  1. You cant beat proper concrete on working areas machines sit level and you can power sweep after wards. I worked out the other day a pad 6mx6m 150mm thick with materials and labour wont leave much change from £1000 so not cheap areas used for storage are ok with lesser materials.
  2. Measure between two of the handles. generally 800mm = 0.56 cube 900mm = 0.7 cube 1000mm = 1cube
  3. I recently purchased a woodmizer LT15 and a user manual would be useful had a look on their site cant find a pdf. Any ideas
  4. Go for another dual mass. The vibration can damage the gearbox and some vehicles especially the transit suffer from clutch judder. Not sure about the disco
  5. Pretend your a farmer they never use lights. I have a 2140 if you think they are the same I will look for a manual. Got manuals for most things anything else big ammer.
  6. Sorry I was confused with somuch wood logs If I can identify what it looks like and get some I will gladly send you 10kg next day for £10 What does it look like? You could try Paul Gouldon in Hampshire he has all sorts tucked away. I bought a wood mizer this week been cutting everything up I can get the forks under.
  7. Not a chainsaw I know but we steam clean our wood processor every 3 years. That dusty oily coating does one thing. Keeps the rust out looks like new when you come to sell. If we steamed it every month the paint would be faded and every thing covered in rust.
  8. Is that the same as I dont want a cubic metre just fill my great big trailer for a tenner. Or does sumach wood excist
  9. Spend all week analy looking after £100,000 gensets. When I go out to play logs with horrible 2 stroke things I use them till they stop then chuck them in the corner of the workshop till theres a big pile then sort them out in one go. the air filters not blocked till it pushes the cover off. I would in no way recommend this behaviour on nice saws. I tend to buy trade ins at the dealer for £150 then when dead after 5 years go and buy another. works for me

  11. If you get really stuck or it does not work I have a box full of different types somewhere but will take me an hour to round them all up.
  12. We were working at a hospital recently and reversing the trailer when an inpatient pedestrian decided to save time by stepping over the draw bar on the trailer as it was moving. It turns out it was a hospital porter with a bad attitude luckily he never bent anything on the trailer.
  13. I was in winchester garden machinery and that 236 is on a deal at the moment £79.00 off so you can buy one for £140 new . That may not be posted out but may be worth ringing them.
  14. The amount of cheap wood about is irrelevant. Cheaper wood means more people will turn away from gas and oil. Higher demand will mean your services will be more in demand. The way I have always looked at it is I am only interested in the hourly rate after all costs have been accounted. The reason we are now packing in the logs is I am not prepared to stock 50k in cord and 30k in machinery to earn £20 an hour. I am in no way saying logs are a waste of time its just in my area we are now over run with people doing logs on a very large scale in some cases. I probably work 70 hrs a week and now concentrating on large generator service and kindling wholesale I might actually get my life back
  15. I got this image of someone humping logs.
  16. £10 an hour candles are romantic maybe put the set to bed on aspen then run on petrol during the outage.
  17. Maybe not in a 13hp though.
  18. Ay steady some of us make a good living out of other peoples fear of the dark. You can buy an additive that extends the life of fuel in the tank. With Labour policy on wind turbines you may all need those gennys soon
  19. Problem with that poem is alot of the general log buying public use it as a buyers guide when they ring to order logs.
  20. Do you get a lot of condensation in that office of yours? Yes especially now the roof leaks into a bucket. I give those sticks another ride on the wood burner yesterday and now they are now so dry cant get a reading, one ride still 30% two rides and they have gone black on the ends . Meter still seems to tell the truth on everything else though. As you say coomon sense, it just surprised me how quick they dropped this time of year in the wind.
  21. less the wheel arches
  22. I have used quicken invoice for about 18 years but the version we have I dont think will work on later operating systems so we are in the same position as you. I have heard it can be done on excel. I have a pc guru coming tonight will know more then.
  23. If it does not affect your work tues - friday I would think they would be ok but if you show up half asleep tuesday with a bad back it might not go down well.
  24. I would imagine the gov will use health and safety to send it somewhere but the real reason will be money for the boys.
