Guess i would fit in well with LA then! I recall someone telling me environmental health states you should not run power tools between 9 am and 6pm weekdays and 9am till 1 pm saturdays, and never on sundays! Sounds good to me:001_smile:

So, as a cheaper option, does the veg oil run any quicker? Just thinking for my 660 when its running a 36" bar- could do with a bit more oil! On the other hand, if it runs quicker, the price could be equaled out by a higher useage......
-
Might be a basic comment and i dont want to insult, but you arent overfilling the oil tank are you? I have noticed if (oil tank especially) you fill to the lip of the opening, the cap can "hydraulic" and not go all the way down, then you can still turn the cap but its not locked. Just a thought, Pete.

Sounds like its got to you Andy, dont let it! A similar thing is happening at the moment with a very well known arb company near us, and the competition. Some of the competition has ridiculed this set up for a while now since hitting quieter times, the trouble is, now the same is now happening to them.........motto there i guess:blushing:

I wouldnt like to slag husky too much myself, but i would still put my 192t infront of that thing, never mind a 200:001_tt1:

I would say i know of around 5 good climbers around here who would sub (and lots of crap ones:001_tongue:), but i would say you would struggle to get any of them for that price.

Unless a relatively local rival starts advertising in your local village mag with a good price:sneaky2:

Just for curiosity’s sake, why would it be a different job?

I think the point of dean being right to walk or not, boils down to one thing; the state of the site when priced. If the site was clear on pricing day thats how i would expect it, and if its a mess there is obviously a discussion about it being cleared prior to works. Therefore; spot on dean!
-
Now, i`d love to see the result when you try it:laugh:
-
Was a bit of a guess Dean, but im affraid thats what i need to make it worth while!

At the end of the day it comes down to overall fuel price rises. It must therefore affect firewood prices due to the fuel used to process. Although i did have a customer the other day say "Oh, i bet you guys are all jumping on the band wagon, now utility bills and the price of coal are going through the roof"!

Cheers for that guys, looks like £30+/ton is the norm then for nice stuff. I have started this season selling bulk bags at £60 delivered or £3/ small bag(all well seasoned hardwood). Seems around the norm around us, but it looks like i will have more market than i can produce logs for, just from tree surgery timber. Hence the query. So roughly how many cube are you guys getting per ton of timber?
-
One for you guys in the know, recently the timber market has gone crazy, but what sort of money is cordwood delivered for processing at the moment? Purely out of curiosity:sneaky2:
-
Found this, looks like cheap set up if you already have a splitter; [ame= ] [/ame]

Looked like a healthy tree Iain, what was reason for takedown?
-
Yeh, they always want something different to what you`ve got though, a bit more, dont want all of it, a bit bigger, a bit smaller, a bit longer, will want it delivering for nowt or will pick it up when passing but never seem to do, etc, etc. Log the lot in my opinion!

Payment on completion or send an invoice?
18 stoner replied to Big 'Ammer's topic in Business Management
Usually get payment before i leave the site, but if the customer isnt in they are usually trusting sorts and therefore can be trusted to send them an invoice. -
That was option No.1 but i had a moment of rational thinking so trying the legal approach first:sneaky2: In a few weeks if i still aint got my money, i`ll give you the adress, will be a free tip in Brough!
-
Never mind the folk law, just think of the lovely firewood:thumbup1:

Think there is three, Lynton "Brownie" Brown, Hull City footballer(sound bloke). Second is Princess Ann, but im not passing comment on her personality. Finally a famous actor, who i cannot name at the moment. This is a clue as to why; http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=3523

I still have a black/red/white arbormaster, quite old now but been a damn good rope, cant fault it other than i shortened it once- took about 20 foot and the eye off:blushing: At the time the lad working with me said serves me right for buying a camoflage rope, thing was he managed to cut several much brighter coloured ones himself:001_tongue:
-
Cheers so far, i actually put payment within 14 days as i know they are unlikely to pay. But what you are saying Ed is when they are a month late, i can apply the interest anyway, or do i need to give notice of the charges? Sorry for the questions, its all very new to me, i am not used to this type of customer!

Dont know if you class this as a graft but ive never seen this before;
