a good pair of chap style trousers will suit you fine for your limited use, the bonus is that one size fits all, so anyone using your saw can use them, as for gloves, its a personall choice thing, you either like them or not
-
fuel injection means electronics, means problems, and unless they make it a locked and sealed system, the chip can be re-written/altered anyway
-
noticed at the wreath laying today that a lot more youngsters are getting involved, defineately seems that the younger generation are taking more notice of what the ceremony means
-
depends on the atv, I have accsess to a 700 polaris 4 wheel drive machine, it goes places even the alpine cant, and pulls out surprising loads, how you use it makes more difference than what you've got

there are also some russian things in the 14-15mm range which are hand fired !!!!

weapon of choice is now .416 Tac Chevy, it punches out to 2500m and unlike the others, is dammed near flat trajectory, the Barrat was an attempt to fill a gap that didnt exsist, L42, then L96, then the .338 lapua do just fine, the barrat was just the usual american way of quantity rather than quality, it takes a lot of time and a very good armourer to make a barrat moa acurate, the AI weapons do it out of the box

r-tech have a very good reputation for all there kit, you wont go far wrong with one of there's, plus really good back up

the stove in my house is a beautifull old cast iron one, gets very hot and keeps the heat for hours, never causes any problems, other than a bit of having to black lead it to keep it looking good, the one in the workshop is made entirely from steel, it varies from 15mm to 25mm thick, it takes foreever to warm up when its first lit, (usually around now), but it will radiate a reasonable heat for days on very little wood, mostly being fuelled by offcuts from the workshop, it was consructed from offcuts of boilerplate from a well known steel supplier and a lot of stick rods, and it will definatley see me out, so whether iron or steel, doesnt matter as long as its made from quality stuff
-
its the type of iginuity that used to exsist here before common sense and the ability to make do and mend was destroyed by H&S and the nanny state, how many old farms had machinery made for specific tasks by the local blacksmith that were unique and had none of the "saftey features" demanded by todays "rules"
-
there is a bandsaw mill designed to fit on the logosol mills
-
hidden behind all this furore and shouting, what else are the scum trying to sneak through without anyone knowing, its a typical scum tactic
-
sustained use of a hedgecutter is more likley to cause whitefinger than a saw, having seen the tests carried out by my LA, i was very surprised at the HAV test results, even strimmers were comming in with higher readings than most of the saws, only a couple of big older ones were causing a little concern, it seems the higher frequency vibrations are the risky ones, and not everyone is effected the same.

I've just turned a massive tree with better spalting than that into firewood because folk wont pay for my time to board and dry it, its worth more as firewood
-
I'd like to see that trying to work on some of our scotish hilsides, even getting the dozer to the top would be interesting
-
I'm afraid my thoughts on FISA are a little jaded, a bunch of self congratulating a-holes out to make as much money as quickly as they can off the backs of others, they are ruining the industry for there own profity
-
better get a new tow chain for the mog then, a fortune to be made towing cars out of snowdrifts round here......lol

I'm not a Fabricator . .But!, (or my new log store)
agrimog replied to difflock's topic in General chat
nicely done sir, the plates on the box section make sense, purlin mounts, like it a lot -
yup, my LT van has a bed, sink, and cooker in it for just such occasions, plus plenty of room for all my kit

J, yer on your own, Innes estate is over behind miltown, there are so many different species of trees on that estate it could be anything, if it had been spynie or pitgaveney, there was a chance, they were church owned , and not so varied, but innes has been in the same family for generations, everything from everywhere planted on that one. ( how do I know, used to live in lhanbryde!)
-
J, did it come from the old estate between Elgin and Lossie, there were a lot of odd ball specimen trees there, spynie woods rings a bell as to its name
-
even up here in scotland its slow at the moment,prices are down, so production is too, hopefully it will pick back up soon
-
how longs a piece of string Jon, age, spec, maintanence record, etc, as with any mog, there is no hard and fast guidline. U100L, a glorified sprinter built for councils who didnt actually need a mog, but thought it would look good in the yard, they look good, but dont do anything very well, underpowered and cheaply built
-
the smaller mogs, U900/404 are almost as good as the later square cabs, just a bit tight in the cab, they make good tow wagons, as long as your not in a hurry, try looking for the auto ones, specifically designed for towing, they pop up now and again,
-
back in the dark and distant past(pre personall computers), everybody needed an accountant, cos the sneaky gits had worded everything in there own language that nobody could understand!!, these days there are a multitude of accounting programs available that render the lowlifes redundant(maybe a bit harsh), unless you actually require one to prepare a set of accounts for companies house, everything else can be done in house, even your end of year returns, save yourself a fortune , DIY
-
Ian, get yourself registered on benzworld.org in the unimog part of the forum, any technical questions will quickly be answered there, youve just got to put up with some crazy folk who seem to think they can make mogs go fast !!!!
