land for 2-2.5 months and you've not moved it yet? :Eek:
  13. swinny
    Means my stack will be worth something then hahahaha 😉🤪
  14. swinny
    Nah.... Why pay someone else to do something there isn't huge money in on a small scale? I have my own processor and specific tractor for it. It may only work 3 weeks a year if that but so what. Tax deductible object. No messing about with other folk. All on your own timescale. Crack on Kev and get some brass splashed

    I run a japa 370 and you really need the correct stuff at the side of the machine or it's pointless. Not sure how much bigger mine is but still takes 40-45 mins to fill an ibc crate. Could do in less time with a log deck and 8' lengths but who wants to be that serious at fire wood lol
  16. swinny
    Good shout that on the inline possible wrong way round!
  17. swinny
    Something's not right there.... You only need the glow plug for cold start then should be fine most if not all.of the day (depends how often your using it) starting up from warm should just be a turn the key and start. Can you hear the fuel pump making noise when the ignition is on? Possibility of water in your fuel? Sticking fuel stop solenoid? Possibility of air getting in fuel.system and the fuel draining back this taking ages to crank to start.... Cracked fuel filter housing or washer not sealing for bleeding the filter on top of it.

    I send allsorts of oversize away for biomass... Bit criminal really but too labour or investment heavy to get to a final product for me. Yes a screw splitter job would be ideal for it.
  19. swinny
    To me.that would.go.in the biomass pile all day long lol
  20. swinny
    Should be ok on that front as welder wouldn't be more than 10' max away from the socket... Mostly just wheeled around in the vacintiy of the plug socket. Then stored back away
  21. swinny
    That socket is in my personal garage. That wire runs maybe 18m through house down to rcb and on its own fuse /rcb. Our house is the first of the row to get electricity.

    Niglon b32 on the breaker. Googled and 32amp
  23. swinny
    Daft as it sounds which dimension do I measure? Seems wider and a bit deeper than norm.... Will look in the rcb see what amp breaker is
  24. swinny
    This is the power supply to my garage... Wire looks bugger than normal and I told the sparkle to give me a decent cable as was going to run a mig.... Not sure if it's any cop or not but I think it's slightly bigger than usual? If not I'll get my new man to come and stick me a proper supply in! Cheers. With regards to price ideally 500 was enough I thought but if I have to spend a little more to get something right than so be it. Quality that lasts and is still running when I retire will do lol 🤣

    Just looked at rtec 250a inverter and only said 9mm metal not sure what I expected to be honest
