    Has anyone used the Timberwolf 75(?) the 3 inch one? Just wanting to know if it actually works with 3 inch stuff well? need to hire a machine and it’s that it a camon( I think) it just for chipping some low low hanging branches. thanks in advance

    I use invoco. Diverts local number to mobile. £2 per month plus some money (6p per minute on incoming calls or something small anyway) mine rarely goes above £5 a month. I pay the extra for it to tell me it’s from the virtual number before it connects me.

    That would be brilliant thanks. I’m hoping they dry enough for me to have a go after Christmas when my work goes quiet but i may be disappointed!

    Really? Or ting oil for table and drinking brandy for you ?

    I’ve cut down a cherry tree today and managed to get some slices to make some pan stands/ decorative items and I’m wondering how long it needs to dry firstly. Then after that it can go through a planer thicknesser. It looks like it has some nice grain so what’s best to finish it with please? Many thanks in advance

    The Honda is supposed to have self sharpening blades that actually work not just a sales gimmick. 4 stroke though so a bit heavier than others.

    So would you rather they were sat at home doing nothing? small businesses can’t always afford to pay people “the right money” whatever that is? Some people think just turning up on time deserves paying a lot for. Sorry it doesn’t. people need to add value. if they do add value they should be paid appropriately. i don’t disagree totally with you on this I just don’t see that everyone can be paid top money as it’s not there in a lot of cases!

    That’s just twisting what I’m saying to suit your narrative! the stats are a sham there is no denying it. However as a taxpayer I’d rather we topped up someone’s earnings than ended up paying full benefits if they were sat on their arses! average wage is about £25k I think? So to be the average there has to be a lot of people that earn lots less than that. i think we both know you can’t live a decent life and feed and house a family on £25k. how do we fix it? its not by paying everyone £20 an hour as that would simply become the new minimum wage and everything would be three times the price it is now. to add I’d rather not pay for the feckless to sit and watch sky eating pizza but I’ve got no say in that either!
  9. Richard 1234
    Well imo that’s better than paying it all!

    How often does that actually work? I can’t imagine very often as these scumbags probably just nick another saw when one breaks! Why pay to service if you can steal one! Wankers!!
  11. Richard 1234
    Ouch! Hope you are insured. Where abouts I the country?
  12. Richard 1234
    Probably! Though the ag rules are stupid and unfit for purpose and have been for a long time! It’s not like farmers are using fordson tractors anymore! its frightening seeing these young lads driving huge tractors with huge trailers through small villages as fast as they can. Makes me wonder how many deaths from it there has been?

    Why do you care how he spends his(or his banks) money. He could buy it himself and claim mileage, or buy it through the business and take off a percentage for personal use. It doesn’t need to be post tax at all!edit just seen another post with same things said
  14. Richard 1234
    That’s where you are falling down. If married try adding wife as named driver that should bring it down (providing she drives that is!)
  15. Richard 1234
    That’s another way of looking at it. For me now I’d rather have the nice motor as I get to look and use it everyday. A holiday is gone in a couple of weeks.
  16. Richard 1234
    I think it’s a properly sad state if you can’t just buy something nice with your money without only thinking of the bottom line. I go to work to have nice things and a nice life not to be the richest man in the graveyard
  17. Richard 1234
    Why bother going to work if you can’t buy something nice?
  18. Richard 1234
    If you work hard and can’t buy a nice work toy then what’s the point
  19. Richard 1234
    He wants to be pleased it didn’t hit a person! The rest of it is metal and wood and can be replaced. I think they will pay out then decide if it’s worth chasing him for the money
  20. Richard 1234
    Have you sold the sawmil business now? like the new machines too?
  21. Richard 1234
    I got one a couple of years back. Just for the pole saw. I don’t do anything like enough tree work to get a “proper “ one. Used it about half a dozen times. It’s fine for me
  22. Richard 1234
    I’ve done it myself in the past. Painful is the word! I bought a spare cassette last time and it’s still sat in a drawer now since it’s never gone wrong again!
  23. Richard 1234
    You’ve got a lot more patience than me! I’d spend the £20 (or whatever it is) on a new one and be done in 1 minute!
  24. Richard 1234
    Sorry I’ll keep quiet[emoji22][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

    You only need look at some council housing estates. One local to me for example has a terrible reputation for thieving scum bags. In reality there are probably half a dozen families of said twats that ruin the place (and give bad reputation) for everyone else that lives there! It’s not just travellers that cause problems, at least not round here
