for agricultural work phone machinery ring, they will give you rates for farm work,but remember to allow for plenty fuel.i know a lot of farmers who already own there kit and can only make profit if they are working 15 hour days,

i have a john deere mulching mower.bought from local auction.ex council.think it was £80 has Kawasaki engine which can be slow to start if left for a few months.but once its going its ace.it will go up any slope .even pulls you up.and not bad on fuel for a bigger mower.

Hi there just looking for some advice.just done a deal on a transit van with cherry picker fitted.old beast.1993 but good enough condition for age.it has no mot or tax but only needing it for personal use at the moment.painting outside my new house gutters etc.but i noticed lots on the net are mot exempt.is this normal or just bigger ones.and i have a new licence plus trailer test.not fussed about loller tests .but wondered if it would be worth puting back on the road in the future.if not just keep as a toy.thanks Stuart

yea its not a grab but im sure this would be a handy peice of kit,looks verry expensive new,its been for sale for a couple of months so must have big reserve.

hi we are having a clear out of store at the moment and have started listing on ebay loads of new old stock oregon rim spockets, might be of interest to some with older saws, mostly 70s 80s saws, got over 100 selling cheap to make some space, my ebay name is stuartgordonltd if interested have a look, thanks stuart:biggrin:

yea he is a realy nice guy,he still also has a water powered saw mill, and his son told me he offered to load on some big oak with his digger, but he refused and uses bars and rollers to get on to the table,just a shame that it is no longer viable for anyone to make a proper living out of these old mills,a trust may be taking it on but if more than one person is working in the mill at the same time they are classed as an employee, and insurance wont cover as to dangerous with open belts etc, but a bit dangerous for someone working on there own, as there is no off switch:001_huh: so its catch 22,

just bored and came across my neighbour who has a wood turning watermill at the end of our farm track,proper old school legend, still working the mill in his 80s, might be of interest to some of you, [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyujeLtaekg]Finzean Turning Mill - Scotland - YouTube[/ame], hope this works if not search finzean woodturning on you tube, cheers stuart

i made one for father in laws christmas, from a hgv hubcap to put in his garage, had to walk about 2 miles along the dual caridge way to retrieve,i will try and get a photo,

just plain strait boards not feathered,mostly between 14-18 inch diameter, not to many knots as out of planted wood,someone told me if they are grown to fast they might not be as waterproof as older trees,yea i need to work out if i have enough to do whole job,or not worth the hasle,thanks for advice,also trees have been cut and stacked for around a year if i mill and stack boards how long would they need before i could fit them roughly, cheers
