    As everyone has said Makita Lxt / Bosch / Dewalt, Li-Ion do not buy Nicad. You need at least 3 amp hr (4 amp hr is the new standard). Watch out for Screwfix Deals, buy the drill and 1 battery, get another battery at same time at a good discount, then buy a "bare" impact driver and your sorted. Battery charge times have come right down some are only 30-45mins now.

    So I went to a large DIY store to get a couple of bags of Miracle Gro compost (2 for £10), lots of pallets in the car park out front, compost, bark ships ect. I parked next to it ready, went in said to girl what I wanted, she handed me a piece of paper and a pen and asked me to go write down the bar code off the bag so she could sell it to me! Have they not heard of price look up tables, usually a strip of bar codes sellotaped to the side of the till. Good job it was a Wednesday, can you imagine the fun on Saturdays.

    Biggest I have is varied size as I felled this for firewood rather than other use, there are 6 butts on the floor which come near to your requirements, all sorts of sizes 11,12,16 across, 12-18 deep. ake it your in Rye so can bring them home to Eastbourne if needed.

    and a Bacon Sandwich with a brown sauce dispenser on the side! I prefer the German one as theres less manual handling, just need to be a multi cutter, ah well back to my axe and rubber tyre.

    I usually use 6ft X 4"" fence posts cut in half for legs then planks accordingly.
  14. Sussex Groundie
    You don't need a chainsaw, you need a hack saw for that one, interesting.....

    You could hire one from Gerorge Rose, Buxted High St, about 8hp would do. Or a BCS Engine unit with rotovator attachment if you can find one second hand.

    I went all Ally as Transit payloads are poor at best, James did you see the Yellow Iveco 6.5 ton on West Sussex Gumtree £2700 100k?

    I quite fancy one of those cheap Mitox Top handles for next to the chipper for nipping off odd bits that won't run through properly. I know this is prob so very wrong as 1) I do not climb 2) I dont have a CS39.

    Many yrs ago I had my Transit Tipper insured with Norwich Union (Aviva) for "any driver" there were 3 of us all over 25 .... when I renewed I asked if there was any way of reducing the premium and was told "any driver" is based on a 17 yr old with a drink driving conviction. I then changed to drivers over 25 and saved a lot of money.

    Yes good point, using a Quad at the moment which is a bit light, keep falling down rabbit holes as the engine is outboard.......could do with a shorted draw bar as turning in the wood is a bit tight.
