  1. That's some belt sander you have.
  2. The only problem with direct dive on flywheel shaft is you only got 540rpm or 1000rpm which may not be fast enough.
  3. I would sit it below and then belts would be the weak link you will need a means of keep the tension in them.
  4. You need a piece of shaft like this but longer some bearing pulleys the right size and some fabrication Splined Shaft 250mm overall 1 3 4 6 Spline
  5. Did you just lift it out. Did some many years ago with a Bedford timber crane by lifting rather than pulling came out with all small roots as well.
  6. [quote name=Mark Bolam WoodyPaul I kind of get where you're coming from with 8 cuts' date=' but I guarantee that tree is bigger than it looks and you'd muller the garden. I've cut whole pollard heads off in the past on willows with mixed results. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk Was joking Mark. The tree in question has been done many times before by the look of it, so as It's been done some how just work out how and do it the same way. I know a couple of odd job gardener that work around my area how would just get a ladder and pruning saw and just re pollard it.
  7. Terrasaur blades are not cheap and horrible to use for a long time.
  8. From the look of it stand at lower pollard height and cut it about 4 foot up 8 cuts job done.
  9. That Schliesing is a good chipper but heavy. There's an agri dealer near me got a timberwolf 150 which is just a lot lighter but you would be nearer the min horse power required on both machines.
  10. Do the job at night when there out and about digging up grass lawns and crapping every were.
  11. Evolution rage circular saw is your best bet The Evolution RAGE230 Multipurpose 230mm Circular Saw
  12. Are you after boards or do you want a lump cut up.
  13. Had the things going off for the last 4 nights near me but my dog could not give toss about them just sits there watching them, my brother old Labrador was gun shy but not firework shy. Maybe best to let them see where the noise comes from.
  14. £6.99 a bag 10kg in a bag. https://www.logsdirect.co.uk/brackettes.html
  15. Wonder what one log costs to produce.
  16. That's a good lump of oak it's lifting.
  17. To right guarding will not stop everything. My old boss had a fordson major with just a thick plate of steel on the front and that thing would drive through most stuff.
  18. Army barbed wire cutter also know as frog leg wire cutters.
  19. This afternoons job silverbirch felled and large laurels reduced, 200m to drag brash up hill:thumbdown: Customer dragged brash with mower and dolly
  20. Out of intrest what make of tractor have you got.
  21. Ash will last a fair time as weather boarding if you paint some type of treatment on it.
  22. It weighs 27.5 kg according to paper work which came with it. It very handy Steve but not cheap but it is the best type of ladder for the work I do in a day as I have only used one like it for the last 10 years and its the only ladder I take on site.
  23. No it's not light weight, but you can not have strength and durability with out a bit of weight.
  24. New log splitter turned up last week, 23T RIKO manage to get it on tractor today and give it a try very impressed. Bought it to break down big timber
  25. Took a Makita breaker to be repaired as it stopped running, no good knackered dealer said and gave it back in bits in a box. Had a word with someone in my village how said he would test motor, armersher fault so I fitted new one think it was about £35 cheaper than £700+ for new one.
