Not being funny but is that a joke?

A lot of the old fenceposts were larch, and are still standing 30/40 years on, and that's 3" square posts. Maybe try a proper sawmill rather than a fencing yard, or maybe look up Octoposts https://www.daviesimplementsltd.co.uk/product/creosote-posts/
-
Can you not get hold of some nice larch or creosote posts locally? Would last as long as plastic!
-
Not for the faint hearted
-
Can't offer much advice, but I (with help from a friend) had to strip and rebuild my oc95. Got the cylinder relined and new piston etc. If you google, you can find the Kubota workshop manual for free download.
-
Have a look at Muck Truck, or the modified version, the "micro arb truck" You can even get turf tyres for them
-
My way of looking at it is have a smaller saw and save putting the wear on the big saw
-
Ended up finding a few faults with the Kubota engine, including the piston broken and only held together by a stuck ring, and a hairline crack in a governor lever that is inside the casing - glad my mate spotted that!
-
IMO, just throw it wherever requires the least effort or double handling, it will be grand firewood after spending a year or so in a good shed
-
Barrow bags are a similar size to wheelie bins, 200l-250l, and as the name suggests can be moved about easily by a sack barrow

Interesting bit of kit, looks like a nice project for a forum member!!? https://www.gumtree.com/p/plant-tractors/vintage-mobile-sawmill-/1263294441
-
Interesting Is there any disadvantages, like shorter lifespan of valve, extra wear on the rest of the hydraulic system, or lots of heat created in high speed mode?
-
Has anyone used one of the rapid extend valves, are they any good? Also seen them advertised on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LSR-3060-3-RAPID-EXTEND-LOG-SPLITTER-VALVE-/162259296201?hash=item25c7685fc9:m:mXWlkNXaaeE9zP5AR9smX3A

Exact same thing here, handle has broke (and been replaced by threaded road) a few times. It's only m8, which is a bit thin in my opinion. And the cast alloy part has broke too!!!
-
I like that
-
Just wondering, where/how did they break? I had a flowfit one break too. As you say don't think they're very well made
-
There's a Greenmech CS100 on ebay at the minute not a million miles from you, £3200, assuming it's all legit, that would be worth a look
-
Yes probably about the same, per kg!
-
The rotatech chains seem ok but one set I ordered took about 3 weeks to come! Customer service seems a bit poor/slow
-
Bare in mind aswell, the greenmech uses a B&S Vanguard, which is a commercial grade engine, different kettle of fish. Like comparing a professional Stihl/Husqvarna chainsaw with a domestic saw from the same brand.
-
Hoggs make good quality boots, both safety and non-safety
-
Should tell folks that you're getting a referral bonus out of it though eh......
-
Where's that black walnut video lol
-
Folks always like these adverts, £1200 to collect someone's bonfire pile https://www.gumtree.com/p/outdoor-settings-furniture/bulk-load-of-firewood/1258565753

Yes I bought some stuff in lidl years ago that was "wood flour" based, that was really good but have never seen it since. I wonder if you could make your own using a fine sawdust?
