  1. Hello. Another person here , can get a truck n grab and take the lot. Local aswell
  2. Evening. Off to look at a winter project 65t arb truck What's the mpg like? This is a low mileage 150bhp. Tbh my 75bhp tranny drinks loads as foot is flat to the floor up hills overloaded with chipper quite often so must upgrade this winter.
  3. you may want to change the light cycle to 18/6 . standard veg , well , so ive heard
  4. i take it you got a restricted o liecence chris ??? how far from 'base' can you go then as im still toying with the 6.5t iveco . as from treebase / sunnisde i been as far as berwick , haydon bridge , darlo also you get a 12week inspection due to milage , as was told if your not doing intergalactic miles then it can be less offten. im possibly doing some railway work next year if it comes off and it involves driving along way mon back fri .. however il only bring timber home for my own use ( well , sneak it into the back with permission , there will be much much much more staked up) cheers
  5. evening , i just finalised the purchase of my yard. the guy that owned it across the road says he has about 2 ,4achers of land thats used to be used for horses but he hates them and doesnt have them anymore (hurray , nethier do it) anyways , we are thinking of going into growing some trees after i told him i was was going to do a little shrub n tree growing at my yard. we have all machinery (almost), and land so theres a good start. i know a bit about planting but just a few quick questions to get the ball rolling till i have a proper site vist. we are thiniking of doing some leylandi planting on a large scale to sell on as 4ft,6ft, hedging , so , any suppliers of say bareroot trees? as i think treeplease near mine dont do them bareroot. also years to take to say get from 40cm upto above hieghts. also , i may think of putting in a large section of ash,syc,birch (more suggestions please) for firewood as im thinking of purchasing the field next to my yard for a large barn/firewood/future home project . the quick question here is say whats the average timescale from say a 60cm tree upto a size good enough for harvesting / coppicing timber. i may sound a little unknowledgeable but ive got a go set of brains to do it , just at 1am my typing skills are poor. the owner has money and i have the skills and the land opposite so nothing ventured nothing gained thanks in advance also , whats the 'tax; situation at the end of it all , i heard firewood sold in lenghts isnt taxable until its into firewood/split , or is this pure poppycock pub talk
  6. slightly off topic ,,, so i could buy a 5.2t iveco and upgrade the plate to a 6.5t or not ???
  7. hello dude , you text me today --- right , its easyier to type than to text as long as i keep my blades sharp , is it just hardwood chip you want , or can it be usual domestic conifer , shrubs stuff etc , as this stuff goes on the burn pile down the local farm cheers - also im not doing much in durham at the mo , mainly north of tyne , but il keep you in mind. i keep all logs as got a yard
