i’ve got fuelwood coming out monday to give it the once over, not worth causing any more damage if there is a problem the guy i was chipping for was very perturbed when i told him i wasn’t chipping anymore hell be even more pissed when he gets the repair bill
-
i’ve been charging £80 an hour wether it’s travelling or chipping. minimum charge of 8hrs i also charge for blades if metal goes through the chipper but also charge if other parts are damaged at the same time, todays client will get the bill for 5 blade holders at £185 each and a set of blades this was what went through today, no idea what it is

After running crane fed chippers and roofmount tractors for the last 4-5 years with 3 different chippers and 3 different tractors i still find myself questioning my rates for this equipment. what do people charge hourly for a crane fed chipper and tractor? obviously combinations of both affect pricing so currently i’m running a heizohack 8-400k behind a valtra t163 with 8m crane. I also bill for 8hrs minimum per day to include travel unless the gear needs to go on a low loader in which case it’s 8hrs minimum plus low loader cost cheers

i’ve got the milwaukee impact gun, grinder and grease gun. very pleased with them, not used any others to compare but i’d certainly buy again

great thread, interested to see how it goes. ive got two paterdale terriers but my next dog will be a working cocker
-
i’m very pleased with mine mark, the boys take the hilux and smaller chipper out over the mog most days for smaller jobs

if you have a use for the kit outside of producing some biomass chip i’d say go for it i have a cone splitter and a heizohack, mainly for my own work and a bit of contract chipping. there’s a biomass place down the road that buys my whole tree, arb and round wood chip. it makes a nice little addition to a day to run a load of chip in if we finish early or if there’s no need for me to be onsite. i wouldn’t base my justification for having the kit on that reason though because at somepoint it’ll all go pop personally i’d get the next size up heizo if i was you

i’ve got a stack of milling timber in my yard that i cut on my bandsaw for jobs around the place the reality of it is, is that a lot of timber isn’t that good so now i only save the decent or exceptional stuff and chip everything else chip pays the bills and allows me to save some stuff for my own use like gate posts etc around home

i think you’ll find that chip wood is £45-£55 a tonne

this is the first breakage i’ve had since i got it a year ago. i’m pretty impressed with it really, it’s done a lot of work the last 3 days on this site

Large, dead ash clearance job. Advice appreciated

i think you’ve over estimated the amount of chip you’ll produce and the final value per cubic metre of the woodchip. it’s not going to be particularly high value chip on account of all the fines from the smaller material. you could be £15 per cubic metre or less in my experience -
website looks good but some of the text doesn’t read that well
-
it doesn’t, just sounds cool ?
-
by all accounts the crane controls are much quicker and smoother which i’m sure will have an affect on chip production in the long run, as well as many benefits for the operator

waiting for my newer t163 2013 valtra to arrive 8m crane and electric joystick controls will replace my 2007 t150 with 7m crane and stick controls

i’m unaware of your school catchment areas, all i did was search rightmove within 5miles of your location as you requested you proved my point regards finding issues with any properties. Any one of those places would be a dream home for someone, irrespective of wether some rooms were a bit small or they had to keep a fire going through the winter ”knowing people” isn’t actually knowing people though is it? i’m sure one of the people you “know” could point you in the direction of some more reasonably priced storage, or maybe they see you as an up yourself out of towner and an opportunity try to squeeze as much out of you as possible as you have no other options

if how you come across on the forum is anything to go by, I would say thats a pretty good basis for that statement

there are several properties on right move under 600K with 4/5 bedrooms and a bit of land, one of them with an AOC Id wager that none would be suitable for your needs, poor design blah blah blah...... The long and short of it, is your pissed that planning doesn't meet your own exacting standards You've moved into an area, made little effort to integrate or engraciate yourself with local people and are feeling hard done by that people don't give you cheap yard rent I live on a smallholding, my yard (which is reasonable rent) is 5 mins drive from my house and I've got the space to bring tractors and trailers home with me when needed. I certainly don't waste much energy on wishing that I had my whole setup at home, and to be honest I would want to put my neighbours through having to live next to a contractors yard

it’s not a member family if that’s what your getting at. I’ve lived in the area my whole life, grown up knowing the same people and drinking in the same pubs. you know, things that happen if you live in a rural community my last yard which was about 1/2 a mile away was about a third of the size and i payed £240 a month

sorry, i don’t understand?
