  1. If these conspiracy theorists want to take us in they need to be a bit closer to reality. I tried 10mins of that but he lost me at the temp of the lake of 50 something F! Saw a program about the lake when the Russians were drilling down to it. The Lake is below freezing but it's liquid due to the presure.
  2. Ash from incinerating plastic must be full of all sorts of nasties.
  3. All up and working. I will improve oil line fixings once I am confident there are no issues. Just got to get some Bio chain oil now.
  4. To be fair to them it can tow 3.5 tonne legally. Local hire place using them for moving plant about and they wont need to be shifting lots of tools at the same time. Back in the real world very few seem to care about being legal. Saw some chaps doing tree work locally and I stopped to see if they wanted to off load their wood. They bit my arm off as they had a long drive home. Looked into the back of their tipper and guided them back to our place avoiding driving past the local constabulary. When they were tipping the load off here I said "that must be a bit overweight". He admitted the truck was overweight when it left the yard in the morning with just the lads and tools! Smart professional looking firm not some cowboys.
  5. It's not an official oil tank just a bomb proof water bottle. Had one 20 years and it's still good so cant see any reason why it wont work for a bit of oil. Was looking at getting this https://www.clarkforest.com/shop/chainsaw/chainsaw-oil/supertack-bio-chainsaw-oil-25-litres
  6. New oil tank has arrived.........
  7. Already ordered parts to fit a separate tank for chain oil. Does the oil on yours get warm due to location? Just wondering if it needs to a bit warm to flow properly or if cold will be fine. Any recommends for a good non fling oil? Thanks
  8. Just spoken to Riko and Farmi have previously said bio is a no go. Looks like some adaptation of the oil line is on the cards.

    560xp bar

    Mine lives with a 20" bar and is used for ringing firewood. Wouldn't want to ask more of it that's for sure.
  10. I know folk making bio diesel had problems with pipes breaking down and would have to change them. Clearly some sort of issue can be had.
  11. My concern was for the running of the machine. A quick google suggests there can be problems with pipes and seals rotting through due to them being incompatible. Cant imagine it would be any worse for chain wear? And yes plan B is to fit a separate oil supply. I have talked about this for years and still not done it but I must change something as getting covered in hydraulic oil cant be good.
  12. Anyone using it in their processor and if so are there any problems? Our Farmi uses the hydraulic oil as the chain lubricant and you get covered in the stuff some days. Sure I have asked about this before but cant find it in searches. Thanks
  13. Makes interesting reading
  14. Yes agreed but if the moisture in logs rules comes in as early as 2020 which was suggested I need a kiln. Spending all that time and money on a kiln and then within a year or two not be able to get wood would not be a good plan.
  15. If demand is crazy as it sounds I cant see softwood supplies lasting long either. with the likes of the Kent power station and endless smaller but not small biomass installation still going in this is all going to go tits up swiftly. I see loads of cleared felled sites but stuff all in the way of new planting going on. Something has to give IMO
  16. With the cost of wood going through the roof due to increasing demand and likely rules on the moisture content of logs coming in what is likely to happen to the market? Wondering if it best to make this our last year and get out quick before we simply cant buy wood due to being a small player.
  17. Spit logs and push the prongs in in the middle. No need to push them in too hard if you have split the log. Cant see the point of just pushing them into the outside of an un-split log.
  18. Liz saw one on the The Farming Forum classifieds but not sure what size it is

    May bugs?

    Yep that looks perfect Geotrupes spiniger

    May bugs?

    They were out and about again this evening. Got a picture but he/she didn't want to pose for the camera and would rather burry itself in the wood chip
  21. Yes but that does not mean it's not giving off the sub 2.5 micrometres particles that all the fuss is about.
  22. Lets be honest though that isn't entirely true.
  23. Is that possible?
  24. Maybe I am getting old but the "humour" on here seems to be getting very course. Seems a shame
