  1. I will do when I get home. The ES was built in preparation for the EU regulations that would have come into force here had we remained in the EU. When we left the EU they where stuck with a bunch of 22t splitter with useless and unwanted safety features but ones that can easily be overridden. This is going by what they told me on the phone, could all be BS but rings true to me. Horizontal splitting will be or is banned in the EU supposedly. To save folks backs from lifting big rounds onto the machine. Vertical only. I'll use the vertical for big rounds and horizontal for everything else.
  2. should not be to hard to work out the accuracy of the force. pressure times area = force and all that. https://logsplitterplans.com/calculators/hydraulic-cylinder-force-calculator.htm
  3. £1900 was more than I was willing to spend. The ES is a 22t, but £1500. Its virtually the same machine once you remove the micro-switch stopping the horizontal operation, as per the EU directive. The only thing missing from the ES is the table, but Ill fab my own one up. 22ton ES- Series log Splitter - Rock Machinery - Log Splitters & High Quality Garden Machinery WWW.ROCKMACHINERY.CO.UK After many conversations with both customers and professionals we all agree that the venom 22ton is one of the...
  4. Ive been keeping an eye out for a second hand one for ages and they never seem to come up for sale.
  5. Ive just bought the 22t ES Spec Splitter. Its sitting in my garage but I'll be away another 3-4 weeks so will not get a chance to play with it till then. It was originally £2250, then £1850 and finally down to £1500. Mainly due to the excessive safety features the EU imposed on Splitter, or will be soon. but as we're not in the EU any longer we dont need to follow their retard laws any more. So the 22t ES can only split in the vertical, but this is easily overridden by removing the micro-switch. The two handled operation on this particular machine is one of the simplest to override. Drill a hole in the shaft on the left hand side of the machine 1" further up the shaft and pop a pin in to lock it out. Job done. Ask them to throw the 4 way Splitting head in for free and they will do. Its no longer stocked by them and they accept no come back on it if and when you kill it. Seems like folk have been using the 4 way on large rounds when its more suited to 13" and below. The £1500 includes delivery and I assume the tank is full of oil? Its really a cracking price considering its road tow. Yes only to 45mph but I think Ive read a bearing change and its good to 60mph. Which I'm sure it is anyway, I doubt I'll stick to 45mph when I lend it to mates etc. I too was gonna get the 20t meter one, but once I learned you can mill in the horizontal with the 22t I never spent much time looking at the 20t. It looks very unstable and you cant road tow it.
  6. Surely someone will be happy to buy it of of you?`
  7. Hey Mike, thats very cool, thanks for posting the pictures up! A lot of work and effort had gone into building that box, a testtiment to how well it was constructed considering its still going 10 years later! I think Id buy Logosols new box, its light weight at around 50kg and insulated as well. Looks to be just over £1000 and is built in a day. Easy to move between two people as well. Interesting about Logosol rebranding the Sauno, they do the same with a bunch of tools, the grindlux Band sharpener comes to mind. I think they re-brand their edger as well?
  8. Great stuff! I'll be investing in one of these when I next Mill some bigger Logs. Good to see a demonstration of using a Winch by a competent operator. Clearly demonstrating its ease of use and effectiveness.
  9. Chase what up? Your personal point of view that you failed to convey with the long winded link you posted? No thanks. If you cant even prove your POV with an axe to grind Im sure as hell not gonna do your job for you.
  10. Yehhhhh, thats what I thought.
  11. Thats a darn long article. Im sure there is some incriminating evidence there somewhere. Could you pinpoint it for us, please?
  12. Biden is a kiddie fiddler for sure. The Left know that, in the US and the UK. They simply dont care. They think a pervert who does not know what he had for breakfast is the best hope for the US.
  13. I think you live three decades in the past. The fact someones shown you how to copy/paste is quite an accomplishment. Do you get a cookie for each successful post?
  14. I think he was wanking off to CNN.
  15. Come on now! No ones gonna believe that! Just say they made you do it. The smile was really just a gag reflex, right? Right?
  16. Now we're talking!
  17. Come on now Eggy, all the time you've been locked up? I bet you could suck a Golf Ball through a Garden Hose by now. Sugar coating it would be a Saturday nigh treat.
  18. Which articles? From who? With what political bias? Based on what? You've been Cucked into apologizing for being born into the skin your in. Nothing more pathetic than that. Please offer the BLM more than the token donation you have done. They want much more than that from you, please give it.
  19. If he wants it sugar coated I can dip my boaby in Icing Sugar.
  20. Worse than fuck all. Its self evident and admitted hypocrisy. Means you're worse than those you whinge about. Sort yourself out, be the change you want others to be then come back and have a moan. Otherwise shut the fuck up. Simples.
  21. Not sure if that answered my question but cool rant.
  22. Its total wank. Pure and utter drivel. Now one of the lead Twats of their cause want 14b in reparations!!! I think Id happily give them that of they fecked off, found an island and left humanity to get on with advancing.
  23. Imagine sitting down to dine off of that Slab! Drool!
