  1. Just waiting to get a price of a local machining company to make me another set of knifes out of a8 tool steel, shattered knifes could be a to hard or wrongly heat treated steel?.
  2. I went through a phase of using carlton chain on my small saws never again, buy cheap buy twice.
  3. Get out of the Eu and finally put it to bed.
  4. We used to take the older Jd tractors to 10 thousand hours plus, now with the new ones they are changed every five years and they are never out of there five year power guard warranties.
  5. Haven't seen a turtle dove for a long time now,nice to hear they are still about.
  6. Just a thought on brash feeding issues could the feed roller springs need looking at?
  7. BBC new ss sir Richard Montgomery ww2 ship near sheerness.
  8. Start polite explain this is why we do it this way if still no understanding find someone else.
  9. No problems Dave anything to help cheers Simon.
  10. When clearing out my grandads garage after his death I found four German ww2 incendiary bombs,he was a air raid warden,when examined they were all still viable.
  11. Dynamite leaches nitro glycerin,TNT is a totally different explosive,TNT can also leach accelerants,Dave and his stump grinder would be seriously compromised if the shells were still viable.
  12. Anything old and leaching we would blow in situ, to dangerous to move.
  13. I'm not surprised people ran, most ww2 explosive contained varying amounts of TNT with other things mixed in, overtime exposed to environmental conditions it can become extremely unstable.
  14. The shell on the right looks like a German pak 40 75 mm anti tank round, the shell on the left looks a little bigger in diameter in the photo and with two drive bands looks like a he shell.
  15. I'm on my third km 4 mix now they seem to last about four to five years with me before the end of the exhaust valve breaks of and holes the piston,only ever used sthil red oil?
  16. Sometimes the fine is the cheapest option compared to the financial gain.
  17. Also I think one of the problems of using big chippers everyday is the weight of them,the American machines are built like Second World War battleships,they like there steel.
  18. That's why a winch helps with the output of the chipper,drop large chunks winch them straight in.
  19. The hydraulic top crush is very effective I am surprised British manufacturers haven't twigged this yet,also the size of the infeed is important to enable the first part of the fork to be chipped and weakened then crushed with the hydraulic top roller.
  20. Thanks bob,that makes sense as what I have read about them is you need a fair bit of diesel with wet wood to get them going.
  21. Not quite sure on the science of a air curtain burner but that the temperatures of the burn are so high that there is virtually no smoke pollution,good for site clearance,but if they were that good I would of thought we would have seen more of them.
  22. Your not wrong,couldn't be arsed to put the trailer on left it to tomorrow as fancied a pint.
  23. Yeah the ones I have seen state side are a roll on roll off skip with the fan one end with the ducting round the top to create the air curtain,apparently they are very effective when up to temperature.
