  1. If you get it cutting up to its max dia it's not the quickest through the cut and the chain really does heat up giving the cutters hardened edges to the point where I would just chuck the chain and put a new one on. The bars always seemed to needs turning and dressing regularly. I personally am not a great lover of bio oil I use it in the tajfun as we're 150 m away from a large river at the yard and thought it would be better than mineral based. The idea of putting an external oil supply on had occurred to me if I still had the machine I would be going down that route. I'm sure it could be done quite easily at a modest cost. The tajfuns not that good at bendy stuff the if the end against the ram is cut at to servers an angle it does not go through the knife properly resulting in loads of smashed bits. It will cope with banana shaped cord but the real bent stuff gets put in a pile and a lad with a small japa does it. I then do an equal amount of time doing his over size.
  2. That's the only down side to the farmi I spend a lot of time stood in front of it and like you could see the mist of oil. The hydraulic oil does not stick like chain oil and really affected the cutting performance of bar and chain. The oil was hot anyway so made situation worse. If I was still using my farmi I would be wearing a mask it can't be good for you. I really do miss it as for bendy stuff it was great no guards to stop you getting it where you want it.
  3. Please don't quote him as I didn't realise you could read quotes when there on an ignore list. How did I know you would play the anti Islamic card shame on you keep your bigoted view about me and others to your self. I've many Muslim friends from my time spent in Birmingham and you do not present as one in the slightest.
  4. Watching top gear hilarious
  5. Thats the kind of response I expect from you running other members down by pm I've got nothing to hide from others . What ever I say from behind a key board I'm quite prepared to say in person. I usually give people the benefit of the doubt but you have gone beyond that
  6. Same here works for us.
  7. Think that needs needs to go in the piss poor English thread. Ty if you find little faces on the net iratating you your tolarece levels of others must be at an all time low. You want other to imbrace your culture but yet find every one elsa annoying or pick holes in them. It shows in your posts but even more in your pms.
  8. Joy your right it's niit designed to twist our mechanic/fitter came to look at our truck yesterday and had a quick look he's going to order some hose he thinks is better suited for that application. Shame the rear diff in the truck couldn't be sorted as cheeply
  9. My pet hate is people pointing out poor spelling and grammar. I come on arbtalk to chill out not worry about thing that are never going to affect me. I'll put pm sent if it's cord for sale as I like the poster to know I'm interested.
  10. All insurance I've had ive clearly stated what kit ive got its tedious but if you get a claim they can't riggle out of it . A contents policy will not cover work gear.
  11. Ee = crap Bt = crap double crap ohh the joy 2 land lines 2 contracts
  12. I'll double that straight off the bat £10.00
  13. Is it a 20 or a 3o t machine
  14. Fair play that's some cracking work
  15. Really sorry to hear about your break in hope your insured and get it sorted quickly getting closer to home
  16. Our local fencing suplier buys it in large quantities and decant sit in 5 gallon barrels you no it's good stuff as it makes your eyes run. It also makes my ski blotchy if I get any on me while using in sunny weather.
  17. If this is happening so often why have they not changed the design
  18. Very short hook on the matbro
  19. Big pile of bits on the newly laid slate drive or nice neat bag in the car port people don't want to stack logs if there in a bag they don't have to. If you charge a returnable deposit on the bag they will come back to you to get as they don't want to loose the £7.50.
  20. The opp want to cut down on manual handling not increase it Plus it looks more professional offering tipped loads and bag delivery via crane
  21. Really surprised at that does not look like there's anything for it to rub through very strange
  22. This has not been the case in any of the claims I've ever made must be lucky I guess. Insurance company's insure themselfs against loss .
  23. Well I must of missed that Jon I've had my eye out for one of them for ages
  24. What was the% of birch as those prices are very low
