I doubt you'd get an economical price for 100 bags - they have quite a bit of print set up to cover . I used to have something similar and it was about 42p a bag based on 3000 (from memory).

I have a business contract with 3. Unlimited data, unlimited tethering, unlimited messages and 500 minutes. £17 plus VAT. No handset but you can get a older samsung (S5) for pretty cheap. Same deal whilst you are abroad at no extra cost. The tethering is really good, i run my tablet off it. Just as usable as when its on the wifi.

Not that it makes its any easier to swallow but Facebook and Google got scammed out of £75 million each recently by some Lithuanian guy. The scammers and their 'art' is tried and tested over two decades now. Gone are the days of randm emails from an African prince needs your help to transfer €100 million dollars. It's all about very subtle, highly believable items like this. I believe with Facebook it was as easy as emailing the account managers posing as one of their suppliers and advising they had set up a new account and for all payments to go into that forthwith. Without question they did and invoice of £75m were paid before anyone twigged.

Unfortunately the money will be long gone and you won't get it back as you willingly put it into an account. The scammers will have opened an account where you were both signaturories (which might sound logical if you could both check you had put the money in). Both parties could withdraw the full funds. The problem is of course they set up the account and of course already had the cards and log in details - as soon as your money is in the account they transfer to an non EU account and gone - Probably into another false account in another country. Unfortunately the crucial part of the case is you transfered the funds yourself, they didn't take your details, steal your card, access you account without permission. Painful lesson to learn but what doesn't kill you makes you strong and all that.

NPORS sounds like the way forward. As briquette mentioned £2k and 9 days of not working is a hell of a cost.

I think yorkshire loader is just a user as well. Doesn't sound like he sells MO's.

Look at the flail manufacturers range and go somewhere in the middle as a minimum would be my suggestion. A 1.75m mulcher as pictured is going to need 60hp at the very least which excludes most small and medium alpines. I'd have thought 75hp+ would be best.
-
I haven't used a mulcher like that on an alpine but would definitely want a properly guarded cab. With a powerful flail It would be far too easy for debris to be launched forwards, hit something and come back at you. A small flint or both of wire fencing could easily kill you if it hit you in the throat.
-
It does look a bit risky as you're hand gets closer to the chain. You wouldn't want to trip/fall towards it either.... I wonder if the lack of guarding is why it's not commonly available in the UK?
-
I got my B+E in 2014 and license in 2000 so I think I'm limited to 3.5t + 3.5t until I take another test. I'm considering going for full C+E. Good to know you have all bases covered.

I'd just get a petrol/electric saw bench. Quick and easy.
-
The guy came me back to me pretty quickly. It's 8.25t GTW with approx 3t kerb weight. So with the 5th wheel trailer your payload is only 3-4t depending on how much the trailer weights. Certainly less appealing to me.
-
The first weight is the GVW and the 2nd is the GTW I assume so near enough 12t. The 3rd and 4th are probably the front and rear axle weights.

fuelwood splitta 400 fills bulk bag logs full in 4 mins
richy_B replied to Bustergasket's topic in Firewood forum
Agreed. I have a 13t petrol version and once you get a good rhythm going it is surprising how quick you can fill a cubic metre cage. I added a basic rsj beam with flat table to mine with a 280mm gap. Ours is nearly all arb waste, which we ring up at 26cm (mini digger with grab, forklift with tipping skip and a ms660). As long as you can get it all at good working height to avoid backache, it's a good system for two guys. If you are doing thousands of cubes then obviously better stuff out there but for a few hundred cubes it is good and only costs a couple of £k for the splitter. -
You're probably right. I'm might email them for some more details, be interesting to know the payload.
-
Great looking bit of kit - doesn't say on the website but it is likely that would be a 12t train weight so probably 7 odd ton payload after truck and trailer? Could be handy as you could get a 3t excavator and dumper on there or a midi excavator.
-
I'll get the popcorn.. This could be good!
-
Think of the diesel bill!
-
It is frustrating to feel like the police are not bothered about thefts but telling them there is a firearm involve when you know there isn't might be a risky plan.
-
Agreed. Tipping or drop bottom skips are really handy to have around the yard but way too pricey for logs. Even trying to put together sockets (I was calling them sleeves) is expensive. Box section steel in the right size was £16 a metre.
-
I'm sure that wasn't the only give away!
-
Let us know if it comes up for sale.
-
£4k plus VAT with the trailer.
-
To be fair I'm sure they do tarmacing as well...
-
Pricey but that looks like the it's does an awesome job.
