everything of mine has its set place to be put, its called 'the bench' and 'the floor' tried keeping things tidy but it never lasts long...

stihl 090 contra lightning... am restoring one at the moment (cosmetic only, runs like new) favourite milling saw : 056 super av...
-
nothing compared to the first one.... although worth watching for jessica biel:thumbup::thumbup:
-
they are mature cattle, theyre in an adjacent field at the moment. i just cant see the point in a single strand of wire.... cows are rather thick skinned anyway so a good lean or two and theyd be through it...
-
i cant see the point in the single strand of barbed wire, the fencing contractors did it to the spec given from burnham beeches (a couple of miles down the road) apparently its for environmental reasons??? keeps stock in but lets wildlife roam, the field will have some of the english white cattle in from burnham beeches

as long as ive still got logs in my store ill find some way of getting them out to customers... the 135 is a great little machine, only had it 10 months now. will have to start a new thread with the pic of what it looked like when i got it and the restoration...
-
thank you for the possitive comments... the top is fixe to the legs with 2 1/2 inch angle iron bolted with 3 inch coach bolts, vey simple but it works well, i have done dozens this way with no problems...
-
hope you dont mind me piggybacking on this thread but i thought it was the most appropriate without starting a new one.... my truck decided to die on me yesterday so i had to resort to this to get my log orders out to cutomers today.... it works out about the same as a small load off the tipper, (270-300 logs). glad i didnt have to go too far as it was getting rather chilly after the 4th delivery..
-
Been asked to make and install a 'rustic' bench for a local council, just thought id share it with you lot... VERY heavy!!! the legs are actually about 4 1/2 foot long and set in the ground to prevent any accidents as its in a public place...
-
easy enough to fit, and it just so happens ive got 3 different ones on a pallet in the back shed...
-
its a 7.5 truck i bought it for and its far too big. of its worth a bit then i might sell it if not ill keep it to mount on the 12 ton hitachi for sorting and stacking...
-
have been after a timber grab for a while now, bit daft as my lorry has no body or crane on it yet..... but they allways go silly money. i got this one last week from a freind of mine without viewing it first and it is considerably larger than i was expecting... so basically id just like to get an idea of value to see whether its woth keeping or shifting on....
-
Took the trailer on its first trial run yesterday, success, it performs well.... got some small lengths on it in the morning and had it with me while milling a big beech to put the off cuts on...
-
will do, it'll be out with me tomorrow milling a large beech with the alaskan in h=the middle of the wood, and a load of small cord in the afternoon...
-
Yes 2" box section, actually came from the frame of a small lean-to that i dismantled last week, and the axles were £10 each from the scrap yard down the road, i think the most expensive thing here was the paint!!!
-
cheers for the possitive replies, was expecting some nit-picking types telling me its too low and wont get far in the woods with those fixed axles... the space on the draw bar is for an ammo box to be bolted down, the trailer is only really for timber small enough to hand ball on.... have a larger tractor coming and planning on building a larger trailer for that, going to convert an old scammell 6 ton trailer (picking up 7 of them next week) and yes that is a little screener behind, the right size for a barrow beneath it. scheppach 400 (i think), not mine the owner wants me to mount a mixer engine on it so its a bit more portable....
-
hi all, just thought id share this, spent part of the day in the workshop building myself a small trailer for my small tractor. been finding it impossible to find something the right size either far too big or ther atv ones seem a bit too small (and expensive) so i made one, bit low to the ground but itll do for the little use i need of it.... and please excuse the mess in the workshop, will have to get round to that at some point
-
if its not been spoken for allready i im able to collect it either today(friday) or saturday... ben
-
i use an old 056av with my mill, will run 36" all day with no problems and not too difficult or expensive to find a good one.... plenty of torque there too, have got an 880 + 660 but the 056 is my preferred choice
-
I found my ladder resting up against a BT pole, but i dont think the engineer up the top was very happy...
-
hi, what type of wood are you after?
-
Hi, Ive recently dropped a rather large ash, and was wondering if its worth milling or not... if not it'll be rung up and logged, theres 3 sections of trunk from 40" to 28" diameter the larger sections are about 10-12 foot nice and straight, the narrower section is a bit knotty so it may reveal some nice "feature wood". only thing is i only have a 36" alaskan to play with, if its decided that its better planked ill have to buy a set of 48" rails for my 880...

My babies... True pair of Chubb sidelocks

and one to make you laugh (or cry)... while i was out baling and loading 2 years ago, my mate was in the fendt and i was in the manitou. tracto r was 2 months old.... just shy of 110grand up in flames.... (not mine by the way)
-
did the job till my landy was back on the road... god job i didnt have to tackle any hills like that, tyres felt a littl hot when i got a mile up the road...
