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 They also appear to stock the original General AT2 which i thought had been replaced by the less agressive tread version and I kow was very popular with a lot of people.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.

Anyone doing medium/large trees in the future

They are in Cumbria so should be plenty of b&bs around. Not sure if you to live in Cumbria to qualify for these prices - be best to contact them to find out. -
Remember seeing this in one of the mags a few years back: Land Rover Discovery 6x6 9 seat V8 auto | eBay

£325 in Cumbria for CS32/34 Cumbria Woodlands - Training -
Thats a beaut Difflock, would really want one of them if I win the lottery. They just look such a strong, usuable work truck. Tom Sheppard has exactly the same, uses it for overland travel having dropped Land Rover after many years. Oh, just seen all the other pics;I see why they call you Difflock now! 3 G Wagens is being a bit greedy isn't it? I've been a fan of the G Wagen since the early 1980s but always had Land Rovers up until June 2011 when I bought a Ford Ranger.

If I had a few extra quid.....

17 acres for £30k seems cheap these days. Usually £3 - £5k per acre -
Lets see pictures of said Steyr Daimler Puch van then Difflock!!

I would say your spot on. Timber I am processing is two years old, mixed ash, beech, oak and moisture content about 25%. Pick up load is just over a cube and on the weighbridge it comes in about 440 - 460kgs.

My wife and I are planning to return to Vancouver Island next year. I have relatives in Nanaimo and we last visited in 1999. As well as visiting places on the island such as Victoria, Port Alberni and Tofino we spent a few days in Vancouver - can recommend visits to Grouse Mountain and Capalongo Suspension bridge - and a week near Kelowna on the mainland. What I would say is avoid June - they were calling it Junuary when we were there because it was cold and rained most days and it was the first year the Calgary stampede had to be cancelled - in early July - because of snow!! We are hoping to go in July next year. No matter where you go I can guarantee you will love Canada.

Watched it last night and thought it was the best Bond film in a long time, although by the time I had sat through twenty minutes of Skyfall/Bond themed adverts at the start, I had seen most of the high lights!!

That's cool,like that a lot!!

I have a Stihl MS260 purchased off ebay two years and I love it. Very easy to start and its a good worker.
-
Looks good, when's the grand opening? Does the first person through the door called Derek get a free Stilh MS362????

Thanks for the replies guys, I will look into getting a pipe on the exhaust tout suite! Someone told me diesel fumes produced carbon monoxide but someone else has said they don't, only petrol fumes do. So TimberCutter, could you clarify please?

I use a Palax KS35 powered by a Ford 4610 tractor. I am really lucky in that my friend lets me process inside his huge nice dry shed and the tractor is his dads. Two queries though: 1) I've certainly been a lot more aware of the exhaust fumes recently from the tractor. You cannot see them but after a couple of hours I can certainly smell them. I tend to wear a dust mask when processing but find it difficult to keep over my nose as it then steams my glasses up! I was thinking of putting a flexible pipe on the exhaust and running it through the gap in the panels. Anybody do anything differently if processing indoors? 2) As I said, the tractor is my friends dads and he doesnt use it a lot and doesnt mind me using it but I have been toying with buying my own. However, someone else suggested a Lister engine with a hydraulic pump on it to connect to the processor hydraulics. Has anybody tried this in the past with any success? Any thoughts or ideas gratefully received.

At a recent eco show I was displaying at, everybody we talked to asked where the logs came from and were pleased when we could name the local estates we had bought timber in from. I recently picked up a new customer who refused to buy logs from his local garden centre as they were from Russia so I think a lot of the buying public do mind where there wood comes from.

I bought one of these from Machine Mart for stripping the boards off the pallets but it only works if the base rails are less than a few inches wide. http://www.screwfix.com/p/roughneck-demolition-lifting-bar-5-x-38/42395?cm_mmc=Google-_-Product%20Listing%20Ads-_-Sales%20Tracking-_-sales%20tracking%20url&gclid=CJShlPXLlLMCFSTKtAodDVcAwA
