The new steed. Won't be this shiny for long
-
Great looking truck there
-
Used to have a Big Douvre. You could use it with the doors open but it didn't chuck out much heat like that. Much better with the doors shut. Also remember changing lots of pieces of glasses and drilling out screws Got replaced with a 12 kWh Woodwarm and would never go back.
-
Yep. Should have pushed for it sooner but just hoped there might some miracle cure down the line. Once the dealer knew I was not going to put up with it they were pretty good.
-
I was going to ask if I could have a load but don't think our little outfit could handle 800 tonnes
-
It's gone. After a bit of a scrap the dealer has bought it back for a fair price. Picking up an 2008 Hilux tomorrow Leaves me with a bit of contingency money for inevitable bills of an older high milage truck.

And then you open the door to put a log on, empt ash or light a fire. All of these can chuck ash into the room. We work on the ignore it system until the spring and then might have a clean up
-
I had a go on Matt Stores one. Not sure of the tonnage. Nicely made and plenty of push but what put me off is A the small blade and B the blade is very close to the main frame upright. If you have a log flare side down it was hard to get the blade onto the wood and was liable to push the log out instead of split it. Great if nice parallel logs but poor with misshapen lumps. This was a few years back so they might have altered the design since.

Indeed My sister lives out there and is terrified of this loony but neither of us thought he would win. Lets hope the senate can keep him in check

Only seen workshop ones like this Jet AFS-500 Air Filtration System - Air Filters - Dust Extractors - Machinery | Axminster Tools & Machinery. Might be OK if you could hide it away somewhere. Just looked at domestic ones and you pay a hefty premium for a bit of beautifying

They move to country and want to buy into the small, local and green business. We appreciate this and try to deliver a product and service that will not make them look elsewhere.

No most customers are city incomers with money not many locals on our rounds.
-
Amazing the difference a few miles makes. Never been asked for kiln dried and never seen any around here. Not complaining mind
-
Hope your wrong TCD. I would have thought the small sellers in sparsely populated areas should be fine. Presumably to go down the RHI kiln rout you need a fair sized set up so large turnover? If yes to sell enough logs would end up covering a large area to get the sales and I recon too many miles for delivery can be the killer with log sales. Fingers crossed as have no intention to get big and fit kilns to stay in the game.

Which was your favoured brand Steve? I used Rustins Danish oil for many years but now prefer Liberon finishing oil. Less messy on the hands, drys a bit quicker and a higher level of protection. Be interested in which brand you recomend
-
what logs have you been chopping today!
Woodworks replied to william petts's topic in Firewood forum
I can handle some arbwaste from time to time but that huge pile might do my head in Good on you, looks like you move one hellava lot of logs each season -
Riko do a couple of machines that might fit the bill. This is one of them https://www.riko-uk.com/product/72/435. Not seen one myself but Riko are not known for selling trash.

Saw an impressive demo of the AMR trailer mounted, petrol driven spliter at the last APF. Way more than Oxdale money though
-
Ah sorry. Get your batten spacing right and it falls into place. As just said presuming a level of competence with practical matters
-
Yep very straight forward. As said get your tile spacing right and it all falls into place.

Very profound

But we often have plenty of wave energy when there is no wind. Low pressures way out in the Atlantic can pound our shores with waves long before we feel the winds from these systems. Think we need to do every option available to us then will still need some fossil fuel and nuclear on top.
-
Nice idea and with a bit of scratching around could probably do it but the Isuzu was my first foray into new motoring and is going to have wasted a small fortune in my world so not keen to dabble with new again. Have a warranty on the Dmax but that has meant nothing when comes to DPFs. Just think with what I will end up with from you know who I will have enough to buy what is generally considered a near bomb proof truck and have a bit to spare to deal with any problems that do materialise. Just it will be 6-8 years old with 100k on the clock not good when I put it like that.

Don't think 3l is option on single cab but could be wrong?
-
Got to get a new single cab pickup. Completely sold on a Hilux but cant suss out out what year and spec. This is what I want so what models fit the bill? I do log deliveries (short trip so don't want DPF). Loads could be up to 800kg but 1000kg would be nice. Single cab with a large load space. Towing a 1000 kg trailer at least once a week for an hour or so. Occasionally a 2600kg on steep Devon lanes Not a lot of milage say 8000-10000 per year. Air con as it's seems the best way to clear condensation on soggy Dartmoor days. I want to buy once and keep for many years. So what should I be looking for and don't say Dmax Thanks Beau
