Goaty

Selfish and petty whoever did it. Bit like the thread Taupotreeman put up a while back on poisoned trees. Its stupid, it could of killed someone.

Quality of beech from here are goodParks Farm Forest Nurseries

For removing concrete splashes off exterior paintwork, Ive used it on concrete mixer trucks.

Inflated price expected. They will probably leave it or drill a hole pull it out. Or worst case weld a new sill on and repair in Royal mail red (cheaply available paint) How is it going to cost £100?? I feel for you, also reckon you have the right to get a 2nd opinion. Van will be on same run tomorrow to get a photo.

Ah ha. thank you I wondered why I was double, I worked on consecutive links alternatively being slightly different sizes and the pitch being the average between the two. And if there was a drive link on every link the chain wouldn't be able to go round the sprocket:001_rolleyes: Thanks Barrie:thumbup1:

I thought it might be Jarah, so googled it. I think I must be on the wrong thread:blushing:

Thats a huge one man carbon footprint for you Tony:001_tt2:

Lots of answers here http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/firewood-forum/40071-how-much-wood-do-you-get-through.html

I googled .325 inches into feet, got 0.0270833 ft. divided 100ft by 0.0270833 =3692. 3 links I may by wrong.

Always handy to have for many... for those "I'll get my coat moments"

If you do allotments wont they be fussy about spreading soil diseases such as clubroot etc?

Pinus nigra. corsican pine. The trees will have bigger needles as well.

Never done it but I would be wary of when you engage the push mechanism that a branch doesn't get snagged in the frame and swing round and hit the tractors cab glass or lights. It won't happen often but when it does Might but worth u bolting a sheet of steel across the front of the push fence and maybe extend a mesh above the back of the rake. Im paranoid by experience. Murphys law is dominant in my life. :- " Anything that can go wrong, will..."

1st question No 2nd Yes because more contact area on log equals higher pressure required to push for the same yield. Think if you stood on 3 spades at once with one foot. However if you could design it so 1 knife hits then another and so on it is more efficient use of power as as it spreads the requirement. This is how some kindling machines work.

Mileage/hours these days I find irrelevant personally. Careful lady owner etc. Can mean its a lethargic troublesome motor. Diesel engines tend to go to the scrapyard in good working order with plenty of life in them. I'd buy on its real condition. i.e not blacked up tyres etc. UJs etc should be getting cheaper now that its 5 years old model. Thats my thoughts. I'd buy high high mileage, as like you. I rarely do 12k per year. It will bring the average down for when you resell.

Lots of stuff is in this industry, we still do according to ancient specifications. It aggravates me sometimes. I did a job "Under a consultant" He was victorian era! Just my experience, despite many on the tools wanting to embrace new ideas, techniques etc. Those that 'Manage read from old manuals and books' Councils are special at this.

Not challenging this, its all cool. But for me when we used the parmiter knocker after 45minutes on a post in a hard dry spot near a tree or hedge or compacted area the ram used to weep and shake its gland nut loose and other fixings as well including the slide pole bracket which cracked at the bottom on 2 occasions. I was personally wearing out as well using levers and various means to steer the post. Now I can bang 12inch diameter posts and adjust hydraulically in any direction. Only to reflect on what is avery old design. I wouldn't be fencing now with my old kit. It was probably a 100kg weight. It was the worst part of the job. As for 120 degree swing that no Bryce could dream of, have you looked at the go anyway beast I posted a link to earlier in the thread. I know its a bit biased us having a bryce, But if it wasn't for Jock Bryces original design features, many of the current uk manufacturers wouldn't be producing the good kit they are, many design features are plagiarized, just check the earliest dates of a feature and see who follows. I also know of another fencing contractor who built his own machine, a manufacturer visited him about something else, then next thing was marketing knockers with 2 of his features!!! I know how I would feel. Patents are a futile waste of money as Bryce have come to know. Not having a nasty moment, just sharing what Im aware of.

You got a book already then Dave:thumbup:

No but deceased tree mens relatives would probably skip them as boring old books!

Yes cage is a bit like a corset, keeps it in shape. If you do use them out of a cage. A firm flat surface underneath and only use them static. Also keep them out the sun for long life.

Forge area and overhead powerdrive pulley system.

And on a steep incline as well! No but I probably could in my dexterous 20s. Now I struggle to do my own laces.
