  1. you could just keep a banger of a van with no signs on it just for these jobs so no one knows it you
  2. -2 here all ready in aberdeen aboyne (30 minutes away)was -10.5 last night it -4 now there
  3. i would recomend 5 gallon pans they are brillent for soup. freeze the excess soup in plastic bag on a tray till the soup is frosen. it does work
  4. it bloody good fun smoking out rats
  5. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yy0B7M03U-E&feature=related]Truck Driving With Serious Skill - YouTube[/ame]
  6. cats are good nabroughs still run a 910 it about 26 years old and used every day it has 15000h we looked at new shovel but keept it as is still good and nice to drive
  7. you will find that you will want to use the telehandler to handle the logs and the saw bench will get in the way and you do not need a pto for the spliter unless it a screw one. it will be cheeper to buy a old tractor and a telehandler, as you got more choose of handlers.
  8. use charity shops
  9. do not be a cheapskate when it comes to looking after machinery, put time in to keeping it clean, and make a point of doing it, and make all the lads make shore they leave them clean at the end of the day. eg brush the cab out, it means that you can keep an eye on the gear and they have to show respect to it as if they do not it means they have to do more cleaning exctra. but also cheek the been greasing them exctra as well. it means you can also inspect the gear with out getting very ditty. a stich in time save nine,
  10. yup and i hope it not to bad as i got to catch a boat home at 10.30 am so might just miss it
  11. i would speek a good indrustal election as i could easly be wrong but if you can go down the road of a mains transformer in steed of a genny i would but you know you situation
  12. where are they putting them, i take it there going on the ground, or are they puting up a building first
  13. Mike well said. i agree 3 Phase is far better, single phase motors price are pricey, and you do not get capacitors packing up when your milking. had that a couple of times. never knew why they were single phase any way. but if i was you are you going to be using the saw bench in one place and have 3 phase close by i would recomend going for a transformer (mains) it will be more expenisive but you have pice of mind and you can pick up 3 phase tools far cheeper second hand and 3 phase motors are cheeper to. as a 5.5hp motor would require a 20+ kVA generator dur to peak current requird on start up but this can be reduced by using soft start to the about 6 KVA and soft start also reduces tranminsion stress on start up. (dont trust my caculation as they could easly be wrong) The 230V one with 3 HP would be handier if you are moving from place but as 240 is more common but it would require a 16A suplly witch is less common. so the first 2 gens should do the job, but the lasti think might work but would need soft start. i hope it all croccret.
  14. ha they not bad at tyrebagger lol £8 for a 3' pine
  15. get you self a copy of the silviculture of trees used in british forestry as it tell you what each tree likes
  16. it just steve lol here is another of his hinge play he has posted it before lol [ame] [/ame]
  17. i hope it passes by the thursday as i got a boat to catch home
  18. that trailer is on super singles, they ok untill you go off the tarmac where they are terable for tracking the ground.
  19. so true but not allways easy to find clean metal an a stock farm lol
  20. an arc (stick) welder is good for dirty metal as the flux removes the dirt, and and its cheeper to buy an arc, as well. you do not get problems with the wire rusting and the need for gas though you can get flux wire for a mig though i have neaver tryed it. i use both all the time but love the mig though it not easy to move around. i would recomend a automitic welding mask but they are not cheep.
  21. just phone them in NI there very helpfull but do not stock Ar CO2 mix but will get back to me
  22. only 7 mph less that the uk highest ( same site i think)
  23. ha you going to do every one out of a job
  24. none in aberdeen yet
  25. have you conciderd usind bale trailer as it would be faily well balacned and use load binders to scure. The only problem would be tail swing but only 15' would be over hanging. i think a timber lorry would strugle and the bolsters would get in the way
