I did catch sight of one briefly. Not a hornet but it was dumpy and black. Almost looked scruffy if that makes any sense. Might try and catch one this evening as Liz has a butterfly net somewhere. Looked up pictures of flying stag beetles and that could well be it. Quite a lot of them about last night that's for sure.

Mate of mine has the Gransfors and I have the Fiskers. He had a go with the Fiskers and thought it the better tool. Only one of them could be displayed in the sitting room as a work of art though haha

Husqvarna saws are sweet enough already ?

Its how I do our own garden hedge. Dont even bother blowing the bits into the hedge. They are slightly visible after one mowing and gone by the next. Got an old Stiga Multicut Pro mower and it blitzes them with ease. It's only a small hornbeam hedge at a bit over a meter so would be one helava lot more clippings to mulch if you had a 4m hedge.

Now £200 is more like it! Is it bulky as there not a vast amount of spare space on a mobile processor

Just had an enquiry from a chap in Weymouth but it's to far for us and not got the time anyway. Sounds like it's several days work if not more. PM me and I can put you in touch

Got a new one on the way so lets hope that is the cause of the problem. £750 for the oil cooler so that's not going to happen. Never overheats when working on my own as the loading time gives the machine a few moments to cool. Normally just a problem on a few jobs in the summer with the right wood and a good helper.

Dont use a greenhouse for planks as it will cook them and they will split badly. When planks are kilned the humidity is closely controlled to avoid overly rapid drying which will cause damage. Best planks are air dried and then finished off in a kiln for the last bit.

Not changed it but took it off and gave it a visual inspection. Looks like new but did talk to Riko who said give it a clean with some petrol but they did not think that would be the cause.

No it was cutting and splitting some fresh ash, chestnut, alder mix. Lovely easy stuff to cut and split. Yours was less prone to getting too hot than this one.

My little Farmi has taken to getting a little too hot when running. Handbook says to stop if the hydraulic oil gets to 80c. Had this happen on occasion in hot weather in the past but today was cool, overcast with a breezy and we still had to stop a few times to let it cool down. What could cause the overheating? Thanks

Book marking them for future reference. My Farmi's conveyor is not in it's first flush of youth!

Love the use of super market baskets ?

Yes I am a member of a BBQ group and if we were prepared to ship there would be more sales to be made. As it's turned out this season has been good and used up all the wood and more we had set aside for charcoal making. Mind you it's probably the best summer we have had here in 30 years so doubt next season will be as good.
-
Agreed. Rained 17 days of the last 30 and had 7" in that period. Any signs of a drought are long gone here. Still pleased to see the back of the heat in spite of the rain that's replaced it.

Looks like you have done well there. Got myself a 2017 one and it's a belter.

Cleanable inline fuel filter advise needed
Woodworks replied to Woodworks's topic in Maintenance help
Thanks. Will give one a go. Was struggling to find one in the UK but tracked one down in China, delivered for £2.20 ? -
Cleanable inline fuel filter advise needed
Woodworks replied to Woodworks's topic in Maintenance help
So are they very fine? The stuff I have to clean out is just fine dust. -
Cleanable inline fuel filter advise needed
Woodworks replied to Woodworks's topic in Maintenance help
No it didn't come with that filter just the one on the far left. Yes tank is always cleaned and the funnel used has a fine filter. Only had a major problem in the dry hot weather so I guess air born dust is sucked in through the filler cap (presume it lets air in to avoid a vacuum). -

Woodworks replied to Woodworks's topic in Maintenance help
The one in the tank is a fine mesh and and I dont know if the sort in the link need the fuel pumped through https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Universal-Inline-Fuel-Filter-Medium/361391018029?_trkparms=aid%3D555017%26algo%3DPL.CASSINI%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160406134228%26meid%3D7c478d7582dc4fd2b51da0028d05853b%26pid%3D100625%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D7%26%26itm%3D361391018029&_trksid=p2367844.c100625.m3682 -
I run a firewood processor with a Honda GX390 engine on it. The snag I get is dust dust gets into the fuel tank and blocks the filter. The filter is screwed into the bottom of the tanks so to clean it I have to remove the tank. Not a big deal but it takes time and this has needed doing a lot in the dry weather this summer. Instead of the filter in the bottom of the tank is there any problem with fitting and inline filter and can you get cleanable ones? All the fuel get filtered when being poured in so I think it is just dust getting sucked in through filler cap.

Personal Injury Insurance - Do you have it?
Woodworks replied to Steve Bullman's topic in Insurance Forum
That's how I look at insurance in general. Save the money and put it in savings or as Matt says accepts that can be cashed in if need be. Might have a different view if things go tits up though! -
It's a mixed bag. I hate being too hot the whole time, having to drink stupid amounts of water and covering the face in sunblock. On the other hand we have been doing a bit of tidying up around the farm and having dry ground that doesn't turn to mud when driven on and being able to sieve out rocks from piles of earth which are now like sand is a boon. Looks like a cool down is around the corner thankfully.
