    Not selling it by the tone selling it by the cube I though 45 quid a cube by the wagon load sounds a fair price Are they wood dealers or want some fire wood to burn? I dont live anywhere near there mate Just want it sold when I leave so best to sell to a dealer who will hold onto it until next season

    What makes you say that? graham (who sewers by northern tools) says that saw would do my job and he also said that it is one of the northern tools brans, where a company who makes saws put a different brand name on it and sell at a discount rate

    Was that from Argos? I have bough things from Argos in the past They told me they offer a 1 year warranty and if it brakes in the first 45 days they will replace or refund it but if its after the 45 days they said they would have to send it back to the manufacturer, which would mean you would be with out your saw Having looked at 'the Sale of Goods Act' im not so sure as it says the seller has a duty to refund or replace the item not who they got if from Did they change the item for you there and then? what went wrong with your saw when you took it back Did you find the saw under powered and if so did it stall on big logs Thanks JT

    Do you think this would fit the bill? Buy Qualcast QG-PT3043 Petrol Chainsaw - 46cc at Argos.co.uk - Your Online Shop for Chainsaws. everyone keeps saying that these cheepo saws are underpowered and unsafe, why? if the saw is underpowered would the engine stall when cutting through a big log?

  22. John Thomas
    Interesting photo thanks We used to get 26 pallets on the floor of a curtain sider so thats 52 pallets stacked on top of each other do you only have 44 pallets due to the weight? What kind of netting do you use round the pallets how do you get the netting to hold the wood together in a cube so it dose not fall off I can see some kind of yellow band around it and did you have to buy the pallets
  23. John Thomas
    Whats 25T in volume of seasoned oak and ash?
  24. John Thomas
    googled it and only found photos and web sites of companies delivering lengths of timber If one was to process firewood on site and have a haulage contractor pick it up with a 44T artic 1. what type of trailer would they use 2. how do they expect it bagged 3. how much weight and volume of hardwood can they fit on Thanks JT
  25. John Thomas
    I would be intrested in picking it up so long as its not rotten and wet
