  1. Never used them but this lot seem to have a large range. Tarpaulins To Go
  2. What are you making TGB?
  3. "Thanks for the offer of taking the timber but it would come back to the farm for firewood." Thought that would be the case but worth an ask Hope you get the job and goes well
  4. You would charge £240 for to take away the wood? haforbes I would happily clear the wood for nothing and if no major hassles may well be able to give you something for it
  5. It's fab out today Jon. Me and Liz are planting up some trees on our hedgerows and it could hardly be called a chore on a day like this.
  6. Hmmm my thermometer says it's 10.6C! A quick breath of the outside air says otherwise. Looks like a new weather station for Christmas. Any suggestions?
  7. It's been lovely the last few days. Working in a T shirt Saturday, Sunday and Monday but a bite in the breeze today put an end to that. Just above freezing now. About time we had some winter type weather
  8. Depends what you call high I suppose. Always found their prices reasonable.
  9. So are you in Devon or Cornwall? If yes what's wrong with Plymouth pallet and drum?
  10. Thought you might have a view on them Matt So apart from lousy brakes, weak hydraulics and scarcity of spares a good machine. I will take a good look at it and may even get to borrow it for a few days.
  11. Thanks What are they like on fuel?
  12. Read this many times on here and wondering why it works. My guess is that repeated wetting and drying cracks the logs so opens up passageways for the water to exit but no idea realy. Giving it a go this coming season as there is clearly something in it.
  13. Just been offered one and not had chance to check over but have been assured it's in good working order and it's certainly tidy outside. It would probably spend a lot of it's life just running the splitter and might add a loader for moving IBCs about. Pros and Cons of these and what's it like on fuel? Thanks
  14. That's a shame. Personally love a bit of time with family and friends and yes even a trip to church. Can't stand all the consumer bul...t but that's not what Christmas is about anyway.
  15. I think it takes less time to give a chain a quick sharpen than to change it. Just get good at it and lots of money saved and no time wasted.
  16. I can't see how solar could be much use at this time of year. I don't know the in and outs of solar thermal but a quick search suggest that down here in December the amount of energy per m2 from the sun peeks at 0.65kWh. Looking at the biomass kilns they are using 180 kWh 24-7 So with 100% efficient panels you could meet the kins needs briefly in the middle of the day with 276m2 of panels! This is where I plucked the numbers from Solar Irradiance Calculator - Useful Sun power tool
  17. And another or maybe a different vid of the first one
  18. OK OK I get the winch is good Snag is it's only and MS460 and I can easily push it harder than the saw is happy with so how can a winch speed things up?
  19. Looks beautiful up there Mull Dry and very windy here today.
  20. Thanks Paul
  21. Had seen pictures of winching. First cut was really hard going then decided to cut down hill. Made an amazing difference. If your winching can you keep even pressure on the mill at the beginning and end of the board?
  22. At long last things have got going
  23. Took our new Alaskan mill for a spin today. Have some good sized douglas that seemed a shame to bash into firewood so going to try and put some of it to good use. Many thanks Rob
