Pretty poor show

Yep! Standard rim is 7 'teeth' but you can put on a 7-8 rim that'll give more chain speed but less torque.
-
I I don't agree with the above. I find the arbtalk forum to be very fair in the way it is moderated and run. Nobody gets special favours. If you have any examples of the above then have you brought these examples to the moderators attention? If you're going to make points like this you need some form of evidence and examples to back it up.

Hi there,
Yes I have them they are £65-00 + vat and postage (£7+vat).
Are they so you can use a double ended bar with one powerhead? The vibration you get through them is pretty big so I don't tend to advise having someone hanging on the end of one directly,
Regards, Rob

Cracking What was the tape measure for - guessing it was to ensure the crane not overloaded....

Honestly it's oak! Willing to bet on it as well if you've some odds Coffee table would be good and easy to make!

I'd be asking around £30-00 a cube if someone was going to have a few planks andy... but that's just me!

How about just advertising in the paper with free delivery? Sell for 50p cheaper than the shops are selling it for. It seems with the amount you're selling you could go straight to the public = better prices, payment on delivery. Of course it'll use fuel and time... but a good way of getting out and about and I still think you'd make more cash this way. The trouble as has been said with larger chains of stores is they will want very low prices and can take up to 2 months to pay you. When you're producing 3 to 4 thousand nets a season that's the time to get into the stores.

Undo your chin strap? I have never met anyone who changes their helmet to drag and chip brash... I doubt they exist.

Anyone got an 088 pullcord cover and a 36 or bigger bar?
Rob D replied to mikecotterill's topic in Chainsaws
I have a second hand pull cord for the 880 if that's the same? A 36" Cannon bar with 3/8" nose sprocket - well used but still life in it. A 50" GB bar with a few solid days use but there is a hairline crack through one of the oiler holes.... doesn't look as if it would affect performance but it's there. £120-00 for all 3 including vat and postage. PM me if you're interested -
Ah.... ok I see what you mean. In that case I have no idea! But looking at how the large manufacturers operate whatever reasons they give will likely as not have nothing to do with the real reasons..
-
You've answered your own question here - because the exchange rate was 3:1! If you had a look at the comparison now the exchange rate is 2:1 the costs of a saw will be almost the same.

Removing the wooden section from a hi-lift wedge?
Rob D replied to andy_mac's topic in Maintenance help
Never thought about doing that -
Removing the wooden section from a hi-lift wedge?
Rob D replied to andy_mac's topic in Maintenance help
Really? I've been doing it with mine for several years when the wood has split and never had a problem afterwards... Why would it weaken them? -
They may not look robust but the ones I have are! The only damage to some are where I've clumsily put the forks through them! A few have been tipped 4 to 5 times still look fine. They're fully uv proofed..

It It was from here I think! Bulk Vented Log Bags & Net Bags from Bag Supplies (fibc) Ltd, Dundee, Scotland £5.30 + vat if you have a good load.

Removing the wooden section from a hi-lift wedge?
Rob D replied to andy_mac's topic in Maintenance help
Or put in the log burner over night and in the morning the wood inside the wedge will be gone... Don't be tempted to put the ring part in though as this will melt -
I did this with my bulk bags a few years ago. Still not as good as the fully vented/mesh bags IMO. I bought 300 vented/mesh sided bags, swallowed hard at paying out £1500... ... and have never looked back since. Easy to handle, reusable, easy to deliver in bags or loose (using a small jib crane), looks good for the customers as you can explain how the bags are very expensive because they are designed to dry logs in.
-
Agree with the first post entirely. My prices have gone up, each year my production goes up 25-30%. Mild winter or not it still gets cold (and I'm almost as far south as you can get). I don't know anyone near me who had genuine dry logs to sell in March. I've always sold out just after Christmas. I want to get to Feb this season. Customers are better educated? Slightly maybe but on the whole I'd say not or they would plan ahead and season their own wood. December will always be a busy month for log sales as people like to get organised for Christmas.

If it's monster it's worth giving MaverickGR (or simialar!) on here a shout as he seems to be after monster planks...
-
I bet there are some gems of planks hidden amongst that lot! Well done for posting
-
Well done. After reading the various posts on this thread I will do this as my modus operandii (whatever it is!) in any similar situations encountered this year.

No worrys. The Lucas mill sounds good although machinery that's stood for a long time can often be more trouble than it's worth...
-
Don't look at it as getting in a row..... more a healthy heart felt debate! All part of the fun of the forum!

I get about 2 of these a day mainly because my e-mail address is on the website. There's a website 419 Eater - The largest scambaiting community on the planet! It's called scam baiting.... you lead the scammer on in order to waste their time... Not sure if it's a good idea or not really when you can just hit the delete button....
