the main problen with an increase in tractor speed limits isnt the tractor, its the stuff that gets attached to them.... how many farmers do you know that actually maintain there implements and trailers. thee were some tests done not so long ago about the stoping distances for tractors and a 12ton grain trailer, at 20mph, everything was fine, they stopped quite quickly, and without drama, at 30mph.......forget it, the tractor was shoved sown the road , all wheels locked, and took about 3 times farther to stop. another factor stopping an increase in speed is the speed ratings on the tyres, most are good to a max of 25mph, but increased distances at higher speeds and high loasdings cause chuncks to fly off, also the majority of equipment is not constructed to cope with speeds above 20 mph, the road traffic laws are quite clear about it, you want the perks and savings of an agricultural tractor.....you drive at a max speed of 20mph, you want to go faster....MOT's, 6 weekly checks, "o"licences, and compliance with HGV rules, Its just that so many of the "poor" farming community want there cake, and to eat it. I am all in favour of plod comming down hard on the farmers who flaunt the RTA laws, they are quick enough to jump on the rest of us for minor indescrections, so why not farmers

just go to a decent engineering supply place and buy some dormer brand

dont know, but it seems when you hit the big 50, somebody implants an on/off switch in your bum, when I come in after a day on the mill, sit down, and it seems to switch off.......wake up a couple of hours later and wonder where its gone....lol, and I found a cure for the sprogs always on there mobile years ago.....a tri band jammer off ebay, means there phones dont work within 50yards of where I put it, its brilliant

I'd like to see someone set that up in the middle of small hillside plantation

i sense a scam

nice mill, nice to see it powered by an aircooled VW motor, should be quite reliable

"if its a pico chain then they will not do them only does the larger chains." does my PMX milling chains no problem, took a bit of time setting everything up, but no problems, and a perfect cut every time

of course everyone knows that the "CPC", certificate of professional competence, is to bring us up to the standard of european drivers, what a joke, if this is the case why arent they teaching how to watch the telly, cook soup, and have a phone conversation, all while weaving an artic all over two lanes, these days all you require is a cheap flight to one of the eastern european countries, a made up name, and a wad of cash, turn up at one of the corner shops and purchase your "new" european hgv and cpc over the counter , wheres the problem in that, no boring classroom time, no difficult training or tests, must be a good idea, what do you think......lol

the american one at 63 tons......remember these are american tons, or short tons, as against the other at a REAL 60 tonnes, our cousins across the pond seen to forget they made all the measurements smaller so it looks more on paper

there not chinese, there actually made in germany, strange but true

the logosol mill is excellent for doing quarter sawn stuff, as long as the blanks are longer than 75" you can handle some pretty big diameter logs, shorter lengths need a "sub table" and kind of limit the diameters, but like most things, theres workarounds

at a display day for FEI for a local school

transit connect is classed as a van, so all the speed restrictions apply , caddy and berlingo are car derived vans, so normal speed limits, good to know if you do a lot of motorway and A class roads

woodland mills are quite popular in the usa as home owner/ backyard mills, quite a bit cheaper than woodmizer, check out the american milling forums

pressure washed, squared top and tidied on the bottom, glass top slapped on, and there going from £800-00 upwards in the fancy shops

go for as good a build as you can get, the sides stop the bed twisting when its tipped with an uneven load, been there, buggered that....lol

left is headlight beam adjuster, right is dash display dimmer

the pickup on the roundabout stoping the traffic..lol

sad to hear jeffa, but odds on its already sold on for some bags of smack

not easy to insure a mobile mill with the normal arb insurance bods, mine is done on the buildings policy(nfu) as a named piece of movable equipment( took a little bit of sorting out due to value, and a little extra on the premium, but worth it for the security )

at 4 acres its doable with a fingermower(reaper), turn it with an old haybob, and get someone to bale it with a small square baler, if the wildflower content is right, the horsey folk will be queing up to buy them, the old implements can be picked up for buttons, a few words among the farming community should turn a few up

brilliant, love the non compliant escort vehicle on the roundabout in the second clip

its also been found on douglas fir, but again it cant sporulate of them, the most of the south west of scotland including the galloway penninusla is now listed as a contaiminated area and has its own act concerning the felling and movement of timber

as long as your not weaving in and out, its perfectly legal to undertake on a motorway or dual cariageway, its classed as continueing on your way, so when your sitting at "69mph" on the inside lane, and mr muppet is sitting at 50 in the middle, cos the insides for lorrys, innit, you can sail on past him and not bother 1 little bit
