  1. Gotta be a wind up? No ones that daft surely?
  2. I guess spunking loads of money is a form of saving.
  3. Nah, it’s an opportunity to buy as folk are selling off what they don’t want or can’t afford for cheap. I’ve snapped up a few bargains and hope to continue this trend.
  4. You get him telt Les! What does Dave know about the Armed Forces, eh? [emoji16]
  5. We all know what makes you blind. 🤣
  6. Maybe you need to leave a little more meat on the bone so the logger has something to chomp on? I had the same issue with the super thin stuff. I can’t quite comprehend how you intend to get above firewood prices for what is essentially worthless other that for burning? That 2.5 hours of logging will yield me £750. I can’t see anything else getting me remotely that return.
  7. No idea what happened to my post above. [emoji15]
  8. I sell 1” thick Waney Edged boards on facebay. In fact I’ve got someone coming tomorrow to who wants a regular supply. Now I’ve access to a branch logger I’ll be taking thicker scab cuts and putting them all through this machine. Can take a 4”thick times 8” wide scab. Last week I bagged up 14 or so 1-1/4 cubic meter bags and stacked them in two and a half hours. They sell for £50 a bag. [/url] [/url]I did a days milling for a local Estate. 100 larch logs needing one cut on each log. £450 for the day and just had to drive the Avant and push the saw. The scabs will fill 3 bags. That’s an extra £150. I’m gonna need a bigger shed. 🤣
  9. What a machine!
  10. He says it was 3 cubes. Shininess just going off of that. It’s not a particularly desirable timber but you dont ask you don’t get. 🤣
  11. Green? £150-200? Seasoned whatever you feel you can get but £300-£350 can’t be far wrong.
  12. Stumps ground from £50 gets the owner on the phone. The quote will be £150 minimum by the time he pops past.
  13. Theres been some progress on the Estate front. Finalising a firewood deal that sounds almost to good to be true. Also increased my workshop space up there. Should hold 100 bags easily.
  14. Who knows, but Im not buying it came from the Taxpayers. If that was the case why sell it? Id say it was paid for by his rich buddies, its why he hung around them all. Mooching off of them. He was always involved in some sort of scams with them.
  15. Maybe, but he had to sell his Chalet to pay for it.
  16. I think the lass got $7.5m as well? If the best lawyers in the world told him to settle out of court then they must have had little hope in winning. This speaks volumes and will forever hang over his head.
  17. But the money is saying that he'll be seen as guilty for the rest of his life.
  18. Sent the original doc from Hakki today. Paid the same price as you would for a new Chinesium rough equivalent. Ive attached the doc here in case anyone else is looking. Its the 2X S+ manual as its the same machine. Ohjekirja 25 Carry 4-2013 EN.pdf
  19. Ah 🤣 Davies Implements do them as well. I’ll call both in the morning. Cheers.
  20. Thank you Les, that’s a different machine I believe. I’ve bought the Carry 25 not the Hawk 25.
  21. Who’s that?
  22. Good info, thanks. I use the a Palax regularly so know what you mean about being in the splitting bay. might have to take the wheel off when in use? I'll see. Bit odd there is very little info or even a manual out here for them. Even the official Hakki website does not list a user manual in their obsolete machine section.
  23. Just purchased this off of ebay. Seems to be in very good condition and lightly used considering its age (Im guessing circa 2013?) Very little info out there for it but seems to be a Road Tow and improved version of the 2x S+. I know its a bit of a baby in the processor world but I have access to endless 3m lengths of 10" max diameter hard and softwood so hopefully will prove to be efficient with its dual rams. Anyone here have any feedback on them? Perhaps its someone on here who sold it?
  24. I’ve fancied an Esse since I seen them on River Cottage. Funnily enough it replaced an oil fired Rayburn that obviously did the cooking but also the hot water and central heating. It drank oil though. So bought the Esse and a 30kw outdoor Oil boiler. Put in a 280l dual indirect coil water tank and had my brother-in-law plum the lot in. So now the Esse does the heating in the kitchen area, 90% of the cooking and the hot water. The Oil Boiler does the heating first thing in the morning and tops the hot water off if needed, ie the 18 year old lass has spent the morning under the power shower🤣 The Esse looks the part in the old Farmhouse, costs me nothing to run and is great during the recent power cuts. We’ve a 10kw stove in the living room as well so we use very little oil these days.
