  1. How many you after at what size
  2. Welcome aboard. That's an interesting piece in your aviator!!
  3. Why not just buy one there worth the price IMO as there well made and do the job perfectly. If I was going to pick a hole in the design it would be to strengthen the trays that slide in the sides
  4. No that's in the yard Jon like I said got to take the ruff with the smooth here's what I payed for loads over the last month Ash 12 to 15 gunshot straight £55 in the yard Sycamore 80% ash 20% 12 to 6 £53 in the yard Sycamore firs thin £47 road side ( to expensive only worth 42 bloody small stuff) Beech50% oak 10 % sycamore 30% chestnut 10 with 20% oversize mixed in been down 15 months £52 in the yard. Beech due in tomorrow 14 inch down £52 bit expensive as it's green Cord will come down in price over the next 12 months
  5. Just payed £38 for some big ugly stuff been down ages but I take a lot of cord off the guy he needs it gone. If I'm honest I don't really want it need a bigger yard!
  6. Mortimer is right ( I always am:lol:) the prices is off a price list that another member emailed me. Why would HP copy a palax there machines have been changing from the straight lines into curves over the last 5 years.
  7. Crist always wondered why Fred didn't look like me:lol:
  8. Bowen is a form of massage that works the pressure points round the body I go once a month or if I can every other week. Good for the body and mind. Also helps with women that are having fertility problems pen and I struggled for 6 years to have Fred 3 sessions of Bowen and it was sorted. 14 couples who were told they would struggle to have children have been to see our Bowen guy 11 have conceived in months of treatment. Something about rebalancing the body!!!
  9. It's going to get a lot cheaper down that way as the big harvesting operators were supplying one firewood outfit. Now there not supplying them for various reasons I can't go into on a public forum. There 10s of thousands of tons roadside. Price will come down drivers foresters even the landowners saying that. If it was not for biomass cord would be the cheapest it's been for the last decade. Dam good firewood beech ash sycamore 12 inch down going for chip
  10. Good mowers just don't like damp grass on slopes have fun and resist the urge to do donuts in it
  11. Spot on hodge
  12. Ive got those exact pics on my phone from 18 months ago when i was offered the machine by a genuine seller.
  13. Thats bad news feel for the lad left to deal with it. All it takes is a momentary lapse of concentration
  14. Because it got a Deere on the can!! Me thinks
  15. JD do the same. Bloke come in to there dealership well I was waiting and paid £67 for 5 litres I nearly fell over
  16. ty i no you had trouble with your sh stumpy but if you buy that mower the first time you cut grass it's worth 6 k less. All though there good there not iseki good I've had one and a kubota which I had from new got an iseki with 13 hours on and sold the kubota the iseki has 1120 hours on now and had never let me down all it has had is service twice a year @£160 each. If you added an iseki to your fleet you would be set up to tackle anything
  17. You want a skag flail for that job wouldn't matter what they left
  18. Yes it's a wolf Yep they make wolf as well no where near the standard of the hydro 80
  19. It could not have had you bad as I only got had once now I look for it everywhere.
  20. All the money in the world would not get me to do that job FairPlay to you for sticking with it.
  21. Hog weed if it gets you on a really hot day it all turn really nasty identify and spray.
  22. Billhook I've been thinking about my time in pickers I've spent over a decade in them 6 days a week for 12 hours a day. Two incidents that really stick in my head are been on a job on my own on a sat putting rails in the gabble end of a building, the mewp I can't remember the make but a big machine got up around 80 ft and it cut out. Not a sole in site and a crap signal. I was to far from the building to climb and the mast was covered in grease. I sat there wondering for about an hour when these 3 lads came past drunk as lords. They eventually worked out how to lower me and I took um back to the boozer. The other time I was on a column and beam job I'd just squashed my finger between steel and a sledge but could not stop as it was the last day with a crane got the last been in at around 545 going off dark started to descend in the picker suddenly all the weight came off my machine I'd crossed the jib of my mates machine wedging him against a steel column. I got my basket next to his lashed them with a lanyard and lifted him back up the basket popped off the face of the column and sent us up in the air with such force it near threw me out of the basket. He was thrown against the controls column and hurt his ribs. 99.9 % of the time it's the operator that's at fault the other 0.1% can't be planned for your in the hands of the unknown. If you hire a machine in make sure it wasn't a steel erector that used it before because that's the industry where there abused causing week and warn parts. If I ever had a machine off another job I tested it to it limits very close to the ground.:lol: What ever you decide put a vid up of you practising your descent from the basket
  23. A litigation solicitors wet dream
