Hey mate. I use a 20mm plate 100x100 with a bit of pipe on the end of it so it doesn't fly off the jack all the time. Have to use it, even on some of the big hairy ones which are far worse than the ones here it will push the plate into the butt of the log.

Lost 2 stone since scaffolding and on the saw so I'd hope not 😂

Forestry woodcutter, from the Scottish Borders. Here's a few copied from my Instagram: https://instagram.com/jfdonaghy7?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== f464390a11474bc79a86e194c3c932fc.mp4 a9fcdeb88fee4ebaa456e2355ed3d370.mp4 af54f1fe1bc840779725cf3390e41a73.mp4 1abb3293913843ef81d4df94d8121360.mp4 230e4af897454fdbb95765cf61a59bab.mp4 0b694b8c58594dfc9e3a0c57d89acf47.mp4 6dadce47d9c74f61b02dd56d87ab6148.mp4

I'll post them all tonight then. Where should i post them?

I blew my Husky 572 up with the full wrap so got a 585 and it is a beast. I've a few videos I can send you. Got a full wrap coming for the 585, just in time for the 572 being rebuilt 😂
-
Be a bit silly putting another log burner in wouldn't it? Would need to plum it through my downstairs bedroom which is sitting doing nothing anyway and up through my garage etc. I pay a minimum of 200 a month combined tbh but I work in forestry and get unlimited supply of firewood so it would make sense.
-
Grand thanks Gareth. Anything to not pay the 200 gas bill I get monthly now!
-
Aye to be fair I did think for 30kw that'd be a beast. I've a 5kw log burner or so in right now that'll heat my whole top floor, kitchen living room bathroom and hall way to 28/30 degrees which is absolutely roasting. Was only a quick google search. All I'm looking for is to heat downstairs as well upstairs evenly.
-
Quick google search here and found one (maybe).
-
Is there a way to only have the combi boiler just to solely heat the water in the tap/shower/bath? I'm not really clued up on how this all works.
-
My log burner is upstairs so only heats half and the downstairs is freezing in the winter so yes. How much money are we talking? Yes it is a combi boiler. I have unlimited access to free wood as I am a cutter in forestry so would be grand.
-
Currently have a log burner and I am looking to hook it up to my radiators and still use the central heating if possible for hot water in taps and showers. Any suggestions for doing something like this and suggestions for a new stove would be grand. i will be paying a fully qualified heating engineer to do this and not doing it myself as i dont want to turn my living room into a bomb

I am a hand cutter in forestry. Currently have a 572 for felling. Taken on a bit of firewood work for decent cash and was looking to get a big saw for it, and to use for felling on bigger trees. Looking at the 92 or the 85 and cannot decide at all. Will be mainly used for logging up big hardwood oversize logs that aren't fit for a processor. I've heard good things about both saws which makes it a lot harder to choose...
-
Random bits of this around my garage roof like this... is it something to worry about? Cheers.

you said: If paying for an item on HP then ALL of the interest can be set against the business, but not the capital element of the repayment. Do you mean if I paid say 300 a month for a pick up, only the interest of that 300 would be tax deductable? For example if it was 10 percent interest, would only 30 a month be tax deductible? i will be getting an accountant to do it all for me and clearing it with mine after April is done. Just like to have some sort of knowledge beforehand haha
-
Hey I've been self employed 7 months and have got a few questions I'd like to ask about tax. I've got an accountant to do it officially but wanting to know what I can get away with putting down on my tax deductible expenses. I've a little Kangoo van I bought earlier this year for 4000 which I want to put it down on my tax bill. Also have a MG ZS that I'd like to put down as well as the payments are 200 a month and I use that for getting about in as well as family. (not sure if you can fully put cars down) would be good to know if anyone else does this? if I can't put the cars payments down fully I was looking at getting a pick up next year as a family motor/work motor. And still use my van as well, or is there limits to this? Can I also put my full mobile phone bill down as it is 50 a month for my phone?
-
Aye I do a lot of steep work. I'm buying a 562 here in the next few weeks for general medium tree felling and will have a big bar/full wrap set up on my 572 for the outside edge trees that need jacked over. So normally the stumps a little higher anyway! I've pmed you.
-
It will be mainly for outsiders which normally are jacked anyways.
-
I had it all ready to go the other day and didn't buy it and this was the price. I screenshotted it for some reason and now today it has changed to 140 total. Just don't want to pay 140 and then get further ripped off by custom charges when I pick it up.
-
Just about to buy a full wrap handle for my 572. I've been looking all over eBay for them and can't seem to find one that isn't mental money on postage etc. If anyone has bought one recently, can you tell me how much customs tax you paid? Don't want to get stung. from the UK. Cheers
-
Ah fair play. I was also looking at the SIP 5 ton one for 300 quid delivered. Don't really want to spend a lot of money on one right now as gonna have to buy other stuff.
-
Has anyone used the Titan Splitter 4 Ton? It's from Screwfix at 200 pound. I'm looking for a splitter for the garage.
-
Aye exactly. I was mainly just curious. Tbh I'll split it up when I'm feeling it and burn it all next year around.
