  1. Yeh, unfortunately we do. What about Sweet Chestnut? Cropping every year is not the be all and end all. But some crops would be nice. Also nice just to have a few Walnut trees regardless.
  2. Why does that not surprise me in the slightest.
  3. I need to get one of them!
  4. You can see that even 22t with the 4 way is not loving this beech. But its still quicker and easier than splitting twice. video-1599413905.mp4
  5. Thats what I used.
  6. You've got 10 fingers, can afford to lose a few.
  7. I find with my 22t with the 4 way splitter there is deffo some strain with splitting sub 14" logs. Soft Wood especially. Its only a wee 6.5cc briggs and straton though, but the Ram is a monster so thats where the tonnage comes from obviously. It sips the fuel. 12 second cycle and an 11gpm pump. My 4 way drops over the single vertical blade, which is a big help when splitting large rounds. I'll assume you'll make a single blade as well and it can just drop in?
  8. Looks great, and an adjustable cross knife will be really handy! Will it be Hydraulics raising and lowering it? What tonnage of force are you expecting? Where is the hydraulic supply coming from? I built one a few years ago and ran it off a GX390 and a 2 stage pump. Think it was only 7t of force though due to smaller diameter of the ram. Was still very handy though. Ended up buying a road tow Rock Machinery 22t horizontal and vertical splitter to save my back.
  9. Thats mad!
  10. I’ve only ever had Stihl. Granted they are always old. ? This replaced my 034. It feels light as a feather to me. I’ve not noticed any vibration either? Use it day in day out at home too. Maybe if I tried a fancy new Stihl I could not go back to the Makita but to me it’s like playing with a toy, a toy with a nice wee bit of power.
  11. I have the Makita branded version. No complaints from me at all. Removed the cat from the muffler and added noticeable improvements. Mine came with an 18” bar and 2 Oregon chains for £250 through amazon.de
  12. My mate just sold his Avant. Was about 3 years old and battered to death. Could not believe what he got for it and neither could he. Sold on the day of advertising.
  13. OK,I'm selling my Alaskan, the 48" bar and the 36" bar. Plus a brand new .404 chain for the 36" bar (cross cut) and also a First Cut system for the Alaskan. The First Cut System is virtually the same as the Panther version in the link below, it was bought off of the same site. Its the same 4m length. There should be some partially used 48" chains as well. 3/8" and .404" https://www.chainsawbars.co.uk/product/pc-20-panther-4-0m-comprehensive-first-cut-track-system-for-logs-up-to-3-5m-expected-6th-june-2020/ The Alaskan has one genuine Granberg leg and the other is original Chinese version, has an aux oiler and bought a quick release system for it. (works ok, again from chainsawbars) Has a winch on it but the last time I mounted it I mounted it on the bloody wrong side and never ended up using it. The Alaskan has been used and abused for about 2 years but still works as it should. I promised a member here first dibs but as yet he's not got back to me so thought Id post it on this thread to see if there is any other interest til he gets back to me. £550 plus postage.
  14. Some nice tips to look out for there. I'll do all that you recommend here. Thanks
  15. How well spaced would you recommend? Some of the websites that sell fruiting nut trees have a good range from timber producing to heavily fruiting varieties.
  16. Well ya got me there! Its sentiments where echoed in the previous link from the Telegraph as well. There was a more technical article I was reading on it earlier, I'll see I can find it in my history. Now whilst you may not agree with the findings Im sure you can plainly see that I was not making anything up. Being as vocal as I am on here and always insisting that statements be backed up with some form of evidence it would be rather silly of me to fall into the trap of exaggerating something like this. For example, all the nonsense the folks on the US election have peddled about Trump not one of them has managed to post a single link backing up their claims. I've no wish to look as retarded as them.
  17. Well give me 5 minutes and I'll fashion my Tinfoil hat.
  18. I assure you I am not. Covid death recount reduces UK toll by 5,000 WWW.BBC.COM Deaths recorded in England had included people who tested positive months before they died. In England, there was no time limit. Someone who recovered from Covid-19 in March and died in a car crash in July would have been counted as a coronavirus death.
  19. Or fell out of an airplane, or died of auto asphyxiation. The cause of death is irrelevant, the point being unrelated deaths where being counted as death by C-19 if the person had contracted it and recovered then died of an unrelated reason. Being hit by a bus is of course hyperbole and was not meant to be taken that literally. It was more to highlight the absurdity of the situation, where someone to have caught C-19 and 5 months later they where hit by a bus their death would be counted as a C-19 death.
  20. Nearly one in 10 'virus deaths' was from other causes WWW.TELEGRAPH.CO.UK Publication of official Government death figures has been paused since mid-July while investigation carried out The Department of Health has been urgently reviewing the way in which it records deaths after Oxford University noticed in July that former coronavirus patients were being included in mortality figures even if they had recovered and then died of something else.
  21. Ok, so maybe better suited for at the back where they would block less sunlight. I'll have a look and see if there is a dwarf variety, or semi-dwarf (if thats even a thing?)
  22. Will plant some of them as well. We've got our first few Red Squirrels now as well so would want to encourage them. But really want Walnut and Sweet Chestnut.
  23. No, in that location it would be more ornamental and also for harvesting the nuts. I have way to many trees round the side and back of the house, but they are all so tall that they block so much light out. I do want trees, but thinned out, not as tall and bearing fruit. Would just be in that red box for now. The other image is old now, Ive removed a lot of trees since that sat image was taken.
