9000 - 10000 most days but did over 18000 on Sunday as my sister had the bright idea that we should visit all the sites on the London Monopoly board ! Took us 9hrs with lunch breaks, 9miles walking as well as public transport.

Thanks to you all for the good advice

Thanks for the advice so far guys. Who would you recommend to contact ref getting a fair price ?

Hi Guys I'm looking for some advice please.I have a small woodland in South Bucks with a stand of some 30 large Oaks (2000 hoppus feet ) & 20 large Beech (1300 hf ) The stems are approx 30-45 feet clean & 20-30 inch dia at shoulder height.I have permission to extract these.What I'm looking for is some advice as to the best way to market these (standing or roadside) and some idea as to their value,thanks Stigwood

If you would like to PM me I have a DB1390 complete with hydraulic loader that I might part with for similar money

Hello could be interested,I have a suitable site HP16 about 10/12 miles from Watford can you deliver or do I need to arrange transport and what species trees are they ? Thanks Tom Rose @ Rosewood Farm

A little 8 hour walk along The Ridgeway Saturday followed by another 8hr walk today 40miles in 2days including 5000ft climbs and decents.Will be climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in 10 days having never climbed anything higher than a big Popular many moons ago ! Didn't even know I was going to do this 4 weeks ago but hey ho your only here once.If any of the guys would like to throw a few shillings to a good cause the link is Trevor Mills is fundraising for Starlight Children's Foundation thanks Tom

Isuzu,last one finally died with over 300,000 on the clock at least150,000 towing a trailer of some sort.Stay clear of the 3.0d unless it has had all the work done by Isuzu the3.1d is the best in my oppinion but they stopped that model in 1998 but you can stil find some well looked after ones for £1500 or less.I`ve had one since they first came into the country in1988 & am now on my 3rd SWB which I use for work & 4th LWB of personel use (1 got stolen ! ) Once drove back from Northern Italy to the UK in 23hrs towing a 7m trailer

At the start of the season was glad to see that a lot of my customers had taken the advice to order early to avoid dissappointment.Like most of the others on here Dec was manic I had to stop taking orders for Christmas a few days before still got the usual numpties phoning up christmas eve for delivery the next day,they seemed somewhat crest fallen with the answer of " A LACK OF PLANNING ON YOUR PART DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN EMERGANCY ON MINE ! merry xmas ":001_smile: The first few days of jan have been quite but it has been mild & people are getting their credit card bills arriving things getting back to normal now & we still have all of Feb & Mar to get thru yet

less than 100m3 left under cover already have 200m3 cut stored out side geting ready for next winter but looking for someone local with a processor to HP16 to hire out either with or without an operator

What amazes me is how many get away with not deducting the volume of their wheel arches from the "load", (or even that spare wheel chucked in underneath !)

Or a large custom made tool box that is just 1 log lower than the sides but takes up a 1/4 of the load area on a 3m transit tipper :thumbdown:

YES THEY WILL BE BACK ! had our secure work shop broken into & took all the hand tools they could carry and sell cheap down the pub then came back within the month to take the mini digger & tool vaults which they couldn`t take on the 1st visit.Worst loss of all was my 1st tool box & tools which my late dad had got me when I started little value to them huge loss to me.The site now has cameras & remote alarm that comes straight to my phone all the local low lifes know how I will deal with anybody in the future,the police are a waste of time

I love this Weather!

 

There are so many positive aspects to it.If you can't/don't want to work in it then fair enough.Snow is expected here and you just have to prepare and drive accordingly.I tow a 2ton Trailer around the Hills Daily and in 4X4 with a pair of Chains in the back just in case its really no problem,just take it abit slower and use your Brain.I have yet to fail to reach a job,even it it means towing the Trailer loaded with gear in with the Tracked Chipper.

 

There is always a way.

Couldn`t agree more, what`s the problem.Got my BF m/ts fitted Fri just as the first of the snow hit the Chilterns spent Sat AM delivering logs with the 3t ivor williams & Sat PM pulling numpties up the local hill trying to keep the road open.Sun had to down grade to the 1t trailer as the council hasn`t got round to gritting our lane if last years performance is anything to go by should get done about April :001_rolleyes:But the snow & cold is great for buisness have sold nearly 200m3 already which is nearly as much as I did the whole of last winter :thumbup:still have another 100m3 in the barn keeping warm & dry happy days, merry christmas every one

Used to run my LT35 tipper on a remold mud & snow tyre don`t remember the make but it transformed the truck in the woods never got stuck with them on unless I did something REALLY stewpid

might be a bit far away but if your interested I may have something suitable at HP16 about 15miles from Kings Langley PM me if you are interested

happy to take as much you like unfortunately I`m based HP16.Access is very good 5 miles J4 M40 PM me if of any interest to you regards Stigwood

Isuzu trooper just keep going what ever I throw at it or put on the tow bar got 3 of them at the moment could sell you 1 within your budget PM me lf your interested

Thanks for the input guys,even yours Mr Armchair .I`ve run the BFG A/T before & found them to be a very good tyre which lasted well but was looking with something with a bit more grip for this winter I have a spare set of steel rims & intented to keep them just for the winter weather so not over concerned about a bit more noise.They will be fitted to all 4 corners & I`m not looking to increase the size ( the wife says size doesn`t matter )From the feed back so far the BFG M/T seems to be edgeing it anybody know the best supplier I`m based in South Bucks HP16, ta

Hi guys thinking ahead to the coming winter I`m thinking of having a set of winter tyres to put on my Isuzu Trooper quite like the look of BF Goodwich mud terains,what do you recomend.Thanks in advance

Hakki Pilki are bringing a new product to the market 2xs appears to be a 1x37 on a two wheel trailer might be what your looking for

quick tip,when you cut the bolt do so with the nut on the bolt then when you take the nut off it cleans the thread ready to go back on ;-)

Or you could ring up the over size timber & split them with a simple hydraulic splitter until they are the size you want,not much capital outlay(£500?) for the splitter minimal extra labour cost maximum return on your timber.

I am looking for deliveries of cordwood for my firewood buisness based near High Wycombe small or large loads or any leads to reliable suppliers gratefully received PM me or contact me direct on 07788411021 TIA
