Ah my mistake, it shows my prejudice though as I dislike towing. My bateson tipper would easily handle that and was quite low but you can't get tyres for it now.

You'll be lucky to get a 3.5 tonne tipper under 2 tonne unladen so that will only allow a freeboard of 200kg for driver, kit and consumables. Maybe better with just a dropside body, lower too.

That's most likely iron from the chain that's filed off and reacted with tannin in the oak.

I would have been happy to finish that off for firewood if it were a little closer and £250 would easily cover the cost of disposing the sawdust. That looks about 4m3 of solid wood and would sort all my logs for the coming winter.

Me too, I consider it foreign invasive. Not good for much other than if your paid and harvesting by the tonne

Touche, yes My first pint was a Double Diamond and I was in school uniform, some years before.

IIRC you don't bypass the microswitch on the engine cover as it is normally open and closes to earth when the lid is off. Pess the reset for 3 seconds and try again. @Jase hutch should be along to answer soon.

Gasoil (red) is more viscous than kerosene (yellow) and needs a pressure jet nozzle to atomise the liquid so it will burn. You tend to find it in older and larger installations. At my last work, before I installed gas, if the red diesel tank ran low I would transfer some 45 gallon barrels from the heating tank. As long as I ordered less than 2500litres I was only charged 5% Vat, which is a domestic heating rate. It didn't make any difference in the long run as we reclaimed VAT but it reduced cash flow for a while.

I agree ships and planes may be worse but certainly don't know the relative numbers, trains only use about 1% of our total energy consumption and a great deal of that is electricity, so presumably a small amount of particulate emissions. With fallout of PM2.5 from Planes and ships often being over oceans how much does that mitigate compared with little diesels used in an urban environment? Yes so am I but I have questioned the significance of PM2.5 exposure in the past. Although not a smoker I did have a lot of exposure to diesel exhaust in my working life and do experience breathlessness after mild exertions nowadays but I suspect there is more in it than that. Government takes a vast amount from the population to fund itself and public expenses, they are having to face a massive change in vehicle fuel duty with electric vehicles and loss of rates with online shopping going to foreign (non tax paying) entities. They will be looking at how to fund themselves in the future and this may be a small part of it. We thought we were a post industrialised society having found the holy grail of an exportable service (financial expertise) to cover our balance of payments deficit from importing goods, now that is severely compromised it's going to be interesting times.

Not for cleaning stove glass. probably better for dealing with stray virus at the moment Expense when water is good enough for fly ash and oven cleaner for tarry deposits, which of course don't happen with a good burn of dry wood.

Which is a logical development and why petrol engined chippers may become more viable, having a lower capital cost and the difference in fuel cost will be less. Longevity of engines may be an issue though. Also domestic heating will be excluded and therein lies the problem, whilst there are few domestic properties that use pressure jet burners anyone that does will be able to have red delivered. As I think we established horticulture includes work in domestic gardens (and I wonder if the current position statement on allowing that roadside hedges and trees can be worked with agricultural tractors using red diesel will stay) we will have the problem that if you take your diesel powered machine to work at a commercial premises then you may not use red.

Main advantage of twin rear wheels is not having to worry too much how the weight distribution lies between the axles

'scuse my ignorance but if the insurance company know what its used for and the value is agreed what difference does it make apart from 50mph on single carriageways and 60mph on dual?

It's not so much a difference of opinion but rather a difference in preference, there may be a number of good reasons for preferring one power head, simplicity and capital cost being a couple. We had a thread a while back on whether one could run different power heads at each end but in essence it's similar to pushing a broken down car, you may be big and beefy and able to exert a force of double what an 8 stone weakling can but would you turn down their offer of help. as you will both be working at the same speed because the car won't move any faster even though you may be doing double his work he is still contributing a third of the total.

I would worry that as ash contains silica it would be a bit abrasive and might dull the glass. I agree with most that just an occasional wipe with a damp cloth gets the build up of white fly ash off. If something has gone wrong and there is a tarry build up it will normally burn off in the next hot fire but something caustic , like oven cleaner, will shift it. You can make a solution of potash (less caustic than oven cleaner which tends to be sodium hydroxide) by passing water over wood ash in a coffee filter

@renewablejohn have you experimented with grades and translucency of the sheet for covering polytunnels? As I said I was proposing corrugated PVC as a longer life cover and high light transmission because it works so successfully at my home but woould like suggestions for best cost-lifetime cover. I think the wood will sustain about 80 tonnes/annum for several years and adding value would seem to make sense over selling in the round.

Ideal for that, it was so tempting to use a top handle one for that job. If I were going for a new saw a conventional handle one like this would be ideal for home logging, quiet and when the battery runs down I could have a rest rather than fill up and start again.

No one left to answer to now. The MF35 always was a pig to start, the later 35x with the three cylinder engine was better. Before I got to it it had been left with no antifreeze and a piece had cracked off the block by number 2 injector, I araldited it back in and ground off the lump so the injector clamp no longer bore on it. That one ended up being sent to Pakistan, after I had used it to haul elm cord wood on the buckrake and various other jobs.

That worked for me for 35 years, mind I tried to get it delivered in rather than roadside.

Seems reasonable to me, the disease is out, low mortality in the under 60s and the viral pneumonia is treatable in intensive care, so the slower the spread the more chance us oldies have of getting a bed in ICU.

The hydrogen from the ruptured bags went upward and only burned as fast as oxygen diffused into it, your oxygen and hydrogen were premixed as they were produced at anode and cathode of in the same cell. I did the same with our old MF35 in 1972, I knew both batteries were knackered so I was in the habit of sticking the starter boost on my oxford welder across the terminals I disconnected the clips before switching the welder off.

Nor would I I do too and cut and split them, none of it sees the inside of a kiln Tell me more, I know of a couple of heat pump installations that were abandoned but then I know of a few chip and pellet boiler installations which were failures. I know when I sold logs that none of my customers used them as their main heat and at £100+ for a bulk cubic metre I cannot see how they compete against other commonly available fuels.
