My advice would be try a foot operated one understanding the risks then decide for yourself. So, has anyone made this mod? Thanks Fonzy
-
The old Posch i had was foot operated as standard and there's a noticeable difference in the amount split in a day between the foot operated and two hand operated. Also on occasions i find i have to use my chest to help which is not good. Cheers Fonzy.

I guess it's all down to the individual. To avoid this thread going down the line of the wrongs of modifying "safety equipment" thats not what i'm asking. I understand the risks. Thanks Fonzy
-
LOL I'm physical proof off that not being the case.
-
Thanks. I plan on having the rollers sitting a bit prouder though. Fonzy

....adjusted the 2 handled operation on their vertical splitter to something more user friendly? Until recently i had a very old Posch foot operated one leaving both hands free. I found this so much more user friendly and most surprising I still have all fingers and both hands intact after 3 years of use. I have a plan to mod mine to foot operated but it will be a bit trial and error to get it right. Thanks Fonzy

Sorry pic 8.

I'll be doing a similar mod to my splitter in the future. My plan it to add 2 rollers to each side of the blade to kick to log open. Some of the new Posch splitters have them. See pic 6 on this page. Spaltaxt 10 Spezial

Exterior Laser Level - Laser Level Hire £35 per week. if you only use it 3 times a year that's good value considering the yearly re-cal will be around the same with not outlay. Fonzy

Spooky! I have just been looking at these also. Very handy time saving accurate piece of kit. I actually got a shot of a building firms topcon for setting up levels for a new shed on saturday. Very simple to use. Down side i guess is a big outlay and requires a re-cal once a year which i think would be around £50 - £100 and yet to find some where local to ABZ but i'm sure there would be someone. If it was out it would be better not having one. I guess it depends on how much you'd use it. I haven't looked but there muss be someone that hires them out? GPH maybe?? Cheers Fonzy.

Someone better let the Scandinavians know as they mainly burn softwood. Douglas fir is a good soft wood fuel for a wood burner. As long as it's less than 25% moisture content of course, same goes for hardwood. There's a big misconception about softwood IMO. Fonzy

Gutted for you buddy. Appreciate you taking the time to posts a warning on here, so thanks. I've seen a few to good to be true deals mainly on gumtree for tractors. They always seemed to be driving a deal though ebay buyer protection but as soon as i firmly say it will work like this, "I come and view I then do instant bank transfer then i take it away" they are not interested. Again thanks for sharing. Fonzy

Sorry the questions for this model, 8 Ton vertical petrol logsplitter Cheers Fonzy
-
Would you be so kind as to answer a question for me. Is the ram stroke length adjustable? I had a Posch which had a similar bar at the back of the box section which was used to adjust the stroke. Thanks in advance:thumbup: Fonzy

-7 currently. Expecting that to climb a little as the snow clouds roll in. 750 ft above sea level.

Thanks for the replies. I'm thinking it's going to be electric. Just to find the right one now. I liked the fact that I could adjust the ram stroke on the Posch I've been using and the quick cycle time. Cheers Fonzy
-
I'd appreciate folks thoughts on the above. I'm after a new table splitter and was just thinking petrol as thats what I've always had. I curious of the electric driven ones as I'm usually beside a power point anyway. I was thinking the electric driven might be cheeper to run?? Cheers Fonzy

90% of my wood is Stika all under 20% m.c. and absolutely no complaints. Agree with the comments above, so much easier to split and quicker to dry. I also find next to nothing left ash wise as opposed to hardwood. I do stick hard wood in at night though to keep her going till morning.

Log Burner - Overnight burning
fonzy replied to Nick Watkins's topic in Log burning stoves and fireplaces
I think your issue there is burning treated wood rather than softwood. I think all wood burner manufactures warn against burning treated wood. All I burn is less than 20% MC softwood which gets turned down at night with no issues. As said the key is regular maintenance. -
But then where do you stop? Circular saws? Strimmers? Nail guns? Hand saws? Sharp screw drivers? I don't think that there should be restrictions on who can sell any equipment. I also don't think there should be restrictions on top handled saws. But thats just my opinion.

Thanks again for the replys. I've managed to get a stihl piston stop for £2.70 delivered. I did try the tap without it but the crank turns to easily. Thanks
-
Spot on gentle people Very muchlay appreciated

Howdy, Looking for the best way to remove the clutch on the 136. I'm guessing I need a piston stop but the ones I've seen are metal and look a bit savage. Basicaly I'm after replacing sprocket bar and chain. I'm also question if it's worth it depending on cost. Thanks
