    I should think it is hellish all over the U.K today. Does your yard drain away ok Jon on the Mendips or are you in a valley, still hellish whatever!!!

    I entirely agree, one much better of financially, in the long run, to push ones finances to the limit and get the machine that is "Really Up to the Job in hand," the first time, I have learnt that by experience, not one to repeat.!!!!

    Thanks for "Arbtalk",as at least one can see that there is usually someone having the same problems as oneself,if not worse. Out of interest "The Farming Forum" is another good forum especially for machinery related problems.

    Iam getting seroius about investing in Lasco Cone Splitter for knotty4ft+ diameter hardwood butts I can have. Would like to hear suggestions of which one to buy,from those of you who actually have one. I realise one still needs ot purchase or hire the 360 excavator to use it on.

    I am wanting someone with a Lasco M3 4.0S Cone log splitter ,mounted on 13ton 360 excavator to come and split some large diameter 3ft /4ft+ knotty hardwood butts for me,in March /April. I am based between Cirencester and Cheltenham. Please PM me to discuss charges transport of equipment etc. Thankyou.

    One downside of the Binderberger Gigant 40 is that the strengthening bar restricts the size if trunk that you can split with it. I have one and so found out at my expense,be WARNED!! The Ryetec type 40/50 tonne splitter looks to score in that way.

    So what "Forestry Worker" boots ,REALLY keep your feet warm and dry and "LAST" when working in the wet and mud that we are continuously having. I am not climbing trees just on the ground in the mud like most of you I expect :thumbdown: Cheers

    Interested to know the pros and cons of cone splitter vs conventional log splitter for splitting 3ft/4ft diameter knotty hard wood butts. I know with the cone splitter one has to taken in to consideration the purchase /stroke hire of the large 360 to get the most out of the cone splitter. Serious amounts of money involved !!! Thanks for any info.

    I have seen "Black Powder Log Splitting" videos on "You Tube",has anyone used this technique in the U.K for splitting big trunks? I realise (1) legislation would make it very difficult/impossible to purchase,store and use black powder for log splitting. (2) Black Powder looks quite expensive to buy. Look forward to your comments.

    Thanks guys,a lot to be said for the old saying "get it fixed properly in the first place".

    I need to repair a hairline crack on the hyd oil tank on my Japa 2100 firewood processor. Would the epoxy liquid/glue type metal crack repairing products be any good for the above problem or should I bite the bullet steam the tank out and get it welded properly? Tank capacity 40ltrs. I need to get problem fixed ASAP for obvious reasons. Thanks in advance for any replies.

    Do the fans, that one puts on the top of your wood burning stove,to blow the warm air from the stove to the other end of the room really work?

  15. cessna

    Do road plannings vary greatly in price and quality, as I am considering getting some to go down in my wood yard. How is the best way to go about getting hold of some.

    Just shows their is always someone a lot worse of than ourselves,sadly we all tend to forget that, "ME" included.

    My yard is extremely muddy due to this continuous damp/wet weather,never known it so bad. Just wondering if any one else is experiencing the same problem. I am fortunate that the fully enclosed shed I rent has a concrete floor,so good for processing.

    Are Yanmar engines as good as Honda or about the same?

    Thanks everyone. I think the load I had in yesterday must have been stacked in the shade for eight months, it has fungus on the butts ( 3mtr lengths) but it is all very wet when logged and split 28% /30% ish , I am not a happy chappy.:thumbdown:

    I know it has been asked before,does Alder burn O,K? I ask because I had a load of cord wood in to day and the vendor said it was a mixture of Ash and Alder, unfortunately it is predominatley Alder. It has been stacked at roadside for about nine mths and it is mainly about 10"to 12"diameter. Thanks

    Just wondering if any body has had good and bad experiences with Baltic imports, regarding quality of wood and the financial side e.g paying for it and then NO wood turns up !!! Still a great believer in "If something is cheap,it is cheap for a reason".

    Thanks for that,sorry for the delayed reply.How long has it lasted in your situation?

    Hi Duffryn,what is the name of the breathable cover,sounds a good idea. Thanks
  25. cessna
    I know you will all think my thread a bit basic!! BUT in the past I have stacked cordwood 2mtrs high or more due to lack of space and not covered it. BUT I am now wondering if I should stack it a mtr high and cover it as I now have more space. Do you cover your cordwood ? When I say cord wood I mean lengths of fire wood (2mtr,2.5mtr ,3mtr) long, seasoning to be turned in to logs.
