    I would say it's a 2000kva fg wilson set it has a wilson control panel. If it is made in China it will need 500 pieces a month to keep it running 😊

    But not for long those Perkins engines were not the best. I think they took over the design when they bought out Dorman. Judging by the colour and the p2000 made by fg wilson in Ireland.

    There is something satisfying about loading an arctic with the result of many hours of toil. How many bags on that load looks about 48 pallets. What timber do u use and how many bags an hour.
  4. gensetsteve
    We still make really nice kindling but we still don't deliver unless you take at least 14 pallets at a time the haulage will probably kill the profit for you. 200 bags on 2 pallets will be £65 per pallet + vat just for the haulage.

    You forgot marriage guidance Joy I think everyone has the ability to ask stupid questions just some are better at it than others

    The reason I don't lend kit out is most people do not look after your kit as you do. If a job gets hard rather than pause and find a solution they abuse your kit as the repairs will not come out of their pocket a few months down the line. I used to have a small fleet of large silent hire generators. In the space of a week I was chasing payment on several hires paying for a new injection pump as someone had refilled the tank with water to save acing for diesel on off hire. The new set I had just paid 20 k for and sent out on hire someone with thick grease on their boots had scrabbled up the side and walked all over the roof. I sent the whole collection to auction banked the money and not looked back.

    I had a mk 4 and got a professional tipper conversion done very versatile but a bit lacking in the payload stakes. About 400 kg if you need to stay legal. The ram and steel work eat well into the Load margin. For chip I would go for a 3500 kg gross truck

    If I wear steel toe caps within an hour my ankles are crippled. I have broken and twisted my ankles on several occasions. I think the weight of the toe cap causes a lever effect on the ankle. Better that than loosing your toes. Shame they don't make a tough alloy toe cap. I assume the composite cap is plastic.

    The wood worm only migrate for a month in the summer I think ?

    We tried a container load of Chinese canopied silent diesel generators. Most where dead within a few months. We had a demo which has the oil changed at less than 50 hours and never gets more than 70 % load and is still going strong after 10 years so it does make you wonder if it's operator error. The genuine yanmar is 3 times the price and smokes like a pig when cold unlike the who flung dung. Thieves don't seem so keen on the Chinese stuff either. There is a good dealer network every scrap yard in the country has one on the pile.

    I have the same problem. Big drive way currently scalpings. I have just put 4 inches of clean 20 mm limestone down. Small version of what you see on the central reservation. I did not go for Tarmac due to price also if anything drops oil on it it softens and you end up with a whole after the bobcat has twiddled on it a few times. We get a bit of dust wash down of the road and I would spend my life brushing it up. I think Block pavers would loosen with a skid steer about. £500 goes along way with gravel. I think a proper Tarmac job would be in the region of £30k . The gravel looks good and stops the dust blowing about and walking in the house time will tell when the mud drops of the machinery as it leaves. I was thinking of hireing in a machine to clean it in a year or two.

    How much is the one on the Landry
  13. gensetsteve
    Good to hear they found it and you are on the mend. Hand an examination couple of years ago thought the doctor got the rough end of the stick so to speak
  14. gensetsteve
    If you got lots of money you will get more. If you don't and don't earn much it's going to get tougher. If your too lazy to work it's going to get even tougher than it was. Same as every other time the Tories are in.

    As a regular drinker for 30 years last October I almost cut it out altogether. I have been experimenting and have found even a bottle of magners makes me a happy drunk but grumpy the next day. Three bottles and it seriously knocks my energy levels the next day. I like a drink but it just does not agree with me after 3 months I felt 20 years younger and lost 2 stone.

    I never understood why people carry strikers about flicking stones at their teeth. I have a very old honda 4 stroke. I think it spins slower but has more torque I get a lot less thrown at me. The negs would be getting the wheels through the ruts. Also narrow paths are hard work and following a wall involves a bit of dancing other than that built to last less emmissions in your face. I think they are more ideal for large areas of rough grass.

    we used to call it the last chance pedal. If it didn't work pub.

    I thought it engaged the flux capacitor as it was getting dark in November at 3 pm when the sleet is coming down side ways and you forgot to deliver to 3 customers.
  19. gensetsteve
    He he Best one I had was told customer my trailer took 2cu metres of logs and it was £180 so he said he knew someone who would fill that trailer for £60. So I said go there then. He promptly asked if he could borrow the trailer I was lost for words and nearly said yes

    Does mrs plogs know what you have planned for tonight jon😀
  21. gensetsteve
    A local garden centre told me they have to be careful what they use now due to lack of fire proofing.
  22. gensetsteve
    Does any one use the skin you see over garden centres it lets the light through but has a sort of reinforcement in it. Bit thicker than the normal stuff may be not ideal for growing stuff but ideal for logs.
  23. gensetsteve
    Time will tell on this one. I would defo cut a pallet down for the Middle and loose the ply wood as that is the most likely bit for mould. Now they are stacked in there you may as well keep going. If you find after a week the bags are bleaching you could sneak something over the stack like hessian sack to keep the sun off but still allow breathing.
  24. gensetsteve
    You could put the green mushroom skin on it. I have both but the tunnel with clear polly I would not risk nets in their for a week let alone 10. If i leave anything in their it's destroyed in a few weeks and we are talking push bikes watering cans anything it gets up to 45 deg perfect for logs in ibc frames but nothing else.
  25. gensetsteve
    I used to work out 1 tonne of green beech gave me 1.5 cubic metres of loose logs and if I got more then it paid for the service on the Ferrari
