I think Breeze and Mechtrev are onto it, luckily pumps arent that dear, you could fit the right size and have yourself a good splitter
-
If anyone else has done it an lived, then in my book its worth a go
-
bother, what to do now??
-
oh no you:biggrin: arent

Is there an oil reservoir? (with a filler cap etc)

Thanks for the advice guys, going to go for beach with holly every now and then. We hadnt though of either of these as they are not in the usual mix. Im afraid as a stock farmer, both laurel and yew are out. I lost two very good steers last winter to yew on some ground that we graze. The amount required for a fatality is very small.

Anyone got any thoughts on which hedgeing plant would prosper the best under and oak tree? We usually plant a mixed hedge on the farm, and most of them have done really well, but not even the brambles thrive under this tree, hence the question, What would you plant? (Anything as long as its native)

Have you been following this at all? Really youve got to try harder. Not orange for a Mitsubishi

whatever you get, find the right shield and keep it as clean as possible, then you can watch what is going on at the weld.

We have a couple of nests that I know the location of ( ordinary uk hornets) one behind some hanging tiles on the old farmhouse and one in the fork of a oak tree that I havent been brave enough to get really close to. I know that wasps do not use the same nest each year but I get the feeling hornets may do. Anyone confirm/otherwise
-
Hornets do seem a lot bigger when flying than when dead, and quite intimidating when they head your way. From experience they can be coaxed out of their nests at night if you shine a bright light at them.

on the contrary, ...

I totally disagree

If you have the engine on full revs and its dying with no log in the way, then I think there is some other problem, possibly the valve. Post up some pictures or a video, and try to get some numbers off the pump and post on here
-
If the pump is stopping the engine then that means it is too big for the engine power. Either a larger engine or a smaller pump is required. A more complicated solution if you need high speed operation is to have a dual pump. others on the forum can calculate which pump you need if you post the hp of the engine. good luck hope you get it sorted Rod

Chains for pulling timber
farmer rod replied to Ty Korrigan's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
thankyou Sensei for this sound advice -
which part of the splitting cycle causes the detent to drop out on the tractor?
-
Yes, Im still looking forward to having that, perhaps I ought to give you the spare motor, either way it would be good to get my old one working again it was going like a train before I broke the handle. Ive got my MSF donation in the draw. regards Rod
-
brilliant, have no idea on price as I bought mine so long ago
-
or perhaps the relief valve on the splitter was blowing off before the tractor one, now with a new valve the tractor relief is going which will drop the valve back to centre. Solution, bungy cord round the lever to keep it in position. Why did you change the valve ?
-
Any ideas on how long after coppicing or planting it would be wise to exclude grazing animals. Obviously a bit species dependant. We have coppiced a bit of Ash/Birch with some Oak that used to run with the adjoining field, and have fenced it off, just wondering how long it will take to get animal proof. It is really appreciated by the cattle in the summer as they can get in the shade away from the flies.

Is anybody coppicing yew?
farmer rod replied to ArthurBottlesworth's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
Ive cut some off at ground level, but Im hoping it doesnt grow back because its toxic. (I am a little bitter and twisted on the subject) but I think it does coppice freely -
It's time i came out - i'm Presbyopic
farmer rod replied to Arbtech Tree Services's topic in General chat
you know when the condition is serious, when the focal length is greater than the length of your arms:thumbup1: -
I think its called the stool, where the tree has been coppiced for generations. Ash seems to often be left higher than chestnut, I dont know the reason for this but it may make it less convenient for rabbits to chew the new shoots.
