Total novice here..... what about “oiling” it somehow? Protection and moisture in one, so it can dry out slowly and as naturally as possible. Hell of an interesting piece, where have you come across that?
-
I drove past it in car originally and the mrs said “ah, look a dragon” i said yeah right whatever! I nearly didnt spot it at first glance because it was all weathered. Made me chuckle though cos you can see the guys leg hanging out the mouth ?? Your dragon looks trick [emoji106] size etc compliments it well. Wish i had the artists touch with a chainsaw!

I ran an 18” bar on it originally, but just felt it was slightly too much for it when i was ringing up a wedge of beech, hence the drop to a 16” bar and it seems a lot better / happier.

Ahh yes!!! Spot on that man! [emoji6]?
-
No, its a 7t, does fine for me, but i’m not a pro user.

I run .325 on my 026 with a 16” bar and its merry all day long.

I’m not avin that! ? I want a picture of you on said vehicle wearing your parachute as proof!

Could always do your trailer licence, not sure on cost though, mate of mine did his a while back and think it cost about £650, but not 100% sure. I passed in 99 but i’m exempt from the laws because i have my class 1 hgv licence, also another option for ya, but its expensive for that theses days, your up at nearly £3k i think now to do class 1.
-
In that case then, its a combined vehicle with trailer inc its load of maximum 3.500kgs so you’ll lose quite a lot of payload with having a heavy vehicle like your disco to start with. So if your disco has a kerb weight of 2.500kgs (weight of vehicle on its own unladen) that leaves you 1.000kgs to play with. Not a lot unfortunately.
-
I would of thought, if you passed your test before jan 97 (which i presume you did) then you can tow a combination of vehicle, trailer and load up to but not exceeding 8.250kgs. (Dont exceed your plated weights though of what you are running / towing, i.e plated towing weight of your disco might be 3.500kgs and a 16ft tri axle ifor trailer might also be plated at 3.500kgs fully laden, so your mass in running order legally would be 7.000kgs, so if you put that extra weight on your illegal, even though you can legally tow up to 8.250kgs) Thats how i read / understand it, i could be wrong though Saul.

You think it’ll break for the worse? My dad is adamant it wont last and says it’ll turn on us again, harshly [emoji849][emoji849][emoji849] “ever the optimist again father” i’ll reply! I’m a day by day man and what is.... is, bbc weather never gets it right just lately.
