    Apparently the only thing from china worth a look is mitox. Its a shame they cant get their quality up as their labour rates are on the floor. Cheap skilled labour and quality components they could stand a chance when lets face it how good is the european stuff now. Everyone on here is picking through through the product lists trying to find something that does not pack up after a week.

    NFu will only insure a tipper if it was fitted by manufacturer or proper body builder. Boulter tippers In Tadley did ours came with a serial no as well.

    Spot on the difference between the best manufacturer price and internet price is £100. I sold one recently with a margin of £300 and thought why bother. Your right garden kit not worth the bother. The people that screw you down the hardest would not do the same if the boot was on the other foot.

    After a few more views I will tell you what I will accept, and what the market will stand. Just for info we tend not to deal with small sets now especially from the public and rarely get involved with repairs. Most of our work is Large commercial standby equipment for industry. We never sell, service or repair chinese equipment.

    Interesting thread. I have a question for everyone. What would you expect to pay for a generator Incl vat that I buy in trade from the manufacturer for £3000.00 In 21 years I have never received a penny from a manufacturer for warranty work it just does not happen. Often we have to spend hours finding out what the customer wants then un pack and commission set before we deliver to site. We tend to avoid most enquires now unless they are regular customers. We still get people ring up for advice pick our brains then buy online.

    Is that a solid cubic metre or the space it occupies in his trailer.

    I think I have a fuel card serv one and another with shell. This week its same price as yours 109 + vat = 131 which is very good on the motorways. I like them because I pick the most expensive garages without all the blue rinsers buying buns ( quick fill up ) bp garages always full of shoppers. Its ideal to have 2 cards when they take piss on the price you can use the other for a few weeks till the price comes down. Having bp and shell your never far from a station.

    Genius that way you loose your last part of the month and the new owner losses the first part of the month. Gov win win all part of the austerity measures remember were all in together well maybe not the bankers the politicians and the rich but the rest of us.

    I pay more for the wood and the net than cpl pay. That is of course if you can wait months for the money.

    John I have been organising transport for a big pile of poplar large diameter cut to 6ft in Hampshire. Are we sure its not the same pile. How many piles can there be looking for a home ?

    pump fuel finished of the fuel lines and diaphrams in my husky pole pruner. So rebuilt carb and thought it would be a good test for the litre bottle of aspen I was given at the apf show 3 years ago. The saw starts better smells better and cant feel any difference in performance success so far and the fuel is 3 years old

    If you know someone with transport and half of it is about the right size for us could be possible in two hits ?

    Hi mike possibly but it will be planked and cross cut so very little if any bark. From my tests it makes better kindling than the pine. Our supply of planned pine has increased since the price of chip fell out of the sky so if you prefer that should be ok for the summer.
  15. gensetsteve
    I would be interested in the pop if its 14-20" for making kindling. Just to make it worse can only get an 8 wheeler in this end.

    I would think most people on here were brought up with a work ethic. If you are working and genuinely struggling you should be able to get help. Alot of those people on there are in the best place. Imagine the damage they could do in the work place. Sitting around all day stuffing their faces drinking and smoking at least they should not live to a ripe old age.

    What makes you so sure its someone on here. I think there are a few people in the country that deliver logs that dont come on here. Surely if your not sure you are going to get paid on time you just dont deliver, or deliver something unusable
  18. gensetsteve
    The power station boys were getting 50% of the cost of the wood they burnt. So they could afford to double the rate. We have made kindling for years from down grade rejects from timber mills but last few years anything dry has been snapped up by the biomass boys. Now the subsidies have dried up its a bit easier for us.

    I never knew that. You see all these check shirts in America jumping up and down on logs in the river and think all wood floats. But I guess softwood at 800kg does. And green beech does not.
  20. gensetsteve
    Was it in the winter or summer
  21. gensetsteve
    I cant be arsed what happens ?
  22. gensetsteve
    With the grants on softwood they get more to extract it. If you strangle the market for hardwood the price stays high win win. but not for the small log guys.
  23. gensetsteve
    These figures work roughly the same as mine earlier. The only bit I dont get is beech cant weigh more than water otherwise it would sink.
  24. gensetsteve
    Thats how it works with firewood the less you do the more money you take home.

    No offence was taken but there did seem to be a few exclamation marks
