The way i understand it, if a landy for instance is put onto Ag taxation it can be used for the sole purposes of Agricultural operations. Therefore so long as legislation it abided by, such as no private useage, white derv for works on the highway etc, you should end up with a vehicle that is more flexible and a little cheaper to run than one on such as PLG for instance. Anyone know any facts otherwise?

You're lucky you are young enough to remember what you posted:tongue_smilie:
-
The thought is for a landy to be only used for towing a chipper or trailer used for tree work. Would that be a good enough reason Stevie?
-
So, has anyone been able to re-class to Ag? Is there any specifics on the vehicle use, for instance is it possible to get a 110 defender tipper and get it reclassed on the basis it will be towing a chipper?
-
Some good info, but has anyone seen the prices of kit:scared1::scared1:

Ok, why not take Rob up on his offer, get him down mill the good stuff, firewood the rest. Milled its worth more and buyers are easier to find. Im sure you can come to a nice arrangement between you:sneaky2: I really wouldnt go chasing mills to sell as is, if they ring you, thats a different matter but doesnt happen often.
-
40 tons??? Either mill it your self or log it! Years ago, I asked the same question on another forum and a very smart bloke (he used to be called Thors Hammer:sneaky2:) told me the larger mills, if you can get any interest, will want it for beer money, and the shed down the garden type turners will pick over your heap, choose the best log then ask you to deliver it for a fiver. Over the years i have learned how wise he was. Listen to those who have been there:001_tt1:
-
Get the mill at it! Oh, and a new visor for the Balance:sneaky2:
-
Things have moved on a bit then since you used to climb with two lanyards and no rope eh:sneaky2:

Many thanks for that, a great start! That would have taken me half an hour to type that Tom, all good tips:001_cool:

Since getting arrival of my Alaskan, (many thanks go to Dave, Combined Tree Services:001_cool:), just wondering how you guys treat your planks after milling to stop warp and splitting. I have some black walnut that has been cut into 6 to 8 foot logs for about 2 years now, and also have a dead Which Elm to take down in about 3-4 weeks. This has also been dead for almost two seasons, the stem is around 25 foot and approx 24" DBH. Also a couple of live common ash to take out in rear gardens might be viable instead of firewood:sneaky2: So just wondering are there "best thicknesses" to cut, or am I still going to have to stack them for a short while, with spacers like green wood? Not really too interested in making stuff to sell at this point, just perhaps a bench or two and some chairs, and anything else that comes to mind later. Any thoughts welcome. Pete.

Didnt know about that Dave, was there much taken?
-
Just clicked on it again, now £461 so guess i was wrong about reserve of £450! I sent the guy a message asking if the saw was supplied with manufacturers warranty and reciept. I am still awaiting a reply! I saw he has sold a few other new saws VERY cheap, i wonder how?
-
Nice one Nige, didnt know John was into tinterweb! I did have a look into the photo gallery, just to make sure there wasnt a portrait of him. That would have put off a few punters:scared1: On a serious note, i can vouch for John's professional attitude to his sport. He is a very steady guy, who seems interested in anything outdorrs, but when it comes to his stalking "passionate" would be an understatement.
-
Could be asking at the wrong end of the season, certainly should be worth that steve, just think it could be a bit much for me to lay out on a first machine. I think there would be plenty of takers if you did decide to sell it!
-
Sorry Steve, should have said if you sell me your processor at a special price it would be more viable for me:sneaky2:
-
The yard issue doesnt concern me Steve, so i can see your dilemma. My yard is my dads place so, what you are saying is it could be more viable for me to buy in and process than you?
-
I can see that point Steve, but think its still worth processing surgery waste for now as its not bought in. Extra work i guess but zero cost. As for processing cord to sell, different matter unless you are in such a large way it makes it pay. This size scale would take a lot of doing along side running a tree surgery business. Just my ten anyway. Pete.

Found this on t-bay, see what you guys think. Finishes tonight, i think the reserve will be around £450:scared1: STIHL MS441 CHAINSAW (NEW) on eBay (end time 01-Aug-09 23:26:12 BST)
-
My experience so far has shown me in extreme conditions such as milling, the pre-filter and insert(HD) would be best. BUT, the pre-filter sock is essential on every day use for these saws. The amout of extra crud that it catches above the standard filter is scary! No excuses now if you score a bore, you have been warned:001_tt1:
-
Yeh, just curious Jonny. Main reason i ask is, most log sellers sold out last year (i sold out by xmas!) so anyone starting splitting at this time of the year might struggle to have it seasoned for the coming season. I am in the same situation:blushing:
-
Around here that doesnt seem to happen though. Most of the public sees a landscaper advertising "tree work" and they think its part of thier work but if general public saw Tree surgeon offering "gravelling" he would be seen as a cowboy!
-
You sell unseasoned jonny?
-
I think Peter must be going through a mid-life crisis. He used to have avatars like a daft looking black lab with a hat on, a shadow of him up a tree, even his big grab truck with a load of logs. This has turned into nude gay models and very friendly ladies- whatever next:sneaky2: Did have me worried for a while, but going on the last one you must still be on the right side of the fence:001_cool:

Give these guys a ring Dean, tell him youve got one of his trailers second hand and need a floor for it. Worth a try; Graham Edwards for Livestock, Agricultural and Commercial Trailers - box trailers, flatbed and covered trailers
