£480 + vat 😁

Mark Beach not got anything about mate?

I've just put two and two together Tom, and worked out it's you! How do mate! 👍🏼

All great info as always, most appreciated! Hand pump seems to be the easiest option, interested in hearing more on barrel stand and tap solution though. I must admit that idea fills me with worry about pissing it all over the floor, I'm presuming it uses gravity to fill rather than a pump? To answer the question regards price on 200L drum.... I've been offered it at £400+vat. The equivalent Aspen is £480ish I think, so decent saving. I'm picking it up from a local dealer so no delivery to pay.

I am making a switch from Aspen to Stihl’s offering as I am fed up of having empty 5L cans knocking about my shed, and I can get a very good deal on a big old drum of Motomix. I have a 200L drum coming next week, and I now need a way to get said fuel out of said drum and into my combi can. I could probably get away with a manual pump, as I’ll only ever be decanting 5L at a time. But I am a big fan of mechanising as much as possible, so I’m open to getting a 12V or mains powered pump also. Anybody got any recommendations/top tips for what’s out there? Have been toying with the idea of getting a similar sized drum of bar oil too. Clearly I’ll not go through that quite as quickly and I can imagine it’s a bit of a bugger to pump especially in the cold! So I might stick to 20L drums for now. Cheers.

Buying any secondhand vehicle is a gamble. Avoiding a pup can be possible, but sometimes you end up with one. I've not had many over the years, but a MK4 Golf I bought once cost me dearly. I was blinded by the sexy sound of a 5 cylinder engine though ..... I remember hearing the saying "there is no replacement for displacement" and quite like this idea for a tow vehicle! My Shogun has a meaty 3.2D engine, and I've had it fettled up a bit so it's got 240bhp and 500nm torque so yanks the Logbullet around with ease. I personally would be fearful of using say a 2 litre with a set of turbos on for a prolonged period of time, just because the engine will be getting so much more abuse. However, that's certainly the way things have gone so maybe I'm living in the dark ages? Unfortunately most stuff these days seem to have built in obsolescence. Stuff just works to an expiry date effectively. Sometimes you get lucky and have care free motoring, but a lot of folk end up pouring money into something once it reaches a certain age or mileage (myself included) You convince yourself the next fix will be the one that stops the rot, but invariably it never is!

Have a search on Instagram if you want to see the merhcandise.... https://instagram.com/outinthewoodagain?utm_medium=copy_link

It's like an only fans account following you on Instagram 😂 proper saw p0rn!

Wasnt a bad start to the day this morning 😎👍🏼

I was in the butcher's last week and a customer was in moaning that the prices had gone up. I wondered what world she'd been living in of late? I felt sorry for the fella at the counter having to try and justify it.

Whereabouts in Northumberland are you? @MattyF could be the man perhaps.

I lined up a wee bit of brash for @Gray gitto chip yesterday.

I hope this doesn’t go down like an undercooked piece of fish…….. But I’ve fairly recently discovered the recipe's by a man called Scott Baptie. Nearly every single one I’ve made has been delicious, and also proving a hit with the particularly fussy Mrs. Worth having a look if like me you get stuck in a rut with your food and cooking. Weve enjoyed his beef stifado tonight, very tasty even though I forgot the red wine 🤦🏼‍♂️

Is your house the one in the second photo mate? 😉

"Whenever there is any doubt, there is no doubt" Great quote from a great film, but one I use often, especially when buying something secondhand 😂

I’ve no experience of it myself, but noticed this little set up when ordering off Chris Forestry yesterday…… https://www.chrisforestry.co.uk/store/Tree-Runner-Rigging-Bollard-P-500-Kit-p371965020

Looks like I stirred up a bit of a good discussion by reviving this thread! From a purely selfish view, I think it's fair to say I am safe using red diesel going forward. And in all honesty, I hardly use a drop compared to folks running big ol tractors etc. The Logbullet is a very frugal workhouse! However, I do feel very sorry for those who fall into the grey area. Especially when those in the knowledge at the sharp end of things, can see what's being done correctly and who are taking the piss. Shame it'll all be decided by some office bound bellend who has no clue what they're talking about....

My mum just picked up 3 X bottles of her favourite NZ white wine for £18 in Sainsburys. Usually about £12 a bottle! I've never been a red wine man, definitely prefer white, but like Matty does I reach for a nice IPA when the time is right! Currently working my way through a mixed bag of stuff from Brewdog.

I did think I was reading it wrong 😂

It's this bit I struggle to decifer..... Are they saying it's restricted to the following purposes,or are they making changes to restrict the following purposes?

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/reform-of-red-diesel-entitlements/reform-of-red-diesel-and-other-rebated-fuels-entitlement many apologies for dragging this up again.... But this was revised on with November and now says farming and forestry are exempt?! Or am I reading this wrong?! (Every chance!)

Nice big Birch on a site today.

I thoroughly enjoyed driving home from Hexham to Richmond on the A68 in high winds and snow whilst towing the Logbullet in the dark with an immeasurable amount of total bellends driving so close to the back of my trailer they would have spotted the oil leak on the forwarder. Mother Hubbards, the lot of em!
