They do. It's called NHS professionals. It's not as well paid as independent agencies and it's undersubscribed.

I don't think you need to remove any pipes. I think the ram somehow disengages with the front of the box. Try levering the ram upwards (not too hard) near the front of the box with a bar and pull the box away from it at the same time. I may remember wrong but I would give that a go.

Ah missed your pictures. Yes your pin should now knock out but looks like it needs a bit of WD40 to help it on the way.
-
So this is the retaining pin and the top of it. Mine just has a 10mm bolt holding it in place. The welding is just a washer thats fixed to the back of the pin but maybe the design has changed. The end of the ram I think hooks over a notch inside the in feed box. Lift the ram manually and pull the box out at the same time and should release it from the end.

Pleased you had good care eggs. It should be something to be proud of but frankly it is shambles at times. My mrs is a nurse and had various family members in and out of hospital lately. It's good if you have something clear cut but when it comes to more complicated diagnoses there is no continuity, notes are lost and endless repetition of tests. No specialist at the weekend so if you don't get discharged by Friday you will probably have to stay in all weekend until they are back on duty. Beds cost a fortune per night and there are loads of people wanting to go home who cant until all the paperwork is done. There will never be enough money for it to do everything perfectly but it does seem management is appalling. Still glad we got it though

If I remember rightly you remove the retaining pin at the back of the ram and the bolts on the underside of the guide which I mentioned on an earlier post. 12 and 13 on page 48 of the manual. It's a two man job and requires a bit of wiggling to get it out. You may need to remove a few guards as well but I don't have any so wouldn't know. Farmi operators book WP36-EN from serial 150040.pdf

I ballsed up the in feed table on mine when a skinny piece of wood got drawn in between the in feed table and the fixed part of the in feed. Now have little bracket underneath so wood cant get drawn.
-
If the in feed is sloppy crawl underneath (when turned off ). You will see two nylon cubes with a bolt through them with a steel plate between on the centre line of the processor. These are the guides and do need occasional adjusting. Undo the bolt and turn the nylon cubes through 90 degrees. Makes sure the in feed is fully down and tighten the bolt between the cubes while making sure they are in the uppermost position possible. Hope that makes sense when you get underneath
-
I get it, space is precious. I only do a couple hundred cube a year but they take up a lot of area. I have crates dotted around the field and then around half our barn space filled with crates. Then there is the cord being bought in advance. It all adds up and our set up is tiny in comparison with some of the boys on here. At the moment the logs in crates in the field are getting wet due to driving rain and fog. I bring them into the barn but with 98% humidity they don't shake off that surface moisture very quickly.
-
I would love to build a kiln and run it off branch loggings made from brash. Build the boiler into the kiln and not have to use water as means of energy transfer as I think this is whats required for RHI but seems a waste to have boiler separated from the kiln and have lots heat wasted along the way. No idea if it could be done but maybe one day.

Mine were every bit as tough as the Oregon chains. Cut lots of very dirty oak last week and they stood up very well. Reading back through this thread just looks quality it a bit variable. You could get and excellent one or a not so good one. At half the price there is bound to be some compromise.

What is the shortest logs you have been asked to supply?
Woodworks replied to cessna's topic in Firewood forum
We do a sub 8" which is just a bunch of short end logs chucked in a crate and some small diameter branch material that does not need splitting. Probably do 10 cube of this a year strangely quite a bit goes to a lady with a Rayburn as apparently it needs short logs Never been asked for 6" but could cut some from billets if required but would charge a premium. -
Looking to fit one and change the radio at the same time so any recommends for head units for the truck that will take a reversing camera? Currently planning on this one but open to suggestions Pioneer MVH-AV280BT Double Din Blue...

Best mainstream 4x4 pickup for towing 3.5t
Woodworks replied to Matthew Storrs's topic in Arb-Trucks
Matt what's wrong with a Hilux? I see the single cab is now rated for 3500 kg and if you popped some free wheel hubs on you could run in low range 2wd. In my hunt for info on DPF problems never found any mention of Hilux's having issues. Alternately might be worth asking a an Isuzu garage if they would personally warranty it against oil dilution. Also chat with Tavi Hire as they run Dmax's and are towing heavy loads all day long presumably without issues. Good luck but suspect you will still have a trusty Defender for some time more -
Same here and just handball them out. Yes it's slow but helps quality control as you pick out all the processor waste and any dodgy logs. I tried this for a while but it's a bit of faf and leaves all the waste in the load plus now we are using a pickup the baby tractor cant lift high enough to tip it out http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/firewood-forum/64594-low-tech-ibc-tipper.html

Another head torch Olight wave. Not found the wave gizmo as helpful as it sounds but a very good, neat, light head torch with enough power for any jobs I need. Also USB charging Search Results

Let the hedge grow up and then lay it. Lots of flailed hedges like that around here get gappy. Sycamore not the best in a hedge but it will lay and pretty hard to kill.

I can find out actual costs from him. As a bystander it looked like a money pit but I am a tight git. -

Not sure £50 a week will be enough Mate had one and it just ate money. -
Got to give mine a better test the last couple of days. Ringing up big old oak. Can't really fault the chain and worked as well as an Oregon.

Woodworks replied to Matthew Storrs's topic in Arb-Trucks
Do the smaller engines expire though? I here of lots of problems with trucks but it's usually electrical or if older rust. I know I had an engine issue but it appears not to be the norm. Only asking the question as not got any experience of bigger engines. Totally understand the desire for a more utilitarian truck though and full time 4wd. Now Landrovers are no longer maybe Toyota might look to bring LC into the UK? On the other hand reading about cities banning diesels completely maybe the days of the diesel are severely numbered anyway. -

A lot less than 40k Toyota Land Cruiser 4.2L SC Diesel - Pick up/Dropside, Price: £21,107, Year of manufacture: 2016 - Mascus UK Out of interest why are these so respected? Less HP than most pickups and less torque with similar payload. -
350 kg is for a loose cube not stacked.
-
A dry cube (20%) comes in around 350 kg and we sell at £100 per cube
