Whats the compromise with remapping or chipping a truck?
spuddog0507 replied to Woodworks's topic in Arb-Trucks
Good things and bad things about this, a guy I shoot with got a new ranger 65 plate (sure he said it was about 210bhp as standard ? Tell me if I am wrong ) after about 4 months Ben being ben had it re mapped to about 255bhp 6 WK later it through a con rod nearly destroyed the engine totally took it back to ford, they new what had been done and when so they said the warranty was void, £5400 for repair all to get a extra 5 mpg , he wasn't right happy when I said £5400 would buy an awful lot of diesel. -
Yes so two up here in lancs on Friday but could of seen them on Tues but thought I was seeing things ? Age to blame.
-
Yes check by all means and changing it would not hurt: many Years ago a old bloke I worked with quoted to me one day,,oil is cheap mechanical parts aren't.
-
Nice one, he didn't look very happy,even thou he won.!.

ChasW originally says 30 cube from a clear fell, fresh felled birch is 1.07 cube per tonne stacked in the round, your cube is cut n split logs which 50% of is fresh air so your timber is costing £50 tonne delivered in which you then cut n split which is where you get your £25 cube delivered big difference between a cube of timber stacked at roadside in lengths in a forest to a cube of 10" split logs either in my yard or yours.

AND WHAT ? £30 a cube or tonne is very very cheap to hardwood delivered in we currently getting £32.50 for softwood chip roadside.! What's the difference on a MTR cube & a tonne of same said birch ?

£30 a tonne delivered for processor sized logs ,em, I was getting £35 a tonne for larch at roadside 2 yr ago ,£30 a tonne delivered I think you better get me a couple hundred tonne please.

Hi, I take it the 80-100 quid is for cut split seasoned logs ready to burn ? Roadside price from £37-47 per tonne depending on quality .

Best/toughest way of lining a tipping trailer
spuddog0507 replied to Matthew Storrs's topic in Large equipment
I totally agree with the above the trailer is there to be used if you put stock board in with rocks like that you will proberbly create more of a problem , steel is cheap for what it goes through and lasts along time. -
Sorry about this but you asked, as said before groundie no helmet ear protection or gloves 4/5 people including guy holding rope not a helmet in sight(may have been one on ground near guy with rope) you say it was on a building site? Who was running the job ? As there is something else that stands out to me besides helmets gloves and ear protection there is no hi viz vestsor jackets on site! The guy on the rope has a white husky t shirt on that's cool but not worth a sh t if he gets hit, you need to pay not a bit but a lot more attention to your guys ppe helmets gloves ear muffs and hi viz are not expensive and its up to you to make sure it is worn, if I catch my lads with out it I tell them get it on and keep it on till you leave site I give em all 3 verbal then tell em if you don't want to wear ppe look for another job.

I do watch TOTP every week on series link and yes there was some rubbish and plenty of it , Kim wild had several top 10 hits some OK but she was the dream of many young lads in 80s she still tours today doing 80s revival gigs.

Dog tooth cut comes to mind which you should of done on your cs 30/31 ? If it had of hit you it would of hurt ! There has just been a bloke killed in the scotish borders with same thing flung him about 20 mtrs through the air against another tree tho, so it pays to learn your cuts and pay attention to what ur doing, but we all cut corners to save a bit of time and it don't always pay, stay safe.

Hi went to a woodland management show / exhibition last Saturday got talking to 2 guys and stump grinders on diggers came up , one guy had worked in new Zealand on eucalyptus plantations 25 tonne digger didn't have enough oil flow for a stump grinding head so he ended up Puting a 340hp cat engine with pumps and a 80 gallon oil tank a 2 oil coolers on the ballast weight, he said it would work of digger hydraulics but at only about 25% of what it would do of auxiliary engine .

Hi I have bothe stihl and husquavarna tongs small stihl ones and the bigger (28cm) I think husky ones these big ones I would not be with out they save so much back bending and when timber is wet they still get hold pick rounds up and drag lengths about just a e,tension to your arm but with a better grip.
