  1. He stipulated 50cc ish .....
  2. My Spud ported 346XP 15" sugi light bar , full chiz chain driven by an 8 pin powermate . As fast if not faster than a 550XP without any of the potential A/T stuff .
  3. If its running like a carrot does not matter what bar you put on it . Just a thought ?
  4. Air wash goes from top to bottom as well . Need to check that the vermiculite cheek board is fitted the correct way round on the left side . It has a sloping top edge and if fitted the wrong way round allows more air on that side .
  5. We had similar . Had a burn up on some WSCC land . ( to difficult to extract ) mostly Oak . Out of the hundred or so cars parked in the area there was one guy who demanded 400 notes for a respray coz of " ash damage " We decided to offer him 200 quid and he snapped it up . It was worth it to save a complaint to West Sussex CC .

    If you don't spell it " dawg " you will go to prison:biggrin:
  7. Sounds like he was deflecting you as he was not going to stock them any more . They certainly don't " waste " heat being the most efficient stove on the market . You can put your hand on the slabs mine stands on so that is bollox as well .
  8. It handles rings better as they are flatter and wider and more stable ( resist the possible tendency to flip ) . The one in the picture above has the screw to far above the table IMHO .The closer to the table the less the moment of leverage is lessening the tendency to flip . I think they work very well but the essential thing is they must have plenty of torque . They dont have to spin fast but they must not stop turning under load . If that happens you waste all the time you gained over a hydraulic splitter cutting the stuck log off .
  9. Yes . There was money back on returned bottles Like Pinks lemonade and Tizer , soda syphons and other stuff . All died off with the advent of the " cheap throw away " culture .
  10. Marginal but still worth it I recon !
  11. We use to do that years ago . I am ashamed to say as nippers we used to go to the village shop . pop round the back , pick up a couple of empty soda syphons and take them back in the front for the money ! I was only about 10 years old .
  12. Hears a tip ! Send it to spud for a port job . You wont regret it .
  13. Agreed on the above ( along with the 242XP ) but becoming harder and harder to find an old school soldier like the 254 now !
  14. As others have rightly said the margins on fire wood are ridiculously tight . How ever I do remember when one guy started in my village. He had a saw , a small Massy tractor and a Hycrack cork screw splitter running of the tractor . He bought round wood from West Dean estate and worked on one of the farms during the summer . He is now the biggest supplier of fire wood in our area . He has a top spec processor 2 big JD tractors a forwarding trailer with timber crane and a bunch of blokes working for him . He is a real grafter and I have known him since he was a 12 - 13 year old beating on the shoot . So , it can be done but it is very tight and hard until you have enough capital to make it super efficient . He still work all hours because that is who he is .
  15. In a perverse way I also have always wanted to be able to do that
  16. I would have taken what he offered and then return some of the brash and snot to the equivalent of what was owed .

    560xpg vs 6100

    I use 50:1 but the bottle offers the choice of any thing up to 100: 1 but being American it is in ounces ! I decant into a known graduated bottle to get my 50 : 1 .
  18. I am the same age and agree with what you say as long as the extra couple of hours of " nonsense " did not include snapping the chain brake on at every opportunity .......
  19. He plugged a cable in so leccie from somewhere .........
