love it.No one can see our house we are way off the road and there is nothing better than watering the plants with our natural flow.Got caught once ,two Jehovah witness's walked a few hundred yards up our drive and the dogs never gave any warning.
No Pat, the grey box behind has a two cylinder Kubota Z600 diesel engine in it driving a variable displacement pump. From memory it puts out around 20 litres a minute variable at up to 3500 psi giving 13 tonnes of splitting force.
Thanks Pat. All home built (well, OK, I designed it and put it together and got the splitter parts machined and welded). The enclosure it's in I have designed to keep the noise down, and although it's not bad, it could be better. Think of a small excavator for comparison. I used an exhaust from one of the Kippor generators but it really could do with being much better as it puffs quite a bit.
Thanks CG. I think I would get back ache with whatever way it worked, but there are pros and cons with all of them I think.
. Hopefully the log store will dry it out ok. We get a fair bit of wind here so hopefully it will be ok. If not I can always space the boards out a bit more as they are all screwed on for strength.
How about a video of it chuffing away.No Pat, the grey box behind has a two cylinder Kubota Z600 diesel engine in it driving a variable displacement pump. From memory it puts out around 20 litres a minute variable at up to 3500 psi giving 13 tonnes of splitting force.
True. I only have to look at a log nowadays and my back starts aching..Thanks CG. I think I would get back ache with whatever way it worked, but there are pros and cons with all of them I think.
That shed has only just been built as a log store with 5mm gaps between the boarding. That was its first fill so we shall see how it gets on. We used to just toss logs into a 6' X 8' old shed and they dried out OK in there over a year. That lot was Monterey pine and was very sappy with loads of resin. It will probably burn too well. The cones certainly burned well
I'd love to Chas but I've no idea how to upload one and seeing as Crispin is busy pulling his hair out with his server, I don't expect to be putting anything up soon.
You can upload to Youtoob and post the link I think it can also be done by Photobucket. Yes I suppose Crispin has a lot on his hands at the moment.I'd love to Chas but I've no idea how to upload one and seeing as Crispin is busy pulling his hair out with his server, I don't expect to be putting anything up soon.
It used to be so easy in Tapatalk. I know it's now the stuff of Satan for the techs but I guess I'm just a bit loathed to learn Photobucket or youtoob just now. Maybe I'll get there one day but I guess I've got my heels dug in at the moment.
but leave the upload window open and stay signed into google, or it'll stop uploading. Once it's on youtube they do their own encoding, which can take ages too, but at least they send you an email when it's ready to publish, then you can click publish and share the link.
