Talking of bodges... I'm sure you know, but is that cable sufficient for either the steam cleaner or the compressor over whatever distance?🤣

'You can' invariably translates as 'only the best cutters flogging themselves' Rates need to increase, both for the product and the production. Otherwise decent gear is just going to keep going for biomass.

Who decides?

Intermecatto with fixed rotator. Simply no contest. Don’t even contemplate a dangle mount unless solely handling timber. I like a 2+3 tine. Tying to grab posts from the top is a recipe for bending one so avoid that. Just make sure the mount is angled so that you can hold things vertically in front of you, then you can grab posts like that to pull.

For sticky residue, sticky label remover is ideal (surprisingly). Brush it on and then a couple of minutes later scrape or otherwise peel/abrade it off (wire brush on drill etc). Petrol also works, and is considerably cheaper for the amount you will probably need!

Those will fold in half if it's as boggy as I think you are describing. Proper bog mats are made from half a dozen large sleepers bolted together, and yes, they are heavy!!

If it's as close range as you describe (4m), then open sights or a red dot sight. No scopes, you will struggle to paralax or even focus at that range, and even low mounts will play havoc with holdover/under.

An air pistol won’t be powerful enough, nor accurate enough without a lot of practice. get a carbine .22 break barrel with a red dot sight and wadcutter type pellets. if money isn’t an issue then an electric compressor and a lightweight multishot pcp would be the easiest to use, and with a decent set of spinner targets could be a rewarding hobby also.

Yes, the shredder guard is a decent bit of kit and I'd not want to use the shredder knife without it. It's also good because it stops bits being missed, you can push it into the brambles like a tiny bulldozer blade and it will all get mulched.

Milwaukee m18 transfer pump is what you want. Incredible.

I agree.

That sounds like an absoloute whore of a job. Bracken will be tough as old boots by now. No chance of getting a narrow alpine tractor between the rows? Or a pedestrian swipe? Guard off, 4 way head (makes cord last much longer) and 2.7mm cord. A good balance between using all the power of the strimmer and cutting a good swathe without too much drag. You need to be as quick as possible on that rate, and a guard will severly limit you. And watch for ticks! I'd want double the money and I'd still only do it a walk behind or ride on machine.

All the electric splitters I've used have run the whole time, in order to minimise startup cycles. The lever is a spool lever, so it directs the hydraulics to work rather than jsut bypass/cycle. Engage the spool and the motor loads up, and loads up further when resistance is encountered.

Whatever mate. Domestic single phase log splitters are all made in China, all you really choose is the colour. That splitter is slow and cumbersome, but the same goes for all modern single phase splitters really, slow due to feck all juice on a single phase outlet and cumbersome due to all the legislated safety features these days. You're lucky there's not a cage around the splitting area on that one!

Any online bearing suppliers Are the bearings shagged then?

IMHO if you want to use a gasless mig then just get an arc welder and learn that instead. Going hassles removes all the benefits of mig over arc. I’d have thought with a euro torch you’d always need to change the wires over internally?

Sorry mate, you can’t come in without a grab. * bouncer closes door*

250. Lovely machines, mine is used lots. There’s a bloke on the mig forum who put 1000kg of wire through his with no issues.

I did try to edit my post to add that you should go modern decent inverter over a transformer. Lighter, pulls more juice from a single phase connection and can do arc as standard too. Can be run off a long extension lead and will also run off a decent genny if the need arises.

R-Tech, no question about it. Widely considered the best value hobby/semi pro MIGs on the market, and the backup is fantastic. I've got two migs and a plasma and they have been pretty heavily used. With bodywork it's all about how low the amps will go- cheap sets skimp here. https://www.r-techwelding.co.uk/r-tech-181-digital-mig-welder Call them up to order and ask to change the torch for a genuine Binzel MB15- much nicer to use. Won't cost much.

Looks like it's Shibuara. Still Japanese and reliable. New Holland 1220: Specs, Engine, Transmission, Dimensions AGRO-SPECS.COM Production Distributor: New Holland Manufacturer: Shibaura Type: Compact Utility tractor Factory: Japan Original price:... List of tractors built by Iseki for other companies | Tractor ... TRACTORS.FANDOM.COM This is for tractors built by Iseki for other companies.

Yes the Honda engine oil switches just divert the spark to earth when they trip.

Afaik ford/nh rebranded Shibuara tractors. Massey sold some badge engineered Iseki compacts for a while. Unless there was a on older agreement between Ford/Iseki?

It's been two days, and nobody has pointed out the glaringly obvious. If your winch couldn't keep up, I'll bet a pound to a silver pig that you made the classic tree surgeon mistake of putting the winch rope way too high. I've seen it time and time again, from guys with years of arb experience, with varying degrees of collateral damage that was totally avoidable. The worst is when you can see whats coming a mile off, but you can't tell the lead company to do it any different as if you tell them the right way and their blokes with no experience still **************** it up it'll then be your fault. Arb and forestry are totally different, and it really shows in situations like these. With a dead pop, I'd always set the rope probably around halfway up depending on weight distribution/what it looks like (theres the years of experience, hard to quantify), notch it and guage the size of the gob by how quickly I encounter rot. Then the backcut leaving a really recent amount of wood (cannot stress this enough). A good, committed pull with the 2.7t digger or Multione or truck and away she goes.
