its a plan to bring russia to its knees, but its not working, russia produces gas, europe needs that gas, russia is now selling its gas for gold only, it will not deal in dollars, the big plan is failing, expect to see oil prices rise sharply as the US discovers that Putin wont give in to there petty demands, hang on to the wood stocks because as soon as the cheap fill on the heating oil is gone , the clients will be back

So what are your business plans/ambitions for the new year?
agrimog replied to Steve Bullman's topic in General chat
get the new mill up and paying for itself, and a few more building projects in store -
your looking at 3-5 months with no problems, and doing what the pyhsio tells you, any problems and it could be never getting full use back, you'll grow to hate your "blue" rubber band, (anyome who's had a shoulder op will know what I mean), start light and dont overdo it, thats what the young upcomers are for...lol..., you should be back to norm by the middle of the year, good luck and enjoy the enforced break

I've worked with an alpine, bca 30hp one and a 3 1/2 ton kranman trailer with a 4m crane on it, the loader strugled, was slow and we broke the end of the arm(twisted it, no reinforcing round the holes), the tractor used to hang up on anything taller than 6", so tall stumps or big roots were a problem, you would struggle to get 15ton out in a shift unless the ground was good, fortunatley we only had to use it because of low impact requirements, we now tend to use the winch, once you get things set up, its really fast, and a 2 man team can move a serious amount of timber quickly, as long as you set up your staging points close to rides or breaks rope length doesnt seem to be a problem. you can then get a decent size forwarder in to clear out with no ground damage, works well on first and second thinnings

get the heavy duty ones, and find out if you have the agri lift kit fitted, (discs around an inch thick fitted to the springs, and a bracket extending the shocks), you can reset the load sensor , the measurements are in the workshop manual, also do you have an anti roll bar fitted, this stiffens the rear up as well

Anyone know of a Guilliet & Fils/ stenner sawmill?
agrimog replied to Graham w's topic in Milling Forum
keep up the good work Graham, it'll be nice to see it running and turning out some nice timber again, should be ready in time for the glut of larch that 'll hit the market soon -
just remember, doesnt matter how much youve got sticking out the front, exceed 20mph and they'll have you, most cops are getting switched on to tractors and 20mph now

you could probably get 2 power packs for what it would cost to fit hydraulics to a more modern landrover, and the pack would be more reliable as well

if anyone cares to check up, they will find that every "councill" in the country actually has 2 setups, the councill, with all its restrictions and rules, and the councill ltd, a private corporation run purely to make a profit, thats how they can get away with all the underhand things they get up to

mogs with OM352 engines DO NOT have heater plugs, some are fitted with the start pilot system.....which is excatly the same as easy start, in that it is ether based, a SMALL squirt of easy start will fire the engine on the coldest days, if your worried about it knackering your engine, get some spray brake cleaner, its not as aggresive as ether, and since they took the kero base out of wd40, its about the only one that will work, (the OM 362 doesnt have heater plugs either)

tack on tommy's been involved with that build up

just got the logosol "specials " in, the kilns are on offer at the moment
-
your alli chequer plate is very slippy when wet and surprisinly doesnt have a lot of strength, it would be a lot better laid over exterior ply or solid timber, the best solution would be keruen, same as is used on truck floors( far eastern hard wood grown in the mangrove swamps, is about 30% silica, and very very hard !!) it would outlast the steel

no comment, as everyone is to blind to realise the difference between lawfull and legal, you can sort it out yourselves, just remember the wonderfull phrase"governed by consent"
-
chris, speak to your local tractor supplier about mitas tyres, proper speed ratings, and a lot cheaper than ac price
-
yes, done that one, use the 150a rated ones(red), and run a heavy feed right from the battery, min 25mm2 use a mega fuse rated at 200a as close to the battery as you can and take the ground from your plug straight to a good chassis ground

Yard broken into again in Southampton
agrimog replied to HRG Tree Services's topic in Stolen Equipment
need to turn your unit into a "live trap", not to difficult to get in......but impossible to get out, ........then dig a big hole -
cos they cant tax the wood used as fuel, the wannabe ***** that run the country are trying to scare the sheeple back onto taxable resources........smoke and mirrors all over again

pickups are classed as dual purpose vehicles, and not subject to the restriction, and it does not apply to any car derived van, these speed restrictions havent changed in years

440v.......dont screw around...lol

if you've got accsess to a spindle moulder, the logosol profiles are readlly available, and a lot cheaper, from most suppliers, the other way is a little bit of maths, work out the amont of staves you requir for your tub, and the angles they intersect, and do this on a planer, ( for a 2mtr dia tub with 100mm x 38mm staves, this is just under 5 degrees) this means they will sit flat to flat, and as they swell, will give a watertight seal, if you want to get really clever, you could machine a slot into each edge and insert a spline, its a lot of work making a wooden tub, but worth it , as for what timber to use......larch and spruce are my choices,
-
all the two plonkers do is fill in the bits between the experts actually doing the work(which they cant show) and the adverts......its a purely another "reality" show, its debatable if they actually buy the vehicles to start with,there are a lot of stories around the motor trade about the farce........

ed china a mechanic..........not in this universe!!!
