Yeah i am! I'm probablly using it once a week on average (although next week its out 3 days) Should have got one sooner, fits my buisness, and the way jobs are done here perfectly. Need to make some bolsters for its trailer though

Seem to only be posting logbullet pictures but I guess that’s what I find interesting/fun at the moment whilst it’s new! a good customer rang on Wednesday needing help sharpish with one tree (!) and some regrowth, diggers coming on Monday to build a new paddel court, looked at the job Thursday and due to me messing up car service dates could do it today, had I more time I’d have done just one pile and a bit tidier

Thats cool as hell!

You are bidding for a Husqvarna 371XP portable forestry Winch/Chainsaw Sold as shown. Ref. WWW.BIDSPOTTER.CO.UK Bid Live on Lot 249 in the May Online Auction Direct from UK Government Departments, Ex MoD, Fire &... up at 700 now, reserve not met
-
if the bidding continues, I guess it won’t be cheap any longer? And there’s no way of judging it’s performance from pictures, looking good could suggest low usage on such a machine so possibly on the better end of the scale?
-
You realise it’s an auction?
-
Gut the place, get rid of all clutter, go for a proper minimalist look, no personal artifacts. clean the windows inside and out
-
Thanks, i assumed it'd be 30% of the load. Not really fine morally though, should an accident occur, but i guess thats not the point.

Interested to know how 4550kg is fine?

Earlier in the year i looked at importing a trailer from the uk, to Sweden. Should be the same rules. Accountant advised against collecting myself, as there'd be a high risk of getting stuck in customs, aggro of having, leaving and collecting the correct forms, sending copies of the declaration to the seller etc. Better to leave it to the bigger hauliers who do it all daily. (who hiked their prices up outrageously earlier in the year) Make sure they do the import and custom declarations though. The tarrif you pay depends on the item, (if any tarrif) and as i understand, its no responsibility of the seller. Now the dust has settled, its probabally a good idea to contact a haulier and ask them for advice and costs.

Tidying up some storm/fire damage

Because the powers that be have actually used a bit of common sense and the realized that an electric commercial vehicle with a gvw of 3500kg loaded with batteries will leave sweet FA load capacity rendering the (eco green save the planet make Greta wet) vehicle useless, no one would buy them. Give them the same load capacity as their diesel/petrol variants and it makes them more viable do a relatively simple extra test and bobs yer uncle bit like here (Sweden, not sure about UK) there’s an extended B license test (b96). a quick theory test lifts the combined limit of 3500kg (for a heavier than 750kg trailer) to 4250 Combined

Something bit different, put up some chestnut pailing around our pond. local mothers happy, newts, frogs n toads too. Kids not so

I’m really happy with mine!

Loving combining machines, the Logbullet is an awesome little helper
-
wow! proper sized trees!
-
How highs the back of the van? ive the older version and use a tipping trailer to transport it on. They’re quite front heavy, and can be on its balance point and nose dive if reversing up. Better to drive straight up, grinding wheel first

Thanks @muttley9050 and @Ian Leach Im in Sweden, pretty much every house/shed/barn/garage is made of pine or spruce. Will shrinkage be an issue? (now seen ians reply) With regards to joints, simple and basic will be my limit 😆 When it comes to timber treatment, it'd be traditional slamfärg, a red waterbased paint traditionally using waste minerals from copper mining. Is pine suseptible to warping?

I need/want to build a simple garage and pretty quickly (this summer) I want to build something like in the picture, with the idea of as and when material is available I’ll clad it in waney edge spruce, but that’s stage two and a while away. I’ve a hundred or so pines at home (standing), so this is the material available, can I build with fresh green pine? Id hope that with the good ventilation of the design that black mould would be avoided (which normally appears on firewood here with anything but perfect drying conditions!) or would I be best to send the freshly sawn material to a kiln? at a guess it’d be 12 meters long, 5 wide,Any programs to generate frame design and cutting list? Also a pic of the growth rate of pine here, just for fun
-
I’d be giggling like a little girl “pruning” trees with that nicely done
-
Beech stump and a little surprise the customer didn’t mention, DIY electric supply next to the stump (which cut through one of the main roots too!)
-
That measurement takes the piss a bit! Customer trying it on how did you resolve it? Reprice it before start?

Customers asking to pay cash to avoid VAT.
josharb87 replied to benedmonds's topic in Business Management
I don’t think the OP has a problem with or started the thread of not wanting cash as a means of payment. more a problem with customers wanting to pay cash for effectively a 20% discount, simultaneously expecting you to be fine with breaking the law. as Pete pointed out, there’s normally a paper trail from quotation to pointing to you doing the work. Any repercussions and I’ve no doubt they’d be fine with using your insurance etc ....... for the job that “never existed” -

Living in a near cashless society, where its pretty common for stores not to accept cash, i normally joke it off saying its nigh on impossible to use cash these days, so no thanks most laugh and agree and no ones offended. Theres also Swish - a real time smart phone based money transaction system, to which my response is i dont have it (true) and if i did it'd be a pretty obvious paper trail, so again, sorry, no thanks -
Will sound like a dick, but dont mean too, but thats a lot of skill and effort gone into that topping 👍
