Iv tried one but prefer my 357 which is far more reliable and better built.

new medical condition found in women !!!
Matthew Storrs replied to Johny Walker's topic in The Lounge
Ah yes, that explains it, although the first entry for CMD in the urban dictionary is applicable to men and women, but the second is a common disorder in women. -

Or congenital muscular dystrophy? -

I can't tell if this is a joke or not! When Googling CMD it just comes up with a clothes company- or maybe that's the condition? -
This is exactly the problem I always find as I never have the luxury of easy ground. By drilling out bigger you get more leeway for accurate positioning, nothing more annoying than having to widen the hole by hand when your in the swing of putting the posts in.

Smaller wheels on the bigger trailer, obviously to reduce CoG but not sure why the smaller tipper doesn't have them as you'd think it'd be more stable plus easier to load

Currently a 3.5 10x6 Ifor which is a nice size but will soon get an atlas 10x5 tipper I think so I don't have to handball stuff any more! Also the current Ifor is 6.5ft wide which can be a bit wide in these narrow Dartmoor lanes and gateways.

I use an 8inch on 5x3s, I find this gives a bit more room to place with if the auger wanders a bit, and you are positioning the post at exact positions. 12inch for big gate posts (if they won't ram in!)

You will learn the right way pretty quickly as opposed to trial and error which could take years and have disastrous consequences! Good luck tho

I do like that- particularly the bench seat:thumbup1:

Upon reading the book, the wild potato which he ate was actually deemed in his book safe to eat, however it was the algae which grew on the plant that made his body repulse food- leading to starvation. I see him in two minds- I can't make up whether he was selfish for the way he treated his family or extremely brave for following his TRUE hearts desire, something not many of us would do, Bit of both perhaps.

Yes definiatly worth a watch- as with most Liam neeson films I find.

Nah, at 45k its a non starter no matter how good they are, 45k buys a new Isuzu (or whatever) and leaves a tidy some left over for a tractor or lorry to do the hard graft.

Watching Into the wild at the moment, good film and good soundtrack

Spot on, folk need to lighten up, we are all here because we enjoy what we do!

I'm afraid I'm not overly impressed with the new series, they're lovely saws to use, but the casing is very flimsy, my work mate is very careful with his saws but pieces of plastic have broken off very easily and can't be replaced without replacing the whole fuel tank, so now sawdust gets into the air filter compartment. Built too lightly IMO. And problems starting warm I find.

Sure, but probably a bit OTT for firewood duties:001_smile:

Le sanglier was I think, what's to stop them coming back under a different name?
-
Haha, I know that feeling all too well. Fortunately iv got some cracking views which more than makes up for the appaling slowness of my journey. Don't tend to go much further than 15miles in my zetor unless its a nice big job where I can leave it on site for weeks on end!

Blimey- you can tell it was raining last Sunday 13th:001_smile:

Anyone had much experiance with Case internationals 885xl? There always seems to be quite a few about at realistic money, I like the fact that they have a 40k gearbox.
-
Zetor- good basic soviet engineering! But then I would say that. Also zetors are heavy for their horsepower so good for loader work. Hydraulic lift on a 70hp zetor is 1600kg rear linkage so not the best but more than capable for your needs. Crap brakes are their downfall. But other than that my 30year old 7045 works hard and pulls well Expect to pay 5-6k for a 4wd job by with a loader, if your looking at older models. One like elfinwoods is a different kettle of fish as it has 4 wheel braking and wet brakes at that, and probably far better lifting capacity- but more like 12k.

Sure, scammers, but who are these people who part with large sums of money for a machine they haven't even seen. Madness

What steel for a custom splitter blade?
Matthew Storrs replied to Woodworks's topic in Firewood forum
Have you been down to steel tech in Tavy, they might having something suitable? -
I remember bein taken to the top of this massive Robinia when I was very new to climbing big stuff. My then boss, who was at the top with me looked at me as I was looking rather chuffed with myself being 60ft up perched on a limb. My legs were a little disco anyhow but he said ' matt, I don't want to panic you but your not actually tied in' Instantly I started trembling like a leaf , aware of how precarious my position now was. I don't think my hands have ever fumbled so much trying to reconnect by krabs.
