REF new 2.2 engine one land rover 90/110 has anyone got one
gensetsteve replied to mendiplogs's topic in General chat
Td5 is ok once you learn to drive it with a bit more rev. Its not actually revving high just sounds it compared to the 4cyl 300 tdi -
Those forklift tyres look a bit hard for bumpy tracks when the tipper is full of logs. Now Landrover are out of it maybe it will be worth Toyota bringing some commercial Landcruisers in. Not the 4.2 guzzlers I have but some nice 3.0 litre d4d

I have a hunter in the house about 8 years old been very good. Bought a new burner this week called a solution made by arada in Dorset. Amazed how little wood it uses and how much heat comes out. Things have come along way in the last few years.
-
Because he suggested £35 for the green. If he sends it out next day for £65 thats £30 profit for nothing.
-
I agree, I tried our local rag a few times small ad cost £45 twice a week not one order that I know of. Local free paper £30 for business card size ad comes out every 3 weeks on average 7 new customers ea time we have a go and its not very often so its not like it builds up either. One ad every now and again and bang new orders.

Been in business 20 years have 3 businesses yp waste of time thomson even worse. We put ours in the bin when it comes, if people cant be found online they have gone bust.

Is he really saveing it till next year or taking advantage of the cold snap. He could be competeing with you on price and you are doing most of the work.
-
He probably had several boys round and picked there brains on how to do it. I have the image in my head of the opening credits of simpsons when hommer is reaching for the 6 pack on the wires

I think if you carry on down the road as you approach centre parks you will find the longleat forestry place on the right. I had a chat with them and there prices they virtually give the stuff away. They weigh the cars out and it was about £70 a tonne. I went to cp about 7 years ago and the chimneys then could not stand the heat of proper logs thats why its the in house bricks. Watch you dont burn it down.

I would sell as is if you get a mechanic in to strip it and find cracked heads bent valves and holed pistons it will be unsaleable and in bits and you will have his bill in your hand. As it stands its a project for a ebay head. They love something for nothing

I read somewhere if you are ill with a cold or the start of flu you could damage your slein if you are lifting weight. Anyone know anything about this.

You only pay tax if the property has made a profit and you have used your allowances. I think you can allocate alot of things as your pension but then you cant sell and realise the money until you retire. I would rather pay alot of tax on a large profit than avoid tax and see very little back.
-
I think property has alot further to fall in value as much as a third. I think in a few years there will be some good rental opportunities houses that cost 140k may drop to 80. Give this some thought as its as important to have somewhere to live as it is to pay some suited fat cat manager his commission. It will be more difficult to get a mortgage if your throwing £200 a month into a black hole. The reason pension schemes are so complicated is so they can rob you blind without you realising until its too late. I am the generation that got ripped off with mortgage endowements and now we are working to prop up the banks again.

Wish I had some of your beech cord, mine which was cut may last year approx 8 inch dia is 35% within 6 inches of the end. The other variable which helps is time of year its cut and if its left in shade or open sun. Mine will be processed in a few weeks time I find if you do it now it will go mouldy on the end.
-
That was sort of last resort plan B. I have a 1.5 hr drive and need to power down the factory before removal so thought I would see if one of the reliable members on here could help. Saves another return trip and looks better to the client if its quick and slick. If it was in Andover I could take our crane trailer but 65 miles with a tractor is a bit far.

I would view most pension schemes with suspicion most seem to pay below building society rates at best and your money is locked for 20-30 years. When you retire You need to be either skint and hopefully pick up social benefits if they still exist ( ie get your tax back ) or be very well off. Being slightly better than skint and saving all your life will probably leave you worse off as people are finding now.
-
Could anyone with a telehandler, front loader, or Hiab give me hand to lift a generator in the next few days could be evenings or Saturday. Its in Crawley west sussex.

Our td5 disco van with 600kg in the boot does 30 mpg on a long run. Around town 25 . Had slicks bfg at and bfg mud terrains on ats knock it 3mpg mud terrains 5 mpg. If you think you might sit neck deep in mud buy a 200/300 tdi if you think you may want to do 200 miles in a day get a TD5

I cant see as there is such a thing as seasoned cord wood. If you need to buy dry cord in July to pull a fast one thats different but its too late. You may aswell wait a few weeks and process green for next year it will be much easier to process. If you are trying to process straight out now it will be green even if its been in cord for years. If people have run out they will be trying to burn the stuff the same night.

forgot to say try a brand new chain. Also we run on the 1000 pto with engine at 1100 rpm gives around 540 rpm using an adaptor. If you are on a 540 rpm pto the eng sounds too slow but check handbook .
-
The most likely thing is you are sharpening by hand and the chain is sharper one side than the other or the teeth are bigger one side. The bar is trying to cut a banana shape but cos its fixed in one plain cant. I avoid this by putting in a bench grinder after 6 hand sharpens. Check the bar is fixed at exactly 90 deg to the timber.
-
Ok thanks
-
I was told and my experience backed up that 325 chain will stay sharp longer than the small pico 3/8 chain on the same saw I offered an opinion I was not paid for it. I do not need to justify or prove myself to you. I take it you now admit you were wrong about the saws.
-
Depends sometimes we go days without needing to sharpen sometimes hrs if the cord is dirty. Advantage to chain is if you hit debris you are back in business in minutes and its only cost u £3
