I gave the details to a customer of mine who is a policeman. He contacted them and came back and said not to have anything to do with them. Scam scam scam.

I suppose thats one way to improve a Land Rovers ride quality:thumbup:

I live in Newcastle and Kielder is an hour or so away from me...I think you'll find Cheshire is about 4 hours or so away!!!!

Guess what building burned down in Berwick on Monday morning????????????? That's right........the fire station!!!! BBC News - Firefighters battle blaze at North Berwick fire station

I would just like to say a big thank you to Darren of DM Taylor Firewood for a fantastic days shooting on Saturday - beautiful countryside, great company, good birds and fantastic hospitality. Well done mate, you've made a cracking job of the shoot and know how to run a very enjoyable day. (Does that get me a discount on my next day?)

Great pics - the first one makes them look like an Australian road train!! Like the M reg the best:thumbup:

Anybody know of any reliable methods for securing such a trailer, either hitch locks for an eye coupling or tagging,etc?

Nice looking Land Rovers, looks like there's another in the back ground. Any more pics??

I deliver 50cm long logs to a customer who has just installed an ETA log boiler through a company I have connections with. He did look at cheaper alternatives but in the end went for the ETA and to say he is over the moon with it would be an understatement. Worth having a look at them.

My friend keeps suggesting a Lister engine for my processor with a pump on. As I don't know anyone who has done this I keep thinking there must be a reason why!!

Thank you for all the comments. Yes, we liked the plates on the front bolsters too and the fact that when not extended, the chassis is "double " strength. No pics of it working yet as we have been too busy!!! Going to get it hooked up to the Ford TW20 this week for a bit play around. As Darren said,the last picture of it in the shed was at the dealers although we have some nice shiny things as well! And some not so shiny! I must express my gratitude to Northwoods for their assistance when I applied for the grant under the Farming and Forestry Improvement Scheme (I feel as though I've got some of the tax back that I paid over 23 years as an employee) The trailer had only been in the yard an hour when a local woodsman pulled in and asked if he could borrow it or would we do a job for him!!

If I can assist in any way Steve please let me know

Cheers Darren. I'll take more care of it than you took of my pheasant!!

Apparently they were know as Logbus in the UK for a lot of years before the importers reverted back to the manufacturers name of Vreten.

Ta da!! Our new forwarding trailer and crane arrived today. Its a Vreten 10 ton extending trailer with a 6.5m reach crane. I now just need to learn how to drive a tractor and reverse a trailer!!

So who would come and cut my trees free for 18 months? And be available to do it all day every day?? Thought so. Banks are a retail business just like everyone else and therefore charge for their services. Having worked in one for 23 years up until 2009 I know all the arguments from both sides. Those of you using your personal account run the risk of having your account closed due to breeching the terms and conditions you originally signed up to. If you ever want business finance you may well struggle if you only use your personal account. As some of the more level headed people have stated, go in to your bank and ask what the charges are and if they can help you reduce them. If you are not happy then take action and change banks, there's plenty out there but think about what you want from a bank - readily available branches (I can count about 15 branches of my bank I could use in a 30 mile radius of home); a business manager you can talk to on their direct line or arrange a face to face meeting with; on line facilities; cash points available; only pay in when you have enough to make it worthwhile ie. don't bank ten individual cheques, save them up and bank them once a week or fortnight if you can afford to do so. If the government get there way and force the banks to separate their investment arms from their retail sectors, I can see charges for personal customers coming in as the retail sectors profits lag way behind the investment arms.

Seems this could be going around the north east now. Just had a call this lunch time from a guy from county durham police saying my business had been recommeded to them by the council and would I be interested in advertising in the police community overdrive magazine going out to 65,000 home in DH post code. He did not seem very professional and gave me his mobile number when I said I would think about it.

navara tipper | eBay something like this??

Fancy going up in the world and doing some heli logging??

The previous owner reckoned weight of the machine to be around 6 to 7 tons Mark. Given how deep it is sunk I reckon you would need a 20 ton winch to pull that out or some serious work with an excavator. Or a Chinook!!

That's a fair price if it includes delivery and VAT.

A lad of known for years complained four year seasoned oak I supplied was "ringing wet" when it was reading sub 30% on moisture metre and my friends sister who I supply for free has come up with too dry, too small, too large and the latest - "one of your logs wouldn't burn at all last night". it was all I could do to sneer and say "Yes, its a new range - everlasting logs!"

Came across this company at a business exhibition last week. Tyres - Cheap Tyres + Free Fitting at Home or Work UK Wide - etyres - prices are for tyres fitted at your home or place of work and seem very reasonable. They also appear to stock the original General AT2 which i thought had been replaced by the less agressive tread version and I kow was very popular with a lot of people. Search Results

Yeah, all the buttons are now white boxes with what looks like a page in it of a green hill with a cloud! If you can see it you'll know what I mean!!

I'm sorry, I immediately thought the same as Johnny - if your looking for work, bray the guys door down, don't ask him to ring you.
