  1. Oak and chestnut are the best once kiln dried just don't like paying water
  2. Not again pleaseb:laugh1:
  3. Yes but it's crap to work with take ages to dry as it still has all the bark on as it's hand cut. It's not worth more than £38 if you can get more fair play to you
  4. I'm amazed you don't come across this every week on your rounds we do and every merchant I know does
  5. :thumbup:
  6. Stone island black label is the in thing for the wanna be now check out the price. Most of them round here wearing there fake jumpers with pride:lol::lol:
  7. Who said anything about burning wet wood most of our clients are happier when the wood is at 22%. The vast majority don't know how to control there fire. We had nothing but complaining about kiln dried burning to quick. There not going to pay more for a product that in there eyes burns quicker. Given up trying to educate just listen to feed back and supply what they ask.
  8. We got a local company down your way looking for return loads were just stacked out with local cord at the moment it will soon go though
  9. Is there hard standing next to that stack
  10. If I sell 10 bags I cut 20 works for us . Barns full fields full yards going to be full when my haulier pulls his finger out. Lot of locals have been put off by kiln dried as it just burns to quick.
  11. We had hornbeam cut in late July split and bags stored in windy site going out by end of December at 22% customers can't get enough of it. Mind you the bigger bits with buttresses on did make the processor work hard twisty nasty grain
  12. My only concern with kiln drying is should we really be using good quality soft wood to dry other wood. All the older cutters are saying with in a decade there will be no stands left to cut. I'm still not sold on idea
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. Watching top gear hilarious
  17. 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
  18. Same here works for us.
  19. 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.
  20. 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
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. Ee = crap Bt = crap double crap ohh the joy 2 land lines 2 contracts
  24. I'll double that straight off the bat £10.00
  25. Is it a 20 or a 3o t machine
