  1. The uniforest looks like a nice bit of kit. Any idea of price on one? I'm looking at bigger splitters with pto hydraulics rather than my cheap ebay job I have ( i can only split into 65 cm long billets)

     

    Sorry for the hijack

  2. That flail is fitted to the din plate. It's has the hydraulic pump built into it with a tank as well. The pto runs into the right place on it as well. Basically it was built to fit a mog. It's now fitted onto a square cab mog. It's a good package, Swings 180°, good reach and was used with out an stability measures but only close in. The problem you will have is finding one over here. You would most likely have to go to the continent.

  3. Need to have a pretty well controlled one. This was ours on a burn last year. Would not want anything flammable remotely close when it's going full chat.

     

    Funny enough I've just been watching the video of yours working! (I'd never hear of a charcoal retort till I just Google it and found videos on YouTube)

     

    I've been looking at kiln drying timber and always wanted to try charcoal. Looks like I've found my way to do both :thumbup:

  4. Out of interest, have you looked at a 1400? Or 1450? It's a good physical size for domestic and will hold its own in the woods, good horse power ( about 150 - 160hp from the factory) and the biggest power in the small mog chassis. I've a couple of friends with them, I was suprised at them. I'd have gone straight for a 1600 or bigger if I was looking for an upgrade till I'd seem my mates.

     

    Otherwise, I've heard alex price has a nice 1600 in at the moment :thumbup:

  5. I disagree. I have a hydrocut screw splitter. It is great on most wood but recently I found it to be crap on Ash which even when split hung together as it was quite stringy. Otherwise it is a great splitter, simple, strong and quick

     

    Agreed. I've also had problems with ash and having to pull apart the final strands. They split hard wood quicker than a hydraulic splitter and are impressive on knotty bits. I think there are 2 splitters available from hydrocut. One has a small screw and then there's the contractors which has a larger diameter cone.

     

    Saying that I have a cheap £600 off eBay hydraulic splitter :thumbup:

  6. Just started a clearance job at what used to be RAF Church Fenton, old Sgt mess still there with the accommodation and boiler house, this part has not been used for nearly 20yrs and is quite eary. [ATTACH]216040[/ATTACH][ATTACH]216041[/ATTACH]

    Been a while since I was on RAF Church Fenton site. I worked on the airfield side mostly.
