Been felling Sycamore for next year... -
Grants tend to come from LAG groups. There's a really good one in east Herts called Eastern Plateau - funds anything from machinery, marketing costs, infrastructure etc depending on the project. Max grant 40% net VAT.

Happy with my Defender 130 - I'd have another, but my td5 is just run-in at 190k 🙃

That's why I have a LR defender 130 - 1.5 ton payload and 3.5t towing

Fibreglass handles always flex too much. I've got 2 of the Stihl 3.5kg splitting mauls with Ash handles, protected end plates and shaft shields. Never failed or moved in 6 years.

Ant anstead had one on (2016/17 model) test for a magazine recently, seams the wheel arches are all open with no covers. Meaning all the road crap blows into the engine bay and all the chassis nooks & crannies......

There are so many mowers to choose from & don't forget remote control alternatives like - "Delly" the Deltrak.

Don't care where they've gone! As someone with a severe allergic reaction to the acid stings of wasps & hornets, the fewer the better.

Ecu's are v. Expensive if they fail - circa £3k.

PISTOL by Bayer is what we use for areas not intended to bear vegetation. It's a residual herbicide that contains glyphosate for immediate knockdown. It then keeps killing / staying active on the surface of the soil / in the soil for up to 6 months. Costs about £140 + VAT from ALS

My Defender 130 has a built hydraulic pump with 54 lt/min flow rate, so I'd go for an engineless version
-
All look great when new and shiny but they do depreciate. My Defender 130 on the other hand is worth more than when I bought it 4 years ago....

Sounds like a scam I got hit by about 10yrs ago by a company from Liverpool, they had a host of titles like "the fireman", "uk police forces" etc.

If you're delivering firewood to domestic customers, VAT on delivery would be 5%

Talk to midland tree surgeons nr burton on Trent - have offered a national stumpgrinding service since early 70's. I know used to work for them and do the job.

Couple of apprentices at £2.75 / hr?

My reverse drive alpine tractor has a heavy duty Caroni flail fitted with boot flails, happy to quote for doing the work.

Stihl FS310 or FS410 clearing saw - can fit Supercut 40-2 head, shredder kit, Polycut blades and it will munch most things.

Takes Land Rover techies about an hour to lift the body on a disco 3 - only 10x bolts holds the body to the chassis.

2004 Defender 130 @ 189000
-
I had an ex-environment agency 53 plate; at 100k, viscous fan sheared mountings & took out radiator/intercooler, at 150k big end failed, it had been serviced regularly by Mitsubishi main dealer all its life & not abused. Service costs are high, spare parts are expensive, cab is cramped (if over 6 foot), payload is ok, leaf sprung rear suspension is archaic. Swapped to a Defender 130 - coil sprung, more dealers/specialists, lots of parts at very reasonable prices, easy to repair, high payload (1.5 tonnes), great towing ability.

Thinking of having a crack at making charcoal.
HertsWood replied to Woodworks's topic in General chat
We're in the running for an RDPE grant towards a charcoal retort' aiming to produce charcoal from the timber we source from woodlands we have under management. More news to follow.... -
Ive got air springs on the rear of my 130 - makes all the difference when loaded & towing. 🤔
