You're pragmatic and honest about the realities of your situation, I like that. Though selling wholesale, I wouldn't be quite so anal about the quality of your product.

Who do you use Bob?

https://woodlandmills.co.uk/product/hm126-track-extension/ Had a look. To be fair, £270 seems pretty reasonable for that.

Ash - Chances of catching Deadline
doobin replied to Witterings's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
Best to knock them over before they get really brittle, otherwise it's not much fun standing underneath them as you fell them. -
Ash - Chances of catching Deadline
doobin replied to Witterings's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
I'm near you and I'm advising clients to leave ash to take their chances also. No point reducing to have to fell a few months later. It's really bad around here. -
German made? If you believe that then I have a bridge to sell you! ?

Copper nails? Or was it eco plugs?

The thing with the mini skid loaders is that they look handy- but they're always without fail on their tiptoes, looking hard to control when you see YouTube videos. Has anyone a link to a video of them in use where the operator looks in control, doing repeated cycles?

I don't think there are even different grades of adblue. Sounds like bullshit to me. ADBLUE: HOW IT AFFECTS YOUR FLEET | fuelGenie WWW.FUELGENIE.CO.UK Fleet managers are feeling the effects of AdBlue top-ups: and with most fleets running diesel vehicles also requiring... "AdBlue is a proprietary name, like Hoover and iPhone: i.e. there are not different types or brands of AdBlue, though there may at any time be different brands selling other urea-based solutions that perform the same function."

You can move a heck of a lot more with a 1.5t and grab than you can by hand! Great for stacking timber and loading brash onto fires.
-
Then you won't go wrong with a mini digger and grab rather than a chipper.
-
If you don't then you've screwed up.

What size pieces of yew are required for bow making? And what are they worth?
-
Yes to small tools, but think hard as to whether in your target market (big gardens and woodlands) your first large purchase should be a chipper, or instead a digger or tractor. See what types of jobs you end up with then take the plunge accordingly. I’ve been doing tree type works ten years and only bought a chipper last year. Plenty of diggers though!
-
Really like the look of it- a very nice design. I was drooling over a Sherpa mini skid steer the other day too. Sadly I still can't think where I'd actually use one rather than one of my diggers!

You’re not listening. I said northern arbs selector page needs work. Are you running 3/8p or .325? Full or semi chisel?
-
No offfense mate but if you don’t know how to match a chain to a sprocket (not drive wheel) then you have a bit more to learn before you’ll be able to make top rate. Ms241 can run 3/8p or .325, if you use northern arbs domestic aimed chain selector it can go wrong. They need to cater more for pros but that’s by the by. that said it does sound like a poor price rate. Is it sussex or Kent?

Got quoted 14k for a Sherpa 100 diesel recently. They look a handy bit of kit.

hydraulic pump CTE z20e cherry picker pump
doobin replied to Silver Back's topic in Maintenance help
I agree. You're looking for an OEM part, not a knockoff. Mind you, £300 doesn't sound bad for a pump. -
Not much use for sub 12mm holes though ? or indeed for blind holes.... lathe roughing.. deep holes (oer missus

Your nice Scandinavian designed stove and flue will be just fine if you burn dry softwood. What do you think they burn in Scandinavia, after all? ?

That’s a good start, but a a drill gauge is cheap and allows you to easily check angles and more importantly, each flute length. also two nuts give you 120 degrees. 135 degrees is a more useful angle for metal work. Most quality cobalt bits come at 135 from the factory.
-
Nothing will touch cbn for a clean cool grind. Stubby, pop down my yard for a go. You’ll be a convert.
-
And if you don’t have a drill gauge get one and learn to use it before you start!
-
The heat is a real issue. A cbn wheel makes so much difference. to be frank, you’re wasting your time trying to learn to sharpen on a cheapy grinder with a grey wheel. You’ll need to dress the wheel every twenty seconds and it’ll still get too hot and your bits will blue slightly then chip when you try to use them. Invest in a decent wheel- ceramic grain wheels are not that pricey and a big step up. But cbn makes life easy.
