  1. in defense of farmers/landowners. we have to be a little bit 'wary' of everybody because most of us have had so much stolen from us!!!!!!! its sad but, i cant ever see it changing, good luck looking for somewhere thou

    VAT Rise

    just a quick note to say, 'cash' shouldnt be discussed, i know of people in differant trades that have had 'web' discussions used against them in court, be careful out there, big brother is bigger than ever......
  3. vented 3/4 metre bags, daihatsu fourtrak, transformed into a pick up with some sporttrak bits, unloaded using an up-rated lucas swing lift [an 031 hiab wouldnt fit!!] all from ebay, engineering ideas powered by budweiser!!!!!!!! cost alltogether....... about £1200 plus a days labour,,, nice!!!!
  4. evan at £50 it surely cant be worth doin it?????????? ive got all oak this year, im want at least £100 m3, should be £120 thou. i can after all, sit in the sun drinking cold beer all day, an earn nothing!!!!!
  5. gas bottles are also made using galvanised steel,precautions needed when cutting/welding, i welded about 10 big bottles together to 'bridge a ditch' whist making a roadway!!!!!!! far cheaper than concrete pipe!!!!! added a few internal strengtheners, it has loaded 8 wheelers over it no prob!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  6. i must be over cooking my logs, i never have moss on them!!!!!!!!!!!
  7. i think your right,, my customers seem too educated........ may have to move!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  8. hmmmmm, as ever, 2 sides to every thread, stephen is right in what he says, if your a self employed mechanic, the money you can earn per hour far outweighs what you can accomplish by selling logs. im in the same boat as cosworth, im self employed h.g.v. mechanic, ive built up a small log round in the village, its enough to top up the wages when its dark at 3.30 and the company customers cant/wont pay their invoices on time, its a fine line between turning money over & making a small bit of profit, i wish you the best of luck
  9. ive decided to start a 'bartering' system for logs, due to no-one really knowing what a load or a cube consists of, its early days but so far i have the local vicars niece on loan for 3 consecutive w-ends, down side is the vicar needs 3 metric american tons of quarter seasoned cordwood??????????
  10. can you p.m me your number,, or email me, [email protected] cheers
  11. 088 !!!!!!! cant be messing about with those small things!!!!!!!
  12. has anyone bought one & used it over for more than a couple a few days yet??????
  13. depends on area a bit, about £30 per ton is firewood price, maybe more if your only buying small amount
  14. i dont think you will find a mobile crane to lift that at 45 metres, i would however, love to proved wrong, & see the thing in action, the forces involved are immense!!!!!!
  15. wondering what people are thinking of charging,this season, for a locally delivered, CUBIC METRE, 95% oak, the rest, beech/hazel!!!! please dont reply with tonne bag prices, ton prices etc etc, im looking to find prices per cube, from people that understand what a cube is!!!!!!!!! i dont wish to sound harsh but ive spent 2 evenings looking through previous posts!!!!! many thanks in advance!!!!!!!!!:001_smile
  16. purely out of interest, does anyone know the the chemical reaction that may cause this self-combustion??? ive never seen much proof of self -combustion, unless your really looking for it................. any one got any tales???????????
  17. take sump off, drop it round to local welder/engineer, new gasket, plus a drink sounds far cheaper!!!!!!!
  18. :thumbup1:good thread!!!!! makes me think i may have too many!!! particularly for hobby use only!!!! 017 with carving bar, husky 61,1982, rebuilt & runs better than many many new saws!! 051 av, 075, 076, few insignificant others!!!
  19. :lol:thankyou guys, maybe i should of been clearer,, empty bags is what im after!!! 9x9x9, will be as good as!!! cheers
  20. just a thought.... if you have the old one is there any local engineers near you that could make one??
  21. should of put.... cubic metre bags!!!!!!!!
  22. could anyone let me know of a reliable supplier for bulk bags, many thanks:thumbup:
  23. that sounds a whole lot easier than what i was thinking!!!! cheers!
  24. with alaskan mill..... mine came from the big on line auction!!!! no paperwork with it!!!!
