It started as £40 and I said I don't pay for softwood arbwaste as not worth the time to process... so he dropped to £20 am I dumb to turn it away. I can do a bit of processing here and there on a sunday morning, not during work time

Not much to lose is there

What's it like to burn? I'm in the 'if its dry enough it'll burn' camp so not snobby about softwood but been offered some at £20/load (typical arb transit). Its arbwaste not cordwood. Thoughts? Would you?

Make sure you submit a figure that you wont have regrets with afterwards, whatever way it goes. Work out highest you'd be comfortable paying to still make money. If you win you don't think 'oh crap I overpaid as I was desparate not to lose it' as you submitted a price you were happy paying. If you lose it you think 'oh well I went as high as I could, any higher wouldn't have been profitable for me' Don't worry too much what the market rate is, work out what its worth to you in your business. Probably no one else can tell you that. Hope this helps.

The weld holding the blade to the shaft sliding part broke on mine in the first couple of weeks use if that helps🙈. In fairness they sent a completely new splitter straight away... and the same happened! I wouldn't touch one but they said it was a batch issue and they'd sort it which I'm sure they have, think I was just unlucky. I moved onto processor so never bothered chasing it up. But getting back to point yes fiskars x27 is a good axe to start with, can't go too far wrong lovely axe.

Anyone offer this in the south east?

Went offroad in one of the early prototype grenadiers when they were testing. Fully agree generally issues with vehicles are ironed out over time. But they've put years of research into the grenadier, I love their thought process/design, everything is practical and based around how can we make this a rugged work truck not a chelsea tractor. Using parts from well established brands as already mentioned. A risk I'd very much like to take if I had half an excuse to get one.

I've got a bin made from pallets and just build a new one every year or so. Fill it with grass, leaves, kitchen waste, wood ash etc. Once its full i dig it out mixing with wood chip as i go. Dug it in before planting bareroot hornbeam hedge, which took off like crazy so cant have been too bad? Haven't got a secret recipe just always mixed in as much different stuff as poss Definitely not potting compost but great to dig in beds/before planting hedging etc.

Might be! Next door neighbours cat used to get to our gateway, check it was clear then run past, going back to a walking pace once it was past our entrance. Mission accomplished. They just won't leave anything on their fur. It does work... if you can get close enough! Put it this way it never works twice on the same cat though!

Is washing up liquid politically correct? A bit of that on their fur, which they then have to lick off. Doesn't do them any harm but they don't risk getting it twice

Where abouts in the country are you? Someone might know a dealer who has a hire/demo machine you can try before you buy

Looked at that one, just too big for our room nice stove though

I reckon that was the best £100 I ever spent, about 10 years of really abusing it before it finally gave up... began to think it was completely impossible to destroy

My brothers got one. Feels plasticy compared to my bosch one but is quite powerful and good value for the money
