NI Tree

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.

ha they not bad at tyrebagger lol £8 for a 3' pine

get you self a copy of the silviculture of trees used in british forestry as it tell you what each tree likes

it just steve lol here is another of his hinge play he has posted it before lol [ame] [/ame]

i hope it passes by the thursday as i got a boat to catch home

that trailer is on super singles, they ok untill you go off the tarmac where they are terable for tracking the ground.

so true but not allways easy to find clean metal an a stock farm lol

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.

just phone them in NI there very helpfull but do not stock Ar CO2 mix but will get back to me

only 7 mph less that the uk highest ( same site i think)

ha you going to do every one out of a job

how much for the hydro cut max

none in aberdeen yet

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

but 500 will

grand fir has a high yeild class if the site is write but it can be to high for saw logs

well said steve "Treat others the way you want to be treated!" lol it was our only school rule apart from no Smoking or Gum and it worked as a rule

yes but a tractor is not green

you not to far from lockerbie and steve crofts and they use a lot of biomass. but a bigger digger would cost probaly the same due to a far higher work rate, and your are left free to do other work. it cost me the less to get a 13 tonne to do the ditches on our place than as use the 3cx.

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZoVul0Xx_oc]Stump Harvesting in Finland - YouTube[/ame] then they are used for boimass

not true cost to keep a horse a year is probaly about at the most on avarage £600 all in feed vets shoes exctra. the feed to stain a horse is mininal and the fuel to produce it hard feed is less then for yours per kg as you cook yours and it probaly been half way around the country and not from the farm next door (there food has less food miles). while the rest of there food has no food miles,

have you concidered stump and brash harvesting as it would provide you with a nother product that you could sell.

you have fogoten one important thing the energy to manufacture a machine is huge. a horse runs purelly on solar power in the form of biomas, so can be said to be carbon neutral and some of it,s emistions are useful, and alot less toxic as there is no benzene exctra. when it also comes to the end of there life of a machine you are left with a lot of harzords waste but a with an aminal they decompose nateral contiouning to eco system as alowing worms exctra to brake them down.

i think you can not applay for a felling lince for larch until they have fulshed in the spring due to P. ramorum but could be wrong

cool david have you got much to do in the way of addpating it to take the keto head on it ps is that a lorry mounted loader beside the mog
