    Ok thanks TCD, that's a big difference in price. I assume shipping will be part of it as RL coming in from the states but is there any other reason why RL so expensive? Sorry for derailing your thread

    You can drill a small hole for the screw in end of tape also
  3. Wood wasp
    Once tape connected to reel loosen (Don't undo them) all the side screws round the outside on the side with spring. Holding the outer case rotate the spring section the same direction as your tape winds in, this puts tension back into the spring. Don't overdo it and snap the spring or have the tape coming in too fast. You can always add bit more tension to spring after few trial runs

    I see the red line stuff is 50% more expensive in UK than in USA

    Good to hear John, they have good reputation. I service my kit fairly regularly and will try TCD's Red Line recommendation next time.

    This is my friends and he's got some cracking and unusual trees, the fruit as well is fantastic. It may be of interest to some of you, from 19 minutes onwards BBC iPlayer - The Beechgrove Garden - 2015: Episode 3

    Good thread TCD. I'm also interested in this Red Line oil you talk of all the time. What spec would you suggest for 6cyl turbo Perkins, 1990 vintage? On slightly different track... I got injectors in Lokomo reconditioned but I'd say it's smokier than before. Always wondered if I'd got them seated right or made some other cock up causing the smoke.

    From today's BBC website: Italian police say they have arrested 15 Muslim migrants after they allegedly threw 12 Christians overboard following a row on a boat heading to Italy. The 15 Muslim migrants involved in the row with Christians were arrested in the Sicilian city of Palermo and charged with "multiple aggravated murder motivated by religious hate". The suspects, who are from the Ivory Coast, Senegal, Mali and Guinea, were among 105 migrants travelling in an inflatable boat that left Libya on Tuesday. Eyewitnesses told police how the altercation resulted in Christians being thrown overboard, and that some of the survivors had formed human chains to avoid a similar fate.

    Or too many people

    I just fitted new av spring to rear handle, lot heavier than the original. Unless the spring is broken I don't think you can't get the inner screw out
  12. Wood wasp
    Haven't seen a lot of crackers working but the screw very much needs an operator who knows what he's doing. Better on digger than forwarder, screw into end opening it up then pull jib in with butt braced against blade or log across tracks. Spend some time on youtube and you'll see quite a few working
  13. Wood wasp
    Yes interesting, thanks for posting link

    £46 p/t for oversized oak is under market price? Whereabouts are you and what price is processor sized material making?
  15. Wood wasp
    A Makeri from memory, nineteen eighties I think. They never really took off, presumably due to limited reach and the rapid advancements in harvesting technology happening at the time.

    That's interesting info Wills but with so many customers demanding FSC certified and sawmills locked into the 70/30 ratio of FSC/non FSC I don't see any way around it currently. The FSC scheme is being reformed but not for a year or so.
  17. Wood wasp
    FSC in the UK is a total pain in the arse, given illegal felling in UK is negligible and coupled with an all encompassing felling licence process it's simply not necessary. If you like I can pm contact details for UK FSC chap who will be able to give you accurate info

    That's exactly what I was getting at Daniel. Take them on and either get a kicking or dish one out and bear in mind that you need to drop them to extent they can't get back up again while you're dealing with the others... So then there's consequences for that with the thieving scum now perceived as the victim. Alternatively call the police and even if they catch them nothing will be done. It's a lose, lose, lose situation for the law abiding working citizen
  19. Wood wasp
    They were caught doing that in field near here, apparently it's so they can feel the identifying signal when they come back at night. Incidentally the ones caught doing this claimed couldn't speak English when challenged. As per my post on the forest machine attempted theft/operator assault - how much of this continual thievery are we supposed to put up with?
  20. Wood wasp
    I think if I was in that situation and outnumbered three to one I'd phone in all details to colleagues/police and block road if possible rather than confront them. Hope operator's not been too badly hurt. Wonder what they were planning to do with machine as not exactly easy to move on, possibly remove parts off it? When is plant and machinery theft going to be regarded seriously by authorities, I'd like repeat offenders to be hung, that would send clear signal regarding what society will not tolerate.

    Not at all, if Alycidon is correct then two completely different things... Your combined weight can physically be under 3.5t gtw limit but if plate on trailer says 3.5t then you're in breach of regs. Your car is equally capable of breaching regs at any time (speed limit in this case) but as long as you're not actually speeding then you're still legal.
  22. Wood wasp
    Could be any number things but possibly Pipe/connection from steering and only leaking when under load. Try to get as much visibility as possible by whatever means then getting someone to watch while you use all the functions.
  23. Wood wasp
    Thanks for clarification Alycidon. Doesn't really make sense though, after all most people have a car capable of exceeding 100mph yet the speed limit is at most 70mph
  24. Wood wasp
    Do you need tacho if gross train weight less than 3.5t?
  25. Wood wasp
    Quite a bang when this went off, fireworks for about 5 minutes before something finally tripped.
