I've got a Nilfisk as well. Better value for money than the Karcher equivalent when I was looking earlier this year. I've got an E140.2-9 S X-TRA which I think has now been replaced by the E140.3-9. Cleaned a lot of patios/concrete and even timber decking with it for people using the patio cleaning head. Been spot on. Got it from this place http://www.brownspressurewashers.co.uk/ but through their eBay site. There was a petrol pressure washer for sale at Aldi 2 or 3 weeks ago, came with a 3 year warranty I think. Seemed good value for the price and a bit more mobile with not having to have electric to power it. Don't know if it was any good though

All still going well mate?

Is Husqvarna XP oil up to scratch for using in Dolmars? Doesn't really tell you much in the spec on the Husqvarna website
-
Did I read right in another thread about Dolmars that you're best off putting a certain 2 stroke oil in? Would Husky XP not be ok? Think it was a thread where someones Dolmar had seized/was knackered.

Been a few threads on here recently about saw benches, here's a couple of them. I've got the Riko saw bench http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/firewood-forum/78812-worth-buying-pto-saw-bench-2.html#post1175410 http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/general-chat/78975-logging-saw-bench.html

But would you pay Dean more for the raw product wood than he could sell it for as firewood?
-
The price they gave me included the PTO shaft and the wheels come as standard. My Balfor saw bench from Riko feels strong enough. I think the advantage of the Balfor not having a full enclosed cradle like the Oxdale is you can put larger timber through. It can cut through a 12" log in one pass. I put the loader tractor with bucket on next to the saw bench so the logs drop straight in then tip them next to my log splitter
-
Just waiting for it to start. Have a few customers that stock up between May and August. Goes quiet for September and October then phone starts ringing in November when it's cold dark and wet and they want it delivering the same day they phoned cos they've got no logs left!
-
is the ratchet strap fixed back to the loader so you can tip the logs out the IBC?
-
It does dry out but it's basically just like balsa. Really light and burns fast. Might as well burn it if you've got it though.

In the 1995 TDI 90 we used to have the seating position didn't seem as upright as it does with this one Jon. Maybe the back rest padding had sagged that much after 182,000 miles it was giving me a slightly less upright driving position
-
Got this 110 loan vehicle at the moment till we get a new 90 on the farm. It's the most uncomfortable thing I've ever driven. The seat is bolt up right. I feel like I'm leaning forward to drive it. It bounces along the road and it's got the turning circle of an oil tanker. The tow ball is too high to tow a cattle trailer and it looks like it's on its lowest setting already. I like the engine though. I hope the latest 90 hard tops are better!

This one? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MAKITA-BMR104-DAB-DIGITAL-JOB-SITE-RADIO-BL1830-3-0AH-BATTERY-DC18RC-CHARGER-/281457607923?pt=UK_Home_Garden_PowerTools_SM&hash=item41882e44f3

I know someone who ended up with 3 or 4 crates similar to that in a container load of kiln dried crates that they ordered from Poland
-
No stihl or husky's what would you be using today ???
Ashes_Firewood replied to predator's topic in Chainsaws
Where do you get bars and chains for Dolmars? And what do you do about parts and repairs if it goes wrong? -
I've thought about doing that as well, bit short on storage at the moment though
-
That's the trouble mate I don't have the battery already so adds quite a bit of extra cost on!
-
Is that the lot at Sedbergh that advertise in the Gazette?
-
Got no WiFi or 3G to use my iPhone where I work, plus it would be expensive if I did have 3G on for hours! Should be able to get DAB ok as my old car had a DAB radio and it worked fine round the area I'm in. I'm wanting one to listen to the football mainly if I'm working at weekends Don't like having headphones in, can't hear or get a feel for what's going on around you with them in
-
Does anyone use a portable DAB radio that they could recommend? I like the look of this Makita BMR104W DAB/FM Site Radio 18V | Radios | Screwfix.com but by the time you add the battery pack on at around £60 and the charger at £30-£40 it's starting to get expensive! Got no power in my building and would like to use it in the woods as well so it needs to be battery powered

Rethink required, billet bundles are too heavy
Ashes_Firewood replied to difflock's topic in Firewood forum
Is this a suitably complicated project for you Difflock? -
The Balfor saw was from Riko maximum dia. it can handle is 12" I can't remember the exact price but it was somewhere in the region of £1100
-
How about this? But with a larger hopper to catch the logs at the bottom of the conveyor!
-
Saw bench without a doubt. I find it a lot more comfortable to use than a chainsaw for long periods of time when logging up as well as being quite a bit faster cutting. No chain sharpening is nice too. I only wish I had got mine sooner. I posted this the other day about my Balfor http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/firewood-forum/78812-worth-buying-pto-saw-bench-2.html#post1175410

I had some hydraulic hose extensions made up so I can have the splitter freestanding and the tractor facing the splitter with a vented bag hung off the pallet forks to throw straight in to then go and stack it straight away once full. It was cheaper than those bag holder frames as well. They were approx £110+VAT for the pair off the top of my head
