Tractor log splitter for long and short logs?
william127 replied to william127's topic in Firewood forum
What do you use to cut them to log length? Thanks -
12 bags of hardwood, was only going 500 yards though

Not by me, it's by chance that I have makita not Milwaukee, I was about to buy the Milwaukee then I found my makitas on a great deal so got them. My dad has the Milwaukee stuff and it's just as good, except the grinder feels very clunky compared to the makita.
-
I put a tub of 500 2.75 decking screws in and ran the radio all the next day with 1 4.0 Makita battery, brilliant.
-
Makita for me, my dad has Milwaukee and they are just as good but have the slight advantage of the battery level light being on each battery, not the tool.

I am doing our village fete on Sunday, mainly to sell Swedish candles but also to try and get some summer log sales, problem is I have no leaflets or posters done and no time between now and then.luckily I have a big stack of business cards.

Tractor log splitter for long and short logs?

It's a question for the future really, I haven't even got any logs to do at the moment, thanks for the offers though everyone. -
And me, I started driving land rovers and other trucks the afternoon I passed my test, since then I have only had a 2wd for about 6 weeks, and that wAs always rammed full of tools and materials.

Woke up at 5:45 today and yesterday, for no reason at all.

Has anyone got a tractor log splitter that can do lengths of about 1 meter and also works well with short, knotty rings? Thanks, William.
-
I made this, and apart from about an hours work and a couple of welding rods it was all free
-
Pile of wood.

My digger with the tooth and thumb clearing up a big wind blown poplar, so easy! Was going really well until I tore a hose, took 10 minutes to replace but 20 minutes to get in and out of all the gates in the field.

Has anyone fitted there car/van with an aftermarket radio that has a built in sat nav and hands free kit? If so, where from and what make? It will have to be a single din unit that has the screen that pops out. Thanks, William.

The 3.0 is 157hp, and it's poor reputation makes it the best value 4x4 you can buy as far as I'm concerned, I will be buying another this week or next.
-
In general I use both, i chop and change between them as I split. I only have a cheap axe and a stihl maiul head on a replacement handle, I mean to get an x27 one day but only seem to see x25s for sale round here.

Yes they. Are slow(pre td5 anyway), noisey and leaky, but that can't come as a surprise to any one who has done the tiniest bit of research. Mine is 25 years old, currently only 2wd and the cab leaks like a sieve but I know I can take it out, load it up to its full 7 ton train weight and plod. Along keeping up with lorrys all day long. To put it in perspective the other day I watched a 10 year old ldv with 1 ton of soil on and no trailer go up the hill outside my barn and it needed 1ST gear to make it to the top, my land rover can be at maximum train weight and. Go up the same hill in 3RD, and it's 15 years older!!

Would a PTO chipper realistically fit on a landy?
william127 replied to GTS's topic in Large equipment
Because a transit/defender/pick up with a chipper on the tow bar can deal with about 1000kg of chip(leAgally), while towing a trailer that weighs a third of what it can tow. Put the chipper on the truck and spec a lightweight 3.5 ton trailer and you could deal with up to 2.75 ton of chip in one go? It would have to be very well designed and laid out though. -
Only seem to be able to attach one picture at a time at the moment.
-
Thumb welded on, more of it painted green and this bag lifter made:thumbup1:
-
235/85 bf MUDs for me, writing definatley on the outside!
-
Well it wasn't in the timescale I mentioned above but I finally got one it's currently half way through a coat of paint that I haven't had time to finish( maybe tommorow) and I keep forgetting to take pictures of it working. It has already dug out and levelled about 250 tonnes of soil and type one, and earned a 7th of its purchase price in a week:thumbup1: I have got an rsl ripping tooth which is brilliant, and a thumb which I really must get fitted as I have a big poplar tree to clear up in the next couple of weeks.

No security gaurd or something.
