the millitary rate it for 10 ton, so god knows what it'll really carry
-
no piccies of the mill on the back of the mog Rough Hewn, but this is the log trailer
-
and as mine is towed by a purpose built forestry mog, it doesnt apply anyway
-
1.9 When does IVA not apply? • Agricultural or forestry tractors, their trailers and interchangeable towed machinery, together with their systems, components and separate technical units and trailers designed and constructed specifically to be towed by them. interchangable towed machinery.........I believe this applies to a saw,mill designed to be mobile, IE on its own chassis, which the woodland mill is, as are most other mills in the same style, norwood, logosol, woodmizer, etc........as it cannot carry a load, house people , or anything like that, its not a trailer in the construction and use sense
-
justme, you state, easy, its a trailer..........but in essance its not, the sawmill frame is built integrally into the structure, not added on to it, therefore it isnt a trailer.....and as such becomes a piece of towed equipment.....you cant place a load on it and carry it, it is specifically designed for one task, and as it weighs under 750kgs it requires no brakes, it has suspension, and lights that comply with legal requirements......and there are "caravans" out there that are longer.......what is the problem..........oh yes as a piece of equipment, it doesnt require an iva, unlike a homebuilt trailer.............and you say as an agri exemption it would be limited to 25mph.........only if the towing vehicle is, and as long as the tyres are rated for the speed, the mill is only limited to national limits (remember there are agricultural machines that are allowed to exceed 25mph)
-
as its not really a trailer, its a piece of agricultural/forestry towed equipment how do you interpret the legality ?
-
Im interested, but rather busy at the moment to complete all the paper work needed. once things calm down around middle of july Ill get more computer time, but by all means go for it guys, Ill catch up as soon as paul dick (agrimog)

getting beach down to 12% MC.... and other timbers
agrimog replied to farmerjohn's topic in Milling Forum
theres a good chance that the centre of that trunk could be soft and squidge, cut and milled enough beech to recognise the signs -
like you Saul, dont find beech a problem, but if Im not the one felling ash, I very rarely mill it with the saw, its hard enough on the band mill
-
looked at various brands of the gassles electric nailers and decided to leave well alone....they all have a finite life, and the repair at this point is nearly as expensive as a new gun.......and none of the manufacturers warranties cover it, so for me, bostich coil gun and an A&K framing gun, covers nails from 30mm to 100mm, and , smaller pin guns and staple guns when needed.......the gas ones are just to slow
-
have you looked at woodland mills own loading system, 2 ramps and a manual winch that fit onto the mill itself, should be easy to copy something similar for yourself
-
quickly looking back through this thread, nobody so far has come up with an answer that ryan can give back to the estate manager....one quick one...." right, the trails are blocked by one/several windblown trees, youll need to shut the particular trails till we can carry out an assesment and come up with a safe felling plan " the manager is only looking for something he can pass upstairs to cover any disruptions. once you have the breathing space, take your 2 experienced guys in and make a plan, covering all your options and equipment availability, a tractor and winch dictate a different plan from just a manual winch, or even no winch................wait till your in the middle of 30-40 square yards of edge side thats come down on the windward side of a hill, and blocking your only road in or out.........tell me about risk assesments and method statements then
-
justme, could you please tell me where its written that its illegal to fit the plate upside down......yes towbars are type approved, and the actual towball is type approved, but none of the myriad of attachments require to be, from pushbike carriers to step plates to toolbox mounts, at the end of the day it comes down to the strength of the M16 bolts holding the whole setup together......and those suplied by some towbar fitters these days are of dubious quality........when did you last check for any elongation or cracking on yours?
-
every cut on a multiple windblow site changes the risk, it is one of the most fluid risks in forestry, and immpossible to write a generic risk assesment for.........it is what is termed a "suck it and see" job, 99% looking and assesing and 1% cutting-
-
please explain Conner, ...drop plate used as designed , load is applied in tension and shear, material size and spec is calculated to cope with this, fitted upside down, load is in compression and shear, most materials are stronger in compression than tension, so the plate would acually be stronger..... the real problem is shear and its distance from the pivot point
-
find yourself some reclaimed pitch pine from older house pulldowns, your looking for floor joists and rafters, a bit more prep work but will produce long lasting windows
-
is there an "old" trailer you could "refurbish" ......this would save the grief of an IVA test.........(read carefully)
-
like any good 2 stroke, give it a decent run in period, before giving it total raz......around 4-5 tankfulls of good quality fuel/oil mix then start to work it, it should be ready for sloging around the 9-10 tank mark, but get the carb setings checked at this point
-
at 56mph, I assume you are using a mog or a fastrac, you have no option but use air, and unless using it on the agri exemption, the trailer must be plated (using it on a tractor, you are limited to 25mph irrespective of what brakes are firtted, the tractor limits the speed)............., and again unless on agri, it must be IVA'd to comply
-
also, 112, when registred on your phone will work in areas of almost nill reception, and also when opened on smart phones allows gps tracking for emerghency trace
-
nice job sir, didnt manage to get back over on friday, but we'll catch up again
-
have a close look at woodlands own design for loading logs, pretty simple to copy, the trick is in the shape thape sits inside the bunk and over the rail, locks the ramp in place, the winch post is simple, axles are simple, 50x50 x5 box and indespension units, and a wee play about to get he exact position to suit your nose weight ( head sits just behind axle for transport)
-
100x50x5 mm steel for your support frame, good choice, very stable, and a good start for a trailer build if you choose to go that way, most of the photos Ive seen of the mounts onto trailers consist of small brackets on the edges to stop the mill sliding about, and not actually holding it down, like you I initally used the leveling screws, tapped the top edge of the100x50, and locknutted the m16 screws, worked well and still allowed for adjustment, but I definetly prefer the woodland traler now your new mill looks good by the way, Ive read a couple of things on other mill forums about the 14hp motor and missalignment issues, various cures, slotting holes, different adjusters etc, kick an e-mail back to them, help improve the breed, and have a search for a scissor jack, make a bracket up that fits between the rails and bingo, instant toe board

the camera vans are user operated in spite of the type approval, the operator can only use the device to corroberate his estimate that you are speeding, in reality they traack and record every vehicle they can and the tapes are analysed latter to catch as many as possible, they will almost never realease the video for court use claiming data protection, sneaky c@@ts

milwaukee has a nice new one out in the std 18v power tools range.......keeps up with the petrol ones, but its a pricey beast
