    prices.

    Could you give us pm hodge regarding your supplier? my guy is being a pain in backside this year and don't wish to continue using him. Seen your landy drive past tattoo shop as I was getting more work done today in Kendal haha small world.
  2. Depnds how big your logs are bud.Only tip I found was to make sure the corners are packed tight that way bag is opend up as big as possible I only deliver in nets or trailer loads now the bags proved too much hassle and had very little interest in them in my area.
  3. No problem bob.Hey only noticed your only up road from us,I'm in sunny barrow in furness.how's snow up your end? If anything goes in your splitter let me know my mates family own yarl hydraulics I'll see what price they can get you on parts
  4. Tried it this year using my small 4 ton splitter.Had a few enquiries which lead to a handful of jobs,found rich people with no time to do it were the main enquirers,failing that it was the older generation who wanted the log fire but couldn't split or stack there own wood. Had one young lad ring up,He explained how he had bough his log burner fancy new stihl maul and every other goody in site,took two hours before he gave in and realized how hard work it can be haha. He was very greatful for my services that day bless him Marketed to the correct audience in a large enough area and it should pay Amigo

    Crap day

    Aye padlocks frozen on my land.Finally got in and slipped on my blinking backside right down the lane haha.
  6. I know I will go against the grain with this one but general grabber used to be great. Last pair had on navarra were utter tripe.horrid noise on road very very poor mileage and I found in wet mud were atrocious. But tires are such a personal preference thing I think it's hardto advise.
  7. Yo mark get her done.they will offer better traction,however not only that you can run them lower pressure in the rough stuff. And as far as legality goes,so long as they ain't fouling the arches or scubbing,and there is no protrusion from arches the MOT won't matter diddly I passed few transits with BF's when I did MOT's only problem is the gearing on transits is absolute pap. But if you just want a more surefooted ride inthe roof stuff then yup I suggest hoss on with it bud
  8. check the hp and torque figures and they will say otherwise.My old l200 with standard lump was a joke now has turbo and intercooled shogun lump in it and it's ok.The new ones are horrid had more go in a metro. Disco's are nice not overly grunty tho.Horses for courses tho ain't it. Fourtraks as mentioned are cracking little motors.
  9. You want power and towing ability then get the navarra.the l200 is gutless Both navarra and l200 have horrid turning circles and are rubbish off road due to way to soft front ends with minimal ground clearance. Toyota hilux 4x4 with a set of heavier springs would be good choice failing that try find an old l200 like in my profile pic. If you could find one in your budget the rangers are a nice alternative.If your over 6ft3 then all of the choices above will be uncomfertable bud

    Stihl 034 issues

    So should I order a carb repair kit for it and whap that in and see if it fixes it or just send it to the dealer? Never done a carb on a chainsaw before

    Stihl 034 issues

    Fingers crossed raker haha.you can't exactly strip these things before buying to inspect them eah haha. Trust it to happen right in middle of big job. Thanks for all the help guys really appreciated. Tis a shame aswell as it seemed a really nice saw when working had a nice bit of poke for it's size

    Stihl 034 issues

    Regards to the air bleed valve would that cause the fuel to leak? As it's seeping fuel out when left on worktop over night,and when cap is opened on fuel tank there seems to be alot of pressure released would that also cause in to run dodgy like it is? Sorry for noob questions never ownd a stihl,and I'm beginng to see why
  15. How much wood hodge? And What lngth I may have a drop off early this coming week up near that end
  16. I still have loads.sadly Market in my area has become shockingly over saturated,Even the local greasy burger vendor has started selling logs.Who knows they may not be back next year. All I know is the idiots have tried out bidding one another with prices,and it has Driven the prices so low I cannot compete it has ruined my sales this year,ruined being understatement ib has slaughtered my sales! And left me a very cheesed off character

    Where abouts would this impulse hose be located bud? Also how would I know if it's knackerd? Would a visual inspection work for that or would I need to remove the pipe and inspect? I'm trying everything to avoid the dealership,as I don't fancy getting robbed by them

    Stihl 034 issues

    Bore and piston look lovely spark plug nice brown tarnish as all two strokes should be air filter got blasted out and everything cleaned now when case is off carb and air cleaner the retainer that pushes choke on dosnt seem to engage anything when start is flicked,so I defo know th choke isn't working.Warmed the plug up and fires first pull didn't want to start tweaking mixture screws incase I messed her up so all seems to point to carb problems,as all seals on carb to air filter are okey as is the fuel pickup and filter. Tickle throttle and ease revs on and it will scream like a real un but try givig her a fistful just bogs down and dies still

    Stihl 034 issues

    Cheers bud. I accidently ran it out of fuel once hope it hasn't scored the bore is that somthing I should possibly be thinking bout. Could the plug gap need tweaking? a few peope said to me could be diaphragm ? Ran great when first got it last week it is a second hand saw

    Stihl 034 issues

    Cheers woodland glad sombody replied haha.Air filter was caked in crap havnt had time to turn it over again tho as out the house would a clogged up airfilter give these symptoms? I guess on a vehicle it would do so possibly would on a 2stroke chainsaw
  24. Hey chaps.saw keeps spluttering and coughing and shutting off when laid flat cutting on it's side or basically any other way apart from flat. Any ideas?
