    thank you spuddog, that clears up a lot, and really throws a spanner in the works, most of the time its of the back of an alpine tractor, and the valve block clips onto the rops frame, so no loler needed, the other times its hooked on the mog, and that meamns it needs a loler ticket. do you have a refrence off the H&S site at all

    interesting, but the EN in sten came from its initial manufacturing place, Enfield, not England as it says in the info. the royal ordance factory, enfield, middlesex.

    by driving a vehicle over the ground he has caused damage, grass is a valuable crop, and you can force the police to press charges

    I am in a bit of a quandry , timber grabs and loller checks, how does it stand, I know my atlas on the mog needs an annual check, but I cant find details anywhere about timber grabs, the same as mounted on my timber trailer. H&S documentation on the web is really vague, it says forestry equiment has to be, but then no details about what, or how, anybody out there got any information about this

    most doctors wont accept that there is a possibility you might have it, old school quacks are very loathe to send things for tests, they would rather screw your life up, so if in the slightest doubt demand they do the tests and dont take any rubbish from them....just remind them you pay there wages

    bit difficult to do 30/31 now as they no longer exsist, now its different city and guilds numbers and different setup

    the best example of how to sort out corruption in goverment is Iceland, no coveage in the media, and very little being said about it anywhere else, the inhabitants had a peoples revolution, kicked out the goverment, jailed the bankers, rewrote the constitution, getting rid of the crap that they hadnt voted for that benifitted the "ruling" classes, and installwed a goverment of common folk who actually knew what was going on in the real world, they have gone from being bankrupt to a thiving country in a very short time and no politicians have gotten rich on somebody elses work. It would be wonderfull if something along those lines could work here, but too many corrupt officials to jail, there just isnt the space for them all

    gordon brown is the perfect example of why the whole political system in the uk needs a bomb putting under it, he is the only man in history who sold gold and made a loss. the "perfect" man to run a country, then tells people he has the answers to our financial problems....better than the grimms fairytales....lol

    it was in the galloway forest, if they had "fallen" into one of the marshy bits, they would never have re-apeared, no loss, hope they are caught soon, and for there sake, it better be the police that find them first......we look after our own up here

    make an apointment with your GP as soon as possible, it is very possible you are suffering from delayed shock, you need to see, and talk to a healthcare proffesionall who understands these kind of things. I know it sound stupid and not the "manly" thing to do, but it is the right thing to do

    it is indeed Skyhuck, It was late last nightwhen Iposted up, just had a quick look, never noticed the grill shape, 411 westie, more a smilie face than the 404 "frown" grill, well picked up
  14. agrimog
    early 404 with a westfalia cab, very desirable among collectors, also very pricey

    ray ban aviators, had mine since I "aquired" them from flying clothing in the RAF many many years ago, still in perfect condition (plus the lenses are optically perfect, no distortion)

    PLB's trigger an alarm at a national monitoring centre, 24/7 cover, thats why they have to be registred to the user, most dont have a talk facility, but as technology advances they are getting cleverer, they do however have a GPS locator in them

    Yard Layout

    agrimog replied to N1ck's topic in General chat

    use 4 containers to make a tunnel, roof over the space and theres your storage in the middle, if you get the side opening ones, you can put your mill in and work from there, if not build a lean to roof off the container and use that
  18. agrimog
    a PLB, or SARBE, if properly registered, and triggered will instigate a SAR response, if used correctly this will not cause a problem, but if abused could lead to the user getting a hefty bill, I am only aware of one "kit" carrying these at the moment and the users should hopefully be aware of there proper use. If you know you are going to be working in remote areas where there is no phone, or radio, coverage, think about investing in a sat phone, they arent that expensive, and work everywhere( if you can see sky, they work !), they might just save someones life

    if you cant dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit........lol

    any trailer over 3500kg, unless agri, must have air brakes, unless its a historic, C&U act

    he's the boss, your just the employee, he makes the choices and pays the bills, if you dont like his choices-find somewhere else to work...simple

    done, time for a more concerted push on biosecurity before there are no wooded spaces left for folk to enjoy and have some lesuire time in
  23. agrimog
    p.s., if your doing a lot of 10-12 logs for a cabin, try a 16" bar on a 660, thats fast !!!
  24. agrimog
    I take it you have the moulder for the logosol then, its worth keeping the mill for that alone, mill on the bandsaw, then profile/shape on the logosol, okay your limited to 9"on the moulder, but how often are you going to need more than that, if you do your looking at a serious bit of industrial kit that isnt movable. As for bar droop, I regularly use a 36" bar on my M7, and although it looks like it droops, when the cut starts it all seems to sort itself out and things come off just fine, again you've just got to make sure the mill is set up spot on, I'm making the move to a bandmill, but this is being driven by speed of cutting rather than anything else, when working with over 100 5mtr logs for a cabin, the logosol and chainsaw can become a bit tedious, plus the ability to knock off a few specimen boards from short bits always has a bonus
  25. agrimog
    the 1/4" and 1/8" scaling are to suit the pmx chain setup that logosol recomend, and with it, its possible to take 1/8" slices over the full 5mtr if your m7/m8 is set up right, dont sell it, keep it as a means of sectioning up larger timber for a bandmill, (look up inverted milling with the m7, the only limiting factor is bar size!) you can have the best of both worlds
