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"?

Rumours around that said farmer is now en EX tenant of NT.

Log splitter help please

Moi aussi. Can't recommend it enough, not cheap but very well built, I am also doing 1m billets. -
Environmental impact of woodburning
Cosmiccrofter replied to Smurnov's topic in Log burning stoves and fireplaces
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. -
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!!!

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?
-
Chap has been done for underage sheep-shagging.

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.
-
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?"

Some photos?
-
You have obviously never owned a Leyland!! Brakes were an optional extra.
-
Ah, I see now, there is a reduction gearbox. Costs almost as much as I got for the old Leyland!!
-
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?
-
I'm afraid I don't have the skills to be able to do that.
-
I've just got rid of an old Leyland which sat outside as I've no shed space for it, it'd be much easier to find space for a petrol saw. Electric might be an option. I should have said the PTO shaft was too short, not small.
-
That tractor is used for other jobs, plus it would mean mean no hitching/unhitching the saw, I'm getting lazy in my dotage. The PTO shaft is also too small for the other tractor. So it's safe to assume that I should be looking at either a new or S/H well known make of saw.

The stand/net in is in exactly the same position with regards to the camera.

I'm looking for a petrol powered bench saw to cut billets, I want get rid of my tractor powered one, and came across this: NEW Petrol Log Saw 13HP WWW.HARTNETT-PRODUCTS.IE NEW Petrol Log Saws for sale from Hartnett Products. Never has there been a safer and more efficient way to cut lengths of... Has anyone bought/used one that can comment?
-
Photoshopped. Never seen the moon with a vertical orbit.

I've bought the AMR with it's own PTO pump, the 35 handles it well. I have even tried billeting the logs, I don't know if it involves more work than blocking and splitting right away, any one able to comment?
-
I can't say I ever experienced any problems with knotty blocks, the only problems I found was the block sometimes flipped if you didn't present it to the screw properly, otherwise a great splitter for a small tractor like a TEF.
-
I don't want a petrol powered or power pack because I already have a power pack, the 35. I used to have a Hycrack but it's slower than a hydraulic, although very useful on an old Fergie. I've gone with the AMR, but will get a table built for it, I know they are now banned from being sold by manufacturers, but they are great for working at waist height. Thanks for all the replies.
-
Which model do you have?
-
I've been told, whether true or not, that a small pertrol engine won't produce the speed of a tractor powered pump, although I stand to be corrected.
