milled various thicknesses - went of but used 3 tanks of fuel
and created loads of sawdust - and took hours :eek:

it will probably shrink and split a bit having used it green,
but thats fine for this job. Will leave the thicker lengths in
the garage to dry out a bit before using for a garden bench.
a good day :smile1
more pics from today on the logrover site.

Has LogRover got more than one fuel tank or is the second filler
for hydraulic fluid for the tipper/splitter stuff??

thanks Mrs S, i'll probably enter this and a couple of others in
the May POM then ..
we're in aberdeenshire, and those woods were in the grounds of a
country house where we've been lending a hand clearing up (in
return for the wood).

nat, one filler is for petrol (to a homebuilt 5 gallon tank
behind the cab), and the other filler is for LPG (hose fitting
mounting inside the petrol neck) with the tank under the drivers
seat. Hydraulic fluid is in another tank mounted under the
passenger seat. as you can see, i was running out of space...
lots of pics of all this on the logrover site, but here's one:
