What is the best way to process arb arisings!
s.varty replied to benedmonds's topic in Firewood forum
I used to split my arb arising into billets ,stack them on pallets, leave covered foe approx. a year and then saw them into logs with the sawbench.To much handling imo. I now chuck it all into a pile, leave it for a year then ring it all up and split as I need it. -

I do like that:thumbup1: how much weight can it safely lift? -
Agree:thumbup1: had a customer in the summer that insisted on buying the materials, when they arrived the boards (450) were 6" to long, no rebates in the posts for the capping , he spent 2 days off work cutting the rebates and boards because I refused to. Funnily enough though he gave me a £50 tip? But as said if the customer buys the materials at least your not at fault if the posts rot etc.

Why not do a couple of hours work erecting, then you,ll know how long it will take you, then give a price. If its a big job you could catch a cold by guessing it as youv obviously never done this type of fencing before.
-
As you have a tractor, then yes, don't know which is best though.

Second hand stihl then re sell when finished with it?

Exactly:thumbup1: you cant get scammed if you pay on collection

cant be arsed this year.

Price will depend on what your going cut it with, could take a couple of hours or all day.

Couldn't agree more, trouble is you,d be surprised just how many people don't agree hence the popularity of supermarkets. As an example I was in my local pub a couple of years ago and I was talking to a few blokes about the butchers in the area and which one we thought was best, no joke , one bloke said "you cant beat fray bentos, they are quality" Says it all really.

I think he,s wrong

Tescos etc are here to stay , that's life , just support your local butcher/baker/farm shop as much as you can, as said supermarkets havnt killed the high street, people differing ways of life have.

Forgot a bout charity shops and poundlands and the odd betting shop

But steve the local high street now only has takeaways or hairdressers

I do some work for a farm that is owned by a very large chicken meat producer (5 million killed every week) These chicks are bought in cramped in massive sheds (as on hugh fernleys programme) and slaughtered at 6 weeks . These are the kind of chickens you would buy at 2 for a fiver. They make 28p profit per bird we get 2 chickens for a fiver, everyones happy, god only knows what we are putting in our bodies.
-
Lets face it most shoppers are women, not being sexist but they watch the adverts and believe that Tesco/sainsburys etc sell all the best quality meat etc. My wife shops at a Tesco , but she passes a brilliant farm shop selling local quality veg and fruit, and an excellent butchers but never uses one of them and now im going to punch her in the face:laugh1: joking apart a lot of people men or women seem to think that only supermarkets sell food?
-
Agree, but its not just Tesco killing the butchers/bakers/greengrocers etc its peoples different way of life as opposed to say the 60,s. They havnt time to go to 3 or 4 different shops,so its one big hit at the supermarket. Plus getting parked at any butchers etc is near impossible.

what do you use to protect your shins when using a brushcutter/strimm
s.varty replied to predator's topic in General chat
Full face clear Perspex mask with thin rubber riveted to the bottom of the mask to stop any stones/dog mess hitting your chest and rebounding into your face, I found was the best set up. -
Playing his playstation 8 whatever, as we speak.

Totally believe it, the pulling power of those old beasts is awesome, bearing in mind that they are bog standard and can out pull any of todays standard tractors.
