  1. Shouldn't it be landrover in the garage and wood out? ! :-)
  2. You need an eye for a chain when using them but I use the lidl £20 job once a week with great success. New discs available so no problem with getting spares. If you don't have an eye you can over heat the cutters whilst trying to take too much off. Depth adjustment's critical and there's no facility to reduced the rakers. Having said that works for me.
  3. Anyone else going to next weeks Woodfuel Sector Update Meeting at Stirling Mart on Wednesday afternoon? Agenda revolving about accreditation for wood fuel suppliers to RHI recipients. Dave
  4. Weatherweb.net handy for longer range forecasts.
  5. They'll be paying double that from me!
  6. Damp enough here to get folks lighting up. Phone started ringing.
  7. I sell logs not sticks but it's the sticks I give away.
  8. Checks on tractors ad trailers as well. Nice earner for testers.
  9. I thought this document from the states was really interesting. It looks at how dry you can expect your wood to become in various parts of USA and world dependent on weather in area month by month. http://www.fpl.fs.fed.us/documnts/fplrn/fplrn268.pdf]http://www.fpl.fs.fed.us/documnts/fplrn/fplrn268.pdf Dave
  10. Trailer looks completely out of balance.
  11. Horse chestnut. Nowt wrong with it, burns a treat.
  12. Double handled nutrition feed bucket from the ewes. Sits inside a wicker basket by fire for neatness.
  13. It was mentioned in regards to one of these woodlands that's been split into lots and sold off. I was very collaborative locally but there's some folk that are really sore on machines and those folk are sorer on machines that aren't theirs!
  14. Heard today that lottery funding through Leader program willing to accept applications from collaborative woodland owners to buy and share log processing equipment.
  15. And I bet they got a grant for the processor as well to boost local employment and fuel. Annoys me. Dave
  16. My understanding is that once you bring wood in from outside it becomes an industrial process and requires change of use planning application on the ground you use to process and store the wood. Logging your own wood is a forestry/agricultural use. Dave
  17. Don't think so. The self certification route is for wood from your own land. Worth checking up on though.
  18. Cheers guys. Passed on details. Much appreciated. Dave
  19. Found myself helping the local museum with their grey fergie and tipping trailer. The seals in the ram are leaking so stripped it down in the workshop and removed the damaged seals. Can I find seals online? Not in the 5 minutes I could spare! Where can I point the museum to find them? Any ideas? Ta, Dave
  20. 540 or 1000?
  21. Boom tish!
  22. .....for 100% time bomb of doom!
  23. Think I'd use a Humboldt for a better hinge. You wouldn't want it going on a red light.
  24. Aye. Easy enough to weld up a frame and bolt it to trailer. You could put it smack in middle of trailer.
  25. Aye something like this.
