  1. Borrow another one push your one up and out. Failing that do you have a relative with very small child.
  2. I have been known in my younger days to fill the trailer from the tip drive to the boot. home by 1 with £250 in my pocket to make the mortgage and feed the kids
  3. I have found the bbc 5 day on the net to often be accurate to the hr. Yet the bbc 10 day often says something completely different and is rarely right.
  4. Lighting towers are excellent value for money. Be careful if you try to do it again as most are not 12 wire machines and cant be reconnected ie if they are 110 volt machines thats your lot and visversa.
  5. The p6000s was very quiet if you need your set quieter than that you either need to spend some serious money or diy as you have said. Pramac is now not an option as they have gone bust.
  6. Ok for power cuts but not for living off grid. Badged as Hyundai but made in china by kipor or kama. We did import one container of these about 8 years ago never again
  7. After servicing generators for 25 years I still think there is only one set for this application. Lister 1500rpm flat top aircooled even 15 years old with standby hrs would be ok. Not a watercooled alpha whatever you do. Or possibly a new 1500 rpm watercooled Kubota.
  8. :biggrin:If you dont ask you dont get. My bags are 40x50cm and hold about 4-5kg Nice neat bags you can see them in my gallery. We have good stock this week but if it comes in cold next week we will be back to making to order. Have a go at making your own and stock some of ours and see how you go. If you get good sales but are too busy to keep making your own you can fall back to us. We are In Andover. drop in for a look, give us a bell to make sure someone is here. 07801 953338
  9. All good ideas if you have a lot of spare time on your hands. If not we can supply neat ready to collect nets for. £1.60 a bag. Ready to sell for £3.95
  10. If your equipment tank is clean and your fuel supply clean, your filters will be clean. Same fuel filter on my disco for 4 years no reason your tractor cant be the same.
  11. I used to insure my tractor a 1981 john deere with a company in hampshire that specialises in classic tractor insurance. They included limited business use and any private use for £70 a year. Your not going to be able to use it for serious forestry work but small business ok and tractor needs to be over 25 years old. If you time it right you get 13 months as well. If interested I will dig out the details. I stopped using them because we occasionally hire in a big new john deere to pull our big trailer. Now that side of the business is dead I will sell trailer and go back to them.
  12. No Jon sober as a judge. I need some of that cider keeps me compliant. I make sure I am off the sauce when I post or you cant believe what you wrote in the morning judging by some of the posts a lot of others find the same.
  13. I sell a 1.5 cubic metre tipped load which I now describe as approx 3 bulk builders bags. If my competition is selling .7 or 1cu metre bags tough luck I already have the business
  14. Clean your tanks out. If you draw water into the fuel pump dont leave there in cold weather as it will freeze and crack the pump open. Get in there with a pump and get the crap off the bottom not just run out of fuel as the fuel line does not drain the vehicle tank to the bottom.
  15. John and mike do you fancy job sharing the chancellor position a kind of coalition. I am not too bothered about the whole tax thing as I will be earning 250k a year pretty much like all the previous mps.
  16. Yep anything for votes
  17. I tried to buy a house years ago and asked a good friend to look over it before I committed to getting a surveyor. It was offers around 85k I carried on making offers to 95k which was enough. But to flush out who bought it I bid it up to 105k. Guess who bought it my mate. moral of story play your cards close to your chest. You could get out what you can. then offer a lot more for the rest blow it apart then walk away.
  18. For the first bit I need to be careful as my usp for being a politician is I fit into this description. For anarchy you need to move to Andover I think its currently Friday and saturday night.
  19. Lots of work on, been off for 3 weeks cant get back into it. Thanks for your vote. Must kick my own butt otherwise I will put on 6 stone wear tracksuit bottoms lots of gold chains and sit outside costa coffee in a scooter.
  20. Thanks I am happy to change any policy over night to gain a vote.
  21. A business is a way of making money to pay your mortgage support your family and feed your children. If enough people treat business as a hobby everyone will need to have new equipment work 100 hrs a week and live on the bread line. I understand when starting business if you are young you can fast track it to better success by taking less out for 3 years. But I see a few people owning businesses now in their forties still working 70 hrs a week and they are skint. Why ?
  22. I cant back any of the current parties so thought I would start my own. In my first week of office I thought I would sanction £25k for all arborists to spend on what ever arb toys they want. Driving licences for disabled scooters assessing the need. Being just too fat would be a fail. Immigrants are welcome as long as they have £250,000 in their back pocket. Special parking at tescos for the unfit and lazy. That would be the spaces at the back of the overflow car park. Anyone who works for a bank and earns more than 50k 99% tax rate. All speed cameras to be removed accept the one outside my house. Capital gains tax to be abolished. Stamp duty abolished Starbucks sell coffee for £3 there is tax to pay on the £2.80 profit. H&S will be optional people working in the admin can become traffic wardens. All traffic wardens to be exported. I am open to ideas but think we may need to find some dosh somewhere.
  23. I have read most of the thread not all so apologies if I repeat something. My understanding is as long as you subbies do less than 60% of their work for you and have their own expenses run their own vehicles and look for their own work the IR will be ok with it. The down side is if you pay a subby without deducting tax and they do a bunk or go bust you will be responsable for the unpaid tax. I would have thought the authorities should be grateful for the fact that people can find work and be prepared to do it. They need to focus their resources on the third generation lazy ******* that have no intension of ever working a day in their lives.
  24. They like rear pads especially towing as there is no brake proportioning valve. They rely on abs to release the wheel if it locks.
  25. I see a lot of genuine log sellers stressing over whether their logs are 18 or 20% from experiencing logs from other people, I would say 80% of the logs delivered to homes at the moment are off the meter on moisture. If you cut green beech into cord wood and leave it for a year when you split it in the middle it will be at least 30% moisture. Some of the 4" stuff will be ok but bigger than this forget it.
