Think they like the damp, there's one here about the size of a large van!!

I started out with a small compressor which was ok but the best thing I did was buy the biggest compressor you can run off a 13amp plug, think the tank is 100 or 150l, and belt driven
-
Did it really reduce the size though? Seems easier to lob it straight on a compost pile! Also bit of a risk with stones etc The last hedge I cut I blew the trimmings straight back under
-
The main advantage of a wee chipper is leaving the chip in situ Bare in mind hedge cuttings, prunings etc aren't something you can really feed through a chipper

Looks like wild haggis, which is completely different to the raw haggis you get in the supermarkets, especially when raw.

Yes, it's just the ticket. She got a day out to the Isle of Skye today
-
Wonder if you could improve on that idea with a bathroom extractor fan and length of flexi hose?

Any firewood merchants around the Lumphanan Aberdeenshire area?

There's Wee Jim on here, 20 miles away in Ballater, if that's close enough -
Thanks Openspaceman and Stock, got round to fitting the rapid extend valve today, as the flowfit one needed replaced. Seems to be pretty sturdy Tried to get a video of it showing high speed and normal speed

Not used them, but try Scotbark. https://www.scotbarkuk.com/

Looks like just the weather for it!!

That's some amount of logs! Looks like Estonia

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?
