I think the original ones 15+ years ago were made of a better quality. It could just be nostalgia, I remember being impressed by them in use, then despite sanding rough edges or using a knife to take the join flat on the later ones, it Still sticks and slurps fuel everywhere. Expect better for the brand and price.

Did they?

The simple answer is to get rid of these grants and schemes, it props a few up nicely and everyone else struggles. It will soon end up like the subsidy dependent farming that we have become accustomed to in previous decades. Quite simply if something is not viable don't do it. But only fair if level playing field.

I can't help you and the distance is probably the killer, I could've last year. What diameter and lengths. I assume its for firewood.

Good effort Dean I like to Fix myself when I can. It can be a headache at times. The multione isn't designed with maintainence in mind. Taking the floor panel out to check hydraulic dipstick etc. Also the one I get to use is used in blather during winter. Its tedious to get the mud out the axle brackets engine bay etc.

Bad to say what it is. Hard weather, Graft union failure(unlikely) Verticilium wilt. Have a google and compare. Depending what it is, it may help the tree to remove all the dead material.

For years I've worn Grafters basic safety boots. £25ish. They look old fashioned and resemble cadet boots but with a steel toe cap. Never off my feet for 12 months unless using a chainsaw, then in the bin. Like all dependable stuff, discontinued...... Now I have to buy the padded tear off collar and icing sugar sole stuff that costs £40 plus and lasts 6 uncomfortable months or 9 at the most. The grafters never laughed at me but I tried other grafters, they were slippers for cushty boys who only talk about work. I too need to source a real working mans boot.

Large container grown conifer supplier required
Goaty replied to monkeybusiness's topic in General chat
My thoughts are Expensive size and haulage They may rock around and not establish that well Get smaller ones that will catch them up and overtake them. Sorry don't know of large suppliers, but ensure not imported from warmer climes as they can struggle when winter hits them. -
whats the cubic size of a 1 ton builders bag please
Goaty replied to predator's topic in General chat
84cm x 84cm x84cm many of them are. = 0.64 cubic metre -
Sorry its not a 404 model.
-
A parts diagram any good? I think my brothers is a 404.

Bash them in usually with a post knocker. I prefer hardcore packing as the post can breathe then, whereas concrete on wood posts causes a rot line at the top of the concrete.

I chipped a pile in woodland three years ago. Had little room to operate in, one sycamore ended up being surrounded at its base in woodchip. I t was dead in less than 18 months. It was only a young one probably 8 inch diameter. It seems they like to have airflow. Also they are very suseptible to fungi attack. Ask a sawmiller they will tell you its a pig to season. I think at best you have logs.

I only have pto driven chipper, yes I do run my tractor on red. But If it was a level playing field and rebated fuel didn't exist, crime(illegal use of fuel) would be cut and one less thing for the VOSA HMC&E predators to hunt down legit operators, wasting productive time, also cowboy outfits wouldn't have an opportunity to reduce running costs whether taxis, hauliers, farmers or whoever. I think one fuel to rule them all. Is the only way.

Just put what you want on arbtalk. Steve has the knack, anything seems to come up in the 1st 5 or 10 in a search engine.
-
Get a professional in.
-
You wouldn't everybody would pay the same. Simplify. End of problem.
-
Drill it out then cut it square. The finish quality will be even better. Nice use of an old resource.
-
I've said this before. Its just too simple. Like moving clocks 1/2 an hr one last time. Instead of the disruptive faff, we currently go through twice a year.

Level playing field on tractors, width limit supposed to be 2.45 mtrs until 21yrs of age i.e cheap haulage labour. Illegal to tow behind telehandler on highway. Also carrying goods on front. cpc course. Tachographs. Drivers hours/ working hours. MOT. 6 weekly inspections. O licence. Trucks speed limit on single carriageways 40mph! Trucks authorities and public number one hated road users despite low incident levels. Yes it will soon be unstrapped bale confetti season for farmers. No wonder hauliers/drivers get narked. Tax benefits, grants, subsidies. etc A level playing field would be uproar. Its highly unlikely to happen.
-
Would agree, also will affect field maples and other relatives. Are the trees same age on council property. Could be soil bourne from supplier. It can take a couple of years to do its nasty.

Fabricating a bracket for holding a ladder as slabbing rail
Goaty replied to morten's topic in Milling Forum
Thats a simple straight forward set up Liam. Did you just let it rest at the butt end on the log? -
Pyrus communis. Wid pear. 99% certain.

wilted as well. I'd say a plum family. Damson, blackthorn(sloe), gage etc. I'd go with sloe.

I know a chap that bought a scania 8 wheeler concrete mixer last year. It was about 4 years old it was intended to be a quick repacement for the one he had that had been wrote off. Had it in the country within a week or so. It took the authorities around 8 months to get the paperwork, approval, inspections done. I assume they have lots of coffee breaks.
