not sure of the make of the splitter or the quad. splitter is a tractor mounted one and 25ton. will try and get some more info off him. as you say "time of year" be on your guard people.

as above, not mine but a friends. stolen on Wednesday, ive used the splitter a few times and have a couple of pics, but as yet no info on the quad that's gone with it. stolen from the welford area in northants, also my wifes just informed me the lead has gone off the local church. keep your eyes open lads. hmm thought id got some pics, but must of deleted them, will try and get some more info. cheers.

burning a lot of ash at the min mixed with some hawthorn and beach and larch I think, not sure on that one. a lot of old knarly stuff that I could,nt split with a axe, but now me splitter is running ive a load of odd shaped pieces. ( just like the tetris game, as mentioned. got about 10t of ash and 4t of beach, should last me a couple of years.

been a while since I had a play with me splitter, work and other things getting in the way. at the minute ive a ridiculous amount of wood that needs splitting, some being a couple of year old. so ive a week of work to sort a few of the jobs out that ive fell behind with. just a pic of my modid splitter, wide wheels and a trator exhaust.

lol. just going through all this hassle myself at the moment. I rent a small unit off a local farmer, along with four other folk in units. long story short, if you get valued at under 6k per year you don't pay out due to the small business relief thingy. that's under the current gov. I got valued at 1400 per year, then half it roughly and that what your expected to pay, but with relief and a lot of grief I hopefully wont be paying anything. found out today, when I got the bill from the council, I,d got five bills back dating to 2010!! but all looking good at the min. just another tax, I would not see any benefit from it if I had to pay it, good ol blighty. -
Clearly a case of "well it aint my tool" syndrome...

ive worked for myself for the past 15yrs, (self employed) work got a tad slack so started doing work for a local comp, just three day a week (still SE) ive allways bought me own kit, bought the best I can, and maintain it. anyway im the only SE bloke on this comp, the other five are on the books. it really pisses me of when they come out with "oh it aint mine feck it" then they winge that the gaffers don't look after out or repair it. these "lads" are in there 40s and fifties. just my little moan, w*****s the lot of them. -
so very very true.

hot hot hot here, back to work yesterday after 3 week off, not at all pleasant when gassing and welding 16mm plate for 6 hours! but fantastic when I get home and crack a cold one!!!!
-
sure is a murex, (touch wood) been a good welder so far, its only a single phase im on the lookout for something bigger at the mo, something 3phase with a bit more umph, for some reason the jobs I seem to getting are getting bigger needing a tad more umph.
