Are they spraying them to keep the weight up for selling by the tonne?
-
Raise it up a bit & save your back.
-
Just over 7 miles round trip. Nice walk. We did the Pyg track up & the Miners track down last week. No view from the top as it was in the clouds.
-
Only burn pallets that are marked HT (Heat Treated).
-
But the chipper was on the trailer not was the trailer. As it was a load on a trailer it matters not what it is or is not.
-
It could be that they are using the volume to weight conversion method.
-
Sorry but no you cant. You can convert a 3kva 240v (so 12.5 amps) to 110 v at 27 amps. Or 27amps at 110 to 12.5amps at 240v. Both have the same total power / energy. You cant increase the output power above the input power. Or you could get free power.

The only issue I can see is that you wont be able to shake the bags during filling. You will get 20ish% more in each bag if you shake & fill. They then stay nice & square plus stack neatly. Also when you deliver them (the delivery will shake & settle them) they look full rather than under filled sad sacks.

About another £42.30 per week for holidays 1 x 10.4th to get 5 full weeks paid at same rate inc OT They dont have to pay any sickness above SSP so unless they have sickness pay at normal rate in the contract you cant count it.

Ok so he is your mate so I get why you are doing him a favour but the church has LOADS of money.

Or your Mum & Dad or big brother / sister?

Yes, very sure (apart from the 50% bit, even if it actually works out to that in practice anyway) From HERE So with a car of 1500kg unladen & 2000kg MAM you can have a trailer of 1500kg MAM.
-
Not quite. You could have a trailer & car combo that has a total gross train weight of less than 3500kg as long as the trailer loaded weighs less than 50% of the tow car unloaded. So a car that has a kerb weight of 2000kg (and a gross plated weight of under 2500kg) can tow a trailer with a plated weight of 1000kg all on a post 97 non trailer car licence.

Portable/lightweight/folding bulk bag frame - any suggesions?
Justme replied to Tom at Heartwood's topic in Firewood forum
As has been said, filling them into a static bag results in under filling them by quite a lot (est 25%). We now fill in to the bag whilst its hanging on a round bale handler on a tractor front loader so its just touching the floor. We then shake it at about 75% full & again at 95% till it wont settle any more. The bags are now very solid, square & stable. -
A loss of 3kn when incorrectly loading it does not seem bad at all to me. A full on cross loading rating would be 7-9kn & open gate a similar amount. For it to cope till 21kn is good not bad.
-
Dont forget that you will be paying 20% VAT & if VAT registered you will be selling it at 5%. If your not already you should go VAT registered.
-
What would a blade cost?
-
You can search for unsold items on ebay you know.
-
If you want a real big one after seeing one in action today a Jenz Hem 700 is the dogs danglies. Mind you they are not cheap. Here is a LINK to some pics I took of it in action. It filled an 18.5m3 trailer in less than 6 mins. It used to take 2 of us all day to do the same with a PTO chipper.

Read some threads on here about firewood sales. You will soon see that most on here sell by either m3 or by the load (which is a volume) apart from the chancers that are selling "tonne" bags. I dont know anyone that sells by an accurate weight (IE weigh bridged) at a guaranteed moisture content. Why is weight more scientific than volume? Unless you can guarantee that the moisture content is consistent through the log & full load doing it by weight will not be scientific.
-
When all of you that said no discount for large orders buys in cord wood do you pay the same price when buying 100 tonnes as some one that buys 1 tonne? Some how I doubt it yet it took the same effort for the seller.
-
But its sold by volume.
-
Yes I am. Not that that affects needing a certified or chartered accountant. I dont have to be any more as our turnover is very low. So I am voluntarily registered as we in the main get refunds each quarter as our main sales are VAT exempt, 0% & 5% bands with just my contracting at the full 20%.
-
Not true at all. I have been self employed (as an individual & also as a company employing up to 5 people) for over 15 years & have done all of my accounts myself. Cant remember the exact rules on having to have them done by a certified accountant but I think its for large turnovers, LTD & Corporations.
