    Yes but £100 tax up front before you have collected 90 loads or a £1 in someones pocket as you go along. Depends on how you view life. I dont like paying more tax than is required in this country because I dont agree with the way its spent.

    I just renewed mine for 3 years about £100 I figure at some time I will have waste on. You could get round it when collecting offcuts by paying them a pound but then that starts them thinking its worth money.

    Just my opinion but I cant justify spending decent wedge on a machine that cant lift approaching 1000kg . I tend to have my bobcat which lifts 800kg at a push and a 3 tonne telehandler.

    If you remember in 2009/10 it jumped from £28 a tonne to £40 a tonne and it s never come back down.

    I cant believe how the world moves stuff around to save pennies. Bit like ebay heads driving 200 miles to save £12 postage :lol:no wonder the worlds in a mess some of these people run it.

    The tory government put a tax of £15 a tonne on fc timber comming out the forest when they came to power. Because they did it private estates simply increased their price by £15 thats why cord wood costs so much and the men harvesting still earn very little.

    Alot of that was liquidation. We get long lengths when its shaped like a banana, split down the middle, full of knots alot of which has fell out, weathered or mis machined. Very little is usable for construction. Because the economy has slowed up there is alot less about.

    A few bits of 3x2 box section a log pick and a few hundred quid will make your life tonnes easier. If your making a fortune out of logs and fancy a rolls royce deck spend the money on a proper one.

    A few pics of what we are looking for. No pile to big if you have the wood we have the demand.

    That should work well as our busiest time for kindling is in the summer.

    Thanks for that I think I have one just up the road and have in the past been to see them never gave it a thought this time round.

    Looking for construction timber, carcassing , joinery offcuts needs to be untreated. Anything considered the closer to Andover Hampshire the better.

    If you have a 325 chain on a 3/8 bar I would imagine alot of friction. Your clutch may be or may have been ok.

    We have noticed in the last year we are having to pay more for joinery offcuts because the biomass market has been driving up the price. If people cant screw good money out of us they can fall back to bio mass.

    If my saw pulls to one side and cuts bananas its because my hand sharpening is different one side to the other. I put everything back in line after 7 sharpens by sticking the chain on the bench grinder.

    She must have spent best part of £3000

    If you are vat registered it makes a new one at jonses look like a bargain. People normally sell saws because they have had the best out of them.

    There is alot of good people on ebay buying and selling and are completely honest and a pleasure to meet. Unfortunately the other 50% are total dick heads.

    I have a ms390 which has served me well. Was like new from a dealer for £150. Does not always oil well and I think it is only a farm saw. After 4 years hard use probably needs a new spark plug I would imagine the husky is better but mine looks ok on the shelf in semi retirement.
  22. gensetsteve
    Ours looks exactly the same as markos with the top off Jon. Do you want it.
  23. gensetsteve
    If your not going to china for a one legged barrow heres ours Jon

    I have had coopers before alot of tire fitters call them 50 pence pieces because they often go out of shape before they wear out. They are made by avon and they are known for it. Sure enough mine went out of shape. My BFG went out of shape after 80,000 miles and 8 years I have bought a new set

    At 6ft you can live with most vehicles. Its the extra couple of inches or more that is the problem. The vito fits like a glove the vw transporter forget it. Biggest problem is knees banging dash and lack of thigh support. give it a drive and see if it fits.
