whats the price on those then???

i fully agree with you about the species, i have found pine to burn for quite some time in a stove but have also found it does take quite a while to dry out. i always found that charcoaling was a lot of effort for little reward, especially if doing it for bioregional. well done for giving it a go

i got insa turbos good remolds at reasonable price similar to bfg all terains and no noise difference from when i had goodyear road tires

why is that over the top????? i've phoned the headquarters of several haulage and supermarkets firms when i've seen the delivery drivers throwing their rubbish out of the window. i've even thrown can back into a car through the same window it came out of. (i was in a bad mood that day)

how true, well said

thanks steve, but as a gesture of good will can the gloves be sent to east yorkshire trees... kind of a wedding prezzie. EYT good luck with the wedding mate. just booked mine for 21st march 2009:scared1:

was it an iron by any chance

i wont put guards on my saws since i had a theft incident. whilst working for the LA my mate and i stopped for some food when 2 scroats nicked our 036, on seeing this my mate calls me and we start chasing through housing estate and over garden walls, suddenly my mate is calling me back saying they dropped the saw. i ran straight past it, caught up in the chase. we picked up the saw and went back to the truck to eat our food. within minutes the 2 boys were back, the one was limping badly. unfortunatly for them they had to walk right past us to go to a&e, being stopped from jumping out to have a go i just watched as they walked past. limpy had run the bar of the saw accross the back of his leg right behind his knee, exposed flesh, insides and blood, lots of blood, enough to leave a trail on the floor was comming out of the wound. what did i do??? i laughed and called him a silly fu***r what should i have done???? each to their own!!

got 2 mate!!! only use them on solid ground as they will rip up the grass. you'll end up landscaping the garden

i feel the same. my son is in cubs and as much as i try to be there at start time it does'nt always work out and the misses takes him, but i am always there to pick him up. and we always support their events. mind you any oppertunity to go camping and we are off no matter the weather..... sometimes i'll bring the misses too, but she dont like the rain:thumbdown:

why dont you just get some really long jump leads. mine stretch all the way into england so i get electric for free. its cheaper and easier than fitting a split charge system. i fitted a split charge unit in my landy and it took all day and cost around £200 including all the cables and fittings. if you look on the net you should get some long ones, if not get some thick welders cable and make your own

is that similar to the small tabletop setup?

[quote=Mesterh;54566Did you like the statement at the end "buy a chainsaw from B&Q put an ad in local papers like i did 13 years ago" Very professional:thumbup1: QUOTE] would that be the same place to buy the bale twine? can you buy an NPTC certificate there aswell????? oh no!! i've join in now

just watched a tree surgeons life by mani http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=2745 i wont join in the with the hand bags as this thread is humerous, and respect goes out to those big enough to shrugg off the insults. i'm pretty sure there are some some photos there where faults could be found and critisisms made but people do work differently and have confidence where others dont....i certainly would not take a photo of the road infront of me whilst driving the car at around 70mph.

oops i missed it, went to the cinema, but looks like i had the better viewing

i think if you dont put your prices up like everyone else you will soon start to suffer. the customer will have to pay the extra sooner or later.. it just takes time to adapt

are you able to put up farm gates infront of the barn? if so you could clad them with box profile sheets i've done something similar, but had my gates custom built £200

stack mine 3 high in a grid all on pallets to allow the air flow essential for drying. if stacked outside then covered with polysheet to protect from sun and rain but still allow cetain amount of airflow through. just persist in asking for a sample if you want one, they do get quite busy dean....how are yours being pinched, are they not kept in your yard?

they are surprisingly strong, been using them for 2 years now and only wasted one, but some do have holes in them and they dont carry on ripping either. phone 'Bag Supplies' in Cumbria and ask for a sample one. but if you want to but they come in bales of 20 +vat + delivery

i use those vented bags and they are bigger than the one ton bags but they work really well. got 150 of them and worth every penny. nothing dries in the bulkbags i always tip the bags into the truck so the customer never sees them as i know i will never get them back, if you got a fork truck they can be emptied by using the hooks at the base

i always try to split my beech when fresh, have found the less the moisture content and the older the wood the the more likely it is to explode especially if the spalting has started. have seen some beech fly over 30ft from the splitter:scared1:

imo having used both vertical and horizontal types of various manufacturers, i dont think there is a perfect machine out there for everyones purpose. if i am splitting rings i use a vertical tabletop,(got two) did have a horizontal for this aswell but got backache so traded it in. for doing billets 4ft long i use a horizontal 30 splitter and load it with a crane for cordwood i use a processor (got two) why do i have two of each?? no down time when newer machine breaks down and seeing as the machines are already paid for, when i get a rush on all the machines are working flat out.

dude you got a roof mounted crane and you use a vertical log splitter??? dont make sense to me, now i'll have to take pics of my setup to show you the size of stuff we break down using the equipment we've invested in. converting wood manually is hard work, let the machine do it for you!!

good tip!!

dime bar!! amazing what you can do with a chocolate covered toffee bar.:001_tongue:not heard that one before i'm guessing thats one of those narrow tipped bars do you have to have the chain loose on those?
