Inspired me to clear a load of crap out of the way and get mine out again. Been sat in the barn for quite some time now but fired right up with jump leads. Battery completely knackered (was fitted with a winch and wasn't powerful enough) so ordered a new one. Drove beautifully. Thought petrol might have gone off but apparently not
-
I didn't need to do any welding to fit the towbar to my Jimny
-
I haven't had any for a couple of years but before then it would come in fits and starts.
-
I use a tow hitch adaptor on the front pintle of my tractor to run an electric winch. With a cheap wireless remote it's fantastic and I can fit muck forks to the loader to anchor into the ground if desired
-
They're pretty simple machines. Mine jammed up the other day when a fork went through it but the overrun clutch on the PTO shaft saved the day. The product is fiddly to burn but you can really fill a stove up and it goes for a long time. It gets choked up on brash but it's a decent way of reducing bulk if you don't have a chipper
-
Do they take from cuttings? Tempted to coppice it this year as it's been a mast year so unlikely to crop heavily next year
-
The point of the branch logger is that it processes stuff too small to split. That said, a lot of it splits naturally when going through. Soon be stove weather so will be burning a lot of it
-
Don't the biomass companies have their own chippers?
-
It is very slow and makes it difficult to mow around.
-
If sold cheap then maybe it'll garner some interest
-
Did you read my post? I've tried layering but it's not working
-
Doesn't bark sometimes serve to protect a tree from forest fires and therefore doesn't burn well?
-
I have a tractor with a FEL but it's not a big potato area here so doubt 2nd hand crates are particularly common. I'm currently just storing them in hessian sacks but letting the sticks season before processing (and I know this is harder on the blades)
-
I wanted to propagate a Kentish cobnut by layering but haven't had much success. Was under it today, seeing if there were any nuts that the bloody squirrels had missed, and saw 2 suckers - can I just dig these up and replant them? They're blatantly not growing from the same stool (suppose they could have grown from seed)
