Looks a good tool. I would go with the bolster idea and get them over made proper job. If you need to pick up rings and waste may be worth getting a roro skip and pulling it up on the tilt body with crane or winch. Or getting some midi skips you can load and unload with crane.

I assume the norway spruce is about 10" in diameter. I would be interested if it were 15-22" I would put it through the woodmiser for kindling. The chestnut is ok for firewood in a wood burner as it spits on an open fire.

So if you have been towing 3.5 tonne of plant for 20 years with out problems or incident counts for nothing unless you have been on a days towing course.

If its outside they will take it. Even if you take four wheels and hitch off. They will bring their own put two on the back and chain through the A frame.

Tractors under 100hp doing less than 20 mph with hydraulic brakes keep things as they are. Over 100hp driving test and minimum age 18 lots more regulation. And I hate regulations but this is crazy at the moment round our way young kids flat out round country lanes.

Where do you start on a post like this. Alot of good points maybe a bit too much generalisation. A licence or ticket says you have had some tuition and hopefully reached a minimum standard to operate that piece of kit. No substitute for more experience. All generations can be safe or dangerous the old boys can be careless and slow to react. The young dont have a sense of self preservation till they hit 25 limited only by how much they can open the governor. The owner driver of an £80,000 truck is unlikely to want to scratch the paint and rip the mirrors of just to deliver your pallet. The employed driver with an 8 year old wreck wont give a toss. I think alot of farmers dont really give a toss if a young lad is competant as long as they sit in the cab for 16 hrs for peanuts. The kit is insured. Unfortunately its the lives of my wife and kids that is at risk sharing the roads. I think the idea is to slow down your not answer an emergency or putting out a fire. Its low value agricultral goods. Remember you may not get hurt in the accident but you will when the husband comes round to see you.

Our logs were always the right size for the customer, no trash and easily below 25% moisture. We had around 100 regular customers and all but a hand full would go elsewhere for cheap logs when they were about. We used to charge £80 a cube and still do when we have some. We would be dead until January then sell out in a few weeks unless it was mild then we would be left with a pile of logs. I looked into importing logs but the price I would pay was exactly the same as the idiots charge around here. I have other much better ways of making money and cant see the point in making an already difficult time harder for the decent log sellers in my area so now concentrate on supplying them with kindling. If you encourage the import of logs they will get established and by pass you and supply the public direct.

Because of the grants they get more to supply softwood so feel you should pay the same pro rata for hardwood. But the public wont pay proper money for logs. So you are stuck between a rock and a hard place. The grants are drying up now so the tide may turn.

Wish I had known about the adaptor then, I took it back for a refund. The camera worked at night like it was day time. I think it was supposed to be a security camera with a 1 in lens much better quality than these little chinese car cams.

Trouble is they may find some scrote that has squirreled the wood away from work and needs cash for christmas. But there is not much you can do about that. If you have a list of sizes I can supply the wood half price and with a vat ticket.

My last one was in sale at halfords £15 . I dont pay much for them as they get smashed or water gets in. Make sure its a mirror image. I bought a fantastic sony camera once and then found people over taking me on the nearside which is strange on an A road let alone the motorway.

I can see all sides to this but while hardwood is £70 a tonne delivered in the odd nice straight ash tree in a farmers field suddenly looks ok for a mornings work. Unfortunately some of the easy jobs tree surgeons used to get will be done free leaving the difficult take downs.

Ifor williams proper abusable leaf springs. Indespension tiny little wheel bearings cheap rubber suspension. Ifor williams here.

A few more accidents and it wont be long before a focus group gets hold of it. If the industry self regulates and sorts itself out now will be better than being pushed into it. Keep under the radar they will leave you alone shout on a forum about what you are up to they wont. The authorities catch more people on face book now than you could imagine. Do a search on google with the words fastrak and speed you will probably find your post on here and so will they.

I have a 5kw log burner in the lounge I fan the warm air from the ceiling around the rest of the house a 3 bed bungalow. We also have oil fired central heating. Since June I have used £200 in oil and about 2 cu metres of logs. I know its been mild but my house is not great on the insulation front but is still warm as toast through out. I understand about the grants etc but when they run out you will be paying through the nose for hard wood and still loading the boiler manually. If I dont burn logs I get through at least 2000 litres of oil. on a hard winter we burn about 6 cu metres of logs and 1000 litres of oil. My point is I see alot of people spending a lot of money on solving a problem that may not actually excist . You produce the btu's you just got to get it round the house.

Does he seriously think knocking on peoples doors on a Sunday evening is going to be well received.

Makes you wonder if the outcome would have been different if you were a little old lady.

Yes sdmo JD engine great little sets stand up to the weather give no grief. Life cycle depends on how long the customer owns the store and who takes over. Anything we take out normally gets auctioned. We are too busy to sort out boomerangs.

It will be emergency back up for the smoke extraction system. Most of my shopping centre work is either smoke or sprinkler pump back up. Seem to be all over the country doing shopping centres at the moment.

A little roof top generator install in the shopping centre "The One" near the Albert dock in Liverpool. The second pic you can see the Liverbirds in the back ground.

We have finally after 8 months got in front of the orders and have about 700 bags spare and rising. 40x50 see through Monofilament nets weighing about 4kg at 14% moisture. Neat well filled nets which do not go out of shape. You can get about 125 bags in a 2cu metre space and takes about 10 mins to hand ball them on. Cash and carry only I am afraid we dont have the time to Pallet and load. If anyone needs some let me know.

Thats a pain I have no id. Can be a real pain getting a drink ( I think not )

No completely wrong. Thats a rule made up by sad caravanners. The defenders tow 3500kg legally with overrun brakes. Vosa guys do have a sense of humur you see them rolling around on the floor when ever they see a transit double cab coming down the road.

A secure lock up for the chipper and a farmers field to drop of the chip they dont need to be together.

Pictures Please are you thinking of pulling with 4x4. I picked a 9ft deep 7.5 ft wide one up on an ifor williams it was a bit of a lump and the foot of snow on the steep hill a 1/4 mile from home did not help at all.
