Which dealer is this?
-
Many thanks, I can get on and sell the damn thing now I know what it's called!
-
Can anyone tell me the proper name for one of these? It's for making posts apparently. Google has been no help Thanks, Nat

nice looking machine, I used to hire one that worked in the same way, cos we were splitting big timber it used to annoy me having to pick everything back up off the floor to split it again after it had been over the knife. My vertical with a travelling blade was found to be much faster for our timber
-
that's why I want parts, its getting new glass, rope and paint. Should make on it!

You guys are legends. Dims match up with a Yeoman County, She's a 12kw! Bit big for the caravan, anyone wanna swap for a 4kw?!

I'm as bad at posting pictures as identifying stoves it seems!

Guys, long time no see - When I'm busy forums are the first to suffer! Picked this up cheap, needs only a small amount of attention. Its Steel bodied but has cast doors. Multifuel grate is fitted, 6inch flue is rear or top mounted 730mm Wide 440mm Deep 600mm High Cannot find any makers name or model? Anyone know what it is? I'd like to know so I can buy some parts for it. Many thanks Nat

We spent a while processing some big stuff (upto 42") into logs. Mega hard work. Ringed them up then backed the 3pt linkage mounted splitter under them and split away. If they were too heavy to move even when halved I'd hold them in the splitter and then rip them in half with a chainsaw. The biggest rings were split on the ground with wedges and a lunatic swinging a sledgehammer. (He was a bodybuilder and was wearing his slippers at the time!)

Took us 2 hours from the top of north Yorkshire on Wed morning, on site by 8am, we came off the A1 at the A57 over the toll bridge and then down the A1133. Straight over the roundabout and into the showground - never stopped!

I pay £114 a year for my 1972 Leyland - Insured for ANYONE to drive. But it doesn't include hauling timber. Doesn't say anything about split logs tho eh?
-
Yeah, we used to fit those little clear inline fuel filters with a paper element into the fuel line on Suzukis. Are you sure the tap isn't turning off? IIRC you have ON - RES - PRIME They are a vacuum operated tap and don't let fuel through unless the engine is turning over.

We were doing .6cu dumpy bags for £40 this year. Gone upto £50 this year.
-
I've just put one out for £25 delivered. I'm burning sw at home at the moment, doesn't last as long but keep piling it on and its toasty.

If current work ever dries up I'll surely be in touch Gray. Chris, I packed in there a few years back, went to work for a Landrover garage, didn't like that so went to work in a hire shop as a driver and fitter. Got bored of same thing every day so took a big step of quitting a well paid fulltime job to be self employed. I usually charge £10ph which is a bit cheap really, but I'm making enough for now.

I'm self employed - generally working for other people. My work ethic is Always Punctual Always Polite Get on with the job If I've nowt to do - Ask - If theres nobody to ask - Tidy up! Phone stays in the car unless I'm lone working. I've got no chainsaw tickets - but have quite a lot of experience working with machines from 12" to 36" I own 15 Chainsaws... I can drive anything you want, skid steer loader, telehandler, >200hp tractor and trailer, Mini digger, dumper, MEWP I hold IPAF tickets for boom lifts, LANTRA for Counterbalance FLT and a Trailer license. Did I mention I've 10 years experience repairing 2 stroke and 4 stroke small engines, Mowers, Ride on mowers, strimmers, chainsaws and hedgecutters, along with being trained by Stihl, Mountfield, Hayter, Briggs and Stratton and Husqvarna in this role... Its a real shame I'm flat out working for farmers at the moment - I'd like a go in the arb business.

Link to Youtube above. I think I want one - this ultimate tool is surely gonna consign my MS260 to the scrap heap once I've used it.
-
Well they tended to get tipped into the shed or bagged/netted once the inner m/c was >25%
-
Have you considered making an elevator/conveyor? Not as troublesome as you think. Its a common industry, and a lot of stuff is cheap and standardized. You can buy all the standard side channel sections off the shelf, rollers are simply hex bar, a bit of tube cut to length and a plastic bearing in each end. Belt is most expensive, plenty people around to make one, motor and gearbox is what you need to find second hand...

We had good results using IBC cages to dry wood, they're roughly a cube, well ventilated, stack well as long as you don't bend them too much with the tractor and when empty I can carry them about. Just used to chuck a rigid plastic sheet over the top. a bit of rain onto the sides doesn't seem to hinder drying at all.

North Yorkshire - Scrap/Unprocessed wood wanted
Nat replied to Johnnyboxer's topic in Firewood forum
I'm in Northallerton. We've usually got bits and bats lying around to move. I've got stack of old indian stone crates and pallets that you could have for free if you just want some burning wood. -
Its a Clinton D35, Made between 1959 and 1964! 95cc and Supposedly! 6HP. Seems to be rare thing in the UK, no collectors value in the US. Snapped up from a farm sale for £30, mainly because it was 100% complete with a good chain. No spark, brown juice in the tank. Popped flywheel off, shone up the points and set them, pulled tank, and carb, card stripped and checked, found to be clean, the fuel pump had caught the gunge! New plug fitted and she went 5th pull. Hilariously loud, had it cutting, very slow, no way is it 6HP, but it does only rev to about 4600! Gonna try and get in the timber working area at a local rally later in the year with it.

Need I say any more? Anyone know what it is?

Dude, with enough time, skill and a welder and grinder - virtually anything will fit under there.

You'll learn that having good equiptment in top notch condition makes the difference between making money and losing money on a job. Having a 2nd machine as backup is ideal.... Obvs this is dependant on having funds for a 2nd machine but you cannot run a successful business with poor unreliable tools.
