    McDonalds food isn't the best but nor is it the worst, better than they ever seem to get credit for anyway. The litter isn't their fault either it is entirely the responsibility of a small number of their customers. The same people would do the same kind of thing if McDonalds didn't even exist. Scummy people that have never been taught respect and how to behave. DFS seem to be more of a problem around here than McD, never seen a reg number on one of those either

    Probably a more refined search than whet I got

    So modern logburners are designed to keep the heat in? Hmmm.

    I hope the poster was arrested by the spelling police for writing “bails”! where it says he was prohibited from moving, presumably that was only until he put the straps on which were in his cab.

    Have you tried your local ag supply/tractor dealer stores? Bought some recently by the metre for small money.

    Fog was quite pretty
  9. Peasgood
    Thick fog, can see 30 yards at most. Supposed to be a gloriously sunny day.

    Local guy put some on his. Soaked the battens in a ditch for a fortnight as I recall.

    My son set his place on fire doing exactly that. Dumbass thing to do, don’t be a dumbass.

    I thought those plastic shrapnel rounds were called fleshettes, I googled it to check. Google insisted on showing me fleshlettes instead. My God that is disturbing!

    The baffle is only a piece of steel plate. Sometimes with a bit of a bend in it. not a difficult thing to fabricate, especially if you have the remnants of the old one.

    I think the manufacturers name will be in that rusty oval bit bottom right. Give that bit a wire brushing and see if it reveals anything. You might find doing a “brass rubbing” on that bit shows it better. My guess is Aarrow.

    And what are the consequences if it is? (which it isn't)

    The land and orchards have been up for sale for over 2 years, nobody wants orchards around here. They will be turned to grass fields which hopefully someone will want. I still grow apples but have as many as I can cope with or manage. You lot are talking about apple trees in the way you joke about highly valuable black walnut trees. Fantastic until you try to sell it and have the audacity to expect payment. I’ve looked into that wanted ad before, transport kills it or brings it down to local firewood price at best. I think the trim it and mulch the brash is going to be the best version, either that or burn the brash (which is how we have done it in the past). No quick fix on it. Thanks for the replies.

    An interesting question. I have 10 acres of mature apple trees to grub and I am trying to figure out how best to achieve it. What I would like to do is remove the small stuff and keep the bigger stuff for firewood, these are all open centre bushes with a lot of small stuff and a lot of firewood. One option is to chip the small stuff but I have no idea how much that would produce. Is it an amount I could plough in or is it a ridiculous amount I must remove? (I am a pro fruit specialist rather than an arboralist )

    Doesn’t mixing fuels like that increase corrosion of the burner? I guess you would have found that out by now though. Something to do with acids being formed.

    Some folk pay me in cash, they still want an invoice and I still have to charge VAT. It has to go through my books, not least because it will be going through their books.

    Beats me why anyone (especially on here) would buy anything other than wood only. Do people still burn coal/anthracite?

    If your splitter is for stuff too big for the processor then I would go for a vertical. If it is for stuff too short for the processor but not really any bigger diameter than the log in the pic then horizontal is good. Downside of horizontal and big diameter logs is you have to put them through more than once. I have a 20 ton Posh vertical, Hydocombi. Works off pto, my MF35 will run it and I doubt you will find anything it can't split. If you did then it probably wasn't fit for logs in the first place. Mine was second hand but almost new and cost half of that horizontal pictured. Personal choice will always come into it, I would try before you buy if at all possible.
  22. Peasgood
    Horizontal for logs as big as in the pic, vertical for bigger rings. What will you do most of? Any idea of price of splitter in pic?
  23. Peasgood
    Use cash as often as possible for purchases such as fuel etc.
  24. Peasgood
    Rabbit most likely but looks so superficial it could be voles. Voles will do it but not usually so far up the trunk. If the wire was trampled and overgrown with grass/weeds I would say definitely vole.

    I have a Stihl Turbocut and would highly recommend it. Haven't tried any other version but I borrowed one and immediately went and bought my own. Have dismantled some seriously big trees with it, the sort of trees you would normally climb but I’m not a climber (too fat and scared of heights)
