Is biomass usage sustainable and as green as it is made out to be?
Stere replied to Pete Mctree's topic in General chat
UK etc has offshored all the manufacturing jobs and the pollution they cause to China, so we still get the cheapo stuff but without the smog. Kind of like how all the so called recyclable stuff ends up dumped abroad also. -
Any easy way to test % of battery degradation? Im sure my makita 5.0ah ones don't last quite as long now after 2yr use, as compared to when they were new. With the price on thoose backpacks would be nice to be able to test in few yrs time how well they are performing compared to new.

Don't they have special chimney filters? -
Would be better for theese chainsaws if mains had 3 phase. UK's new homes 'must use modernised electrical supplies' - Energy Live News WWW.ENERGYLIVENEWS.COM The Renewable Energy Association and Western Power Distribution say this would enable more clean technologies... 3 phase is standard to houses some EU countries.

Have an older version of a Makita UC4051 without the new easy chain tensioner. Used it for yrs fairly regulary to cut up firewood. The only thing replaced so far is the carbon brushes and new chains and a sprocket. Husky model looks identical to the makita.

Batteries best niche atm i reckon is toppers and as an alternative for the "odd job" small saw. snedding fencing smaller jobs etc. Cross cutting a load of cord /firewood will drain batteries fast so suits corded better imo if mains is availble. Offcorse both saws & petrol is even better. A few branches to cut up - cordless . A big pile of larger meduim diamter stuff - get the corded out. Large diameter rounds of hardwoods - petrol.

What are thoose cages they look good?

Can see gas hobs being phased out replaced & by induction.
-
Chainsaws in space suppose a battery one might work.
-
If just cutting logs in yard better off with a corded electric saw as probably cut logs faster.
-
Take it you are on mains gas so a one gas will be cheaper ans less hassle unless you can get wood cheap?

Dancing robots Should teach em to use chainsaws.

Shame nothing like that EMT stuff the yanks have in uk? The gedome i saw had galvinzed metal tubbing of some kind but maybe they used a hydraulic press? Yeah other option was 32mm mpde black pipe but the boling it in oil bit made me apprehensive is it pretty straight forward? Step-by-step guide to building and erecting a geodesic dome using coppiced poles with plastic end connectors WWW.LOWIMPACT.ORG Info articles on low impact living 22mm is abit thin for the hazel diameters i have Also wanted it easy to erect dismantle so some way of securing the rods in the hubs that is fast. One i saw had poly cord attached to the rod ends but can't rember how that secured them to the hubs.

Shame thoose species don't coppice (apart from yew?) Is the retaining wall drystone or concreted? Drystone are would be better easier to repair if roots are pushing it down. https://www.drystonewalling.wales/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/ClawddConstruction.pdf Many clawdd(also cornish hegde) have mature trees on top and roots push the stones out bit they can be repaired..... So leave could trees alone repair wall as necessary?

Gives you extra reach saves bending saw feels more balanced, ergonomics etc Can be useful to have that length to cut mutiple stems all together @ base of hazel stools.

Are thesee echo saws on rubber or spring av mounts?
-
I tried a 12" but didn't like it went back to 15" on a ea4300 whilst coppicing hazel.
-
Maybe there two approaches? Smaller scale as mostly arb waste logs but they often aren't suitable for processer Or go big volume, large investment in machinary, & buy in loads nice straight cord that can be done with a processer etc. Marketing is important also kiln drying etc
