I have ruefully concluded that the $$$ price for any item for sale in the USofA, simply becomes £££ when sold in the UK. I.e. the numbers stay the same, simply change the currency symbol in front. So much simpler than any messing with complicated FX rates. m

pjoter, I am also in the notion of buying a bandsaw. I was also possibly considering the Logosol HD36, though as a lazy bugger I want some basic hydraulics. I understand the HD36 drives the hydraulic pump electrically, which seems to be an unnecessarily complicated set-up, though no doubt easier to "engineer". I would rather have a direct coupled or belt driven hydraulic pump. Less to go wrong. Other than that the "chassis" on the HD36 does seem to be soundly engineered. I did however not be impressed by the smaller (29 model) Logosol bandsaw offering, down at the Forestry show in May. It appeared to be very flimsy made up, in my preception. Regards, Marcus It is also frustrating that it is not possible to price the various hyd options, for the HD36, from a list of published prices.(which dont be published)

I would say that it is nice to have sommat warm and furry to pet in bed, that dos'nt garble when petted. Cept the wife generally purrs:thumbup: However having expereinced a cold wet Donky sized Mastiff nose sniffing my nether regions whilst otherwise occupied. Can be a trifle disconcerting:thumbdown:

I believe it was the Navaho (prob mishspeled) who excelled at skyscraper construction. Regarding this being an evolved trait, possibly, as some of the native American tribes were cliff dwellers, for community safety. Therefore it should have been an evolutationary selective way of life.

We have a resident JR hot-water bottle, plus 2 half-bred Daschunds, one of which sleeps curled round the top of the wifes head. Plus a 50kg Rotty/black Lab cross, who likes to sleep in the bed , but is not always welcome! Will see if I have photos.

hours of use by difference in fuel consumption (over say 3 to 5 years) compared to, I suspect, a sizable difference in capital cost. Kubotas are wonderful diesels. Kohler are equally wonderful torqey petrols, and def lighter, and air cooled. Could/should you not get a days trial of both machines and access the actual fuel consumption?

I understood it to be "cleft", cleaved-d-d-d, being kinda hard to rattle off the tongue.

What do you get for your mother-in-law at Xmas?

Jeekers hi gentlemen. A happy daughter. Obviously. -
Mowi and Palms trailers, Any good?
difflock replied to stanleyplantandforestry's topic in Large equipment
I could name a man in the trade selling forestry/firewood relatedproducts who rated the Mowi very highly. At that time, and indeed since, he was not involved with selling or promoting Mowi, but reckoned if he was spending his own cash it would be on a Mowi. Sommat to do with the geometery allowing one to bring in over heavy logs by dragging horizontally, without having to constantly juggle with boom and dipper arm valves simulteanously. Due to their particiular somewhat peculier looking dipper arm ram positioning. m -
My mother (in her eighties now) was recalling the wee girl, who for her first day at the Primary School, had been drilled by re mother to recite; " My name is Matilda, but I get Tilly for short" When asked by the teacher to introduce herself to her new classmates, she blurted out. "My name is Tilly-Matilda-for-short" She was henceforth always referred to as "Tilly-Matilda-for-short" Which wasn't. really

Alycidon, see link for Tempest cheers m

did that link work?, Yes it did! This was the technique I liked, splitting the large ring down, into managable chunks, one slice at a time, without ever having to lift it, or the unsplit bits "escaping" I cannot fault the operation, except to presume the splitter ram is foot controlled? Which I understand is a no-no for ce marking.
-
Multitek Inc The "Tempest" splitter Though if I recall the one at the show was tractor PTO powered. I remember the 2 "out trays" which were feeding into Jumbo bags. Quite how it would fare in respect of CE marking is probably probmatical!

The best iteration I have yet seen for a horizontal splitter was at the last APf. An American built machine, with a single pusher plate centrally mounted, feeding 2 different splitter blade set-ups, 1 at each end. 1 had a horizontal blade mounted about 150mm above the base, this split large rings down into smaller chunks which could then be furthur reduced by the blade set up at the other end. Very very slick in operation, breaking down mixed size rings or blocks. And no lifting. stuff fell off the ends into bulk bags. marcus

A motto from our student days. "Avoid hangovers, stay drunk!" I did start to worry a little the first time the "hair of the dog" worked, on a Sunday afternoon after starting drinking about Friday lunchtime. Feeling more than a trifle jaded, I absently chugged down a can of cheap nonedescritpt Eurolarger that someone thrust into my hand. And immediately started to feel better. I had the sense to realize that this was not exactly a good sign.

I was considering buying the one, or one of the 2 types, advertised in the Daily Telegraph of a Saturday. £40.00/£45.00 ish if I recall.

That is tough, we, with an mix of rescue dogs have had the same issue(s). Anything with Staffie or Mastiff blood in, would rather die than submit (in our experience) btw Two lovely looking happy relaxed animials Regards MARCUS

Very tidy looking set-up, but as per someone above, how are you intending to load/unload the welfare unit, chip box etc. A retro-chic iron wheeled Gypsy Caravan welfare unit perhaps ? Or does the crane have sufficient reach and capacity? Neat idea the pins for log carrying though. Regardless it "looks" just right. marcus

Struggling for Xmas Present ? Get Him or her a Jetboil

Which of "those"? -
A nice image. Personally I see the use of this image in the context of posting on this Forum. As a form of free advertising for the copyright holder. Different if it were being used on a Calender, or to promote some manufacturers climbing gear say. But to simply put it on display, in a format that does not allow high resolution copying or reproduction. Hardly an issue surely? Marcus
