I can confirm above re explosion... Let my stove die down to pile of embers, load up with dry wood but leave shut down and I'm pretty much guaranteed a bang when it finally catches enough to light the gases.

Pads were off it as was getting rear bogies fixed, from memory I think it's got cog like digger has for driving the tracks. As for abuse, all I can say was it has that look. When you see something bent or broken and you think how did they manage to bend that... And there's a few bits on machine like that!

That Komatsu forwarder is in at JCC Engcon just now, I don't think it's had sympathetic operators.

My Old Man has phone with button which if held down will send text with location coordinates to pre programmed numbers. Getting him to keep it on him at all times is another matter altogether. Incidentally, "loan working" is different from "lone working". The former is something the banks would make you do, the latter is working on your own

You've never corrected me, it's this mantra you keep repeating about people not contributing so they shouldn't post I'm discussing. Jon says you're a decent chap so I'm sure you're just not aware that the tone of your posts doesn't come over well.

Hello, I'm on holiday in South France at moment and some dear friends have a pine tree which while young seems to have seen better days. It's just over 30 years old and it seems to be dying back heavily, particularly in certain areas. The mother of the household dearly wants it to to live as she planted it when built house with her late husband. As stated it is in South if France and they're hasn't been a lot of rain last few years plus extra hot summers, not sure if has had effect on it or not. Attached are some pics, any suggestions or tips on how to try help it recover it would be most welcome.

Treequip, I get the same nonsense from this chap. Seems to think he's the arbitrator of what should be posted, I find it easier to just skip his posts and move onto the ones that actually contribute something

Have to admit this is exactly what I was thinking! A sad reflection on modern society.

Capacity of 6 wheeler and drag: Tonnes / M3
Wood wasp replied to arboriculturist's topic in Firewood forum
One that used to lift from me was 25.5t, as said configurations vary. A wagon and drag is overall longer than an artic but as stated can get into places an artic can't, basically due to the "split" being in middle rather than one end. This allows trailer to track unit. Never seen a dolly trailer in use over here but not to say you don't get them.. [ame] [/ame] Edit: here's one with similar trailer as UK units [ame]https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4YqTqS8QvPc[/ame] -
I was just offered £65pt roadside this week for hardwood as simply none around, with Rhi paying to heat your house then I see no change until subsidies reformed. Let me rephrase- with Rhi paying you to run boiler hell for leather Resulting in open windows I see no change.

Wood wasp replied to mendiplogs's topic in Firewood forum
Ha ha afraid not, I'd said to original chap he could have them for £40pt so wouldn't go back on that. Mind you I don't want to work out what 52x25 is! -

I've stopped harvesting operations but still got couple loads hw at roadside though they are committed to customer who's waiting on haulier, was offered £65pt roadside today for them as buyer can't get any from usual sources. Incidentally it's roundwood I used to sell, not "cordwood" Edit: central Scotland where £45 roadside would normally be absolute max -
I've been fortunate enough to travel quite a bit with work and the quote above is so true, the deprivation in some countries is heartbreaking. You may read hysteria in some media about UK poverty and foodbanks. There is no true poverty in the UK

Spares machine fired up and ready for the low loader, sorry to see them going to be honest. I did have an idea about fully restoring the working machine but I just wouldn't have had time.

No I don't work for Frontier

What's the white car in the picture doing? It doesn't look like associated with job but is inside the cones driving on wrong side of road

The waste (corruption?) from things like this exercise me far more than whatever JK Rowling does with her well earned cash http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/nhs/11755878/NHS-bosses-paid-by-drug-firms.html
-
She's not demanding millions, people have a choice whether they engage or not. The tax paid personally by her on an ongoing basis will absolutely dwarf any benefits she ever claimed. Easy - JK is unashamed Labour Party supporter, with both articles urging people to vote for the spendthrifts and direct financial support. Outwith politics I believe she makes substantial donations to charities, from memory this includes a lot of support for one which deals with issues that affected her mother, Possibly Alzheimer support. Incidentally... Look at the work she's created for builders with her house demolition/renovations, gardeners, joiners building her tree houses, people taking four days to trim her hedges, the list goes on and on... This is something that the small minds always miss. This country could do with an awful lot more JK Rowlings
-
She has more than a million and has earned every bit of it from something she's created. Along the way she's also generated wealth/wages/opportunities for numerous other people. Truly a tremendous success story and as a real bonus she's not scared to challenge the SNP, on the downside she's a labour supporter/donator!

If you can get grease into bearing then you don't have a problem, if you can't then you will wear pin and eye of the ram. You don't need a pin puller, at worst you'll need to grind off that wee flat plate
-
Yes I didn't explain too well! The flat plate is to stop the pin rotating and wearing the mountings on actual crane, usually works with basically a big heavy duty "washer" welded onto end of pin, said washer gets bit ground out of it to match flat plate. Other end of pin has hole drilled through it (or may be threaded, or may have plate with bolt etc etc.. Basically just something so that it can't work its way out) So fitting new pin consists of chapping it in until fully home whilst ensuring the two flat edges meet, drop a retaining pin through hole (or bolt/plate etc)in other end of main pin and job done. Check diameters tomorrow and also that no pin still in somewhere
-
Normally with setup like that you hit from the other side as checked side is actually an oversized head welded on, then a flat edge ground off. If it was the actual body of the pin which had been checked then there would be oversized head welded on other side. Is the checked side of pin same diameter as the other side? The retaining pin on yours isn't doing anything unless as Phil says the flat plate been welded on after pin in place.
