    Yeah they are VERY inefficient, but I believe they have a place, esp in places like cornwall where it is very windy. Wave power good too. Unfortunately the biggest opposition to wind power is BNFL, and they plough mega bucks into anti renewable energy propaganda, often stirring up local hatred long before locals have news that a farm is planned....I had first hand experience of this a few years back.

    Getting to be less and less. Cornwall is one of the least wooded counties.

    Once you have it out, and if the rest of the machine is good, you may as well rebuild, as it wil be like a new one afterwards.

    Keep the timber as long as possible, and offer the log to sawmills, or take size orders from the boaty types and have it milled to that size. The root ball is worth very good money to woodturners too, as are all the branches as long as they have some colour in the centre (even down to about 1 1/" diameter can be turned. Hope that helps.

    Heres my view.....http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/general-chat/25236-terrible-news-about-amazon.html I have loads of windfarms in cornwall, and i cant stand NIMBYism. Deal with them. You could be facing a nuclear power station.

    Sorry to hear that that has been your experience with the Princes Trust. My late Uncle set that up with Prince Charles, and I am cetain he/ they never intended it to be seen in that light, as both men had young peoples best interests at heart. Having said that, it was/ is designe for very hard up people who really want to succeed (if your business fails due to your own lack of drive or what have you then the money is meant to be repayed i believe.) Good luck getting funding though.

    I think you may have misunderstood my post lol. I have seen those 160s in the flesh, and they looked pretty lightweight TBH....

    Very high water content in tescos. A very good diesel engineers firm in Helston, cornwall, were telling me how much they love tescos fuel..........as it brings them the majority of their work through the damage it causes to cars!!

    I can only echo what has been said. It really needs to sit low to work right.

    Nowt on today other than looking at a job and getting ready to move out of the farm....if i find anywhere to move to that is!!!!!

    I prefer to keep averythin original, other than fitting heavy duty steering bars. I dont like polybushes as i have seen ovalised steel where thay have beeen used.

    Excellent service from mid cornwall saw service in St dennis. £20 a pair for 12" vermeer blades. Come back like razors every time.

    Great....another chance for the moronic general public to prove to the oil companies that they can get away with charging what they want as panic buying sets in showing how much cars are relied on.

    The stihl ms361 I had nicked just before christmas, with a 16" bar, bought a week after they entered the country......I dont reckon i will pick up a saw that was as perfect as that one was....wub wub. Replaced it with n ms362....doesnt come close (yet). Il tell you in about 8 years what it turned out like lol!

    Tree surgery waste woodchip is 7-10/ tonne, clean purpose made biofuel woodchip is way more than that i believe. I was at confors last year and £50/ tonne was being mentioned.....

    Oh yeah- I would certainly NOT put a lift on a work vehicle.

    The 130 is fitted with the heaviest springs and helpers as standard. If you are really having problems then your springs could be worn out. You could try what my mate has done and removed tghe helper springs and replaced them with some air bag things. Ill try to catch him tomorrow and ask him where he giot them. You put the deflated bag inside the spring in lieu of the helper, and with your compressor/ footpump etc you inflate them. They worked very well for him, and he regularly loads his 130 alot.

    Tried Adrian Flux, about the same as Trust. 10 years protected NCD....

    Yet the justification for the bailout appears to be basically that the banking industry needs supporting due to the annual tax revenue from The City.....which at about £26bn/ annum would equate to 57 years worth of tax. There has been an announcement that there is to be a levy on banks, that will raise a further £200million, but that equates to a mere 0.4% increase for the banks, while at the same time society at large is still to feel the whole force of the cuts that have been announced but not yet implemeted:thumbdown:
