    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

    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

    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

    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

    p.s., if your doing a lot of 10-12 logs for a cabin, try a 16" bar on a 660, thats fast !!!
  9. 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
  10. 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

    well all you's running tractors out there will be pleased to know you can now run at a stunning 25mph, and have an all up weight of 31ton after the changes came in on the 9th of march........dont let the extra speed get to you now.......lol:lol:
  12. agrimog
    check the clark website, they do a hydraulic wedge, but its pricey
  13. agrimog
    if you dont know what your doing, or are unsure, leave it to someone who does
  14. agrimog
    to comply with loller, any kit must be checked by a "competent" person, now who is going to be more competent than the person who is using, maintaining, and repairing whatever kit is involved. back in the days of common sense how did we ever manage without all this big brother holding our hands........
  15. agrimog
    twin tanks are ilegall you must stop, empty the red out, change the filter, then refill with white, and vice versa every time, just in case you might travell 100yards up the road on rebated fuel !!!!!!
  16. agrimog
    a pretty comprehensive list apart from the high speed tractors bit.....20mph is the limit, and it only applies to vehicles that do not conform to construction and use act....ie dont have suspension on all wheels (tractor being a solid mounted gearbox back axle assembly) fastracs, unimogs, and trantors all have suspension therefore are not restricted to 20mph.....dependant on what they are towing!!!!
  17. agrimog
    ok smarty pants mark. pto, get my wuking murds fuddled I do, been a long day fighting with H&S over some paperwork
  18. agrimog
    playing field is classed as a public area so horticulture wouldnt apply, some crazy rules out there, of all the ones horticulture is the most difficult to comply with
  19. agrimog
    dont mess around phone plod and demand they are charged with theft and criminal damage, and dont accept no for an answer
  20. agrimog
    if the mog is fitted with a three point linkage and a tpo, there is NO doubt, it is an agricultural machine, this is clearly covered in the construction and use act.....not arguable by anyone, even VOSA, they can only apply the rules, not make them, no matter what they like to think, do a search, print off the relevant sections and paras, laminate them and keep them in your mog, when you get hasstle off any of them, including plod, take them out and ask just what bit of black and white dont they understand, do not ever let them tell you they know best, and once again THERE ARE NO GREY AREAS WHERE MOGS ARE CONCERENED, its all been sorted out in various courts a long time ago
  21. agrimog
    fill the rat hole with broken glass topped off with concrete, they'll try and dig it back out, the glass shreds them
  22. agrimog
    if it wasnt forestry, agriculture, or horticulture, it must be white.....arboculture does not allow the use of red.....no grey areas, its all clearly layed out in the HMRC guidlines, pay the fine and think yourself very lucky
  23. agrimog
    just be aware tim, that our location wont support the prices that folk can charge down south, the closer to london, the higher the value of good quality boards
  24. agrimog
    what you require is profesionall indemity insurancse for any product you provide, a little different from public liability, if possible char the larch where it comes into contact with the ground, much better than any treatment, and a polyurathane type adhesive for fixing into the timber will allow for movement without cracking and allowing moisture into the core

    my first ever saw was a mac 10-10, i was way ahead of anything else around, I too am sorry that I got rid of it, but I've still got my little powermac6 top handle, maybe a bit heavy but can still play with the big boys no problem
