There is no lottery unless you are trying to get a bargain. You get what you pay for. If I load my 2cu metre body with logs you get 2 cu metres of loose logs. Those 2 cu metre crates in the pic turn in to around 3 cu metres when loose.

Does firewood actually dry in cord form?!!!

I think this works for beech and birch but not ash or oak from experience. You still need to dice it up now to have a chance this winter. -
I always quote 0.7 cubic metres loose loaded. If they want to know its 0.45 stacked its not a problem its still the same price unless I detect a customer from hell then it doubles.

I would rather burn dry poplar than bricks any day.

Low emmission zone go inside the m25 and its a £100 a day for smelly vans. Comming to a city near u soon as well. Not a problem if you dont go into town but when you come to sell you 20k cruiser it will have a limited market.

Are they easy to get insured and do they comply with the lez in London.

chance of a breakdown when towing 300 miles

I have an old Td5 van which needs replacing so in exactly the same position. I am looking at riping the seats out of the year 2000 family Amazon and turning it into a van. 24k cheaper than a new Disco 4 same on fuel and still more reliable.

I think reading your post you said everything other than a Landrover is crap. Which will annoy some people but have the rest of us rolling around on the floor.
-
Too heavy for the front axle if you want a 4.2 you need to buy a proper one.
-
There is a certain model to get the early ones are too old and some of the later ones are bad news. Not sure which but someone will know on here. Apparently you can tell a good one from the style of the mirrors ? We had a £2000 cabstar if I bought another it would be 5k plus as you will spend 3k very quickly on a wreck.

30 mph over the speed limit could bring you a ban.
-
Both drivers could be landrover enthusiasts so its a fix. Difficult to tell as you cant see the dirty finger nails, open toed sandals, socks, beards or pipe
-
Its time white van man was slowed down. Most new panel vans are restricted now anyway. If they stop driving like knob heads the police would leave them alone.
-
Not sure if this is right but someone who has owned alot of ivecos told me that the 3.5 tonne and 5 tonne have same chassis and running gear and it was just a paper work excercise. If this is so the 3.5 should be more durable and safer when loaded to 3.5 tonne gross.
-
This will sound like a mad question but which is worst in the eyes of the law. 1. a 4.6 tonne down plated to 3.5 tonne but still weigh at road side 4.6 tonne or 2. a 4.6 tonne weighing 4.6 tonne but no operators licence and no down plate.
-
Try it again with both vehicles in high box. The landrover is rated to pull 11 tonnes in an emergency in low box. Get the dodge and td5 pulling a 3 tonne trailer and see which you could drive all day.
-
Do you want random loose bags of kindling. We dont have a market for it so would be no good to us. The kindlet may not make logs but its brilliant at making joinery offcuts into neat bags for years without falling to bits. Cutting up rings and feeding them into this type of machine I would think would be alot of work. If my wife was not interested in making the stuff I could not justify doing it my self or even worse employing someone. Its fun but its pocket money
-
Normally its because they are tight and want something for nothing
-
I burnt some all night burns like beech and for same amount of time, gauge on flue up to temp. Sell the beech keep the pop
-
I have pop on the fire tonight burns nice no spitting. I have had more trouble burning oak than any other wood. If you keep your ears open you should be able to get pop for £15 -£25 per tonne + haulage. Once cut into logs in the summer dries in a couple of weeks.
-
I think there is only two trucks I would buy new d max or hilux looks a cracking truck cant beat the feel and smell of a new truck when you leave for work in the morning.
-
Did you cut all the trees down on the left.
-
I bought a used greenmech combi for use on my own land. very impressed with strength of construction and speed of chipping. I use the shredder chute more than the chipper.

He would only need to open the door for us.
