  1. Has anyone used a silage grab on the loader to lift logs, obviously it wouldn't be much use on very large ones, but those 12"-15"?
  2. Rumours around that said farmer is now en EX tenant of NT.
  3. Moi aussi. Can't recommend it enough, not cheap but very well built, I am also doing 1m billets.
  4. Geogre Moonbat is a first class pot stirrer who will do/say anything to get readers attention. A lot of middle class socialites have had woodburners fitted in recent years because it salves their conscience about using a natural source of heat, if they actually use the bloody thing!!! I doubt they use it half a dozen times a year, then having it swept, decide it is better/cleaner using it as a room feature.
  5. I have been burning larch for over fifty years, best firewood you can get, first on an open fire then the last forty years in a woodburner. Yes I am an old codger!!!
  6. I'm looking for a new PTO saw bench and came across Gwaza, I've never heard of them before, are they a generic chinesium saw?
  7. Chap has been done for underage sheep-shagging.
  8. That is exactly what I'm after, some of the metre lengths are 600/700mm dia and are damned heavy to move around for this old codger.
  9. I am now splitting billets of around 1m lengths from sometimes big logs, some of them are b****y heavy. I would like to fix a cheap electric winch to the splitter to drag the lengths from the pile without putting this ageing back out. My question is, is it possible run the winch from a starter booster pack, or would it run down very quickly. Alternatively, could I make up a seven pin socket to plug into the tractors trailer socket? Would that have enough "juice?"
  10. You have obviously never owned a Leyland!! Brakes were an optional extra.
  11. Ah, I see now, there is a reduction gearbox. Costs almost as much as I got for the old Leyland!!
  12. Sorry I'm being thick, do you mean the saw's PTO shaft is connected directly to the engine, surely it should be indirect? Can you put up a photo/diagram?
  13. I'm afraid I don't have the skills to be able to do that.
