Grade 2 Listed Building - What if different species of tree planted
GarethM replied to NightOwl's topic in Trees and the Law
Zero, why would you think it would ?. -
My tree overhanging neighbours land, Can I prune it?
GarethM replied to milonic's topic in Trees and the Law
So is this guy a homeowner or farmer as access to a telehandler suggests farmer ?. Then to build something new next to a argumentative neighbour with overhanging trees seems very stupid, just to invite problems. Personally I would say solicitors letter highlighting the risk and leave it alone. That way it's on file with a third party. -
Corrected a link to that boiler, is the exhaust fan clean or a bit lacking in power ?. If so a new capacitor might be your first try.
-
Model number would be good, presumably it's solid fuel if you've cleaned the tubes. Vigas 40 LC DUNSTER-SPARE-PARTS.MYSHOPIFY.COM Dunster Spare Parts is a UK supplier of Boilers and spare parts for Vigas, Fröling, Akvaterm, Galú, Esbe...

Start simples, battery pack should start it if has no electrical gremlins other than a flat battery. Next check would be ignition switch personally, especially if it's been left outdoor for any length of time and like a drowned rat. And obviously oil level. Obviously if you know what you're doing, offer peanuts but for a 5 year old machine with 350 hours does fill me with equal measure of oh that's a bargain & it's a solvable bag of spanners.

Is that because quieter ?, always found using petrol became something of a gulag style form of punishment.

A 22ton is around 1.5 litres an hour when the 6.5 Hp is running full scream, you can run them a little slower to save the old ears and make life a little more comfortable as it's not a race. Never tried the MDL diesel tho, but assume anything running at 3600rpm is equally loud regardless of fuel type.

Why am I imagining some waste management style meetings ?.

Standard oil is CST 100 from memory, you've already had a few suggestions such as Stihl. The choice as they say is yours but either way you'll be paying a premium for thin oil with anti fling additive

Woodworking advice needed for fixing wheels
GarethM replied to Steve Bullman's topic in Woodcraft Forum
Presumably it's style over actual function and not to be wheeled around the village selling your wears ?. Maybe just add a couple of legs behind the wheel and hide them behind the spokes. -
Has it lost all the paint or just around the edges, that would suggest it's getting very hot. Usually at refill time I'll check tension, temperature and if it needs a sharpening before firing up again
-
Definitely agree with @Peasgood, more space junk, fortunately it's within our orbit so will eventually return and burn up upon reentry. Just a bit daft everyone with competing systems, Amazon were doing aswell. Surely easier to invest in the land based fibre infrastructure, almost as hypocritical as sky and their net zero pledge whilst firing up a new satellite every few years.
-
Maybe your over tightening the chain causing it to stretch prematurely. I cut a lot of firewood, sharpening regularly so probably 30m3 between chains, but never had one stretch much. It's usually lacking teeth rather than adjustment.
-
14" should be 60 link, i run a 18" that's 74. I'd count the links personally just for my own peace of mind.

Those will be the newly launched SpaceX on the 17th. Over time the spread out into a constellation.
-
End of travel, what bar and chain are you running?. If anything it should be about 1/4-1/2 of the adjustment travel
-
A worn rim will have impressions, surface marks are fine but when it indented it will make for a looser chain and require more adjustment to take up the slack. I should note it's a dark art getting tension just right as it will tighten and loosen depending on temp.
-
That and the yours are so much dryer than the kiln dried ones I bought last, yeah and paying considerably less whilst in the same breath grumbling at the price!.
-
Granted I do use half a IBC as a builders bag, it's a little more generous so charge accordingly but saves on double handling. Customers tend to understand pretty quickly and those are the ones you tend to keep, they may occasionally go elsewhere but very quickly return.
-
Having sold a lot of firewood over the decades, just use the 0.5 as a builders bag example for pricing & comparison. There is no point arguing with customers to gain a sale, either they buy or they don't. Three sizes barrow, builders and IBC.

Think I might have enough for the little condolences card, flowers might be a push!.

It's a bit like having a pissing contest, when he's quite happy being the biggest tool in the toolbox.

Hoisted by his own petard. Some of us farmers do actually look after our gear, and have little need to strip a chainsaw due to stupidity, neglect or hubris.
