  1. if youre allowed to burn, burn it! cut it all, then load a bonfire with tractor and silage grab . . .just dont set fire to the heath!
  2. well judged id say, with the landrover on it, it wasnt going to go back, only foward or as you judged, sideways because of side weight . . good job
  3. so 500cube=approx 1000 dumpy bags (as an example)=10bags a day at £50 a pop=£500 a day, 2.5k week, 10k month, 50k oct-march give or take, correct? -20k wage, -5k return on initial investment=25k for overheads/buying in timber correct? say 2 cube to the green tonn= 250 tonn of wood needed a year say £35 tonne delivered 250x£35=£8750 sound right? if so the rest of youre money needs to be spent on wood now youre left with 16k for other overheads/running costs/tax sound correct give or take?
  4. hey larry! hi flex or stretch airs are the only decent contenders! glad youre getting some tree work and enjoying it all the best
  5. ok thats as basic as it gets, what i mean is this 1)how many dumpy bags will it take so acheive a 20k wage, after fuel, maintenance, breakdowns, insurance, advertising, tax, and outlay of wood has been paid? 2)how much seasond wood would you need to acheive the above? 3)how much have you currently got split, stacked and seasoning intime for start of sales in october next year? (the answer is point 2 minimum)
  6. err, shouldnt you have worked out a rough financial forecast, done youre homework before spending 22k??
  7. disco or defender? i think the turbos in a diffrent place for a discovery?? could always sell the gear and transfer box to me
  8. i reckon youre just going to wear it all day for when someone winds you up-you got video evidence
  9. low on oil for a start, if its low the light will go out with revs. find out where its leaking, dont use it untill you do
  10. its easier than you think, with ours you have to reverse it in as if youre reversing round a corner, so you can see the chipper in a mirror, i do it on a daily basis with wither a transit,7.5tonner, or 18 tonner hiab lorry. aslong as the chippers wheels are in 1 man can easily do it. might need some lighting or good work lamps wired into youre reverse lights for when its dark though
  11. ask them for a demo, then you can decide for yourself
  12. my dads got some in his cellar from 30years ago
  13. how much did it cost out of intrest?
  14. i have a ND in countryside management, i instantly got a job with the rspb (although my felling experience was a large part in getting the job) i was fencing, coppicing and herding, pay was 13k per year. the people on the conservation side of our reserve had degrees in ecology ect, and were on 13k-17K per year, reserve manager around 25K people i went to college with who went on th the HND and degree, one has gone back to the family farm, one works in tescos, and the other is desperatly trying and getting knocked back for teaching jobs whilst working behind a bar its a lifestyle choice imo, as the pay is quite frankly rubbish, although the rent of £20 a week was a bonus!
  15. id be intrested in the rims but not the tyres-i want a wide footprint mud patern, bfg mt's preferabally the back will be a full chip box soon enough
  16. im guessing under that stone, is the entrance to the vault??? grave yards fasinate me, found a grave stone around B5 size, with just a skull and cross bones really weatherd more than any of the others around did she spill any of youre tea?
  17. must have been a bloody great big tree for the amount of use its had
  18. what about the "no cuppa tea tax"
  19. yew berries are lovely and sweet
  20. unfortunatly matt it may be a few months or more before its 100% finished as its a spare time project and steves welding is A1! that petrol cutter was great, although kept rolling my wrist foward for the chain brake!
