Or you could just change blade, also a ten minute job! I'd go TCT blade everytime if cutting sub 30cm, only advantage the chain machines have is able to do bigger timber.

Booker writes for Daily Telegraph and his columns are usually detailed and well researched. I didn't read Mail article but this was published in DT few weeks ago http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/11305122/Forget-your-gas-cooker-were-headed-for-zero-carbon-Britain.html

Palax firewood processor. Cuts up to 300mm

I don't have our blades to hand so don't know the exact teeth/rake details. One blade though, which looks similar to ebay one, is prone to snagging and the others aren't due to angle of teeth - they have anti kickback feature also. They don't cut any slower than the more aggressive one but with a smoother action too. Probability of snagging will also depend on what machine you have too and how restrained the timber is plus size of said timber.

Very good article and covers lot of good points - with no focus on softwood planting where is tomorrow's commercial timber going to come from plus the decline in jobs. The UK debt being out of control is well documented, the trade deficit not so much: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-30585540. If we could get some kind of balance into out forestry industry we could create jobs from planting right through to milling and cut down on imports.

It snags and jams.

I didn't know that about vat, are you sure? That blade looks quite an aggressive cut, not sure if best for cross cutting firewood

Cutting Solutions is who we use, good prices and service

I know what you're saying Treequip but if within your width/length/lighting & signage/ weight specs etc then you're legal. From what I can see Eddie is trying to establish those specs in black and white so that there is no ambiguity whether legal or not

Apologies for derailing Bgt's thread but did I know see a post on here from German climber which said they don't loler climbing kit in Germany but instead use common sense when to chuck kit?

"I wonder how many second hand chippers will be up for sale in the new year??" And firewood processors during 2015

Hope everyone's had a good Christmas. Will have parcels of birch/sycamore good processor size available from early 2015, can be cut to required length if required. Quantities available will vary through the year depending on job, was getting £40p/t roadside in 2014 so looking for similar. Softwood available too, usually some windblow in the mix so nice and dry, again can be cut to required length, roadside price will vary depending if bone dry blow or still green. Looking to build long term trading relationship with serious player, no tyre kickers please, payment before uplift. Timber usually located West of Glasgow/Stirling area Drop me a pm and we can take it from there

I know where you're coming from but it's far easier to fault find in hydraulic system

There is a setting in iPhone/pad to switch location tagging off, I'm sure android will have similar.

I don't understand what half those hoses are doing, there's hoses going up outside rear of cab on the left and on the right. ..There's hoses going up inside of cab

About 5 years ago I got new boiler stove, new oil boiler, accumulator tank and all installed for under 10k. I sourced the stove myself and the plumber didn't fleece me on boiler etc. I went for accumulator tank as growing up with space heating stoves I always found it was feast or famine - either it's out or house was roasting. The tank lets me keep a store of hot water, the downside is oil boiler isn't a combi. There is adjustable thermostat on tank and once up to temp the pumps kick in automatically and circulate so that doesn't boil over.

College and what the industry really needs
Wood wasp replied to MWArb's topic in Training & education
Haven't read all thread so apologies if been covered: in early nineties I worked in construction and the firm recruited the apprentice then sent them to college, few weeks at a time first year then day release second year. The practical work learning and college stuff worked hand in hand -
Anyone used levers like these??
-
Only major difference between oil and gas in my experience is oil is marginally more expensive and you have to take hit of filling tank in one go. My current system is oil boiler outside coupled with boiler stove inside and accumalator tank in attic. Both systems work well on their own though usually I have stove on so use very little oil.

They're not secure as such but depending on your location what can help is the noise made getting through them. Company I worked for twice had them attacked with stihl saws but we were located in industrial site where other units had night watchmen, both times they heard the noise and knew someone was getting done over and called the police. One of the security guys actually went out and made himself visible so that criminals knew they'd been spotted. 3rd time the warehouse got done over they smashed in through the brick back wall and emptied the shelves right up to area where the alarm sensors began, obviously an inside job.

Hello, I'm going to rewire crane electrics on my Osa 250 but instead of refurbishing isp card/boxes and existing levers I was thinking of changing to new levers with integrated adjustable ramp/speed. Something like this: http://www.mascus.co.uk/forestry/used-electronics/icm-435-icm-425-styrspakar-timberjack-mini-brunett-rottne-ponsee/pmphuoxj.html This should give me far simpler wiring. Anyone ever used them or foresee any issues with what I'm proposing? Thanks for any input
