A hyd "beak" on the forks to allow you to selectively grip single logs? Ideally a grab/grapple on a 3-6 tonne excavator

Do no tracked excavator manufacturers supply "extend-a-hoe" dipper arms?. Per the comment I read in "Earthmovers" re Eddies new 8 tonne Kubota being tried with a longer dipper arm, I ud ave thought in combination with the 2-piece boom this would have been an ultra flexible/articulate set-up?

werry werry complicated, and light built forby. Can the doubtless capital investment in the machinery, and its ongoing maint costs, be recouped over its working life, compared to a simpler more manual set up running an extra, perhaps casual labourer? Anyway that Beech is simply ideal feedstock, try instead some thran knotty crooked Lodgepole Pine

I am taking delivery of a Farmers M8 next Tue, while purchasing the 390 saw from my local dealer.(substantially cheaper than Logosols offer price btw) To get me started, I thought the 25 year anni offer was "not unreasonable". I was very very tempted to go for the M8 with the 661 Stihl, but felt it was unjustified. I may even use the Logosol to cut timbers to build a shed to house the Baker bandsaw mill. I had also been promising myself a 2nd saw this while, and can run the same bar and 325 chain on both the 026 and the 390(when not on the mill)

After Glasgow's accident in the mouth of Christmas, this HAS to cause some soul-searching in respect of HGV operating in pedesterian crowded/urban areas. -
The Romans grew grapes in England (I think), the Thames froze solid in 16 something/17 something. There are numerous physical evidences of Ice Ages and inter-glacial periods. Giraffes in what is now the Sahara. The North African continent being the Roman Empires "Bread basket" WTF do we think we have the "right" to live in a prolonged period of benign weather/climate, while breeding like vermin and thereby stretching the Earths limited recources to exhaustion. And why do some insist on bleating on about distorted AGW "facts". Population Population Population. Endez!

As a gifted Joiner, now in his late seventies, and had started his career housebuilding, was in the habit of saying; "Hard work was never easy". That work looks to be proof of this adage. m -

Shelf life is NOT an issue. But anyway, despite knowing bought bread is "full" o preservatives, surely real bread should keep, dry out yes, but not "rot". Then breadcrumb it , make Croutons, or toast it? PS In wor house a smidgen of blue-mould is not unheard of. Best eaten with Blue cheese wot left the shop as Cheddar or perhaps Brie.

With a Panasonic Breadmaker. Wife bought hersel one a few weeks ago. it is simply stupendous the difference in "real" bread. The simplest meal becomes an absolute treat. Poached eggs on buttered bread, Cheese toasties , Soup (home made of course) with bread. Yada Yada Yada. This from someone who has been fed the best of Organic wholemeal from Sainsburys Supermarket. etc etc Mind 800g each loaf has 30 to 50 pence worth of flour alone in it (bought in the biggest bags too) Old Mr Montgomery who drove the bread cart when I were a nipper 45 years ago, said even then, of the "Pan" Loaf "This shite's not bread, its only stiffened water" He warnt wrong, even away back then. Cheers M

An the way them big golf ball sized knobbed colour coded diff-lock knobs slid into engagment "just so" as I powered up a short but very steep greasy slope. Sex on a stick Sur! Der "G" Wagen Van sulked most all the way home.:lol: m

And? There was an accident? I presume not, but why should we presume there should be? Having formed an opinion that most Polish workers who came to the UK, were competent in their choosen fields. PS About 1981 the MT Sergent asked who could drive an HGV, I said I could, he agreed and I did, including it must be said a spot of highway driving I had not anticipated. But by then I had gotten the hang of the rather sharp air brakes. Needless to say I did not actually have an HGV Licence. Albert, the MT Sergent, was properly apoplectic when I returned, quite safe and immoderatley pleased with myself. The pax in the back were not so impressed!

With this post I wholly agree. Erm:001_tt2: Ah tink hits "illiterate":lol::lol:

Same as the routine inspection of lift chains in forklifts. Inspector hmms and haws and condemms they on a yearly basis anyway, regardless of actual use or wear. Or a Council Food Safety inspector inspecting a freezer full of salmon after a power failure. The top-most salmon were still frozen solid enough to drive nails. Sucks teeth, looks thoughtful, then condemms them all anyway. "x" years of Uni training, why bother.

(i) It Looks like Poclain track motor turned into a winch. (ii) I can only imagine the third top mounted pipe is indeed a bleed off pipe. Connect the other two "paired" pipes to the spool connections and see what happens, it should obviously turn in either direction dependant on oil flow direction, place the open end of the presumed bleed off pipe in a 20 l jar just in case. Hmmm? Not perchance a hyd speed control function, acting on the swash plate angle, this should only need a single pipe, I imagine. but, if indeed it is, the motor should still work, at I am guessing, its slowest speed:confused1:

Quite quite wrong Steve, we are merely "born equal in the eyes of the Lord", (or whatever God you worship, or not) After that it is the result of both nature (genetic makeup) and nuture(education) We are emphatically all different, to a greater or lesser degree. Some are brighter. Some are better physically coordinated. Some are bother brighter and better coordinated. Some are very intellectual but physically uncoordinated. Some are unfortunately somewhere else on these spectra?(spectrums=spectra?) Have I mentioned Kruger and Dunning recently? regards, Marcus

Exactly!! Will "the organisation" listen to such reasonable arguments. Answer NO! they rather spend others tax dollars on "laying-off" the risk on an outside organization, as opposed to making safe reasoned pragmatic decisions themselves. That would imply they were actually responsible for goodness sake.
