18 stoner

Bit of a difference in calorific value though. Ash is a good hardwood grade, yet alder is more equal to softwood. Just to complicate things:lol:

Ill let you know if any come available, he was on about bringing 10 back from his nxt trip! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App I could be interested if he manages it. You will love that little saw. Get it modded and it'll run along side a 200. If you want to know how to do the can mod, I can run you through it:thumbup: .

The steel dogs off a 200 screw straight on. 😎

Yeh, I get what you're saying I've got all those listed above. However, my 192t (one of the first ever built) started running into problems, I bought a 150t. The 150 sure is a useful thing and we use it regularly. The problem I have with it though is for the little difference in price, and the hardly noticeable weight difference, the power difference is massive. So much so, I've been waiting on a new carb for three months now for the 192. Once it comes and the saw is resurrected, the 150 will be for sale. Quite jealous you've managed to find a new one in this country. 😎

Where did you manage to buy it? Absolutely epic saw by the way, far, far superior to the 150 IMO.

Nice one. Not many can carry like that leagally:thumbup1:

Very nice looking truck. But, what will it carry legally?

I think there's 3 lengths available. I've got a spare medium one if its any good to you. Will need to measure it first though if you like.

Pm me with a number. I may have some SE for you.

As soon as they've earned me my days money, they've earned theirs so can go home. Regardless of the time.

Sorry, I missed the unlimited refills on Colombian filter coffee😎

It's too early for April fools Russell, so I'll put them out of their misery; 17meter Stunt fell, 11" chipper, 10 cube of chip, forklift load 6 ton of log. 3 men, 6 hours, in the pub before 3, 950 quid in the pocket. 12 pints later take piss out of arbtalkers 😎😘 .

Well it sure grew a lot since I priced it a couple of months back. 😍

I'd say he's been lucky it wasn't closed and get told to put it up in classifieds, but as it happens I'd hope some constructive comments have come out of the thread I've participated and read through this whole thread, and I don't recollect any negative, offensive or derogatory comments..... Until yours. Ironic really.

Yeh, I can see your points there bigj. One thing I meant to comment on earlier though, and I think you highlighted and reminded me of is volume. While a log or two like this, to a guy such as yourself is a big issue, needs nurturing and has a specific market for a discerning customer, for a log man, it's simply a couple of tons of logs, to be mixed with the rest of the hardwood heap. One log of many, and the buyer is likely to buy in 20 tons at a time, churning out the 100 quid a cube premium firewood bag without a second thought once it's left the yard. As a result, although the log man makes less out of this log, it's within a greater turnover, and with the rest of the "load" it's processed with, will return possibly a greater profit. Just thoughts.

Mmmmm. On the other hand I could probably turn that into about £300 worth of logs with a couple of hours work. Not having a go Jonathan, quite the opposite. The way I see it the market is all about supply and demand, and there's too much timber like this around to supply what is, in my experience, a limited market. The firewood market however is raging. Turning a quick buck from logs seems to be "easy" these days, wether it be due to lack of skill needed, through to the ease of anyone being able to have a go, timber of any sort will always slip into the log bag. One thing I do feel also is the actual price for mill able stuff is too low in fact. This is why so much ends up on the firewood heap. The usual "issues" associated with selling premium stuff to wood turners and craftsmen make it not worth the hassle for the relatively little extra than simply logging it. I don't mean to give offence, just the way I see it from our end these days. Perhaps if firewood demand drops, or the price of mill able stuff increases, I doubt I'll be bothering in the future. Possibly depressing for some, but true.

Not with you bud. Why ballsey?

I knew you'd bite. Eventually😉😄

Back cut's a bit low at the power head end😜😍😍😍

Ok time to step up I guess. Had this storm damaged Leylandii to sort this week. It shed a huge lump last week just missing the guys house. Two large stems still standing but flapping in the wind. I strapped them together and today we dismantled one stem then felled this one. Only about 65 foot this bit.

Just burn it. Much less hassle and probably more money in it.

Regardless if you pay him or not, he will be "working for you". Imagine anyone doing voluntary work, they need to be covered. The insurance co need to know. If you already have your liabilities in place, it's not likely to cost much to add him to the cover. I'd call the insurance and add him. Give him a chance, and if he's any good, pay him. Simples.

I bet they're going to be chuffed to find out it's costing less now as it took less time.

Mmmm, was thinking that too Rob. The US will not tolerate those type of emissions these days.
