  1. I’m out, I reckon they are bidding far to high! I was going to offer 50p and a curlywurly
  2. Any subbies get paid at end of week every week, end of story. Every day just wouldn’t work, to much to do fixing, sharpening, tipping, getting ready for the next day etc.
  3. I reckon a heap of 10inch lose logs shrinks by about 25% when stacked, so you load of 1.6 cube would be about 1.2 cube. the bigger the logs the more air space and the more he heap will shrink by. We have proven over time that it takes less wood to fill a truck with 12 inch logs over 8 inch. All this is based on observation not science!
  4. Cheers. the Norwood saws do look good 😎
  5. Bench grinder like most people I would guess! sharpen free hand then 2 nuts with the flats welded together together will check the angles for you, you can get jigs to hold the angle on the grinder but I’ve never used one.
  6. What made you go for the Norwood over logsol, trekmet or woodland mills?
  7. Cell grown plants and tubex easy wrap seem to give better results over bare root and spirals. The guards go on quicker and remove complete, most can be reused for a second planting.
  8. For fitting the breast plate to? (Only guessing, not even an educated one!)
  9. Useful button - have used
  10. You brought a house with mature trees close by in someone else’s property and now your complaining about the trees that were clearly visible when you viewed the property? I can hear it from here “I love trees but………..” 🙄 I’m quite aware I’m no help on the subject but, is this for real? I wouldn’t of brought the property if the trees were a problem. To be fair I can see they are likely to be a problem to most people.
  11. @Woodworks Have you got a link? I can’t seem to find anything on there site apart from biochar. (I’m a techno Luddite tho)
  12. Sorry spud, buggered if I know what happened 🤦‍♂️
  13. Don’t flail it until you’ve spoken to whoever is laying it. if you get no joy on here, try here: NHLS HEDGELAYING.ORG.UK
  14. In the past I have put 20 cube a day through a older woodland mills version of this with 2 people and a basic log deck (just a bench at the same height as the infeed) they are simple and basic machines with little to go wrong. It’s not a big processor comparing it with one is like comparing a greenmech cs100 and a lorry mounted biomass chipper, completely different animals for completely different markets. It is what it is - simple and effective for relatively small quantities of firewood.
  15. Is trig parking in your box as well?

    Tipper body

    If you paid for a zinc (galvanised) and you haven’t got it send it back. The term is “Not fit for purpose” if it’s not as you were quoted and paid for you will be able to return the body, at worst case you will win in small claims (assuming you have a written quote and a invoice/receipt and didn’t pay cash to dodgy Dave from the pub) In the mean time don’t sand or paint it etc - As soon as you change/modify the product (body) it will be your problem. All of the above is assuming you have only had the body a short period of time, if I remember rightly the law states words to the effect of “a reasonable time frame” check the rules with someone who’s job it is to know the finer points (not me) If it’s old and I’ve missed the point 3m do a good rust converter/stopper.
  17. On a shogun we used to have was fitted with a peddlers hd suspension setup, it sat 1.5-2 inch higher and a little stiffer, it made the world of difference against the standard shogun set up for towing a heavy trailer, rode, handled and the trailer braked better.
  18. I’ve seen similar on sycamore, it made me take a second look the first time I saw it?
  19. Full time for the same company is not a sub contractor in the eyes of hmrc. Sooner or later the brown stuff will hit the spinning thing on the ceiling. Pass the popcorn please someone 🍿
  20. This morning in the time it took me to put 90 something £ in the truck there was a couple of woman complaining how long they had to que, one of them I could see the pump, she put less than a tenner in her car. They want a bloody slap 🤯
  21. While your greasing ive had probs with the pivot points binding stopping a tipper body coming down. (I don’t need a 🍺)
  22. Put a picture up, it’s easier to help so you will get better and more responses. For a start I would remove the dead, depending on the height of the hedge you should fill some of the gaps by laying it. If you lay it in a low style like Dorset you can plash down some hazel so it takes root in the gaps as well. (This can be done with higher styles but the stem layed flat to take root may look a little odd.) where abouts are you in the country? There are some of on here that lay or look up on here: NHLS WWW.HEDGELAYING.ORG.UK
  23. All good this side of the water cheers. Hope the same can be said for you guys?
  24. Eventually the trunk splits. They dont seem to snap the handle off so yes prob fairly strong
