  1. He is right childish and pathetic. Now where did I put the jerry can and car keys
  2. You can if you find some smooth power floated concrete and a puddle of diesel.
  3. Does it stay in shape on corners and can it still tip. I would imagine you could get 5 tonnes of wet chip in that.
  4. The retail price on a 47kg of calor gas is £75 haggle and work it back to as close to £50 as you can.
  5. Dont leave firewood in the house during the summer wood worm only migrates for 2 weeks I think
  6. Chalk and cheese the posch will be more than twice the price and more than twice the quality. I would want to see both machines side by side at a show. The chinese machine has a two year warranty if the engine gives alot of problems it should be a copy of the honda so you could stick a proper one on. Its £1200 inc vat and del could get alot of work out without paying interest.
  7. Ask for a central heating rate and buy them in twos. Think I paid £115 icl 5% vat for proper calor. I know its all the same but we find the cheap gas does not gas off when getting low in the winter.
  8. Rodeo manual a good truck. Had a auto on hire for a week glad to give it back to revvy and whissy bit like driving a buggyscopic up and down the box all the time every time you touch the throttle it drops the lock up.
  9. There is only one place in the world I wont service a generator. Bradford, been there twice in 30 years both times came home without glass in the cab. You could visit the mosques or try foreign cuisine.
  10. Do you find when you have worked for someone like that when you do a quote you can spot the next one comming.
  11. See Riko advert on the right of this page they do new ones for 7k
  12. I bin looking everywhere for some poplar now its falling out the sky in London
  13. Wd40 is amazing stuff a windscreen replacement firm got sealant all over my leather Landcruiser seats. I removed a small area of colour so gave up and took it to a specialist they got it all off with no problem or damage with wd40.
  14. I think the deal is you have a very small chance of getting rich working for your self but no chance working for someone else
  15. Cedar has natural oils that make it weather well thats why its cut for Feather edge. It goes incredibly light weight when seasoned and burns fast as logs. We can stop drooling its in FRANCE.
  16. If you were in the south of England I would buy it for kindling if there were not to many knots. I think its good for cladding buildings. If he takes rough with smooth I would say this would be a smooth so you wont feel guilty giving him some rough in future. Probably still worth a drink as well.
  17. Give the petrol a miss its got alot more nasties in it these days bad news breathing it let alone splashing it all over.
  18. I thought riko were nr Petersfield about 80 miles the side of the M25 from you ( dont go on a friday or drive back after 2pm
  19. Same position as eggs. Important to get one without damp for health reasons especially with nippers. You can have as good a time in an old one and often its a bit more real. We gave up because as soon as kids on holiday every where was full or £40 a night and the wife will not ruff it or use built in shower and bog. I would see a local caravan dealer for a trade in bargain I am sure they would be glad to get shot since ebay is now such a pita.
  20. I left a message on your mobile phone.
  21. Mikey10 put up some pics years ago of a old 7 tonne lorry he put a rack on and finally a hydralic drive. It saves tying up a tractor and you can move it around cheap to buy. I have a frame I use on my ifor williams like a pole trailer. When I have finished I turn it upside down and use it as a log deck.
  22. I am going to try meths and then white spirit if that fails. I think you may need something spirit based.
  23. Yes I know what you are saying as long as people realise euro are not losing out they are just charging more for the same amount of wood. You are not getting more wood because they cant get more on the lorry. A full lorry is a full lorry thye dont have roof racks
  24. I have heard a lot of good things about the new processors around. I am sure they have improved over the years. If serious about processing logs the difference in price between entry level machines and a decent quality machine that will handle big stuff is marginal in the grand scheme of things. IMO the margins are small and if you are going into it you need to go small or large not in between. If you do not have a powered in feed you should think hard about trading up sooner rather than later.If you have a loader Get a log deck even if its just a frame with a hookeroon it will save your back big time and could double your output.
  25. We had a hakki Pilki which was 10 years old when we sold it and it must of had 6000 tones through it . The Posch has to be the best quality machine out there. And I am sure should give 20 years of service but you pay for quality up front.
