  1. When you say "logs" do you mean red logs (aka mini / 18-30 / ponti spec) or 30+ green...?
  2. Ok. BN Ripper 37 - not bad. Got about a day out of it before accuracy dropped off... Cutting softwood (larch). Cheaper to use new blades than resharpened ones that wreck your log and or boards that then need thicknessing or planing...
  3. No Joke. Just to cheer you all up, in 6 weeks time the days will start to shorten again 😭😩🤯. Winter will be here!
  4. Same although it would have to be 8-13 tonner with stroke or roller head (latter for softwood) and the new Farma LF8 for me. Anything smaller just hard work.
  5. EPS 👎 have sent back a few - inc a Ripper 37 🤣
  6. Thank you All for your input, will definitely follow up the suggestions 👍. And report back 😀
  7. Many thanks. The best I've ever had were these FENES S.A grom 35x1.1 t-22 92/16 But cannot get in UK it seems. EPS must have sent them by accident. Cheers
  8. Gettin reet fed up with blade resharpening services. Thinking of just buying new every time. Woodmizer offer Norwood Blades, Ripper 37 is another, some on ebay... Any recommendations please? And many thanks
  9. 2nd of May. 8⁰c. Torrential rain. Wtf.
  10. Christmas! Can F off.
  11. Kelfri is junk. Or was anyway.
  12. Unbelievable. Ridiculous. Jinxed. Fubar. Relentless. Insane. Extreme. Incomprehensible. Staggering. Nonsensical. Lamentable. Cursed. Horrible. Evil. Abominable. Abysmal. In other words, HELL. And the forecast for April is the same. Doomed!
  13. Absolutely batshit bonkers. Had heavy snow last night which actually settled followed by lashing rain and storm forecast now .Never ever known anything like it. Was looking at some statistics; we've had here almost 2/3 of the years annual rainfall already - in less than 3 months. October thru December '23 were the wettest in 30 years. And February and March this year the wettest ever recorded. Crop yields this year approaching apocalyptic failure.
  14. You wanna get into timber. 90+ hours a week at times and rarely if ever over £20k per annum take home.
  15. Well the oil pump runs clockwise end on, so it's what I was taught before most on here were born.
  16. Sorry, should have read the thread to the end before posting 🤦
  17. You rotate the chain backwards?
  18. Re tipex / marker pen yada yada. Can't understand the need. The sharpened teeth are bright, the remaining ones dull. Freshly filed metal is abundantly obvious.
  19. And so it goes on. An on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on... Game over now for working the job.
