Kiwi6920 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 get tough, use a chainsaw and axe work for your grog... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 We've got an old McConnel sliding bench, had it for years [maybe 30 years old now...?] it's a bit knackered - we lent it to someone and they twisted it... - but it still cuts well enough, just doesn't slide very well anymore... Does take a while to fill a trailer, I've found I'm as quick with the chainsaw as the old man is on the bench... I saw one of those processors working back in the spring, awesome bit of kit but big money, you need to keep it busy so I'm thinking for what you're doing it's probably a bit big of an outlay!!
