No you don't I'll cost you lots of money and break your heart lol
-
Ok do that and I'll get the office to send someone down asap.
-
Sorry that's my fault but it came up on today's posts this am so i didn't even look at the date ...weird...
-
Looks do able to me mate, would just stick the wagon on the road and run up and down with a telehandler loading the chip !
-
Pete you missed off - must be prepared to tab down the butties shop at least twice a day for bacon and brie butties lol
-
Turn on my rear reds that gets them to drop back quickly Or if there is front give them a blast of the front ambers and headlights, makes for some intersting reactions.
-
I wasn't plugging for work mate, just thought you might have been working nearby. 25 trees isn't quite worth it for us lol. Unless the happen to be 10 ton poplars that is !
-
That is what I would do Angus. Stock pile the oversize and hire it off Stevie
-
Such a shame decent cars like that have plummeted in value at the moment.
-
Is it local Charlie I'll pop down and see you we can talk Mogs lol

There is no going rate mate, just work the figures back what will it cost you to extract i.e. how long with the kit you have ? how many man days ? how much do you want to earn out of the job ? Looking at the figures i posted with 1k extraction costs and 2 k profit i wouldn't want to give him much more than 5.00 ton, he may well be expecting 8 - 10. Really you just need to find out what your end user will pay and what the client wants for it and take it from there. I reguarly pay 9.00 ton for chip wood at roadside so firewood is good money.
-
Post 5 reads wrong from me, i ment 10-12 is roughly what it will cost you to stick it there at a very rough guess now knowing the site etc.
-
Why a fool when 30.00 at roadside equates to 40.00 a ton delivered in ? Get haulage rates and deliver it yourself if you want another 4-5 a ton.
-
There you go then, find firm buyers, get it in writing they'll have x amount at x price. Like Stevie said i'd stick it at roadside and get them to arrange haulage. Tell them 30.00 a ton cost to them. You should easily extract it with your kit for 10.00 a ton leaving you 20.00 a ton profit 100 tons worth 3,000 at roadside How much will it cost you to stick it at roadside ? I wouldn't bother if it's only 50 tons, I'd sell it at stump to someone else for that. Have you got to buy the wood ?
-
Ask yourself why it's been felled and left as well mate ! I know sweet chestnut is spitty but i'm sure you'd flog it on. Find a buyer first the guy on here Arborworks I think might be interested as he was talking to me before Chrimbo.
-
A Firewood merchant will give you between 30-40 a ton delivered in at the moment. It's probably worth 10-12 at roadside if you can stick it there for that ?
-
Honey Brother's do them as well.
-
You could do that and indeed i feed the chipper with ours on sometimes. It is far better to see it as a seperate operation thought. Specially when you get a really knarly but stuck on the cracker.
-
Oh it's worth pointing out if you are using it with a forestry tractor you just have quick fit fittings on the grab and pick up the cracker with your timber grab thus giving you the rotating facility.
-
Pressure is the same as on a standard gran or digger bucket. The just have a hoofing great big ram. They operate slower than you think as well. http://www.jenz.de/product-guide.pl?lang=de&product=Woodcracker

I'd heard that lol

Stevie has those ones we have the Jenz ones. A very very good piece of kit, there is a technique to it that involves having the lengths as short as possible and start cracking at one end. On 3m softwood you'll fly through it. Make sure you get it fitted on a rotator as we have our on an excavator fixed to a quick hitch and it's a royal pain in the arse. I have used the biggest Jenz ones on 5' thick 10' long sections of fresh wet poplar and was impressed. A worthy investment for breaking down oversize for chipping or firewood. PM Stevie - Shreks Wee Brother as he has the ones from Alec Price. I'll go dig out some pics for you. Alternativley if it's for one specific job you could hire us in or get a price off Stevie to jump on a ferry
