The Firewood Guys

Thanks for the advice everyone, thing is the battery is only 2 years old and only been charged say 10 times, just dont want this to keep happening hence why i posted this thread.

My problem is is that the battery on the trailer is had it, someone told me about this lead idea which comes straight from the vehicle battery with an in line switch and fuse,this would save me replacing the battery and save having to keep charging it up just wondered if anyone on here has done it.

Hi all, Has anyone got an ifor tipper powered by an Anderson lead from the towing vehicle ? Just that i want to convert mine to a lead from truck and wondered if it causes any problems or is it better to stay with the trailers own battery ??

Cheers for that mate, big help.. re-wired now.. lets hope that does the trick!

Also the thick red one, seems to have come astray, but not sure which one that goes into at one end either!

Don't suppose anyone can help, got a tipping fault and trying to investigate the problem. Have take the yellow box apart (from the remote tipping lead) and there looks like a brown live wire has come loose maybe. Wonder if anyone could tell us where it goes! It might be easier to take a photo of the wiring if anyone has five mins to spare, would be very grateful. Cheers David

APF ? brilliant as always, was looking at horizontal splitters in particular the one on wheels on the hillside from Ryetec 22t splitting force pto driven will take decent lengths of timber, question is would it split max lengths of say 2ft in diameter, Your thoughts please ????

As above where can i obtain genuine blades other than main dealer ?

I would beef up the end where the splitter knife is, i had a single knife built on an I beam and the ram force started to twist the beam at the knife,dont think you can over engineer a log splitter.

I have a Posch 280 processor which i hire out with operator, pm me for further details.

Bought my 280 in 2008, cracking machine,well built done 100,s tonnes since, only replaced the infeed belt as yet,output on a good day with straightish timber is app 10 tonnes with log deck .

Yes i would say it will dry ok if you put york boarding up around the sides like you said,I would try to process your timber part seasoned and not rain wet either this along with good through ventilation should make good storage conditions.

ive got a 280 bought new 3 years ago fantastic bit of kit well built easy to use and with the home made log deck i have it works well,If i was to change processor i would buy a posch any day.

Mines still waiting to be installed so wont get any heat out her yet !!!!!!!!

Thanks for that, i went 2 years ago but missed last year, thats me off then!!!!!
