ooohhh, that just makes me more determined when thats said to me:thumbup:
-
bought the machine from them, but as for chain and bar........ i by a reel of chain and make my own as i only use half on machine then put it on saw so need to cut and re-link it, bar..... i keep serial number of original bar and get local machinery guys to order it in a sensible man would order 2 and keep a spare (obvously i'm not sensible)
-
nice one is the hole where the red hot paperclip pierced the nail to let the blood out??? been there, done it welcome to firewood!!!!!!
-
A+L all the way with me.......had to leave HSBC, they kept messing things up and saved loads in bank charges too pluss they would not give me a mortgage, been paying overpayments for the last 5 years and halved my balance with them they said " we are not intrested in what you have done in the past, only what could happen in the future" photo for you peter...... have a bad day???

i've got a 5-400 and run it on 540 pto @650 rpm for hard and soft big wood run it on 1000pto @650rpm for brushwood i never run it less than 650 on a 140hp tractor basicly run it as you want, just set the stress control and you should be ok in my experiance!!!
-
mate there is another thread on this with all the answers, a fair guess is its the chain, try a new one when ordering the bar, make sure you give the serial number as it is an arse when the wrong one only just fits....happened to me check the wear around the sproket on bar, that will put chain on angle i only use my chains half way, then change them cos that keeps happening to me........ i put the chain on the saw then and use it all the way down

the best is..............................................your choice after demos and research my best, may not be yours, but could be franks, TCD's best could be daves but not AD15's most importantly the best is whatever you can afford to make it work oh, by the way, i hope you like hard work, getting cold and wet, answering daft questions, jambed fingers, nails ripped off, bruising, sawdust in eyes, cancelled orders at the last minute, fixing machines and stacking wood good luck mate:biggrin:

£70 per cube hardwood....maybe even £75, plus delivery £60 for softwood sell lots of softwood to the ones that dont want to pay the price for hardwood with softwood i have learnt......money talks most customers come back for more too. 90% of customers cant tell the difference either, they just like the instant heat and big flames
-
connect electrics to tractor... turn lights on when running machine, did red light come on to tell you stress control was set??? run at around 640 rpm and press either max button or up arrow for 10 secs for the red light to come on if not working, check plug connections check/change fuse in chipper electric box and then try again also shear bolt on pto may have snapped

-

-

-
mate of mine buys booze by the case and pays for restraunt meals through the business and writes it off as entertainment and gifts for customers....................even though it was all for him, same for partys etc, hotel rooms, weekends away ALL FOR HIM = fraud him and customers = not fraud you can go out for a meal with a customer and put it through the books, its entertaining for business relationships...etc you can buy booze for the same purpose, and trips away (business related) arb shows, seminars etc
-
anyone able to deliver to this address Pimlico Road, London SW1W 8NE on a weekly basis, approx 1m3 seasoned wood in bags per week, approx 30 bags. not for me, i have been approached and too far for me, good little earner for a local chap! pm me for details
-
yeah, i remembered that after i wrote it, but the wife had me tea ready. what i ment is its allowable if you are entertaining customers, obviously he takes the pss. hotels are allowed if on a business trip too inc arb shows
-
no, not really....you can claim for so much of it, ask your accountant,

new stove and fuel spec
firewoodman replied to firewoodman's topic in Log burning stoves and fireplaces
i'm sucking eggs man, but i canna suck no more!!! that quote did make me laugh1:lol: good advice on the stoves guys. i already know about the RHI and i dont think it will be for wood burners, i think its aimed more towards pellets and wood chip got no room for a woodchip setup, and dont want to pay for pellets -
moved house so need a new woodburner, looking at connecting to central heating so looking for a boiler stover...any suggestions??? any way, not the reason for the post, whilst looking through the leaflets for wood burners i have noticed that they now recommend the wood is dry to 20%, no mention fo softwood not to be burnt, just all wood is dry. finally, now all we need is for the public to change their views:thumbup1:
-
hey guys, any of you out there know the current price of G30 woodchip at around 30 - 40%mc for chp getting involved in a large contract for buying and selling, so any help is greatly appreciated

update , just for info. got a mortgage in the end, through a broker, now with halifax, was fast tracked through in four days. we move in 2 weeks took advice to avoid abbey, broker agreed too and told of lengthy waits my advice, use a broker, they want to get you a mortgage dont use a banks advisor if planing to move within 2 years, make sure your tax returns (if self assessment) look favorable in the taxable profit box, even if this means sacrificing your depreciation and paying more tax. tax returns can be adjusted up to 2 years after submission for this reason....legally and online. finally....use a broker good luck to anyone trying
