    "Ripur" or whatever the brand was ; Now £18.00 in the clearance section of the site linked to earlier. PS Liked the barbed wire tug of war as a proper test for gloves.

    Liepzig only bes a relatively short drive away. Mind the "Winter" 1200kg towable varient not got the 600mm band wheels on the static Polish one. But it do got a Robin/Subaru/Honda petrol motor, wot ud be the clincher for me. see WINTER mobile Blockbandsäge ZBL-P50H - CNC machines, machines winter, sawing, planing, milling, drilling, combined, Tools, Used Machinery Senior managment also speaks German.

    Not to disparage traditional blacksmiths. But surely with present cutting edge metal understanding/tool steels/technology. It should be entirely practical to CNC mill an Ax to bespoke diminsions. Especially easy to scan a favourite old Axe/billhook/handtool and simply "clone" an even better replacment. Bang out a few subtly different prototypes in mild steel to try the "heft" perhaps. And with the prices currently being paid for genunine "hand-made" tools. Entirely profitable for an astute business person.

    SEE Blockbandsäge Bandsäge Sägewerk TTP-600 Mobile Full Version | eBay Now, should I be larning Polish or Deutsch:001_rolleyes: To explore the European bandsawmill manufacturers. PS I presume Euro 3Ph is same as British 3Ph An can I drive thissun offen a PTO powered 3pg genny. Of course to be foolproof I should buy my PTO Genny offfen euro-ebay same as the Mill:lol: PPS £/Euro exchange at 1.2 off + 20% VAT back on make the sums wile simple

    I would love a hydrostatic drive 3720 JD c/w JD Loader. On fat radials, it should be absolutly unstoppable. If our work owned one running on turf tyres is any indicator. Yes bound to be expensive but a quart in a pint pot and phenomanally nimble. regards marcus

    (i) I noted the high stumps (ii) Concluded it was "stunt felling" for the camera. PS Was he using the chain brake>, if he was I did not notice. Still reckon he was moderately handy with a saw. Between ages 20 and 30, in the same circumstances, that could/would have been I. Absolutly! For sure.

    cough cough Was (very idly, admittedly) pondering the wisdom of buying Cookssaw 30" band wheel set, an falling to with the buzz-box welder and a wheen o girders. T0 construct a bandsawmill in-situ. Running on railway track, set on concrete sleepers for added stability. Realistically would also require to price in a large 3ph genny and a 25kva 3ph motor to drive the headworks. Though a tractor PTO genny would suffice. regards, marcus

    Spoke to Matt yesterday morning. The WW is not yet ce certified, (I did not ask about the big-un) Matt is considering bring a couple of the Weekend Warrior models in prior to "CE" certification if anyone is interested. m

    Well spotted:biggrin: I was asking for a "competitive" :001_rolleyes:price for strimmers and blowers. An thought to "stir the pot" when I noted the name of the person who replied. Quite impressed with his ready response.
  14. difflock
    I dread to think of the wear points, greasing and maintenance issues. Conceptually sound though.

    Jon, No, absolutly not. But asked someone(called Alan) about the 660/661 faux pas, this morning, He is going to Germany next week specifically to visit Stihl (being an member of the family who import Stihl to Northern Ireland) The 660/661 debacle was already on his agenda because I (and others) had been pestering their N Ireland dealer network.. regards, Marcus

    Hi Marcus I am at Stihl HQ in Germany next week. The MS661 delivery issue is on my agenda. Regards Alan Above is Copied an pasted from an email I got earlier today, when i asked about the 660/661 "faux-pas" :thumbup: thinking of you Jon!
  17. difflock
    100% sound advice:thumbup:

    How does gravity:001_rolleyes: affect the starting current of a motor, 3ph or otherwise. Puzzled.
  19. difflock
    surely better safer to reverse down keeping the jib/boom/crane uphill to improve the COG/Weight distribution. Could also then have dropped and dragged it as a brake? m

    My nearest miss was after I had just failed to win the Universal crawler (an absolutly genuine item and auction) My Yahoo email account was hacked, and I got a very very very clever professionally written contact apparently from ebay, in respect of their "second chance" scheme. Did I still wish to honour my bid as the top bidder had pulled out. I was suspicious and asked a very experienced ebay buyer to vet the offer. Clive assured me it was absolutly genunine. I asked a couple of pertinent questions and smelt a rat. Contacted ebay. Who were "all over" it very promptly. The key lay in me spotting they did not wish to use paypal. Marcus I then bought the Fiat crawler sight unseen from an ebay contact I knew knowt about and paid by bank transfer. Prior to delivery. Because my gut instinct was it was genunine. Fortunatly it was phew.

    Ouch:001_rolleyes: You called:lol: As mentioned before being a "Prefectionist" is not always for the best. Marcus PS I am still looking for the perfect car, the performance of a Porsche, the space of a Transit, the running costs of a Fabia, and invisible to Gatso's:thumbup: Any suggestions.
