  1. stop moaning! most of our tractors dont have cabs and we dont have sheds either...
  2. hahaaa! i wish! im sure we'll still be plodding along with fordsons
  3. im kind of looking for a cheap 3-point-linkage crane
  4. i wear Stein boots, they seem really good considering they were only £80ish at the APF last time round
  5. Was just watching a Logging DVD and it started talking about a machine called a Super Snorkel, it is litteraly mad! Its a crazy bit of kit and looks soo hard to operate! Think of it like a drag line crane with a grapple on it.

  6. wow first time i've ever been able to go on hahaa
  7. haha yeah its cheap, most of our wood we get for free though and its not the highest quality
  8. most of our customers take it like that, granddads been selling firewood like this for probably 30 years + and still using the same saw bench haha, never had any complaints
  9. £50 a load like this, £60 for all ash
  10. Congrats Stevie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  11. haha thanks, its for me to though i hate using his saw with no dogs and the bar is too heavy for its size hahaha, even made him up my first chain, with the rivet spinner and chain breaker he gave me
  12. shinny new socket set loads of thermal socks! Got my granddad a set of large felling dogs for his ms440 seen as tho there is only a little bit of a dog on his saw and a BRAND NEW Oregon bar, now for the first time ever he doesnt have to file down and drill oiler holes in heavy old dolmar bars to make them fit fit!

    Yay!!!

    yup down here tooo, started snowing bout 4ish
  14. hey tommer, asked my granddad about the austin, he didnt know what model it actually is, and its not the orginal engine either which was a petrol, its now got a 6 litre ishhhh diesel in it
  15. yeah get one! they are sweeet! use my sachs dolmar 153 with a 36" bar and ripping chain works a treat!
  16. nope no pic btw it isnt the one side mounted on our fordson if anyone was wondering, i would pay someone if they could pull that off without and angle grinder it was just a smaller dark green one, dunno home to describe one of these lol
  17. we had one stolen the other day
  18. yeah we cover ours, i know people say that the wood "sweats" when its covered but we use old tarp that is ripped and no good for much else, this keeps the worst off but still allows the wind to blow through and under it, we also use sheets of tin on some of the log piles, this gets the rain to run off (and would keep the snow off if we got any) and still allows the wind to get at the wood.
  19. thats the old timers for you
  20. ooo sweeet! Yeah you really cant beat a bit of oak! A farmer by us is doing a barn conversion, the oak was felled off his land aboiut 2 years ago and we are going to start milling it over christmas (hopefully) Yeah i am really pleased with it! Glad it is making some money to Ahh thats a bum keep on at them you'll have one some day
