  1. What area are you looking in? It is easier to find woodland in Wales or Sussex for that sort of money but here in Essex they are non existent. I own 40acres in Wales, it was the best thing I have ever bought. I go down to it every 6 weeks or so for a weeks play. Don't expect to make money out of it.
  2. Also a idea of the value of standing spruce ,undiseased , sawlogs and chipwood. Thanks John
  3. What price would be reasonable for standing spruce in Wales? I am looking for a price for sawlogs and what to expect for chipwood. 3 or 4 hectare site assuming good access. Thanks john
  4. I could collect it from Braintree if they have not already posted it? Pm me the name of the firm. John
  5. I could probably make this for you if you are not sorted. What are the 3 holes in the end for. I am in Dunmow John
  6. Shop made trolley free to anyone who can collect it from Dunmow cm6. John
  7. Thanks for the advice. I have now had both saws running and given them a clean and found a couple of bars. I will put the mill on with an option on the 2 power units. John
  8. I have grown too old and decrepit to use my old mill. Not used it for 15 years. 2off 2101xp units and a mill made of ally with rollers. Saws have not run for some time , i haven't the strength to give them a good pull. Chain brakes need new parts. Would I be better of selling the 2101xp separately? How much should i expect to get? Thanks John
  9. Yes, sounds like best left to the chainsaw guys. John
  10. I have a Woodmizer bandsaw. I am based near Dunmow. What is the access like? John
  11. Yes you were right. The guy sent me a text pulling out. At least he let me know. john
  12. I have sold my old pickup for £3000, alot more than i expected. What is the safest way to receive payment. I am worried i would not recognise fake notes. Paypal is expensive. Bank transfer when he collects it. No one came to view it yet it was bid up to over £3000 . 56 reg and 140000 on the clock. John
  13. Thought it looked familiar. My wood is adjacent to John's land.
  14. Can no one help with this? Any recommendations of firms I could try? Thanks John
  15. My wife's very elderly aunt, living in Barkingside north-east London, has 4 or 5 conifers which are getting too far too large. See attached photos. We have managed to persuade her that they need topping. She doesn't want them felled completely as her father planted them in the 50s and also they screen the houses behind but we appreciate that it may be unavoidable. Access is good via a narrow back lane. We are looking for quotes for the job. John
  16. We also have a problem with the torque amplifier. The tractor won't move forward unless one takes ones foot of the clutch extremely slowly. Apart from these 2 problems it is a good machine. Thanks john
  17. The brakes have not worked since we got the tractor. The only video i can find on YouTube says one needs to get into the rear axle to find the workings of the wet brakes. Where do i look for the master cylinder? Thanks John
  18. I am not familiar with a vacuum bleeder. Do you have a link to the type of kit you used. Thanks John
  19. Can anyone recommend a mechanic to fix the brakes on an old international 784 in woods near Welwyn. I have tried bleeding them but can't get any fluid through. Thanks John
  20. Just acquired another Massey 35. 58 years on the same farm, one owner, never spent a night under the stars. I am looking forward to getting her home[emoji2] [emoji2]
  21. Another sunny day in Wales[emoji2]
  22. John Hughes Woodmizer lt40 Lucas 8 /25 swing mill. Based near Dunmow Essex
