there is a little known fact under british law called the judges act, It states the use of force, including lethal force against yourself , or those in your protection is permissable a small search on what and how you are actually allowed to protect yourself is invalueble, the police force in this country havent got a clue, and make it up as they go along. they are only interested in making any easy buck

Ive found the best deterent for these lowlifes is usually 30grammes of no6, they tend not to come back, and get the message

would have went, but it clashes with the vintage tractor show at ayr, and after it was rained off last year, dont want to miss it this year,

early morning. or late evening, and sticker and stack out of direct sunlight, maybe even cover them updepending where you stack them, its murder in this weather, but with a little planning you can get most stuff milled, Ive even milled timber and left it stacked in the forest under natural cover

drop your tree, forget about the lines, then the customer can phone and report a fault, wont cost them anything, not there fault tree fell down and broke the lines!!!

putting a new roof on the starage shed, 29 degrees and a metal roof.....I have that draining away feeling...lol

fortunately, or unfortunatly, for me, they need my skills and kit more than I need them, I wont be jumping through any of there stupid hoops as I have a full work book for the forseeable future and I am already looking at scaling back my workload and starting to do the things I want for a change, one of the joys of getting to be an old grumpy...lol.. It is dissapionting to see the industry going this way, and in my opinion it will destroy it, a few "big" guys making the rules, being controlled by the bean counters with no thoughts to the long term effects that there having

this is going to bite some asses soon, here in the southwest of scotland we have some of the largest stands of softwood in the uk, I was out for a "sunday drive" at the weekend and the forest road I was on took me past an area that they had started to clearfell by harvester....surprise surprise, about half the area had to be done by hand as it was too steep, you could see the tracks where the machinery had been sliding about, and a "line" had been drawn about halfway up a hillside, now from memory of my youth and stories from others most of the forests around the south west were planted by hand back in the late '50's early 60's and no thought was ever given to mechanical extraction, I've seen stands of timber planted up near vertical faces on some of the large plantations, a lot of this timber is going to have to be hand felled and either skylined out or be left,If the owners get to fussy with there call for all this extra certification and paperwork there going to be left with vast tracts of timber that no-one will cut for them and ultimatly be seriously out of pocket, the next couple of years is going to be very interesting in the forestry side of things, in a way I'm glad that I'm getting a bit long in the tooth for some of it these days, but the fact that the numpties who havent served there time in the woods, and are starting to make the rules will gradually kill the industry in this country

all the info Ive got :-137-667-611/f297c 12.5 horse

kill wire was not connected, (got to short it to the casing to stop the engine, old school style), motor was running, broke a drive belt, then wouldnt start, usual checks gone through, and only one showing up is no spark when engine is turned over....therfore must be the coil pack, its got compresion, its getting fuel(good fuel), just no sparkjust trying to source best place to get one

the coil has two HT leads coming off it, there is no seperate electrical feeds to it, only the kill wire coming off which runs to ground, the coil is mounted on the side of the flywheel with only a few thou clearance and everything else has been checked, as I said earlier this thing is ancient!!!!

how can there be legislation for some thing that isnt covered by law, only a H&S advisory paper, sorry about that

help, our much abused MTD lawnflite ride on has spat the dummy and to the best of my knowledge its the coil thats packed in (no spark) Does any one know where I can get one, its a 12.5hp horizontal twin briggs and stratton, god only knows the age, but I reckon Adam maybe used it

nothing wrong with welding a bar, used to be how extra long ones were made, before the manufacturers caught on to the untapped market...lol

how can a climbing rope be the wrong rope?, its all made in the same factories with the same materials, supose youll be saying rescue ropes are the wrong kind next

if your expecting the winch to do any hard work, then a hydraulic or PTO driven one is a must, the duty cycle on even the best electric ones is awfull, and the warmer the motor gets, the more current they draw for the same pull, ( I used to fit the Electric ones on fire engines and these were electronicly de-rated to 3 tonnes for this reason), even the cheapy hydraulic ones will run at a constant pull all day, just watch the fluid temps, and your PTO ones, well how good's your gearbox, depending on your base vehicle, there are a multitude of fitting kits and systems out there, just depends on the depth of your pockets, and your level of "engineering" ability as to which way you go (running a mog I'm spoiled, one werner on a TPL mount , and two cheapy ones, one rigged to fit on the hiab, and one for a front or rear mount off the tow hitch points, I wouldnt go back to electric for any serious work ). good luck with what ever way you choose to go

big respect for these guys, going to be hard to replace them, thoughts go out for there families

you can run as many liners up the stack as you can fit, the lazy bas***ds just dont want to do it, once the flue gas has went roughly a metre up the liner,its not that hot anyway

nothing says its got to be accurate, its a survey, make it up as you go, why should you have to waste your time for a bunch of ex uni civil servant bean counters

2 cicuits at the front and 2 at the back is a std setup , the tipper ram will run off one of them, the front linkage will plug into one of the front pairs, you cannot plug anything into the same circuit front and rear at the same time( there are ways of doing this, but its difficult to explain without showing). Iff you get a connection stuck, turn off the engine and operate the spool valve lever in both directions, this will dump any pressure in the circuit and let you disconnect the couplings, DO NOT slacken any hydraulic connections while under pressure as fluid at 2500+ psi can cause serious(fatal) injuries, as stephen says, first make sure all the mogs own "bits" work ok, and if they do start looking at the trailer, I would check the saftey check valves in the spool block first, then start traciing the circuits looking for problems

gray git, the free flow return on the mog is usually sited off to one side of the back and the red collars lock the levers in the neutral (off ) position, they should lock in the operating position if you pull them over( they will "pop" back to the neutral if the bypass valve in the block is operated(usually caused by the circuit in use "deadheading")

first, how many levers in the cab, 1, 2, 3, or 4, does your mog have a three point linkage, does it have a tipper, , you say you have 4 plugs on the back, this says to me you have 2 circuits, there is a feed and return in each, normally the tipper uses 2 of these, but you say youve moved the lever to switch the tipper ram out of the circuit. you should have more than enough flow for your trailer, you say its putting the legs down so it sounds like you have placed the lines in correctly, is there enough oil in the tank, are the rpm's set high enough to get maximum flow( can you borrow a flow gauge and a pressure gauge and check ). its just unfortunate your at the other end of the country or we could soon have had you working

the joys of having a crane!!!

its a skill that takes an age to learn, remember the saw only really cuts on the pull stroke, trying to make it cut on the "push" is why your getting a curved cut, it takes a while to get this into your mindset 'cos its the opposite of a normal saw

have a look on you tube for rojek style chippers, some of the home made ones are perfect for 6 inch logs, I'm in the process of building my own oneto run off the mog pto, big timesaver, and gets rid of all the smaller stuff that you normally have to chip
