Aslong as you're definitely sure it's all above board, worth asking if you can phone them. I'm rural but I've had plenty of okay experience with my local council, all above board and legal, but planning, permitted development, prior approval including agricultural, change of use and everything in-between is an expensive PITA.
-
Think you might need to look into planning 1st. Anything that large I'd say steel frame and breeze block walls.

Do they need a phone for each headset, maybe using the phone as a WiFi mesh network as that would be considerably stronger. Bluetooth isn't exactly known for it's distance, my headphones for the iPad barely get 6m before they're useless.
-
Fair enough if you can get it as they are built like a tank. I think they're late 90s before they streamlined the numbers. But yeah a bit big for a mf35, even mine bogs down a 80hp at the shaft 4l Perkins with a turbo. I'd rather buy a old machine like that that waste money on tin plates and headaches, buy once cry once.

Think you might have missed a zero on a TP760 price

wet verses dry - chipping christmas trees
GarethM replied to Jen57's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
Or sweet talk a local tree guy for a bit of free publicity. A few council parks departments used to do it for the scouts, a fiver a tree or something like that and the usual local paper wrote an article or two. -
1000 rpm on the PTO is usually around 2000rpm engine. 860 is probably practically on tickover, depending on your dashboard either find the PTO reading or add some revs until your chipper reads around 950-1000

A file.

Well, providing the tractor has dual range 540 or 1000, if it's not sounding like a bag of spanners at 860 then slowly take it up to 1000. I should ask is it direct PTO shaft to the chipper flywheel, 540 usually need a gearbox to boost it and you'd never want to go much higher without grenading the transfer box.

Smoke in the room, Stovax County 5 Wide

Flue temp should be taken only be at the stove outlet, usually a short section of single wall depending on the installation. If twin wall is at 250c it's well beyond knackered it's a fire hazard. Just get reputable stove installer to have a look and see what they suggest or atleast your local sweep will point you in the right direct. If it's been dragging on since it's installation years ago, get it sorted once and for all. -
Car battery and balance charger is the recommended setup. Gives the heater more than enough oomph for starting and cooling down as it shouldn't be just turned off and always good incase of a power cut etc.

Grassy knoll and a book repository are all that comes to mind. Maybe that Gas Monkey Garage ?
-
Are you implying any man fixing a land rover has a big tool, as it usually ends up being increasingly large sledgehammers.
-
Do you need specific safety ones, most places I've been say you should but are happy with over goggles when necessary. Always worn cheapy glasses with plastic lenses, safer than glass and usually on a cheap deal.

Think one of the routes required 100 hours of supervision and training.

That's what a room seal kit does, provides fresh air to the fire without going through the room. And only seal it if you have a room seal kit fitted!. -

Get the installer to fit a room seal kit, if Stovax do one, so you can seal up the old gas fire vent. Plus get them to check the flue with a camera, any decent sweep has one. The draw might be a bit poor on a bungalow, but that's for the installer to check and suggest. -
Haha, the makes more sense 🙂. I thought it was bog standard from WP and couldn't get the numbers to work in my mind as I've a single cylinder silent pack, 2000rpm gets around 30lpm.
-
Definitely saw you coming, even with my fag pack maths, it'd be cheaper buying in seasoned logs. At a generous 6m2 for 300 plus handyman costs, 3 days I'm guessing as it needs double ringing and then splitting. That's £900 of hard work for £600 of unusable and sopping wet firewood. Maybe willow or poplar looking at the bark.

Doesn't show the idiot letting go of the handle and blade spinning like a whisk!.

There's a few on eBay, stick to a brand name tho. There's a Kwikchip at 2.8k, working but with broken stress control. Posch/bearcat and Wessex sub 1.5k, they're more shredders tho, but anything is better than burning. Been there and hated every minute, until I got a TP150. Plus you get immediate results, roll in chop, chip and it's like you were never there 🙂.

You're average fray bentos customer would just write pie in crayon.

Aren't they both little 3,000rpm engines with the same hi/low pump as the petrol?. Unless they had the common sense to just fit a constant output pump.
