Nice, would make a good advertising tool with a bit of sign writing on the trailer and the bike frame

Mind on the Transit you can get different drive ratios aswell as power outputs (and also have the ecu remapped for more torque!)

The DVLA must've made a mistake on his licence, as he should've got his B+E How to add higher categories to your driving licence (staging and upgrading) : Directgov - Motoring

Although probably not very legal, I reckon you should move anything of value out of the shed that was broken into, and booby trap the place (home alone style), set up some cctv, and wait for them to come back!

There's a company in Newcastle who sometimes advertise a petrol powered 2 way splitter on ebay, if you're wanting to have a look at the design: NEW DUAL ACTION 20 TON PETROL DRIVEN FAST LOG SPLITTER on eBay (end time 24-Jan-11 20:05:04 GMT) (obivously made in china!)

I dunno what your barn looks like, but could you fit mesh windows/grilles/vents above head height? Or just airbricks or something? I've also seen people use pallets standing vertically between piles of split logs, to get air moving right throughout
-
Bare in mind that if he's gonna let you store and work the wood on site then that could be in your adavntage as you're not paying out on haulage and rent for a yard (and also disposal of sawdust!)

See this PDF for info on the JCB powerpacks http://www.jcb.com/products/lightequipment.pdf A new machine can give up to 20ltr/min and 138 bar I've got a "10 ton" splitter which runs well off a Trojan, there's a vid on another splitter thread of it working

Fake "Non Compliant Chainsaws Dangerous" on Youtube

Aye it's pretty good You can change the "polarity" of the lever by swapping the hoses to the powerpack over I hooked them up like that so that if you were to fall on the lever the ram goes up, rather than down onto any bodypart which may be in the way

Thanks for the advice folks If anyone on here is interested, in the end I got a splitter from "Harrows are us" and am running it off a 2nd hand JCB Trojan, here's a wee video I made up a workbench out of pallet wood to sit it on at a nice height [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyOUAgY69f0]YouTube - Vertical hydraulic log splitter[/ame]

400 bags would be too much weight, 200 would be closer to being legal

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJ_EiY2KJu8]YouTube - Freeheat Junior Press[/ame] I wonder what a mix of sawdust and paper/card would be like?

Spotted this on ebay, seems a bit fiddly to use as a splitter! [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmnoxjGRnNA]YouTube - Mini-ram log splitter[/ame] Mini Digger Post Rammer, Knocker, Banger, Log Splitter on eBay (end time 03-Jan-11 20:05:02 GMT)

Atleast he was wearing a pair of radio ear defenders so he had something to listen to whilst waiting for the ambulance

Nope, no oil on wood
-
Yep i've got the original stihl bar, and a newer oregon bar
-
If there's tough bits or big rounds get a few wood grenades (or any other splitting wedge), you knock them in with a sledge hammer But you need a few incase one gets stuck!
-
Yeh as above I can block it with a screw, and with the bar off it would appear to oil as it should out of the correct hole. But with the bar fitted, the oil doesnt run along the bar. I've tried 2 different bars and both were cleaned before fitting

It has definatly been warmer today, and also a little rain, so there will be icey roads in the morning/at night
