Not sure as I got it second hand and it does not say on it. It's DR and has a Kolher 6.5 HP engine on it. Not self drive either. Over rough rutted ground that would be nice.
-
I also find that very hard to believe. If they are that good surly there would some more domesticated versions brought to the market. Yes they are large and unusual but needing an 1/8 of the fuel would be very enticing. Never used one so will keep an open mind but seen the Hookway retort demoed and that needed plenty of fuel to get the wood out gassing.

Brilliant in nettles and docks. Least good in the foot high grass due to clearance issues. It does the long grass but I dont take a full width bite on each pass. If you had a more gutsy one I suspect it could take the whole width of the machine and have the power to throw it to the side. Might try and take a short video sometime

I had it in my head that it was from measuring a chemical analysis of the gases to determine how complete the combustion was but in the thread on Navitron Ivan said " The efficiency is calculated from energy content of fuel vs ratio of heat lost up the chimney vs heat lost from the stove. I'm not sure of the exact calculation, but it's a standard controlled test procedure."

Steve there does seem to be a problem. I have notifications of new comments in a thread but when I click on the thread no new content has been added? Also just noticed a thread a long way down the page that supposedly the last comment was 18 hours ago someone posted in 8 hours ago. It seems things are not updating
-
I read something about how testing was done from a guy involved in the development of the Burley. The percentage figure is derived from measuring of the flew gases and the efficiency of conversion but nothing to do with how much heat ends up in the room. Edit. Did a search for where I read this but looks like I was talking tosh haha https://www.navitron.org.uk/forum/index.php/topic,10364.0.html

I dont think the particles that cause the problems are necessarily visible. Sure it must be better if run it hot and clean to the naked eye though.
-
And another that sounds like it belongs in the early 70s but is bang up to date

Just heard this on the radio. Took me back to listening to my brothers records for the first time.

Is there any new legislation? I thought they were just throwing ideas about at present.

Got one and I dont like it. The bar is thicker and deeper. Works fine if you have nice straight larger wood but is more prone to jamming with medium sized twisty wood. I have been using a pair of the Oregon bars but they are now heavily worn so trying this. It's thin like the Oregon bar and I suspect much harder waring if my other Sugi bar is anything to go by. Just got to adapt it to fit.
-
Hi Rob. Great service and the bar arrived this morning (very nice ) Slight glitch in that it does not quite fit the spacer properly. Taken a picture and you can see the gap and how it touches front and back but not in the middle. Now pretty sure I can grind off a bit at the back of the bar without ramifications to make it seat nicely. Doesn't matter if the groove gets a bit shallow right at the back as the chain line misses the back of the bar anyway. Any thoughts on the matter? Also anyone else want to pitch in with ideas?
-
Makes sense really. If you are paying for logs it's going to be costing you you more than heating with gas. Should others be paying the price for bad air quality for what in that situation is just a lifestyle choice? Different equation if you are getting your logs for free.
-
Yes a nudge the right way would be a good thing. How about EH make examples of severe repeated offenders and it might scare the rest into action. From what I have read elsewhere they do little to nothing about those who are blatantly burning wet wood and making large amounts of pollution.
-
All sounds very wooly. From the BBC "But a Defra spokesman told BBC News that open fires, coal-burning and wood-burning would not be nationally banned. Instead, new stoves – including wood-burners – would have to be cleaner. And people would also be encouraged to burn dry wood, because it emits fewer particulates." What does encouraged to burn dry wood mean? Not banning wet wood but your very naughty if you use it? Sounds like more unenforceable nonsense

These details no longer working? http://www.loadhandler.co.uk/contact.htm

Great feedback Mr Hook. Which size Remet did you go for?
-
Still mulling over getting one of these. Anyone got anything new to add?
-
1. Watching the blackbird getting worms out of the lawn for his breakfast 2. Sunrise. Seen it a thousand times but it still warms the cockles of the heart. 3. The smell of the morning dog walk on Dartmoor. Gorse, May blossom bracken just the smell of freshly wetted ground.
-
We got one of these and now rarely pickup the strimmer.

Petition to save The Expanse (brilliant sci fi series)
Woodworks replied to Big J's topic in The Lounge
Got halfway through the first episode and gave up. So it gets better? -
A mate has one. It's not bad and cuts well but has been in for service quite a bit. This may be down to poor fuel as the guy is not great with machinery. Got a Mitox leaf blower myself nothing fancy but it starts and runs OK. Probably the best of the cheaper Chinese kit out there. Mind you if I was wanting a cheap saw would probably get a SH Husky.
-
Seriously guys take your f...ing politics elsewhere. So sick of it on Arbtalk and it's undoubtedly why so many members dont come on here any more
-
No I am not talking about the 3 in 1 sharpener which is good but the glasses! Always been pretty pleased with my sharpening but I have got to that age where the sight is not what it was. Been in denial for a bit and only used the glasses for reading but finally succumbed to them for sharpening and have to admit I should have started using them some time ago. Saws and processor are cutting markedly better so a cheap investment haha

2009 Hilux single cab. BFG AT's lots of short hilly trips 25-27 mpg Reliability. Perfect in the 18 months I have had it.
