  1. One fine day I hope to be able to show some pics of the house.
  2. They will be used for a timber framed house.
  3. I've been using Stelite blades I was getting from Germany, but quite pricey. Today I was using a Ripper 37 Bi-metal blade, which is going through it very well. Will see on Monday how long a blade will last. Just taken the battered outside of a 6.6m length today and will start taking it down to 200x200 on Monday.
  4. Aye, they were 3 tonnes at 7m when they were first lifted onto my trailer. Luckily I have a telehandler to move them about.
  5. Hello, would anyone have a Lucas mill they'd be interested in selling? A 10-30 or an 8-30 would be perfect. Nooie
  6. Some of the Greenheart I’ve been milling over the last few months. Been taking them down to 200x200 mm. Not the easiest to mill for sure. Anyone selling a Lucas mill?
  7. No, I don't have one, but I told him a shredder seems the way to go.
  8. Yeah, there are loads round here. You can ask the recycling guy for as much as you like. He gets paid to take it away so if anyone wants some, it saves him shipping it away.
  9. I don't know about that.
  10. Or worse still, the fish eat the feed with microplastics, which is then eaten by humans (plastic has been found in the meat). We don't eat it and I don't know many fishfarm workers that do. i used to work on fishfarms and after seeing what went into fish, I wouldn't eat it.
  11. Aye, I'm thinking a day's hire isn't worth the hassle of possibly an expensive fix later..
  12. It gets thin where there's bends, but most of it is still pretty thick. Our poly tunnel has just stood up to 80mph winds no problem.
  13. It's handy to have some. I use it for ducting and we'e built a couple of polytunnels with it too. A guy recycling it is asking to hire our chipper as theres so much of it to be shipped away. I can pretty much get as much as I need anytime for nothing.
  14. Aye, that's the stuff.
  15. Hello, has anyone tried putting thick plastic pipe through a wood chipper? Would it be advisable or not? Someone is asking if I'd help recycle old fishfarm pipes 4" pipe about 1/2" thick wall. I'm wondering if it's too much strain on the tractor and chipper and also if the plastic dust might gum up inside. 170hp tractor with TP chipper.
