    looking for a change of processor, had a japa and a hakki, so wondered what your thoughts were on other models. i do arb waste, and the nice straight pricey stuff too i also have a 30ton posch too, so even considering getting a saw bench, the only problem i see with that is where to get the blade sharpened/repaired, as our local ones have closed down cos the sawmills have gone. opinions are welcome and encouraged from the dealers on here too

    Unfortunately you guess wrong :-( And all the coal is underground and staying there!!!

    Well when the beer money boys decide demand has forced them to buy in the wood, and realise its not as easy as they once thought, you'll see an increase in their price. Quality!!! Buy cheap, buy twice!!!! I put a lot of work and effort into creating a good product for the customer, so I'm not prepared to give it away!!!

    not really true, why would the cost be any cheaper just because its wales??? are those the going rates rates for your area, or you undercutting everyone??? it all depends on the area, and city prices compared to rural prices and the overheads, not forgetting haulage. Five miles to you will be cheaper than 50 miles to me. So if you cant get it cheap, you cant sell it cheap!!

    luftwaffe, the way i see this is as follows, we all have different personal priorities, you asked the question, but dont like the answers if they are not financially profitable!!

    i believe he invested it in his children, showing them the world and giving them am insight into thier future choices. have to say, not a bad one either i'd doo the same if i was comfortable, but prob hold out for property to start climbing, then buy and sell like in the 90s

    I'm sure when I did my hgv test all unmarked bridges are 16feet 6inches high or more. And from working with bt on street trees I thought all overhead cables had to be 5.5 meters at the lowest point (sag). I might be wrong though!!

    Try lee@ G. M. Insurance, 01392 426799. I had the same problem with skidsteer and lee sorted me out at half the price of Nfu. It's actually insured with Jcb insurance !!

    Ha ha, where did you find a small man and dog ???��
  21. firewoodman
    yes we are!!!
  22. firewoodman
    He's in Caerphilly !!!

    i think thats the way to do it, anything outside of 7-8 miles i charge £1 per mile to cover the fuel and time. besides, anything i have delivered always comes with a charge, so why shouldnt I !!!
  24. firewoodman
    I've worked out it costs me £0.225 per mile just in fuel, so 40 mile round trip looses me £9.00. The time taken can loose me at least a cubic meter in productivity, so a min of £60 + fuel+ labour Hmm I can stay at home and loose money easier!!!
  25. firewoodman
    And what do you class as your local area??? How much do you think is lost on free deliveries and productivity on any delivery over 10 miles?? ( that's a 20 mile round trip and approx £5 fuel)
