  1. interesting you prefer a kawasaki engine over a honda, any particular reason
  2. which viking do you run?? lawnflite is basically a cheaper honda. the mower is for domestic gardens and for block of flats grounds maintenance i'm liking the viking because its weight is lighter, lawnflite comes in at 65kg
  3. hey guys looking at buying a mower with rear roller, tied between a 48 and 53cm cut, and a lawnflite and a viking. anyone got any reviews on the viking mb655vr or 650 vr?? anything on the lawnflite is appreciated too
  4. if thats delivered to pontypool, thats a good price!! take it ash!!! as long as it includes VAT !!!
  5. ha, I've met your sister!!!! and i've worked with her.........................oh dear!!!
  6. hi joy i've been thinking about it for a few years, but this years sales have really hit home, last year was bad enough. i'm just glad i had some plans in place so this poor season is not too much of a shock. Some one once told me its a fashion fuel, and thats the way it seems, plus customers are sourcing their own wood now, even some of my neighbours have tree surgeons drop wood off and they cut it up themselves, wearing the new lightweight and invisable chainsaw gear:blushing:
  7. have to agree there!! they just want to sell the stoves, they are just salesmen, as soon as the stove is fitted in the house its not their problem where the wood comes from!! I too am packing it in this year, as soon as the last log is sold the machinery goes up for sale. going small scale, and fresh wood only split on demand to order, I dont even think thats worth it either!! bloody hard work for little return!!
  8. join a local club, but you dont have to stick to rivers:biggrin: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8N6MjRSQJA]gone kayak surfing - YouTube[/ame] and this is my son and me at cardiff white water center [ame] [/ame]

  16. ha ha I like the funnys on this I too have the same back problem and i always forget to drink, but when the pain kicks in, no amount fo non alcoholic fluid helps, so beer it is then
  17. i think Jeffery has been on a couple of times.
  18. So what are these then Swamp cypress, Evergreen oak, Holly Ginkgo????? Personally I go by light (in weight) woods give off great instant heat and light easily, e.g spruce, pine Heavy denser wood burns for a longer time but gives off a lower temp of heat and not as easy to catch alight. E.g oak
  19. the key with softwood is to have bigger chunks than hardwood is normally cut, it lasts longer then
  20. she does bake a mean cake or two!!!!! aww i do miss the cake!!!

  22. I,ve found that too big cord= big machine = big firewood=customer complaints
  23. obviously just doing it for the exercise at that price, for me, I can stay at home all day and lose money easier than selling at that price
  24. thanks steve, i notice you till havent changed your hakki yet (been through old and and new threads) not sure if i want to spend that much on a dalen for so little splitting power, if one thing anoys me more than breakdowns, its the log jambing on the splitting wedge.
