Hi my dad has one on a 04 plate he has had it 9 yrs now and it has cost him nothing to keep it on the road only tyres, brakes and recently he has put its first replacement exhaust on it, its been 100% reliable and lives outside all the time and body work is mint, its a 1.8 petrol and last time i drove it it was returning 37 mpg, if he was to sell it i would,nt think twice about it but i know he wont be selling it as it has been so good for him, i think its got about 80k on the clock so not mega miles on it.

your not wrong there Khriss on a job at the moment with some big beech in it and there is one or big lumps in there, 1 cubed up to 12 cube and will hit the deck with one hell of a crash, and i love it,

In old money cs32 was and still is medium trees the old cs33 was large trees over 750mm and this still does exsist as felling of large tree and crown break down,i agree with you Kriss a tree of 380mm is not that big really, but to some it will be massive, its not that long since some one rang me and said i have a very big pine tree in my garden thats swaying about in the wind and all the earth is moving round the base can you come and take it down, got there looked at it and customer said you wont do it in a day as some one else had said day and a half, it was under 12" and about 20-25ft tall, 2 hrs done and 2 brews as well. photo below is a big tree saw is 461 25" bar stump 52" across,

how do you get 0.9 of a cube out of a 850x850x850 bag which = 0,614125 of a cube if they are selling and advertising them as a cube, thats not right and breeching some trading standards some where, if i was in your shoes i would mention that and if they dont want to play ball just ask them to come and collect there logs, give em 5 working days then tell them you will be charging a storage rate,

if we get another bout of the plague, you will be quids in,????

i will buy that one, classsic yes, a ford 6610,7610,7840 tw 15 tw 20 tw25 or if cash was no object i would go for the full monty county 1164 1174 or any county would do me but my dream would be a super major roadless,,,

Just a point if your not up on the type of machine your looking for, get some one who knows about them even if you have to pay them it could pay dividends for you, there is a lot of machines out there that have been neglected early on in there life and that all reflects later in the machines life, i would say your better off upping your budget and getting something newer, lad down the road from me bought a MF 4wd about 3 years ago but has spent more on repairs than what he gave for it,

Hi if you do buy a trail cam get one with black LEDs as if they are acctivated in the dark they don,t show up, and you get to keep your camera along with the footage it has captured,

Yes but he has had it 11 years now and only been serviced regularly and he has just put his 2nd set of tyres on it so not that bad really but to be moaning about an exhaust as the original one should of lasted longer,

sorry but i would say that part of the deal is between me and the land owner,

we have been getting £58 tonne for spruce sawlogs R/S 450mm >200mm and with Js timber being DF he should be on a bit more than £58 tonne , chip/pulp wood is £45 tonne R/S, cant say anymore,

looks nice timber that J , where on that beech at the moment and some timber in there i dont think we will lift in 2.5s and i can just see it getting disced up for firewood, a shame ,

Hi i remember it well, some good points there you raised, i remember having a bath by candle light on a regular basis, my Dad being put on 4 day wk then 3, then 2 and then being laid off for 6 wk as there was restrictions put on the amount of power a company could use, i remember we burnt most of our daily bin rubbish as there was no bin collections for wks, back then my dad had a very good firwood round we had a deal with a sawmill that we took his slab wood that was all cut on site with a fergi bench on the back of a David Brown 25D we had a shed at this sawmill and storage space, we where selling logs in the old 50kg yellow or blue ICI fretilizer bags 5 bags for a £1 and as coal was in very short supply to the public for heating we where selling logs nearly every day as he was not at work, but this didn,t last long as there was no power for the mill, so the miners strike had a massive knock on effect and if she had not done what she did the miners would of basically shut the UK down, i could,nt even play the records i had bought, and at this time i was listening to the likes of The Clash, Pistols, Sham 69, Gen X, Blondie, Members etc and i still do they where good times, but there was some shite chucked in to the mix as well, watch something on TV a few week ago about the late 70s and there was some footage i had not seen before which brings me to the point of the riots and looting that all so took place around this time, and the footage was of John Craven (with dark hair but same style as today ) reporting for his own news round with what i would of said was a flack or bullet proof vest on with bricks and bottles being thrown behind him not good but the country had been driven to this point by its own people, the life we have today i think stems back to the Thatcher era as there is some things she put in place that are going to benifit some of us now in our 50s, i was looking in to my pensions not long ago and basically when i make my mind up of when i am going to take 1 out i wont know what to do with it ? sat having a brew with my dad in the summer (about 3 wk ago at end of feb) having a chat and he said to me that he has never touched his state pension yet, but then moaning about having to fork out to put a exhaust on his car,,

hi noticed some out round here about 10 days ago, its a good point you made and sumit i will take notice of was in a woodland on sat morn and some sycamore buds just starting to open up in to leaf, hawthorn in sheltered areas are in leaf now,

any one else for this tree ? its for sale,

Just to put it bluntly to bloody many,,,, ms 181 fart box ( for sale ) ms241 ms260 x 2 one with a de-barking attatchment ms 261 ms 341 ms 460 ms 461 X 2 ms 660 08s 038 054 and a shity ryobi i had given by a elderly log customer

dont even make good firewood,,,,, timbers i try to keep clear of are Lime, willow, popular and Horse chestnut all very time consuming and boring,

hi where abouts in cumbria you based ?

Good point there, as there is 180 trees in this stand and approx 50% are beech with some trees being around 5ft dbh so not Micky mouse trees at all, this is the only one in this stand but there is another one with some rippling but its high up the trunk and no where near as pronounced as the ripple in this one,

you beat me to it as i have been asked the same question now several times and i cant answer it, so may be someone can ?? i think its some sort of stress related issue ? but proberbly wrong,

You know what you can do with yourself,,,,, i dont mind one or two small wrinkles but there,s just a few to many for me there and they would take some face paint to level out,

Hi we have a hardwood clear fell to start on Monday and while i was there this week i noticed this tree in the middle of the stand so will NOT be full of nails and washing lines, it looks a interesting piece of timber and rough diameter i would say 500-550 it may be bigger but will get a better spec when this monsoon has eased off, it must be worth something to some one for milling, if interested please PM me,tree is still stood and could be left for a few week yet the said tree is located near J3 M65,

Hi i dont know if any one on here is interested of knows of anyone who would be interested in these items, there is a unpha wood shredder, a magnetic belt for metal removal, storage hopper,pelleting machine, elevator, cleaning trummell, dust extractors controll panels ,etc they where removed from a workshop under a bankruptcy / court order and are now released for sale, they are not old and have not done a lot of work purchased in 2016/17 and not used in last 14 months so done very little, we are open to offers on these items as all we are doing is trying to recoup some of the lost rent on the building,many thanks for looking and if interested please pm me thanks again,

Maggie had the balls to stand up and speak her mind on several issues 1) the miners it was,nt maggie that closed the mines it was the miners and there great leader scargill, no coal to run power stations, electric going off at 8pm after corrie, if the mines had been working she would of not had to inport coal from germany and find out that it was cheeper than mining our own, since privatisation of power co,s we have not had power cuts like we did in the 70s, british leyland shut but never at work all ways on strike, when i first took a mortgauge out interest was 18% it then started to fall, she encouraged people to save isa,s pep,s and take private pensions out and we did, my dad was not a fan of her but now he is retired he has a different view as he took a isa and a pension on and now says if was,nt for her both him and my mum would of had next to fuck all, 2 decent cars on the drive a garage full of classic bikes and money in the bank, and i for one followed suit with isa,s pensions etc and at some point i will take a isa or may be draw a pension but i wont know what to do with it, the only gripe i have is the poll tax as our rates at the time went from £145 per ann to about £1300 that really pissed me off but we get used to it, and last issue the falklands she had that sorted out in little time abd this gained her massive respect world wide, if any of you guys have not seen the film The iron lady watch it it is a education,
