Would you give a ball park figure for installed capacity and production? -
not PUWER compliant but you would only need to fix the plates in the IPTO clutch pack together but it may be just that the clutch pack isn't being energised. The linkage pump has a small gear pump in tandem with it, this small pump activates the IPTO clutch when the PTO lever is moved, it simply blocks the dump to tank with a ball bearing, so all the flow goes to squeezing the plates together.

Whereas if you take the heat pump subsidy you cannot have a gas supply.

It doesn't surprise me as his are niche high added value projects and your 100 tonnes gets you into the realms of industrial wood.

Strangely he doesn't mention the Interpretation Bill "in which ministers will strike out findings from judicial reviews the government did not agree with" nor the bits of the police bill that make trespass criminal acts which will inhibit the right to divert around an obstruction on a PRoW. I think he's got it right about the PM not being a bumbling idiot but taking us for a ride, we can see that from the cronyism that has run unchecked. The ghost of Pastor Martin Niemöller should show us that it is not impossible for this to happen in our cosy little world.

Maybe the van delivered the chipper and then fetched the trailer to a convenient spot. It worked.

Dropped kerb planning rejected due to RPA
openspaceman replied to Gajendra's topic in Trees and the Law
I understand that and bye-laws may be different elsewhere but in my street with only houses on one side many of the parking laws are ignored, such as not facing the correct way at night and parking opposite the splay of a joining road, all without penatly AFAIK, and yes visitors to my house do park at my dropped kerb if no other spaces available. -
Dropped kerb planning rejected due to RPA
openspaceman replied to Gajendra's topic in Trees and the Law
The highway code only specifies " where the kerb has been lowered to help wheelchair users and powered mobility vehicles" And also "in front of an entrance to a property" In practice parking on your own dropped kerb is not enforced unless there are other restrictions. Parking in front of someone else's dropped kerb would soon result in them calling the police to remove the obstruction. -
What about the college mate of PM 's that got appointed to head the charity commission and clamp down on "woke" charities without formal job vetting procedures. Mind the charity business needs a thorough looking at; most don't realise the self serving , highly paid staff who get away with excesses because there is no adequate regulation.

Same firm I used, my wife still uses the one I bought 4 years ago and I presented my very eccentric primary school friend with a £200 one in September. He made the mistake of telling me he couldn't manage anything other than Windows but how I wish I had loaded it with Linux as he tips up here once a month near bedtime and starts downloading 2 hours of updates.
-
Yes that is a bit limiting, John McDermott (spelling?) and his son are the only ones I know still operate an 8 wheeler in that area, it puts north wales and norfolk out of reach. William Stafford is the area buyer for Euroforest. An afterthought; I think Tom Bitchener's widow may still run Commercial Woodlands Ltd at Bordon. I knew Tom from a long way back and liked him. @ESS was still in the game but not seen him post for a while

with a load of chip being 25 tonnes and any bars probably the same even though you could use an 18 tonne 8 wheeler for sawlogs you'll be pushed to make full loads. Maybe settle for one load of logs and the rest to kronospan.

One of the mahonias?
-
Yes for top of the range I'm told. I have only recently bought refurbished laptops as gifts for £200 because I'm tight.
-
I couldn'y agree more for my personal use and stick Linux Mint 20 on it to cut the constant updates from Microsoft but a young girl would prefer the £2500k Macbook pro.
-
We sent pine sawlogs to Giddings at Southampton, now part of BSW, and Ellis Sawmill, Helvingham Norfolk but a one off would probably best be sold through Euroforest (spit). East bros took larger sizes if they are still in business.

how long to season Ash & at what point is it fit to burn?
openspaceman replied to AndyChalmers's topic in Firewood forum
I suspect too long to consider. Chop it small and use it, as long as you can keep the firebox temperature up (around 800C) it can burn cleanly but you will need more excess air so a loss in efficiency. I have some cedar logs which had not been split from rounds and last month I split some out and measured the faces at 45% near the bark and 35% near the centre heartwood. Those surfaces are now 10% less but that says little about the insides. A month in the summer at the top of a stack would have got the whole log down to 15%. -
Dropped kerb planning rejected due to RPA
openspaceman replied to Gajendra's topic in Trees and the Law
This is true plus you may park across your own dropped kerb and still deny this to others -
It is what I use too

I retired 5 years ago, introduced myself to you at the APF show that year.

Most likely you would run a heat main from the boiler and thermal store into the house and use plate heat exchangers to supply CHW and DHW in the house using pre insulated pipe and hope the installers don't rupture them.

The 220?? was the best as it was slightly lower and a 10" square feed IIRC, I only watched but if it had turned over at sutton coldfield it would have rolled all the way down and onto the track even though we were a few tens of feet off track. I was walking and using my hands on the slope.
-
I'm so glad you corroborate that I was worried I was doing something wrong. I have found some work arounds as my neighbours would jump on me if they saw smoke coming form my chimney.

Best place or here if can sell whole kit.ie
openspaceman replied to AngrySquirrel's topic in Chainsaws
What can I say other than good luck and best wishes. -
They'll straddle the rail then like they did with the Hilux. Rail Roaders and trolleys only on the rails where I worked but much removal of panels to get machines in for off track work.
