  1. Anyone got any beech, ash or sycamore or other quality hardwood available now or soon? Thanks Call Beau on 01822 852933
  2. So you reckon the Tomtom is still a good bit of kit TCD?
  3. Think an iphone is not exactly a cheap option. Phone signal in rural Devon is reguly nill so a sat driven option would be better IMO.
  4. Just need a simple GPS for the truck. The cry I used to hear was just buy a Tomtom but there are so many models these days I don't know where to start. Don't need anything fancy just a basic pic of where I am and where I am trying to get to. Thanks
  5. Too late on this one I am afraid. Taken it to Mark Woodhouse to get it sorted. Just chickened out of getting in there.
  6. I got Precariat "This is the poorest and most deprived class group. According to the Great British Class Survey results, lots of people in this group: " Don't feel poor or deprived
  7. Not sure thats true. Didn't the tories under John Major hang onto some of our gold reserves during the early nineties recession? It was Blair and Brown who sold the lot.
  8. Looks bias to me Came out UKIP which is never going to happen with tories last even though they may get my vote. It's sad but I am going to be voting for the party I dislike the least.
  9. Thanks for posting that. I was left with Lib Dems, Greens and some logo with a tree which I have no idea what party it was. Edit. Quick google search shows that the tree is the conservatives. Shows how closely I have been following politics
  10. Hose is pretty firmly stuck on the carb. Think it will snap before coming off. Just going to pay up and take it to pro to get it sorted.
  11. From what you say spud it's definitely the 50cc version. Edit. Yep definitely a great machine if I can get it back to full strength. Will try wisecobandit's sugestion as it will be closest I have been to having a drink for ages.
  12. Was sold to me as the more gutsy version 50cc I think with the silver brake cover. Any idea of the cost of a refurb as it sounds a bit beyond me fixing it?
  13. No it does have the decomp valve. Never replaced anything at the drive end other than the fuel filter and spark plug.
  14. Hard to see the fuel line. Does it need full removal for inspection? Had a quick look on youtube at a guy changing a fuel line and he used some quite specialist looking pliers. Is there another way to check it over?
  15. Thats what the is for.
  16. Red oak. Is there a prize To be honest the picture of a split log does looks perfect for red oak but I no stuff all about bark and buds.
  17. The little plate by the handle says 2002 so guess I have had it a while. I am presuming to check the line and boots is going to need some stripping apart? Bare with me as I am not exactly experienced with this sort of issues down to me being a part timer and the saw being so blimmin good, well until now.
  18. Still a few regulars topping up but that's about it. Clearly other dealers are quiet because processing for them has really kicked off in the last couple of weeks
  19. It's been perfect from new but has suddenly developed a problem. Worked perfectly on Tuesday but now difficult to start in that it will get ticking over but if you touch the throttle it stalls. Having restarted it multiple times it warms up a bit and get up to half throttle but if any more stalls or goes back to tickover. It's still got a bit of the fuel from Tuesday in it so don't think his is the issue. Meticulously cleaned the air filter and have popped a new fuel filter on but no joy. What next? Thanks
  20. It would but my truck multi tasks and has a top box one day and greedy boards the next. A dirty great crane bolted to it would scupper this. Appreciate the ideas though. There could be simple solution out there just not found it yet.
  21. Yes I could but this may make unloading more tricky. Was going to try sliding the bag to the back of the truck and tip out. Don't think this would work with a pallet underneath.
  22. Yes a bit of a pain but not insurmountable if the will is there. Not sure it is though. I am not doing huge quantities like some of these fellows so not really a big deal to handball a few logs about.
  23. Ouch. Not sure I would be so keen on them at that price
  24. Don't even bother with this now Rowan. It was a bit of a fiddle and now I use a truck instead of a trailer so don't fancy a slip and beating seven bells out of the truck. Quite like the fact all the logs are sorted and any remaining processor waste can be discarded. It's undoubtedly my weakest link in the chain but not come up with any sensible priced solutions. Started mesh bags for the short logs for next year but have already run into problems as our baby tractor can't lift them high enough to get them into the truck bed. Fortunate that we sell a lot of larger logs 12"-16" so handling is not that big an issue at that size.
  25. That all looks pretty slick Barry.
