Free for collection. Bone dry clean pine saw dust from our cross cut saw. We can produce 3 or 4 cubic metres a week when busy. I used to have someone that used it but think he packed up. I think it is to fine and dusty for rabbit bedding.

We had a 2x which I think is the same machine. We should have bought a 37 or bigger. The 2 x is a good fast machine but is pants for any cord over 9.5 inches. If you are only going to do stuff 6-10 inches will be ok but cord tends to be bigger these days.

Hopefully the penny will drop soon. If we keep importing cheap stuff no one will pay taxes. No taxes no nhs no benefits should you need them.Simples.

Currently our glass is more than half full and I am looking to keep it that way

The price of firewood round our way is on the floor and there are plenty of people doing the job the right way. Margins are as tight as firewood but as we concentrate on kindling we can get the efficiency. Many of our customers used to make 1000 bags a year or so for themselves but now concentrate on processing logs.

Big thanks to everyone that has been in for kindling. Busiest 6 weeks we have had since we started 6 years ago. Stocks of timber and kindling are low but we are flat out now trying to get some excess stock for winter hope the log sales are going well for everyone looks like it could be a good winter.

I should mention the Brian James has rubber suspension. When it's empty it bounces around well but the Amazon has the weight to keep it under control it would not surprise me if these trailers give double cabs a hard time. My old ifor used to clack and bang but never bounced the truck around.

Twin axle 3500 kg pull it with the Amazon. You only need the tri axle if your going to pull it with one of those slack old defender things

I went for the 16 ft Brian James flat bed with sides and full mesh kit. Not as strong as ifor but easier to live with and at least they bolt the axles on square. I like the steel area down ea side to strap down. I like the way the sides are split into three so it's easier for one person to put the sides on. A better thought out better finished product. Just not as tough.

I respect your point of view if it works for you and others that's great. Just does not sit right with me, not an age thing just decency. If your not sitting on a bit of money you need the £50-£80 more than ever. Start as you mean to go on. What young lads lack in experience they make up for in youth and energy and that's coming from someone with a middle age head and body

It's got to be worth you hanging on for the new hilux. When the mk6 came out it was a good truck but 9 years on its a bit long in the tooth. That d4d has been clattering its way around since 2002.

Somebody has to be really poor to not be worth £50 a day. If someone was that bad you would be happy to give them £50 as long as they don't come back. To use someone for the day and pay nothing is very poor. How would local tree surgeons feel about doing a free day around my place before I ask for a quote.

Have you met your match John

An honest reliable trust worthy grafter that has no text facility. Common sense personable, clean and equipped with sarnies. Of course it helps if his parents are rich retired farmers with a redundant secure yard with out buildings and containers.

I should have put to make holes in the soil for a pole barn.

I want to put some telegraph poles planted nr andover hants. Access is good so a skid steer or similar would be ideal. I have a bobcat if someone just has an auger. Cash waiting.

I thought it looked new. When there are trucks like that around it does not make sense to buy new. Clean looking truck and perfect colour

I bought a new ifor box trailer 10x5 2500kg the front axle was 1.5 inches pissed out of line and wearing the tyres one side and towed like crap. Ifor could not find anything better in stock so they refunded the money. The 3500 kg box has bolt on spring hangers so can be adjusted. When I was looking for a 16 ft flat bed one dealer showed me a trailer where only 3 wheels were on the deck due to twisted chassis while it was galvanised. Ifor are a good strong trailer and imo tow better than the rubber suspension when empty but they need to loose some of the cheap imported parts and screw them together properly.

Everything honda make is very good ( apart from formula one engines ) I did hear a few moans when honda moved the manufacture of small genies to China but I have no experience as I tend to work on the big diesels.

I went to Hyundai in Pembroke for a look see. I thought there suitcase range looked good even has remote control. No idea how reliable or robust but they have put their name to it. No idea what kipor handbags are like but if they are like the diesels they will be complete crap.

I never bothered getting bricks under warranty it's still going in the office I seem to remember it should have been £700 and the garden centre scanned it at £300 thinking it was on special offer

We have a hunter now 13 years old original un cracked bricks. We have a small villager the bricks were cracked within weeks. Even so I think a better stove. More heat and more controllable and better made. Smaller and very efficient

It's not worth it for pleasure either jon. You could buy a nice second hilux for the 12 k and keep the new one for pleasure. Sounds like the gearboxes are trouble so that ones out now. Back to the hilux.

This only my opinion based on ownership. The hilux is head and shoulders above the rest and worth the money especially second hand. The mk 5 was twice the truck of anything else at the time. The new 2.5 has nearly the same feel power wise when driven and according to the test reports you don't need the 3 litre. But if you are towing especially if you are pushing the limits buy the 3 litre. The only thing that lets the hilux down is the official towing limits but it tows as well as any of the others. If you buy a hilux they had engine problems around 2008 make sure the injector seals were done and the engine was not oil starved I think there was a few injector problems and they are hundreds of pounds each. Other than that the d4d engines are bullet proof and economical. If I had six makes of double cab lined up from different makes the rest were £300 the hilux was £2000 I would buy the hilux. The Amarok is a better pick up but nobody knows how the 2 ltr engine will survive and a decent spec is pushing £35,000
