    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.

    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

    A local garden centre told me they have to be careful what they use now due to lack of fire proofing.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    Put a fiver in and take a tenner change they stop asking after a few weeks.

    I was surprised how many liked to avoid issuing weight tickets and just how much twisty 3 inch stuff they could get into a load of beech

    I bought an old green mech Eco 150 I think it's called. Chipper and shredder in one with hatz diesel engine. Brilliant bit of kit use it once in a blue moon on my 1 acre garden but would not bother with a smaller machine it just gets on with in and drags in big gobs of brash. Paid about 4 k for it a couple of years ago and it's probably still worth 4 k. I chip lots of par 2x1 and waste from the kindling to make weed suppressant.

    Most that ring here are ting tongs

    Just say your on the tps phone goes straight down if they are uk based they could be fined.

    I was even tighter when doing granny logs I even allowed for the extra waste on the cuts. Our processor had a 325 chain and every cut you lost 8 mm of log. More cuts = less log.

    Not sure but if I was looking to buy one I would ask the dealer theses questions. One of the symptoms of dpf problems is poor fuel consumption. I am sure the rodeo is a good strong work truck and reliable but most of the time I use mine as a car and often doing 450 motorway miles a day. The Rodeo is ok but the Amorok is getting near to luxury 4x4 comfort. The hilux is ok but bit noisey on the engine unless you like the transit growl when pushed hard which I don't mind it is a truck after all. I could have changed my vehicle 7 years ago but so far nothing has enticed me out of my old LC amazon. The new v8 lc is not great for the money and far too electronic for a work vehicle. I like straight 4 or 6 cyl engines v8'stuff too complicated too much emmission control and no room to work on them.

    I don't own one but was told by a dealer a few weeks ago the oil dilution was only a problem if the vehicle was pottled about slowly round farmers fields and left ticking over while you feed pheasants etc. if you spend half your time on A roads and motorways you should be ok.

    To get the charge alternator to charge you need to excite it with 24 volts. The small wire often a spade terminal gets its feed from the ignition switch so there could be a fault on this circuit. To test alternators on site we pull the wire off and jump it of the battery. If we still don't get an out put its the alternator.

    I found the stilhl one about 3 % optimistic. As said above get funny readings normally low batteries then you need to get your battery tester out. I tried the banging together bit I could only sus green and fully seasoned. A meter gives an idea as to how much longer they need to season.

    That's what I keep telling the wife but she just giggles and snorts what's that about then :elefant:
  21. gensetsteve
    I did spend a few minutes stretching my arms out in the front room getting strange looks from the wife trying to work out if you needed a blade or a ships keel. 😊

    During my recent Landrover experience the fuel was the cheap bit
  23. gensetsteve
    Good way of looking at it especially since your in your twenties. What first time buyers have forgotten is old gits like me had a property that was worth less than they paid for it for 7 years and the interest rate went over 10 % also some of us got stuffed with endowments so have had to pay twice

    I think you have to remember they are sensationalising and making a programme to entertain. In a lot of cases it will annoy the working man. In many of the deprived areas of Britain work is scarce especially the unskilled low paid jobs as lots have been taken by the influx of Europeans over the last 15 years. Nothing against people moving around Europe and working but it does make it hard for people over here when a house cost 40 k in Poland. If the government has decided it's cheaper to pay dole than subsidise industry to compete against the world what can you do ? . Yes there is work out there especially in the south but how far are you going to get in life if most jobs are zero hours and £7 an hour. What is the average cost of a house in the south 240 k ?

    If driving a Landrover makes you that stressed and up tight I definately sticking to the landcrusiers. Bad day at the office ?
