whats all this battery crap got to do with the budget ??????
-
there you go then , LR weight 3050kg, acording to the wise nerds that work things out the recomended max wieght for towing...80%......2440 kg, why then does LR shove another 1000kg onto this figure

Stage V Non-road engine diesel emissions
agrimog replied to kevinjohnsonmbe's topic in Business Management
and how much nox do you think an unleaded petrol engine emits......one of the reasons no 4 gas test........ the biggest problem with diesel is smart arses trying to blame them for every air polution problem, by screwing about with what they're allowed to emit as exhaust the "experts" have managed to take a design that was hard working, very long lifed, produced very little noxious emissions(if kept properly maintained and tuned) now with egr, ad blue, and dpf and cats, they are efectivly killing the engines, and with the new generation of bio fuels, none of these are needed because the base material isnt a hydrocarbon so a little h2o and some co2 and minor particulates are all that comes out. and as for the move to electric, your just moving the problem to the end of a wire.. -
another way to look at the farse that is LR tow limits.......most jap 4x4 pickups wiegh a lot motre than a LR, but are limited to 2, 2.5, or 3 ton, but why can an underwieght LR pull 3.5........paperwork, the big companies actually do think about safety, LR think about sales, especially after loosing there us market over safety issues and on the agri side, there are actually some strict rules in place concerning what, and who, can tow what, its just that you never hear much about any prosecutions cos they just arent major news
-
why are tractors allowed such heavy trailers......easy, they are restricted to 25mph, and must have sutible brakes to cope with the load. and as for pulling 3.5t loads with a land rover.....wouldnt do it , ever, the military downrate them for a reason. the only reason they have the magic 3.5t towing is so they can sell more of them (harks back to the LR stonefield fiasco of the past, and how many MP's had money invested in LR at the time)

Stage V Non-road engine diesel emissions
agrimog replied to kevinjohnsonmbe's topic in Business Management
everyone seems to be jumping on the "lets blame dirty diesels" bandwagon, have you all forgotten about the developments in bio-diesel production, and the fact that the newer stuff has no hydrocarbon emmisions at all, and is very close to total combustion, certain european car builders are realising figures that will blow the doubters out of the water............and why after all this time has no-ne ever questioned why the great rush to introduce the 4 gas test into MOT's for petrol engines was quickly dropped after the introduction of unleaded fuel....could it be the fact that the proposed levels could never be met with the technology as it was -
I run an 18" lo pro bar when Im milling 10"-12" larch for cabins, its fast..........very fast , and on the logosol balance doesnt matter

tefc motor, std nvr starter switch, if the motors getting slow on starting, the capacitor is on its way out, your next fault will be not starting at all and the motor vibrating as it slowly burns out, the start capacitor causes a small "phase shift" between the windings and creates a rotating magnetic field, which is what causes the motor to spin........this happens naturally in 3 phase, but needs capacitor assistance in single phase

you can carry anything you like in your first aid kit.......the secrets in te description...your and treat yourself to an EFAW+F course

depends a lot on what your going to use the crane for.......purely timber work, a farmi 4.8m will fit well, for mixed use, a hiab, or atlas will go in behind the cab, but your reach will not be the same as a timber crane without a few extensions, and depending on how you choose to power it (onboard mog pump or external pto pump) will affect your lift, most hiab type cranes seem to run around the 300 bar, whearas timber ones,around the 180-200 bar, the mog runs at 200 bar, I know on mine this affects my total lift, the crane is down approx 30% on power running off the mog system(an atlas crane) and this has led tome getting a farmi on a tpl setup, with a seperate pump (fits front or rear with a little jiggery pokery ) and the extra reach is so handy
-
and how many can operate and run a large stenner on there own......its a catch 22
-
type, quantity, and condition of timber, size supplied and size required, acsessability and condition of "yard", these all have a bearing on the cost, as well as your kit,
-
the biggest problem with the older set ups is complying with H&S requirments....usually costs more than the kits worth, thats why so many are being pulled out and scrapped. Its possible to buy in a complete new mill from eastern europe cheaper than trying to re-rig an old stenner or forrester to comply with regs

check with your councill, if they have an arb crew, you should be able to tweek there risk assesments and method statement, just be aware that sometimes councills ask for higher than normal amounts on the public liability insurance, i.e. 10mil instead of the normal 5mil, have also known them to ask for proffesional indemity

<p>postcode here is KA18 2RF, last cabinI built was 1 load, run in around 20 ton, but this again depends on what the wagons are rated at, 100 logs is being on the generous side to cover any problems during the build, and allow for changes, ie porch, partitions and boarded floor and roof lining, the group has a budget, and although its not finite, I'll need to try and stick to it. hoping it can all be done in larch, lasts a lot better and a lot less shrinkage,also dont have the sticky sap problem...lol.....getting a bit tooold now for the black "spiderman " hands every night!!!</p>

<p>cheers brian, yes, they'll be getting milled, 10" gives me nice 6" parrallel double "d" logs. a lot easier to build with, as long as there reasonably straight, any kinks can be worked ino the build. any ideas about carraige, as i dont have the capablity to haul </p>

<p>muldonach, looking for enough larch to build a log cabin for a group, Im looking for around 100 5mtr lengths of about 10" dbh, the build site is just outside cumnock and has a decent flat area for offloading, please advise on your prices and availability</p>

Full loads of larch required.
agrimog replied to Woodland sawmill guy's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
me too,Im looking for enough larch for a cabin project, around 100 lengths 5mtr, 10 " dbh in sw scotland, the site is inside the management zone so no paperwork hasstles -
right guys, the time has come again, another cabin to build, so I'm looking for any info on possible suppliers in the SW of scotland. I'm looking for around 100 5mtr lengths of larch(or sitka if I have to) of approx 250mm/10" dbh and delivery to site...........theres good acssess on site and a flat area to offload. any pointes would be a great help.......oh, and its a paying job, not looking for freebies
-
yes, the bar hieght above the lifting bars, and the scale on the same, a quick check is get a bit of 2" material, and wind up the lifting bar till its just touching on the chain, with a still and lo-pro pmx chain, the indicator is dead on 2" .......you might need to tweek any husky set up( havent ever used a husky on my m7)
-
should work fine, dont know how the measurement graduations would line up though as there spaced for a stihl, you might have to make a few adustments

12 weeks from no skills or knowledge to a fully fledged arborist/ tree surgeon.......and you all wonder why the trades turning to poop........enough said

find it a dream to cut, but then I physically check every log and orientate acording to the growth rings, I've found this helps prevent the bannana boards, and as a blade lube water and soluble oil, (check your local machine shop) I now use a synthetic one with 90:1 dilution rate, and nothing sticks to the band, and no corrosion either
-
there are diffrent types and sizes depending on what age and model of mog.....,any good hydraulic place should be able top refurb them

pay minimum wage.......get minimum brain
