No I can see that but surprised you lose 5m. Thing is around here it's all permanent pasture yet still every hedge you see is flailed annually. Their loss I supose.
-
eh. Hedges are either flailed, laid or left to grow around here. How does this effect the usable land? Letting them grow gives our sheep good weather protection and a crop of fuel that has prooved more profitable than the livstock Managing the hedges for wood is labour intensive in comparison with flailing every year but not sure it costs much more in the long run when it's all added up. http://www.organicresearchcentre.com/manage/authincludes/article_uploads/project_outputs/TWECOM%20ORC%20Best%20Practice%20Guide%20v%201.0.pdf

If you making lids make sure you cut the angle the right way. Hard to explain but you can get an overhang all sides of the IBC if you get it right

Sadly don't have this displayed on the base model.

Had some useful but depressing advice from an Isuzu service chap (not local dealer). Simple answer forget anything with Euro-5 for doing short trips. He said I could get a garage box of tricks to do a regen cycle to clean the DPF. Not got prices but looks like the only possible option if I want to keep the Dmax. His recomend was older Hilux but does anyone know when the Hilux went from Euro-3 to Euro-4?

Don't know for sure what the trailer holds. Spec'd at 6 tonnes but know idea how you could get that kind of weight on it. Recon with 8' lengths of nice straight stuff 2-2 1/2 tonne and if twisty less. Not sure what the trailer and crane weighs but must be another tonne. The tractor pulls it easily but it's very easy hall of a few hundred meters on a shallow slope. It's made my life so much easier as had to process in the field by the stack but can now set up back in the yard with the processor undercover and set the wood up on a log deck. Yes you can ring up oversize easily too. Just suspend lump over flat trailer and ring away. Then slide rings off trailer onto splitter without lifting.

That's depressing reading. Looked at the cost of the DPF additive mentioned in the first letter but 31 euros for 1 can to add to a tank of fuel would hurt. Probably cheaper to drive a gert big petrol. Think a few on here have been advocating the advantages of big petrol beast for some time and looks like it could be the future.

Thanks.
-
Thanks Did the diesel in the oil kill the engine or have they developed a new engine without this problem?
-
Ahh sorry. It is Friday
-
Didn't send one
-
Good tip Writing it up now.
-
Thanks If I was as handy as you with kit Bob I might but not that skilled and with 4 years left on a warranty I don't fancy risking it.
-
Not yet. Taken some persuading to even get them to look at it. If I get them to take it back would be a result. Will give them a chance to rectify it first but not holding my breath.
-
1 year and only 9000 miles on the clock but it's not gutless To be honest there is lots I like about it but fuel in the oil is not one of them
-
This my understanding of what is happening but could well be tosh stocksy.co.uk - Cars - Diesel Particulte Filters (DPF) and Rising Oil Levels - The UK Government Demonstrates the Law of Unintended Consequences Was told the issues had all been sorted before I bought it and sadly it's all paid for.
-
Couldn't say how much it's gone up by volume just an inch on the stick. 1200 miles in 6-8 weeks of mixed driving from 4-10 mile short runs to 50 miles towing on dual.
-
Spoke with the dealer a short time back but apparently this model is up to date with the mods.
-
For general purpose use I like this hybrid Product Details And for delicate work this is lovely Japanese Ikedame Dovetail Saw - Japanese Handsaws - Sawing - Hand Tools | Axminster Tools & Machinery For the job of cutting hefty tenons still not found much to beat a heavy backed western tenon saw.

Hi all. Got a continuing problem with a rising oil level. Had it go from normal level to halfway to max in just 1200 miles. Got it booked in for a full check over but pretty sure there are no fixes available. Believe it's to do with the DPF and short trips gets diesel into the oil but that's my work so can't fix that. It's only a year old and still has 4 years of warranty left. Had planned to keep it for many years but can't imagine diesel in the oil is going to the engine much good in the long term so wondering what to do and what to expect from the dealer. What is reasonable to expect from the dealer and do all trucks hate doing short trips and dump diesel in the oil? Thanks Beau

Probably best to have a spitter with it's own PTO pump. It's what we went for to have a quick splitter. Also watch the weight of the splitter. Our Krpan is the best part of half a tonne and with the amount it overhangs is right at the limit of what it can lift.
-
Great pictures Any ideas on how much a drone that takes those quality pics costs?
-
2 pairs on the Lambo.
-
Yes much better than expected. To be fair I don't have serious hills to contend with but I load the trailer up to the top now but careful to keep the load over the trailer axles to keep hitch loading to a minimum.

Little 55 hp Lambo but the same as Deutz Agrokid
