Loving the ass-less chaps! And Laurel, FL looks rather comely as well...

I have an 18m rope, I think it's actually the one I use most!
-
What... TWELVE metres...? Sorry...? You mean double the length BEFORE I cut it up...?!
-
Fair point! I get vertigo just watching them on Youtube!

Matches, diesel, bale of straw and a tractor with a buckrake, or loader & fork. You're going to have a big old pile of brash when you're finished, even after sorting out the firewood! Burning on site rules!

I can't really answer that one with conviction because I've not done it myself, but as I understand it, when 'students' go there travelling, they just pitch up and use the local rag or word of mouth with other travellers, or an agency. But those jobs are more menial tasks I think, basic farm labouring, call centres, that sort of thing. If you want to do arb work then you are probably best off contacting employers directly from here and explain what you're after and how long for, just as if you were looking for temp work here. Once you find someone who will take you on you can book your flights, get your working holiday visa and away to go..... Try this site... Backpacking Around Australia | StonedCrow

Good link, I'll try them Adam! I reckon CPL are fleecing me!

Funny, that's the detail I remember too...

Hmmm.... I smell a conspiracy.... How does anyone get a look into a marketplace which has been so totally dominated by one saw...? When it's replacement comes along, the machine which will no doubt stitch up the market for the next decade, you pay loads of people to say it's rubbish.... Who would know...

Who's doing what then Ted...? Nice kit there too, Terex looks like a super little tool. Where were they filmed...?

Slowly easing your weight onto a loose hitch can allow it to slip, I find that with a VT, but as Drew says if you drop onto even the loosest hitch quickly though they will usually grab... certainly enough to prevent you hurtling to the ground at terminal velocity...

Have you thought about laminating it and displaying it on a stick... you can just point to it then!

200t release date and what % of arbs use them?

That's what I meant.... I got confused... I've had a long day....! -
A working holiday is different to residency... the occupation list to which you refer covers what areas there is a shortage in so qualifications in these professions will ease residency applications. If you just want to go out there for a year you just need to apply for a working visa for that time, you don't need experience or qualifications for that, it's what backpackers go out on, my bro in law is off there on one again soon.

I'll suggest the same as I did to someone else... Survey Monkey my friend! Brilliant site. I reckon if you balloted this site you'd get a pretty accurate sample... -
yeah... I'm not too fussed about her getting anything to be honest.... what's that thing where she's a vampire...?

Balls to the leggings!

Interesting... I hadn't thought of that.... I have the airing cupboard directly above the second 45 degree bend in our flue, I could bypass the chimney all together and take a new flue straight out the register plate & up through the airing cupboard, loft & out of a new cowl.... and make it nice and tall so it draws better.... hmmm... ideas....!
-
I think it comes down to flue efficiency, how the chimney draws, how much heat output you're after etc... I could keep ours in all night on wood, but I'd get bugger all heat and a lot of soot. I heat a [relatively large] 4 bed house off ours so I need to keep it ramped up to keep the rads warm. This is partly to do with the pipework runs we were stuck with in our funny little house.... needs a lot of heat to get round it all. The main reason I burn smokeless at the moment is just that, we're in a hole with a bendy flue so I need minimal smoke, otherwise it billows out of every joint and fills the house up....

In fact... maybe that's what it was.... Millenium Stihl....? Just a thought... I'll get me coat... -

MS must have come around the millenium... I bought an 019T in approx 1999, and an MS260 in 2002.... Couldn't be any more precise than that though I'm afraid.... -
No, you're right, the odd one will class all arisings as waste, some just cut. You just need to find someone in your area who does that and, most importantly, be able to clear it when they say so, you'll need to do it as part of their work, or pay them to deliver it to you. You'll then need to season it, you don't want to clog up your nice new flue or get nothing but smoke for your efforts... unless you're fortunate enough to have found something which burns green, like ash. I guess after this site, your local press adverts would be a good place to start looking. And your location will help...

I hired an Eliet Major years ago when I was thinning Ash at home. 'Easy peezy, drop it straight into the wood off the telehandler, wheel it about where I need it' thought I... How wrong was I! It wasn't as good as the Timberwolf as it didn't have a discharge chute, it just dumped it out the end onto the floor, so had to be moved frequently. It also had small solid wheels rather than proper garden tractor jubblies on it, so aforementioned wasn't easy. I found it a cretinous thing to use, slow, jammed the feed rollers easily. Avoid that sort!

Who reconditioned it? My chimney runs up the centre of a pair of cottages [which the latest school of thinking says is the best place for it...] so external soot door is a non starter unfortunately. Is your flue flexi or rigid sectional? I've heard good things about the sectional flues but they're pricey and I couldn't get one fitted in my place anyway.... I don't have an accessible register plate either, I think the previous owners fitted the shower enclosure over it.... This means annual sweeping from above, which means a flue fan will need to be easily demountable. It's all terribly complicated! I'm still yet to establish the most efficient and economical method of heating the house!

What Rayburn do you have? I see no reason why you can't, I think that's a prime example of what they can be used for. I swapped my Royal for a reconditioned Supreme last year, and fitted central heating. We run it on smokeless, mostly because of a very convoluted flue. As you say, it stays in but costs a bloody fortune - even more than coal! I am seeking alternatives! I'm considering a negative pressure flue fan to keep it drawing, then i can revert to hardwood. If I swap to wood I would need to consider installing an accumulator, smokeless has some great qualities which I would miss if I go back to wood. An accumulator would help somewhat.
