  1. sounds great-especially if allowed to bring guns too! i'll try make it next time phill!
  2. my old man had a new 4x4 sprinter about 10year ago, good van dave, in short i would say no to under 2k to convert to 4x4, if atall possible
  3. i see the fell, wheres the stunt original!
  4. Haha, yep still with coley at the moment, he treats us well, and pays very well i'll let you know either way about the wood
  5. to convert to cedar shingles/tiles for cliffs new shed, if he does want it (he's gonna look at the pics first) im sure we could get the grab lorry down there as we're working in letchworth later this week and all next week, so down that way ish. see what cliff reckons/if someone can convert the timber for him i reckon taking a load or 3 away has gotta be worth diesel money atleast hey?
  6. i think youd have to have the 6.5t one to get any respectable payload! go on john, buy buy buy buy it a decent set of tyres too!

  8. saw a 6x6 tipper landrover with a meaty looking hiab between cab and buck yesterday, looks ace, prob isnt tho! under or over 3.5t?
  9. to be honest i dont know either mate, are you looking at making money milling? if so you could mill peoples wood onsite, costing to the hour+an hour? or are you looking at pre milling a load of species and sizes, storing/seasoning them ready to sell? if so i reckon you really need to know your market And have a reputation like tommer9 and rob d or milling stuff to make garden furniture out of? if so, any would do i reckon! just price accordingly-oak, yew, holly=many£ other more common woods-maple (sycamore!), pines, ash ect=less£ for same items thatd be my opinions based on nothing!
  10. have you thought of asking local bespoke furnature makers what they require? sold some yew to a cabinet maker, he wanted it 2" thick, he will season it, then cut down/plane to size he needs
  11. i have a rule to give them the boot early febuary, mid december, or a week before their bday my cash is MINE
  12. that 14 foot gap fell is spot on!
  13. stevie, lets not forget who told me i wouldnt eat the mega brekkie, and who ate the mega brekkie
  14. dunno pete, was down in letchworth:001_tt2: there was a hinge a whopping short but thick hinge to the right, and a long and thin one to the left. . . it worked
  15. haha, that may be a good idea! cheers Liam
  16. Lets see youre Stunt fell pics:thumbup: basically a stunt fell is where you prob should have climbed and dismantled, but felled anyway for the hell of it-in the words of mr hill, saving time isnt a crime heres todays/this mornings job, can prob qualify as a stunt fell. poplar, back leaner leaning over road, car park-dont dent, bt line running inline with fell on left, and sign to miss on right. i aimed to get close to the sign, as would rather wipe the sign out that the wire! gob perfect! stump ground out loaded brekkie now lets see yours!
  17. no, you need a stump grinder
  18. i agree with huck, IMO on big diameters, a deeper set hinge assists felling as center of gravity, although in the same place, the COG is nearer the hinge, therefore requires less wedging to move the COG past the hinge, into the gob, and down she goes
