  1. Check it's got the right oil in and enough of it. If it has a filter make sure it's clean. Some have a fan to cool the oil. It sounds like its nackered and stops working when the oil thins.
  2. Best of the best I think still got quality in the body combined with the reliable and economical d4d engine
  3. It was so wet over the last 18 months we have had some mould problems with our stripe vented bags especially processing September onwards. The see through bags may be a better bet if the weather stays the same for years
  4. Everyone is on holiday in the bahamas spending the money they made from selling logs.
  5. Can you hang on for a few days just got to unload a container
  6. I thought the crack of your butt was automatically on show at the age of 45 its a combination of beer and value jeans. I am lucky because i can still get my 40inch waist in to a 28 inch jean luckily for everyone else I have a tipper.
  7. I can remember a 17 tonne load of beech about 18 months ago not bought from anyone on here. It was 40% 2in sticks 40% stuff over 18" 20% of stuff that went through our processor. It was about that time I thought stuff it and started to wind it down and not budget for new processors and large kit.
  8. I have had vehicles that can be a pain so when it needs to be quiet I did not bother with the fob and just lock the doors with the key. That way no alarm is set, should tell you in the manual. Make sure you dont have a spider walking around at night all the ideas above are worth a try. Orvis was a special edition something to do with the fishing equipment sold in Andover by Orvis.
  9. I would say you are right by christmas I had not sold 10% of my logs in the last few weeks have sold the lot. Next autumn I think will be slow as money is short and more people will be doing logs because this winter has dragged on again and caused a shortage.
  10. That could be a 1/2 cube bag so still £70 a metre.
  11. Good luck to him if people are stupid enough to pay without checking the sales history why not. We dont live in a nanny state ( yet ) if god did not want them sheared he would not have given them woolly coats I think is the expression.
  12. There could be another side to the story where she has five log merchants in and spins ea the same story and they feel sorry for her and leave half a cube free. but then I a can be a cynic
  13. Did not mean to put a downer on it. Feathers are up as kindling orders are good think it may just be my area very wealthy log prices rock bottom.
  14. clean logs are green logs each of my beech logs has a pair of arms and legs and when its dark they run into the field and roll around in the mud. After 12 months they are black. They dont throw their coat of till they hit the customers drive. yes I been drinking
  15. The same as this year and the last 18 months since the whole world now cuts up logs for beer money.
  16. I never seen a difference between branch and stem both weigh about the same so must have similar BTU.
  17. Been selling firewood for 7 years given up trying to explain to customers. All they are interested in is cheap. More so now than ever. The enviromental conscience has gone clean out the window now they cant afford to send Tarquin to uni while they jet of to Barbados.
  18. Its around a million per acre every where. But out of that must come the social housing currently 40%. Infastructure, schools, shops, roads, sewage and some kerb stones for the estate on the other side of town. 1/4 million to subsidise the bus service for the first few years, £70k per year for the housing liason officer ( methodone man ) 13.5% commission for the develper who must optimise the value of the land. When thats all done you give back the option money 8K per acre and they send you a cheque for 300k per acre if your lucky. Then you put it in the bank and watch inflation kill it.
  19. One of the reasons we stopped buying cordwood. On clearance jobs at the side of the road the lads are trying to squeeze 6in stuff through the chipper. In the forest they are picking up 1" sticks and trying to make up loads. I dont want to be buying under 2" and we dont want 24 tonnes of 3 " fussy arent we. The money is in the 6-8" stuff on a processor thats why we spend 15k on a processor.
  20. If they dont reply as you asked does that mean they are thinking out of the box?
  21. Someone must have the sign for sangat when it shut down.
  22. You cant object to housing on the grounds of it will spoil my view, you dont own your view. If houses are on the cards in your area the government will make sure it goes through.
  23. You could mention to them that some members of a minority community want to buy it to keep pigs . No only Joking gets some proper proffessional advice these people will represent your interest without being emotionally involved. They will be calculated and stone faced when its needed.
  24. electric oven is more efficent than a propane one so no real advantage unless you live off grid. You dont need the instant control with an oven taht is so useful on the stove.
