I used to pay £35 + VAT for a 9hp grinder, collected. The company I hire from charge £25 +VAT each way for local deliveries.

Tie it round a giraffes neck for the start and tension it with an elephant, run it over the lions pen - should be a good one.

ID needed please, the twin 'stems' is causing some confusion. The first pic is the dead tree with the 2 brackets on, the second is the underside/back of the highest bracket. -
395 including VAT was as cheap as anyone was selling them at the APF and that took bartering below their advertised price. Honey Brothers were advertising at £385 but unlike most of the other sellers there price was excluding VAT!!!

Seen one of these for sale on ebay - how the hell would this meet any safety standards? A guardless hole big enough to take 8" material direct onto a slow moving flywheel that forces the material onto a blade. Maybe it's just me but it does not look like fun to operate [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5D2phEdShA&feature=related]YouTube - firewood processor UK LOG MASTER klapi-tuiko[/ame]

How much is it going to cost you (an extra gallon of fuel so £5) and do you need the sale? £1 a mile over the 10 mile limit as a guide but is it worth losing a sale over?

Use Paslode nails and gas and not the cheap alternatives. I was told by a joiner that it is well worth the extra expense and found it true. Buying nails from ebay saved me loads over the likes of screwfix and in 2000 nails on the last job I changed the gas after about 1300 and had less than 5 misfires.

You are definately missing out, serious bit of kit for speeding up fencing jobs. Will fire 90mm nails into fence posts and bury the heads in by 1/2 inch no problems
-
Hope the outcome is a good one Dave, get well soon

don't think you will get the power for the flywheel

Just done 70ish foot of 6 foot high close boarded fence. Cost me £533 for materials including postcrete and used about 2000 nails in the paslode. Posts dug and installed one day, the rest done on a second day. Charged £1200 and was cheaper than other pure fencing contractors that had priced it, even though I over spec'd it with 4" posts 30" buried with 2 bags of post crete for each post. I only priced the job as I was doing the tree and hedge removals to make way for the fence. Like Ed says it makes a nice change every now and then

Whether you would benefit from another body depends on how much work you have on and how much your time means to you. Are you turning work away because you can't keep up? Would you rather do a load in 2 hours, make £20 less but have more time at home? There is only so much money you can make working sensible hours on your own

I loved the idea but as discussed at the show a turntable mount allowing side feed so you blow the chip backwards into a trailer would mean a 3050kg 110 could be used saving £k's on the base vehicle and legally you can cart more chip in a 3500kg trailer than any 3500kg truck. Change the chip box into a tool box with draws/bench in one side and it will be like a mobile workshop. For those rare jobs where chip can stay on site then just take the truck no trailer. Thanks for showing it

It wasn't that cold (Darn Saaaarf ) and Plippy was still snoring when all the other tents were down. Slept like a baby he did.

Kev Stephenson replied to Dean Lofthouse's topic in Picture Forum
Had dave found a really rare fungi? He was really concentrating on that spot. -
I learnt the southern language thanks to plippy. Not reproducable on here though.
