So sorry to hear this Mark. You can borrow my Alaskan if that would help. No jobs for it for several months
-
Got to see this at the show yesterday. First glance it looked a good idea but as you point out that single bolt attachment is a major flaw. Also looking at a video of it in action there was chap spending his whole time spraying the guide bar with lube. Think I would pass.
-
Some detail on their site. Be good to see a video of one action though. http://www.tpchipper.com/news/tp-175-mobile-el.aspx

Did you hear the noise that ported Stihl made!
-
Never been asked for any credentials when buying the proper stuff. No idea what it would be like on wet wood but would suggest it will still be better than anything else you can get
-
Only other picture I took for MR eggsarascal. A small companion chipper to go with the electric one above

Ermm does this not count?

Cant beat Creosote IMO

Bad luck Steve. One of the upsides to going on a wet Thursday is the traffic wasn't too bad. The APF just posted this on Facebook "Our apologies if you had a bit of a delay on the way in, it was just sheer weight of traffic. A lot of people who put off coming yesterday have come today."

Had a great time as always at the APF yesterday. Didn't go with anything in mind just wanting to have nosey round and these two things caught my eye. The first regular processor I have seen that is guaranteed to make perfectly sized logs not to mention it grading out the waste. Secondly an all electric battery powered chipper!

We have a compact Lambourgini. It's 55hp but exactly the same basic machine as the the 35hp and 45hp version. Not run a topper but it can handle a hay cutter OK. Enough lift on the back for a heavy duty Krpan splitter. The loader can work way beyond it's rated 500kg but doing so is hard on the front axles.
-
Eye balling is a doddle. In furniture making we used to check boards with "winding sticks" essentially they are just two parallel lengths of wood you lay across the width of the board with one at each end and sight along the top to look for twist. The MK1 eyeball is an incredibly accurate tool. As for the sag yes everything will bend under load but I still like the idea and will probably give it go.
-
Looks like an Oleo mac to me. The one we had looked very similar and had the worst chain break ever for saw with a break haha
-
Doesn't sound so bad until you think about the leverage of that overhang. That rear axle must be way overloaded
-
Dont you think something like 50x50 steel box wouldn't need any mid support? I just saw it as lovely and simple. Screw on end plates and eye ball them level then drop in two rail sufficiently strong not to sag. Cheap, packs up neatly and you could have long and short rails for different jobs.
-
It does look amateur but solid if in the right hands. I dont like the ladder much as they can flex a bit but that set up right would be spot on IMO
-
Not seen this before. Looks a great and simple way for the first cut for chainsaw milling
-
From a humans perspective yes we are doing OK but if you looked at your world from many animals perspective you would not feel the same. No I am not about to commit suicide but we have chosen not to have kids due to environmental concerns.

Whats not to get? There an estimated 8.7 million species on the planet but just one is causing these and the list could go on and on and on. https://xkcd.com/1732/ https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2014/sep/29/earth-lost-50-wildlife-in-40-years-wwf

Hmmm dont think anyone would like it. Wipe out humans! seriously we are like a plague consuming everything. Making the planet twice as big wont buy us long as we we soon wreck that as well. Happy Sunday evening everyone
-
Hope you find them as good as I have Mark.

Stoves online have a review page that you can enter dimensions on. Dont think you can select eco design though. https://www.whatstove.co.uk/ -

Dads go the baby Burley. It's OK but build quality is not up to Jotul standards with the handle being very poor also it only likes dinky logs. -
Al are you sure it needs cementing back? Most stoves I see use the vermiculite board and they sit lose in place. They usually go in in a specific order so they hold each other in place and maybe there is a baffle that they wedge behind at one edge. I dont know your stove so maybe they are supposed to be bonded back but worth a check.
