Depends on timber stay away from oak. If we have a reasonable summer and you get it under cover in september I would think you will be fine. Log or billet it all now sooner the better.

£1.50 a bag sounds ok to me. Not had to season it for 12 months+ or smash it out of the ground. We sell kindling for £1.60 a bag trade and there is 60p of material before you even take out the labour. £6 for a bag of logs looks good till you work out its cost you £4 to get it to their door.

Maybe something to do with the 5% bio in fuel now.

Try A E Prentice nr Oxford

When your bfg get on a bit check them inside if you get a puncture as they start breaking up inside.

I dont blame you for staying new. I have never had a new Toyota which may be an option for us. I did try 6 different Nissan dealers in 2 years and all hopeless. Hopefully you will have better luck with Toyota

I still have a lot of confidence in the Toyota product but less so in some of the dealers. They have a 1990 ford dealership feel about them. I think the dealerships change brand so often they keep their old bad habits. If I was buying a new vehicle I would get it serviced at a main dealer and expect a bumper to bumper warranty for 3 years. I tried running one new navarra in 2002 but went back to several old trucks for me it has been alot less stressfull. In those days it was 6000 mile services and dealer out of town the truck was permanently in the garage and we had one eye on the mileometer and one ear listening for the next noise.

I have finally got my head round H&S and its changing . I used to charge £15,000 to supply and install a diesel generator and try and do the 40 pages of BS for free. Now the generator is free and the the bull s cost £25,000 works for me -
The cheaper one is probably fine but for £10 why take the chance. I think the dixon will be harder wearing and corrode less.

I agree with peasgood. The good will of the company was with you and your brother. If you carry on you are the business. I would offer half the value of the assets. If you start a new business could you afford to pay someone a good wage to do nothing it will be hard enough paying for a climber if the recession is biting you. I feel for you after your recent loss now you have to deal with this. If you get on well with your sister in law I am sure you can talk it through and explain the situation if not start up again and offer to buy the tools.

All my tippers have the remote tyraped just inside the front chassis. You put your hand in so it does not get trapped. The remote faces backwards so the weather never gets in.

You mean you have found half the work is in the preparing the 6in pieces. The people that make or hire the machines forget to mention that bit when they quote 60 bags an hour.

Yes I was not trying to put it down. If you get pleasure tinkering with it great. You may even discover something that has been missed in the process before. As you say its not a business. In the last 3 months I have seen 3 people with families invest 25k of their redundancy on junk from china to make bricks. I give my saw dust and offcuts to them in the hope they can make it pay and support their families.

If any one gets this problem nr Andover I have a drop tester and all the other guff comes in handy for life saving gensets

I have both tt85 and tt105 The 105 is a better trailer tows nicer on those lower profile wheels easier to reverse as its the same width as truck gross weight is 3500kg so more useable payload. The load hight is lower than tt85 I can use it for collecting rings but would not bother if I only had the smaller tipper tt85 is narrower and lends itself well to delivering logs up narrow drives. Never owned a 126 but looks like you could easily overload the 3500 gross due to size of bed and its a heavy monster when empty but good value if you really need a big tipper.

Cut his balls off with a silky then explain how much more damage a chainsaw can do.

You will find if you pay for advice ie surveyor, fire risk assessor or h&s every one of them has a get out clause in there terms and conditions. To think you could sue someone for free advice you found on the net we are getting there but this country is not quite there yet try america
-
I dont want to put a downer on it but you can buy 25kg of the stuff for £3 how many hrs are you going to work to make up the £3. Find someone that has spent 40k on a proper set up and swap your saw dust for some finished product.

I dont think moisture matters. We have 2 year seasoned beech ash mix 2 cubic meters for £130 still cant get rid of the stuff round our way. All I want is my poly tunnel empty

Business Banking: NatWest vs Barclays ???
gensetsteve replied to TimberCutterDartmoor's topic in Business Management
I have no experience of Natwest but Barclays lost 40 k of my money on 2 seperate occassions and took nearly 6 weeks to return it. I have now paid off my mortgage to get rid of them. IMO the worst bank ever x 10. I have been with Santander business banking for at least 10 years with no problems. -
That disco looks like a good buy. We have a 53 plate commercial for the last 5 years towed hard now got 165k on clock very few problems I would have another but not a d3 or 4

If the battery is good and the alternator is charging at 14v it could be diodes in alternator are shot and drags the battery down over night. IF you can get hold of a dc clamp meter it takes 2 seconds to find it.

I am sure your right I was under the impression the GM engine was alloy thats why they got away with putting it in the RR. We have alot of cummins engines in our generators good engines especially at 1500 rpm but very heavy.
-
After 20 years of being sign written I cant remember anyone ringing up because they see my van. I think it is more to reassure excisting customers that you are still legit. And puts people at ease if you are lost in an industrial est. You are more likely to get a going over by vosa if you are sign written.

Hideous the engine is twice as heavy as the front axle can take and he has put a winch on as well for good measure. The Gm 6.5 is too heavy and that has an alloy block. Just as you reach 55 mph the engine will top out on revs and still only do 12 mpg. I have seen a few of these conversions most are poor drive like a boat and un insurable.
