I’ve stalled a 35 horsepower tractor with a branch logger. Not a slow stall along a long branch but stopped absolutely dead as a thick butt went in. I was amazed nothing broke, by design or otherwise.

What bars do the chainsaws made by companies like Makita, Dewalt, Milwaukee (companies best known for tools other than chainsaws) use?

What works for me splitting firewood is not putting it on a block. I wade about a pile of rounds, kicking bits upright with my foot or just hitting them sideways. Way more efficient for me. Less bending, less handling. Possibly unnecessary for you though. If you're man enough to do 30 tonnes a year with a maul, I assume a lot of it just falls apart at the sight of you.

Oh for god's sake. Grow something if you want some habitat. Driving brash bales tens/hundreds of miles so someone can look eco-friendly is bullshit.

Recommendations for a Solar kit for a workshop
AHPP replied to The avantgardener's topic in General chat
Anecdotally, I'd say that chart is best considered in relation to a system under a moderate load (for the size of the battery). If my battery was reading 11.9v under no load, I'd be worried. I turn things off when the bank hits 12.3v. I'm cautious because my bank is a bit weak though. I'd probably go as low as 12.0v when loaded with a better one. -

Keep batteries warm too. Makes a big difference. -
Crikey. I got £550/t for batteries only six or so months ago.

The best advice you're likely to get here is that you should consult a professional. The second best is likely to come from Inoff the Red. Something I'm vaguely aware of that sounds like it could work would be to use a SIPP to pay for the commercial aspect of it and deal with the residential side once you've got the saving of free yardspace in hand.

A school. They're pretty small and come ganged up to 96v in enclosures that form part of an uninterruptible power supply for a computer server. They bin them every two years to make sure the backup power system is always tip top. I imagine other organisations with lots of computers do similar. Because they're small, I had to do a lot of wiring to parallel them (I'm running at 12v), which was fiddly and expensive but works. -

Absolutely this. Remove them or leave them. Fuck this regulatory nonsense. Let some other cunt play that game.

Whose land? Whose tree?

Your bloke sounds like a pain in the arse but do bear in mind you posted a video a while ago of you calling your labourer a wanker or something. You're probably not cultivating an atmosphere of professionalism.

Zigzag with Chicane or Rope Wrench Hitch System
AHPP replied to tree_stooge's topic in SRT (Single Rope Technique)
Rope wrenches are midline attachable. Mine is anyway. -
Not an expert but that looks like absolutely superb quality timber.

Felling of 15 trees with awkward access in Devon
AHPP replied to sidekickdmr's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
Probably low but post photos and you never know what value someone might see in them. Thinking of alternative solutions, some might say you’ve got 13 acres to store the logs. Slam it down, burn the brash if you can be bothered and see if you can live long enough for the trees to rot before you do. It’ll be like a game. -
Disappointed with all the touchy feely bollocks about a new era of thoughtful democracy. I hope someone makes a sequel about six months into the future. Tyrion will have syphilis, the women will be back to being scared and pregnant and the blokes will have parked Bran on a beach at low tide and started a war.

Man plans, god laughs.

Fuck getting a sofa in there.

That's because phone use is illegal. They were texting on their lap so nobody saw the phone. If they just held the thing to their ear, they could keep looking at the road.

Engineering solution for wall, being pushed over by tree.
AHPP replied to benedmonds's topic in General chat
Thanks,@Mark J and@Gary Prentice. I’ll have a look on the laptop later. I assume these methods of ascribing a monetary value to trees are what the courts use when someone’s suing someone for harming/stealing/converting/etc a tree? -

Tell me more. I was speaking from an entirely lay perspective. I've never done any of the paperwork for trees. I just take chainsaws to them. -

Fell it. Some engineer driving to his office, then to the site, then back to his office, making and transporting the extra wall materials, builders driving back and forth rebuilding it however many times; all unnecessary financial and environmental cost.
