Everyone who is self employed will be affected by these penalty notices it is really like Big Brother. I am already fighting a penalty for not submitting our Partnership accounts online by 31st Jan. We submitted our individual tax returns which include the Partnership figures on time but apparently they want a separate 3 line partnership account submitting as well which we have never submitted before even though we have been in partnership since 1998 and never had a problem in the past until they brought in this computerized system. Makes you wonder whether its worth the hassel of being self employed

Can anybody help in finding steps to fit a MB Trac 1000 cab. The engineering firm doing up my MB Trac who will remain nameless have lost my steps and are prepared to bodge it but I would prefer originals. I would even consider a complete cab and steps if the price was right.

I use kiln dried offcuts mainly Swedish timber to manufacture wood pellets and briquettes the MC is consistently 12% dried in our solar polytunnels. We can go up to a max 15% MC making briquettes but we get into trouble with wood pellets at 15%.

Well spotted. I am aware of anerobic compost digestion systems as outlined by Jean Pain but this seems to be aerobic digestion which I find very interesting.

Perfect pieces Blackburn is just down the road for me and I can supply 10 tonnes but it does help to know what you need supplying and at what rate you are expecting to pay. As an example my product range for 10 tonnes would include kindling, briquettes, wood pellets, wood chip, joiners logs, joiners noggins, and of course split logs.

I was with Alex on the 17th sorting out my MB Trac and he said that he intended to have the Mog at the APF

If is any help I can get IBC containers for £20 + vat or £15 + vat for frames only. Based near Bolton Lancs.

I think you will find it is the equivalent to Yellow Pages for the internet. A con like this was muted several years ago similar to the international directory cons which used to eminate from Switzerland but using internet addresses.The directory would be printed and then you would have to pay for the listing. In the past the model could not be made to work for the internet due to the cost of the names but obviously Yell must have a cheap name bulk purchase rate.

I did like the BGU machine and even considered importing via the Irish dealer after being let down and conned by the UK dealer. If you look on Arbtalk you will find others have had similar experiences, Not disappointed with the Palax and cannot fault Caledonian forestry.

I have a 814 curtain side. Absolute bomb proof but if you need to go off road make sure you get the 4x4 version.

No comment re Perry plant on the forum but needless to say I bought a Palax from Caledonian

Just about to pick up my forward control MB Trac which we have removed the spray tank and boom and replaced with log deck and attached a Kesla forwarding trailer and crane. MB Trac is Ag registered and we will be carting our own timber on full duty diesel. Do I need to be worried.

Firewood sales; a business or a side-line?

bio fuel chipping is viable so long as you own the power station. -
Polytunnel using split logs is your answer but you could do the same with IBC containers and a clear reinforced plastic sheet over the top weighted down with bricks or plastic water bottles attached to string which can move in the wind. Dont tie the sheet down as it will rip with the first strong gust of wind.

Trailer test in my opinion is just a rip off. Guy who is borrowing my horse box for the test is making his 6th attempt today. He is not that bad at using a trailer but has got into bad driving habits which after driving around for 1 hour on the roads are highlighted. Even changed test centres to make it easier for him. Pleased I dont have to take a test.

How about offering to remove the cherry completely and then find some wood turner to pay good money for the fruit wood. Money up front mind you.

Pure propaganda If you understand why Microsoft is so easy to install a virus you will also understand why Linux and its derivatives is so difficult. Quote from a top programmer from a leading brand of laptop computers. Needless to say I will never understand but took his advice and bought Mac.

Mac all the way. Gave up on microsoft when it went to Windows 98 and never regretted it.

P.ramorum / Rhododendron and other host control

Does anybody know what temperature the spores will be destroyed at. Just wondering whether our torrefication process at 230C would be sufficiently high to destroy the spores. If it is then we could sterilize the wood on site and produce an exportable clean fuel product. -
Only worth as much as somebody is willing to pay and once you have bought it you still need to know the tricks of the trade to keep it with a high profile.

Why would anyone buy a secondhand domain name when you have no idea of the history of the site. It could have thousands of complaints listed against it and you would never know until you receive no business. Much easier to buy a new clean name for £20 per annum.

Film crew been down to the farm for 3 days filming with regards to Landshare with Hugh and his crew on River Cottage. Ended up with less than a minute in last years series but they have re edited to about 2 minutes in this years series. Unfortunately cannot go anywhere locally now without being asked questions on Landshare etc because it is repeated sooooo many times.

Website should be reported to trading standards as I have yet to see logs dried to 7% moisture content unless it has been kiln dried.
