  1. i dont understand why youd want to start a fresh if you had no creditors only bad debtors surely it would work in your favour as tax would be less and you have funds to continue trading:confused: Sent from my GT-I8160 using Tapatalk 2
  2. hI just to let you all know we are pleased to have running our yard full time our new Wood Fuel Operations Manager - Brian Plant - some of you may have already met Brian. He comes to us from the fitting side of stoves etc and has great knowledge of wood as fuel and indeed stoves and heating installations. I will still be on site doing paper work etc:thumbdown: and we now have a dedicated team of three at the yard working with Brian on the production side. Rohan and his team of forestry guys are now strangers in the yard:lol: Joy
  3. here here - this country is bogged down with managers, middle managers, quangos and legislation that serves no purpose but to make work for the managers and administrators get rid off all this silly heirarchy and get back to basics - but it will never happen:thumbdown:
  4. fastracs are fab!! my hubby would sleep in ours given half a chance he loves it to bits, but has driven all sorts, ours pulls 18t timber around out of forest and back to yard no problem , yes other tractors would do the job but the big fastracs for about 15k are brill but spend 80 grand on a big john deere or valtra and it would be just as good, but only the modern big tractors can compete with the older big fastracs go for a big 185/65 f

  11. sorry me trying to keep typing short cause im in my mobile. what i mean is is it near the house as poplars take up a hell of amount of water cutting it down in one if close to house could cause problems in the ground and soil conditions around the house. i know youve got all your tickets good for you. but things like this info can only be judged by experience. i cant make out from photos how close it is.

  15. good one ! must admit for the last few years used a local chimney sweep to sweep every six months. this last october roh was busy as usual so again i said ill ring mr. chimney sweep he said no ill do it. and to both our amazement such alot of soot came out as the sweep was literraly donbe in ten minutes roh took his time really sweeping each pole before adding the next ...our conclusion if you want a job doing properly do it yourself ...all in all the chimney took a good thirty minutes of sweeping abuse and the aga was taken apart n cleaned ... jobdone joy Sent from my GT-I8160 using Tapatalk 2

  18. one of our stipulations to get most of our kit insured through NFU is that they have everything through them i.e. house insurance and farm insurance and then they will look at all the tractors and all the work vehicles.

  24. very true - we know alot of forestry guys, treeemen and firewood guys and they know us as honest folks - who dont big ourselves up and dont bull.
  25. some come across as that far up there own. they can see daylight. and there knowledge is questionable others genuine posts i find folks on here really do know what there on about as there knowledge has been learnt from good honest toil and the school of hard knocks. those that tend to big themselves up now i can see thru straight away.
