Its time I bought myself a new chainsaw & this time I want to but a "better" make so that's prob Husky, Stihl & Dolmar. Saddly Stihl is out as our local (thats a 2 hour round trip, so would be out any way) dealer is vastly over priced. For comparison they have the MS 250 15" for £500 plus VAT when Jonesy has them for £313 with a 16" bar & its the same across the range & you cant mail order Stihl's. So my needs are a light saw of about 42-45cc with a 16-18" bar suitable for "farm" & small woodland type felling & firewood ringing up. Pref with a low vib (I guess they all have to have that now?) as I have got used to that on my existing one. So my question to the panel is Which one? Oh & budget is £350 plus vat.

I guess bigger blades also cause more wear to the clutch & give a slower rev response time.

Paypal also do a virtual terminal & an SMS service. So you can take cards via a PC or via a text message system.

How many things can go wrong with one job.

Hope your on day rate -
That was my thought. Plus on reading about the £5-8 per tree for forestry felling it sounds ok to me.

You mean the same trust thats needed for the lorry load weights? Ok big places might use a weigh bridge but I would guess that most use either weight scale on the grab arm or an axle load weight. Not seen any do a print out yet just a hand written ticket (not that I have dealt with many). Measuring the length of the load & the height its filled to (the width would be fixed) will soon give a measurement.
-
Once its on the lorry it would be simple to do a box calc around the trucks load bed & then an allowance for space. Or as the tech already exists for the log to be scanned (as it is at the mill) it could be added to the harvester. Thats why I said I understood that truckers needed to. But again they should really charge a fee for the distance & then x per tonne of weight carried. As long as they are under their legal weight they can charge how they like.
-
I can see why the truckers need to charge by the ton for carriage but the wood should be sold by volume at all points in the chain.

Does it mean 1.98m3 per tonne for the pine? (and the others pro rata)

You will punch through ply on its own. You need to have a thicker stronger beam first to increase the contact area.
-
You would need to check the V at both ends under load & compare the two. With no load there will be minimal resistance so much less v drop.
-
How long had you had it? Can you still get it fixed under warranty? Is the warranty transferable? That said, I would say it would depend on the wording of your advert. If you said it was New then you should be offering some sort of warranty. If you said used then its hard luck.

A cord is about 3.6m3

I saw this & though of you lot. Just spotted THIS ONE

If its £30 to £40 roads side. You then need money to collect it, cut it, load it & deliver it. The splitting is just a small part of the job. I would say just a bit less than the cost of split logs.

Yeh she has some skill to do that live. Perhaps if you had lived through it at the time or are still living with the "fall out" you might think differently?

But did he get the free phone?

I have the samsung B2100 as well. On contract (£10 per month) with orange. Water proof to 1m.

The newest thing on news.sky.com about easyjet is from Nov 09

I would check out the "old mining land" bit very very carefully. You could end up with a bill for a very very large amount if it ever comes out that it needs cleaning up.
-
I would double check that the phone has GPS IE Global Positioning SATELLITE tech in it. Cos when I was looking at phones before xmas they were all sold as having GPS but when questioned was told that none actually had GPS but used the phone masts to work out were you are. Now thats ok in a town or city but round here there is ONE mast so you could be anywhere in a 15 mile radius. Oh & it was a cost upgrade on top of the contract cost to use the system too.

No cos then it would all be gone along with his tools & wheels.

Thats great. How exactly does it stop stuff ending up in my LETTER BOX? Was talking about junk mail not spam. Still seems a very odd way of doing things. I know of no other site or group that does it that way. I have aversions to giving out details to people I have no link to & to opening accounts that I then will never use again or even if I do I will never remember the details by next time. Any way as some one said it will make it easier for others to win.

How much for a level HiLux of well-seasoned hardwood in Mendip?
Justme replied to wanstronian's topic in Firewood forum
But they will pay £3-£4 for 8 to 10 logs in a sack from the petrol station?
