I kept anticipating some sort of LR link in there?

Way Hey! Wor Peach is well into leaf again, well at least at each end of each branch! About 20mm of green leaf showing. Fingers crossed.

tsk, tsk, That was clearly inferred in my laconic comment. And "n" is nowhere near "r" on my keyboard.

That, dear boy, is pure simple statistics, a big/biggest saw cutting more timber faster, has to find nails sooner, especially in the more likely to be metal laden mature trees it will be cutting. See! There is always a "why" mth

Ah Ha! He said, just now realizing why 50 year ago, his grandmother could grow phenomenal blackcurrants, just where the lagoon for the chicken litter leaked a little copiously!

Will you get a Postcode with that . . .

Nope, twill be me, useless as I am with computer technology.

bugger . . . wait out . . .

That's the sister vehicle to the Peugeot Burper/Rifter, is it not? which vehicle is a proper commodious little corker. P.S. I realize time is against you J, but there is apparently a 4*4 version in the planned production pipeline, from what I recall.

No "k" 'K, tis "coked", only wine gets both "corked" and "de-corked"

Hmmm, since a professionally built 3500kg flatbed/tipper trailer will weigh 900-1000kg empty, I kinda imagine for a 5500kg gross trailer the chassis, running gear and superstructure could be nearer 2000kg for the presumably longish chassis required, and superstructure stiff/strong enough to restrain logs(pure gut feeling, nowt more) I am also unaware if you are intending to run under an Agric exemption, or if that even applies for 56mph speeds. but I would however have imagined air was mandatory for 56mph. So cant really help, mth

I shall require to consult my IT person, i.e. Lydia re this matter.

But she already is, well fucked . . .

"G" Wagen surely? On a 461 chassis, if LHD was acceptable. Or I know where there is a lovely LWB "G" pickup, loving built from a Wolf chassis with all new MB parts, so effectively brand new. Not sure if it would/could be registered a Commercial though. MTH

Make that 59, incl the 3 of ours. I hope Lydia got some good photos. Unfortunately the cameraman from Leinster 4*4 had to dive for cover during her outstanding(and genuinely so) off-roading at Anagh Gap. In the wee red "G"(trailered there and back, about 450 miles return) Her ould Dad was so tickled. Marcus

Sniff! Well after 2 protracted weeks with my mechanic, I finally got her back after 17:00 Friday past. The mechanic was saying how good the brakes were, and the brake pipes were lovingly greased. Booked in for a Sat am MOT test, and all 100% except for the Service Brakes to the rear axle, a 73% differential across the axle. After calming down, I stripped the rear brakes on Sunday, the brake cylinders were a bing of obviously unlooked at shit and rust. So I fettled them myself, and got her booked in for a Monday re-test. And . . . Got 2% mismatch (and one is allowed up to 30% btw), so near enough as "perfect" as is humanly possible. I did not pay the mechanic on Friday, and it could be some time before I pay any well-adjusted bill. Marcus

Hmmm? Are there any other differences between Conifer and Birch, since in the Scandanavian context I presume hardwood means Birch and not Oak or other hardwoods. Like the acidity of the flue gases, or the temperature produced, i.e. could they simply be seeking to prevent damage to the stove body or lining materials, by recommending hardwood over softwood? Or perhaps Scandanavian chimmney construction is different to UK specs? But if so I would have imagined they would be more specific in their wood specification, since I have seen on here that burning undiluted Oak is bad practise due to the acids produced (if I am remembering correctly) I always like to know the "why"? I would certainly much prefer felling, handling, splitting and burning Birch, if it was available in sufficient quantities. The Conifer could then blow down and rot insitu. And the smell from the Birch bark burning is a pure bonus. Marcus EDITED Erm I went back and read the first post, and it was quite detailed about other hardwoods, so I am still perplexed.

YAWN! Since the winter of 1997 we have been burning a mix of Birch to start and pure conifer this past 15 years, into a clay liner flue surrounded by vermiculite, slumbered overnight when on the Birch, but re-lit each morning on the Conifer AND the flue has NEVER been cleaned and still pulls like a train. Nuff said!
