  1. Was the customer talking you through it from the decking?
  2. The bottom of your saw will get hotter. Other than that not much!
  3. There are several. Is there a particular part of the country you are interested in?
  4. And also, my local dealer said it was not even available as a spare. He us to straighten up the part I had best he could and refit
  5. Knew what it was before even opening the thread; same thing happened with me its a heat plate I believe
  6. Anyone know the difference between the original version and the 2013 edition?
  7. Too harsh or not? Discuss http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-south-east-wales-41279069
  8. I don't know. It's a nice book but I'm unlikely to ever read it again to be fair. I I've got the body language of trees in mint condition also, I will probably never pick that up again either
  9. don't know what he actually meant by 'marking' you...but in my experiece they absolutely will be looking out for you again. I was pulled over once and was about 600kg overweight. I was with Andy Collins at the time. I took on board everything the VOSA guy was saying, asked the right questions to show that I was concerned about not being overloaded again, and was let off with a caution. He did however tell me that i was now in the system and next time i was overweight I would go immediately to court, no questions. 2 weeks later I was driving along the A14 and they pulled me over again...but they were watching for me, I believe something was triggered by their cameras. I was approaching a flyover and could see a police car and a vosa car parked on the bridge...the police officer was out of his vehicle and leant into the vosa car having a chat. Something triggered his system and he went runing back to his car, down the slip road and pulled me over. I had a level load of beech wood on this time and was 4% over on the front axels. They allow 5%, so I got lucky. I learned just how little you can actually carry on a 35.t truck that day.
  10. That's the version I have, almost mint condition gathering dust on my bookshelf
  11. Try not to buy too much at a time or I will just drink it consecutive nights till it's all gone! whih Italians did you buy?
  12. I'm going to try some home brew. Do you buy the grapes in?
  13. What is that book worth second hand these days?
  14. I wouldnt let it being petrol put you off, regardless of what make machine you go for. It's not like a wood chipper that is running pretty much all day every day
  15. So i decided to experiment with French wine. On this tonight, not a bad drop
  16. Good to read you Rupe. Hope you're well. Those self drive ones are the way to go if hiring in...specially if you have a long row of trees to cut back.
  17. Click on the button that says submit advert and follow the instructions
  18. why not try your luck in the classifieds https://arbtalk.co.uk/classifieds/
  19. The answer to your question is most any processor will handle it. The issue you have is the wood you are taking back to the yard could be processed a lot better on site ready for firewood processing. I used to have a hakki pilke 1x37 which would cut up to 15". I would cord everything neatly, trimming off all stubs, cutting longer lengths at the bends so all I would have would be mostly straight pieces of timber, even if some were only 2ft long. The splitting bay would take up to 20" so anything above the 15" would be rung into 10" long pieces. All ads up to slightly more work in the initial stages, but a far more efficient final processing.
