if it isnt fixed onto the mog, dont run the pto.....even the smallest sbu models put over 70hp through the pto shaft

what are you Mike, a man or a mouse, the rain stops at the skin, your letting the side down here, us scotsmen are'nt supposed to be bothered by the bad weather....lol..says me who's been sitting in the workshop watching the bad weather thinking bugg** that, I'm not even getting the saw out, never mind thinking about milling anything, get a big fire on, plunk the kettle on, and put the feet up Mike, enjoy the break

shavey, mines works most days of the week, everything from just squaring off edges of bords for rustic work to cutting abnormal length or dimensions beams,I run a 066 with various length bars, (16", 20", 28", and 36" ), all thin kerf logosol and only use sthil PMX chains now, these match up perfectly to the measuring bars on the mill, and a little time setting everything up means I can cut from an 1/8" up accurately. I would have no problems recomending a logosol mill to anyone, though there is a little bit of a learning curve till you dial everything in to suit yourself
-
check the logosol site, theres a special offer on the M8 at the moment
-
there all very good reading, slightly biased towards the permaculture side of woodland management, but cant hold that against the guy, still has his good points

a lot of urban myths comming out here today, now some facts, tractors are limited to 20mph...by the road traffic act, tractors are described by the construction and use regulations, nothing to do with brakes, its all about suspension, try reading it, there are age restrictions on tractors the same as all other vehicles, and weight restrictions. (21 is the magic age for most driving things, ) anybody who operates a tractor on the road needs to read, and actually be aware of what the law actually says because it only takes one police orifice who knows and your licencse is gone
-
depends on the tipper builder, some use a cantilever system and some are straight multisection rams
-
also, what timber are you cutting, and are you hand sharpening, and what lengths and dia's
-
how much timber are you cutting in that 2 month, and are you using an M7, or timberjig setup, and is it the logosol bar and pmx chain setup you are using
-
I am actually rather fussy of what I burn in my stove... it has to be tree wood...
-
it comes down to horses for courses, if you can site the bandsaw mill easilly, get the timber on to it without any hassle, and move the milled wood away , then a bandsaw wins hands down, but when theres no vehicle acsess , the timber is to big, or just plain pain in the but site, then you need a chainsaw mill
-
that stuffs ok for tying things down, but not for a winch...it stretches about half as much again
-
if my memory serves me right the main military use was to tow the 105 howitzers so around 2 to 2.5 ton would seem right, there was a larger version built that was classed at 7.5 ton, but in 4x4 versions there as rare as hens teeth
-
hiluxstihl, for to get 50 ton you need at least a 7" cylinder with 200 bar of pressure, so unless your tractor is producing a lot more than this, that splitter aint making 50t, looks like a 4-4.5" cylinder so maybe around 17-23t at a push
-
why does every one suddenly assume the only chainsaw mill is an alaskan?, no-one ever heard of logosols timber jig and big mill systems, a lot easier to use, and can be integrated into bigger an better systems as you progress rthrough top a proper mill system, look them up on you tube before jumping inat the deep end
-
looking for a rough price on sitka or larch, approx 10"-12" dbh and in 5-6mtr lengths, around 10-12 tonne, pricing up a build job in the sw scotland area
-
I'll stick to my good old fashioned primus stove, boils water faster than any of these fancy kettles, and makes toast as well (30 year old add on bit) plus it now runs on diesel (small mod to the jet)

Tractor & forwarding trailer qualifications
agrimog replied to Timber terrier's topic in Training & education
and your driving licence isnt proof youve been trained, how? -
it was a basic pickup, no bells and whistles, but it did its job well, same as an isuzu tf45

if anyone bothered to read the article they would have read the comments as well, the "pupil" was a year 13, 6th form and having said permission had been granted, then removed this head teacher should be pulled up before the board of govenors and his tenure placed in question, as far as I'm aware the UK is still a country that holds traditional customs strongly and I have been noticing a strong resurgence in the rememberance day services and customs, as well it should, the parents of these cadets need to demand a public apology for there children and an apology for the act of rememberance which this idiot has defiled
-
Big J, remember your not running the typical band mill now, and a stenner isnt excatly portable, the average bandmill, runs a blade between 1 and 2 inches wide, and these do deflect and cause striations, and 2 I dont now and never will mill with a 404 chain, its a total waste, a dedicated 3/8 picco is a genuine 1/4" kerf, and when the chain and mill are properly setup the boards are almost as good as some planners produce !
-
the forrestry commission does not own the woodland, they only manage it for the owners.......the public
-
why o why does every one assume that you loose more boards with a chainsaw mill than with a bandsaw, whats the kerf with the bandsaw, then how much have you got to plane off to get rid of the striations left by the blade deflecting at every little knot and hard bit, against the 1/4" kerf of a properly sharpened and set up picco chain which will need very little removing by the planner, perhaps 1 pass per side, plus the fact you can take the chainsaw mill anywhere, yes the BS mill for production work and speed, but for specimen timbers I still look to my CS mill
-
with the way sthil and husky are going, we might all be on disposable saws soon....lol
-
yes, and have done for several years now, nothing on the mog is beyond a competent mechanic/engineer, the MB service manuals are all you need along with a good dealer(the specialists are not always cheaper!) and acsess to the MB EPC system for your parts (registration is about £12 a year and its a brilliant piece of kit)
