  1. Or since most on here are selling, and will price their product to reflect their entirely reasonable need to make a profit (i.e. the same profit across their product range) The customer will be the one to carry the £10.00 surcharge. Therefore the savvy customer will prefer hardwood. Cos it is better heating value per unit cost. Simples.
  2. Since I switched to exclusively Fir/Pine/Conifer about 8 years ago. (Once I had cleared the Birch off the Roddens to gain access) Absolutly no issues, OK a bit more volume to transport to the stove, but it burns hot and clean. The resin on the hands is bytimes a trifle annoying. and Definately no issues with the flue "tarring" marcus
  3. not sure about that as, at least from any promo material i have seen for either logs of firewood equipment. It is Birch birch birch birch birch an more birch
  4. It could be an advert in "Classic Tractor" magazine would be worth a punt, with a sensible/highish price but inviting offers. Then enter it in Cheffins classic auction if unsuccessful. A lot of Irish Classic Tractor readers and we tend to pay silly prices for the old Masseys. marcus
  5. BUT I am not for towing on the Highway. Gerrr!
  6. Bollocks! The 30" :thumbup:bandwheels were my main reason for being attracted to the LM15 Seriously:thumbdown: PS On a more serious note, I know of 2 local NI engineering companies who each employ a degree educated Engineer, on "container stuffing" (i) In respect of the optimium way of packing multiples of the same item. (ii) The best mix of mixed items for each container and (iii) Subtle but significent engineering design and construction "tweeks" so as to facilitate optimium container utilization. Simply because for any sizable Nothern Ireland based company it is a case of "export or die" cheers marcus
  7. £1.000=$1.634 Is that not quite an attrative exchange rate? m i.e. Get em ordered. PS Can one not get the LM15 without the wheels?, or does the axle unbolt for shipping?
  8. Buy once, buy right, buy Morso. Or indeed Clearview, or other correctly engineered and constructed brand.
  9. Whats the difference between a Farmer and a terrorist? One can neogotiate with a terrorist.
  10. Nobody is an unusual name, do you employ him?
  11. :lol:Alder for gunpowder. Birch I suspect should also be excellent due to the high sugar sap. other than that i dunno:lol:
  12. No luck yet, might need to chase up. Awaiting delivery (tomorrow, hopefully) of my Rotabroach Panther, which will allow me to drill holes up to 40mm dia., so was in no rush. And yes I were sniffing around Wilsons auctions stuff. But I am not good at buying at auction. trust me!
  13. I put feelers out a coupla a months ago to 2 local dealers for a fresh high tip dumper for this very reason. Except I intend to connect a small ex agricultural 3 point linkage mounted forklift up-front. Dammn!! Should patented that idea.
  14. Biochar=charcoal+greenwash=£/$/Euros
  15. I was aware my post could have come across as a trifle "snarky" or baiting. Thank you for understanding. However, whilst lying and thinking ove the root cause of my irritation, I reckon it is due to the march of progress and new houses everywhere forcing change on others. Especially the adjoining landowners, who are then oblidged to bear extra costs at the whim (sometimes/mostly) of newbie blowins. Perhaps the developers of new estates marching virgin woodland or farmland should instead be oblidged to fund permiter fencing (re "dangerous" livestock) or tree surveys, and associated maint works, and in perpuitity. Then they can load this extra cost onto these desirable new homes in the form of a legal condition on their ongoing ownership. This might curtail the demand for such currently desirable homes. regards, marcus
  16. davy b, if you are now so concerned as to the safety of your house in respect of these trees, why did you buy or rent it? I regularly get a bellyful of "H & S" related nonsense re Council trees overshadowing "their" house. Generrally due to obstructed visibility or falling leaves, or twigs blowing into their garden in a storm. But then for heavens sake, why did they buy the house in a row backing onto the already maturely wooded parkland. Regards, Marcus
  17. Austrian scythe. simples.
  18. Sorry! But a steel sculpture, to timber workers. Scheesh! Someone needs their arse kicked.
  19. Hmmm? You get the "hots" for men in dark green Berets Worrying that.
  20. Just remember to remove the "Dominos" reference in Para 4.
  21. I say that Man, well spotted! Tee Hee
  22. I was sitting in a hungover daze one morning in the Polytech cafeteria, munching on a bacon bap, when Tom gave me a nudge with his elbow. Fair in front of my eyes, not more than 5 feet away, standing in the queue was a very attractive pair of boots, followed by legs in tight jeans, followed by a crisp white blouse stretched over a rather attractive pair of breasts, all of which I hungarily devoured with my eyes, except when I finally reached the length of the face I instantly recognized it, and visa-versa. Oops.
  23. Heh-Heh-Heh, "J" All points duly noted cheers
