That's the beasty I was thinking of, always thought the firewood it produced was garbage in the videos. If I wasn't in a smoke control zone, I'd be buying a cheap polish woodchip boiler and cutting out all the hassle 🙂

How much should I charge for using my truck
GarethM replied to Coretrees's topic in Business Management
Realistically how many miles are we talking about per day, is it better to just increase the day rate than trying to calculate the mileage and making your billing sound too complicated or arsey ?. £20 a day providing it's not off the estate or something equally simple?. -
Or carefully Dremel them off if they've become welded to the shaft. Cut them carefully and use a flat screwdriver to open it enough to slide of the shaft.

I'm not the Messiah, my mother just tells me I'm a naughty boy.

I've a few buried in the mud in Belgium of that's what your asking.

With all this free time to post meme's, shouldn't you be getting back to your party funded Kamala drum beating and door knocking in those swing states ?.
-
Wasn't knocking it, just economic reality.

Badged in Poland, just a reduction gearbox with blades. I have memories of a version that used a gearbox and a woodchipper style flywheel that turns slowly to shears and roll the branch as it cut. Think it was posch or remet, typically over engineered and expensive

I have to agree to disagree I'm afraid, whilst I will agree that anything sub £100 is usually terrible garbage. Most rimfire and air including FAC don't need much more than £200, spend more if your a HFT tackle tart as that's usually bonkers carp fishing levels of money, whilst I envy the accuracy it just feels too clinical. What's the quote from rush, you focus on the numbers you spoil the game. Even your average centre fire shooter isn't doing much more than a few 2-300 yards. Unless you next level 260Rips, then enjoy taking it out to almost a mile.

Why do I get the feeling your a kitted out in the finest high tech camo, whilst I bum around in DPM kinda guy ?.

There are limits tho, a 2k scope on a 1k rifle seems a little bit ridiculous when the rifle isn't designed for long distance MOA accuracy. Unless you're aiming to trade upto some top of the range AI rifle pushing the 1000 yards. If you're eyesight isn't bad I would be tempted into service rifle using irons personally. Plenty of YouTube, bloke on the range being a good example. It's much more challenging and a test of your ability, hell I've even been impressed by the bench rest stuff using FAC air rifles in the USA.

Budget vs finance and how good at repairing are all factors to consider. If you have the funds, plenty of low hours machines keep popping up in the for sale section. Usually from the we only keep it until the warranty expires finance types.

Wishing to pick yer brains re a "new-to-me" tractor.
GarethM replied to difflock's topic in Large equipment
Even a 30k box is enough in reality. No point being the hare, when the tortoise gets there at half the cost. Plus unless it's on tracks they all crawl across the field the same. -
I don't really stretch the legs past 150/200, good enough for the girls I go out with 🙂. I did make a point of getting the rimfire versions as the parallax is set closer than the normal 100yards so less blurry. Think it's 60yards or something like that.
-
Been using Hawke scopes since they started selling them, it's a UK brand and reasonable price. Depends on what calibre and distance, but I'm old school and don't do all this parallax adjustment and just know my drops. If you're looking at vector I'm guessing you're a turret adjustment kind of shooter over distance?. Plus sport match mounts every day of the week!.

If it's a dry site and close to a town or village, you might be able to do a glamping/wedding kinda deal. Speak to a few planners and they'll be able to point you in the right direction. It's a few grand a month for a couple of days work/sacrifice of the solitude.

Depends on if she's one of these new age naturists.

2 100 year old Oaks on neighbouring property for removal
GarethM replied to Rebeccap87's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
Me thinks a lack of moisture at the moment is something of an impossibility, it's rained that much Ahab and an ark could sail by. Just let them crack on, if the shoe was on the other foot you'd be telling them to do one. -

Leave your neighbours to it, your the one speaking to their tree guy and the council about TPOs. -
2 100 year old Oaks on neighbouring property for removal
GarethM replied to Rebeccap87's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
So what are you actually asking, other than your neighbour has a good reason to remove a couple of 30 year old trees ?. Personally, get shot as it's better now than being inside the living room or garage. -
If that got me Victoria Coren, count me in.

Without recounting my tale of woe, I'm running 45 acres zero grants as it's just more hand tying. Plus a firewood business using arb arisings probably 300m3+, a semi full time electrical engineering business importing/distributing & servicing. Let's not even get into the finances of what I've spent 100k+, stay with the containers idea first as it's about £30 a week for a 20ft.

Welcome to the farming club, it's very expensive if you ever want to do absolutely anything. Forget the firewood & woodchip, unless you want to be a tip site as 9 acres isn't going to be enough. If it was me, get your rental stuff on its own two feet and use that income to pay for more after getting vat registered in the name of the farm, as it's also a separate income from you.

Have you actually spoken with them or just expecting them to have in stock a special order part ?. As per what kram has said, any dealer including L&S should be able to order them and be shipped from Germany or wherever in a day or two.
