  1. Nice one bud, picked a nice day for it too.
  2. Classic
  3. We don't have one mate, a friend of mine does logs and has a hakki 1x easy. Small machine but I reckon its great. We only generally process about 65 tonnes each year for our own boiler. We hire him in for 3 - 4 days a year to get it done. Doing twice as much this year as we always seem to be behind. He brings his processor, tractor and transit Tipper and we get 4 of us working and fire it straight in the shed with Tipper. 2 people on processor and 2 stacking. We do roughly 18 tonne a day split and stacked. Not sure how good this is but it suits us. And Pete is so cheap its Not worth buying one. We have a Good splitter for year round use and the big stuff. James
  4. Yes delivered to yard, he's a good man and think he does us favour as everyone else wants a lot more money. 99% 4-14" mostly all about 9" and three lengths about 20".
  5. But this isn't the case with the small log mill where I believe you only lose 2or3".
  6. We just had 52 tonne delivered 2 weeks ago for £43 per tonne. Processed last week and now in shed.only 3 lengths wouldn't go in processor. Roughly 60% ash 30% beech. Another 52 coming next week hopefully. James
  7. No you do not. Not any insurance I've ever had anyhow.
  8. I've got a 24" now ed, you'd be welcome to borrow if you needed it. Got anything worth milling your up for selling?
  9. I May be interested, depending on their location? Any pics available James
  10. I had the same decision to make a couple months back. Went for the 24",very pleased with it and glad i didnt go for the small log mill. I think the 044 is around 70cc so i would imagine a little under powered to run the 30" bar you need to use the full length of the 24" James
  11. Thanks Wisecoat My 051 manual says the settings are the same as spuds post, but ill keep what you say in mind. So are you saying i should set h screw to max at 6500rpm?
  12. Thanks Spud, I'll give it a go tomorrow. I dont have anything to test the speed so have to play that one by ear. Will let you know how i get on. James
  13. Had a few hours spare today so started work on the worst saw, hekicoils to recoil case, new recoil spring, carb rebuild, new filters plugs etc. So read up as best I could on tuning carb, screwed low out 1 turn and high out 1.25 turns. Saw started ok but lots of white smoke(lots) . Im assuming I'm running too rich on low screw, but didn't want to damage anything so thought id ask if anyone had a simple description of how to tune and how to know how far to go with high screw. Thanks James
  14. Sounds as if he's laughing all the way to the bank!
  15. Should always be done yearly after nesting season we do ours September/october. No problems with insurance or certificates when self sweeping, although this is an issue in Germany.
  16. I'm surprised that you say beech is hard to sell as I really enjoy working with it.
  17. I'm amazed there's no takers. Lovely big butts don't come my way enough!
  18. I bet you couldn't buy it for less than £5500 + vat in this country. Seems a lot to me.
  19. If you do find some, could you update with price info please, as I'd be interested on the costings my self. Thx
  20. Consent for things like this in a conservation area can be difficult. I know someone who had to take a treehouse down in a c a as it needed planning permission of sorts.
  21. looks lovely, shame your not closer. the ice cream may have swung the distance though.
  22. Hey guys,one more quick question if thats ok, All parts for the overhaul are ordered, but when i look at the parts diagram the fuel line and impulse line have the same part no. so there made of the same hose. Is this correct? Thanks James
  23. Thanks for all the help guys, and a most useful video. Thanks again. James
  24. Don't you think that with use, the amount of fuel used would cost a fortune, don't have any experience running saws like the 88 but wouldn't a fourstroke would use far less. I understand the benfits of mobility but a peterson atm is pretty mobile.
  25. Thanks Alec, few questions if you dont mind. Whats included in a carb kit from rowena and after looking atthere website im slightly bemused as to which kit i should order. Is the fuel filter you speak of in the tank pickup, or isthere another one, whats the difference between impulse line and fuel line. Thanks mate, James
