My 17 plate Navara says just under 37 mpg average over 45k, not all in my ownership. I can get 40mpg easily if I try, if I really try I can get close to 50mpg. It also records best ever which is 66mpg but that was very exceptional. Towing knocks at least 10mpg off empty or loaded. Using cruise control and staying at 56 on main roads, 65 on motorways makes an enormous difference. Its not hard to get those figures below 30mpg if you wanted to.

Thank you. I bought it off Ian Gregory who I met at APF. He posts on FB Firewood and Processors page and think he trades as Essex Logs and Fences.

Haven't had much chance to use it as I am in the nasty depths of cancer treatment still. Did get to have a play though and it is quick, powerful for any timber. Does create a significant amount of waste/bits but not excessive. Does need a screen or cleaner of some sort and an elevator is a big help. I use an old adapted bale elevator to good effect. Log lift is useful. It's a bit expensive to buy but will last forever and probably not reduce in value. No regrets. Above comments are based on using the box wedge.

Salt spray or herbicide are the only two I can think of

Farriers hoof knife is very similar. fiver on ebay

A shocking tale! I wish you all the best.

I sold two wooden bins to someone who collected in an Audi saloon hatchback. They claimed they were going to put them inside but no chance of them fitting. They got me to forklift them on to the roof and took them like that. No idea how they got them off again but they did message to say they got home safely.

Have to admit I am in awe at those guys that do it with a truck and only using mirrors, that is something else.

I take it nobody is a fan of turntable trailers then? Used to love reversing them carting straw as I was pretty good at it. Once put my tractor on the hauliers turntable drag trailer and reversed it around the yard to the barn, mate says to the wagon driver "that young lad just reversed your full trailer round that corner with a shonky old tractor and got it closer to the stack than when you drove it forwards, empty and in a field!" (made my day that did)

I reckon he is after being appointed as East European Peace Envoy

Tell her that getting someone else to do it is cheating.

I have seen a few of these in the flesh in Oz and they look and sound the absolute dogs wotsits

Out of shot, didn't want to upset the dry January folk.

Fray Bentos pie in a tin, marrowfat peas and liquor, mash and a dollop of ketchup. Food of the gods.

I expect nearly all family trees have inbreeding somewhere in the line. Even up until relatively recent times there wasn't a great deal of social movement, in rural communities especially. I know of two married first cousins, they have had a long and happy life together and their children and grandchildren are all fit and well.

TBH can't see bugger all in that rubbish pic. Sir

I prefer my 452 WMR, marvellous gun

Tree surgeons rarely know how to prune apple trees but they do look better than usual. I would remove about two thirds of those new shoots keeping the healthiest looking ones that radiate away from the trunk. Upright shoots will tend to continue to grow strongly upwards with little fruit. Ideally you would keep any at 45 degrees as they will fruit best without being too droopy. Generally they will crop on two year old growth and older so not such a big crop this year but will improve the following year. Aim to do the same next year so you continuously replace the branches over 5 years or so. As they have already been pruned hard they are very stimulated to vegetative growth I wouldn't be reducing any to 3 or 4 buds. They will just grow again like mad next year. General rule is if you are going to cut a branch off cut it right off, reducing them just ends up like a pollarded lime with no fruit.

They sent me a toffee penny out of a Quality Street tin. Never been so insulted in all my life!

Classic running out of fuel symptoms. If there is fuel in the tank I'd say it was sucking air from somewhere.

Doctor Foster predates motor cars and they were pretty bad in his day.

As things are right now, if a stand of oak was managed very carefully for a few hundred years I wouldn't be very confident you would even be allowed to harvest it at maturity. It would be a playground for dogs and town dwellers, there would be uproar.

That is all so last year. Addblue containers are the new thing. Readily available and come with a handy pouring spout and cleverly designed storage for it when not in use.

Didn't notice any markings other than a picture of a cow tbh.

Closer to rustic firelighter really.
