    My mother in law (not dragon in law:-) ) uses a lot called ems Internet for her holiday cottage website and I think they promise to get her on google front page if u search the area for holiday cottage. But don't quote me cuz I'm no web page boffin, u can't make them with a mig or tig welder!!!!!!

    I don't mean to sound derogatory but if ur not sure on what mix goes where then do u know how to use the saw safely?
  3. MikeTM150
    where is it and how much u looking for it? It burns so its good enough to heat our house!!

    we use our big 180hp tractor and loader with a bucket on........better than our telehandler and more likely not to break down than the red french junk they call the worlds no. 1!!!!!

    As above, the oil you describe leaking is 'normal' and the problem lies with the pto brake band, these are tricky little blighters to get right, i would suggest your county is based on a 7610 rear end like you say. So getting the adjustment right is quite critical and i'm afraid without seeing it i couldn't tell you which is the right method as ford used several different variations which have little difference in working concept but different to setup. But a bit of head scratching and looking at it should work it out, they need to be surprisingly tight to prevent it rotating but not to tight it binds when running (the critical bit). Perhaps if u can get some pics on here i can see which it is! hope this helps!

    it was happening to me but it stopped doing it today!!! Don't u just love technology!

    they're gonna control the world soon....... every market every country!

    shame ur not closer, i'd take the lot off ur hands as it is by the grain trailer load! Goes into my log burner just as well as a bit with bark on it!! I'd say best bet was to sell it as joinery waste by just bagging it up as is or bulk delivery and explaining to the customer what it is? But i have no experience of selling wood!!
  9. MikeTM150
    Ur not wrong there!!! They've just built a new huge one in a town called yate nor too far from here, and apparently its got a hairdressers, beauty saloon, and costa coffee in it!!

    this is very interesting to me, having always done my own firewood off the farm, i'd never realised that there was a whole industry making and selling firewood, always thought there was a few supplying niche markets but not to the high level of what seems to be out there. Certaintly never thought you kiln dried firewood....... I wonder where it will all end up in years to come, a few large scale producers covering the country hauling wood miles, or stay the same as we are now?

    gotta say a simple plate like the pictures above will be surprisingly good at transfer weight to the rear wheels and provide a very nimble light weight solution. Quad bike/timber trailer is not cheap.....highly desirable to knick aswell!!

    how many squids u looking for it?

    isn't that where they use tnt to vent the gas aquifers, which in america led to a town being poisoned by they're water supply being contaminated by shale gas extraction? Not that i have a problem if its the right town...... Am interested in this ditch hedge theory sounds like something to experiment with!

    Thats half the price of the new T7.235 NH tractor sat in my yard, and probably much cheaper to run and much quicker to return profit on its investment! How many tons of wood do u sell a year nick?
  16. MikeTM150
    i like the idea of a bank and hedges but that won't be cheap either but it'll look a damn sight prettier than a wire fence system!! Hope you can get some pics up for us to see!!

    if u can pack the thorn into a bag and onto a courier then i'd have them at the right price to make it worth you doing. Also some ash at around12-24" would be welcome my way, but depends on how many u wanna get rid of at a time?

    Mac Many thanks for those thoughts, i think ur right with the deer problem being a ongoing problem with coppicing. One that i hadn't really thought of! Think i'm going to have to think a bit harder about the cost of this because deer fencing for 6 acres is going to be cheap!! Good job deer taste good otherwise i'd put them in the badger (even the ones with a billock!) pain in the arse bracket!

    sat infront my Jotul F100 right now, small machine big power!!! Love it, though don't do i what i did and smash the glass in the door, £80 for a piece 14inches by 10inches i know its special glass but that hurt!!! Serves me right for trying to ram a log in with!!! Go for it, well made cast iron, its worth the £££££'s:biggrin:
  21. MikeTM150
    Ha ha ha ha i was wondering for a while what u were meaning, thinking 'damn have i missed an easy option' tis like that sometimes simplicity becomes complexity of its own making!!!! I like critism, it only makes u stronger, or drunk...........:lol:

    from my view there's no such thing as an accident anymore, someone has always got to be responsible. Don't get me wrong some HSE is good, but some is twaddle, you can't risk asses for stupidity! And i personally think the more u tell people how things should be done, it stops them THINKING for themselves and considering the risk before they make an action....... The risk assement for our farm is a file 4inches thick which is provided by the NFU as part of my insurance, do we read it...... of course:lol:!!!! But if we followed it by the letter, i'd have no employee's cuz they'd have all got diddled off with it and i'd need 10times the number to do the same work! Common sense and ur own brain are ur best safety assests but HSE don't see it like this:thumbdown:

    If i put it in the h-beam, how would that stop the ram? It needs to 'lift' the rod to move the vlave into neutral position?
  24. MikeTM150
    now i'd agree with this but current experience is proving otherwise, my relief tractor driver managed (not sure how!) to hit a eleccy pole with our tractor whilst mowing silage. He snapped it off about metre high and the top of the pole was being held off the ground by about a foot cuz of the eleccy cables. Now they came out about 6pm, erected new pole and buggered off, they obviously took all the details of who, what and the like and i expected to see a nasty bill in the postbox fairly smartish........ but that was late june and still no bill...............

    Um, badgers.....not my favourite topic but lets no go down that route here, other than there general destructive nature i'm guessing u reckon they'll trash the new shoots that grow up after coppice and dig around the stools damaging the stools? Deer fencing isn't going to be cheap, i'm guessing £10/meter? Also i'm wondering what the future is gonna hold when its grown up into nice sized stands and i start chopping them down, are the greenies going to get their knickers in a twist? We do suffer with the london greenies who come to the country for the 'good' life but don't have a clue how we do things......oh yeah and shock horror u find big farm machinery on rural roads........:001_huh:
