So my overheads and insurance etc are cheaper because I'm using a log splitter are they? My outgoings don't alter just because I take a smaller machine, well apart from the fuel. They can take it or leave it, I ain't a mug, after 13 years in this game you learn a lot and one thing is don't be too cheap!

Yeah its a bit of a funny one as buying in seasoned split firewood and me taking away their tree wood would mean cheaper, ready to burn firewood for them. Maybe if I could split 4cm3 a day it would start to make financial sense for them... but yeah I take onboard that I still have to make a living plus bit of profit and maintenance fuel repair costs so thinking around the £200 mark?
