    I sold over 400 ton of laurel as firewood 2 winters ago; was nervous due to all the cyanide horror stories; they are just that. Yes there is some but 90% evaporated during seasoning. Dry laurel is excellent firewood so I found out.

    So you can't claim the vat back on that beech . I would make a loss at the price you mentioned selling at the going rate here which is admittedly the lowest around it seems; £70m3.
  6. TimberCutterDartmoor
    I find it hard to believe this tbh. I recently bought some processor birch and holm oak for under £20/ton standing...

    Roundwood extraction imo should be on volume / tonnage rate and that's that. How you do it; with a wheelbarrow or helicopter is irrelevant except where ground conditions dictate.
  8. TimberCutterDartmoor
    are you vat reg?

    Slowest year ever; warmth...

    Like this?

    £93.33 £62.50 Quite, what's the vol to calculate m3 £...???
  12. TimberCutterDartmoor
    Get your calculators out!!! The OP question is buggered up unless you do it strictly per m3 irrespective of what volume you happen to be sellling / load. Answer: £70.
  13. TimberCutterDartmoor
    If that's ex Vat that's hellish high; or atleast it is in this region; £55 tops.

    Perkins 1306-8ti vs Cummins 6BTA 5.9 thanks

    Sorry, the hankooks are better; enough bite to put the transmision under stress whereas the kumho would spin much sooner. Wet grass less in it but deep mud the hankooks are hardcore Kumho mileage very respectable; hankkok tba but looking equal. Not too noisy either.

    Normal again as usual

    I had the yellow weblift sold by the 4x4 folks. £150. Nowt wrong with the winch but the cable should be binned; it has major issues with twist and in my case eventually fouled up the inner cable pull mechanism trashing the winch.

    IMO the 7310 is a bit pointless when the 7910 gives your more firepower for the same weight...

    I had an immaculate 133 which like all my old saws, I regret selling. Yer, coils are an issue but it's 6 of one and half a dozen of the other if they go or not.
  20. TimberCutterDartmoor
    Brilliant; just keep the carb compensator clean (attend to the a/f regularly)
  21. TimberCutterDartmoor
    Yeah had the Kumhos as well mate; no comparison to the hankooks off road but did wear well despite being awful on damp/wet tarmac - underwear soiling bad they were. Victor Barry got mine but Ashburton Tyres very cheap; just under £450 for 4 fitted inc I think. I think camskill do them online. Hankook Tyres / SUV 4x4 / Hankook RT03 Dynapro MT Hankook RT 03 - SUV Tyres - 4x4 Tyres - All Terrain Tyres - Off Road Tyres - 16" R16" - 225/75/16, 225/75R16 but that's the 225s, wide enough on an L200, could go 1 or possibly even 2 wider to 245 but cutting ability reduced and more wear... Hankook Tyres / SUV 4x4 / Hankook RT03 Dynapro MT Hankook RT 03 - SUV Tyres - 4x4 Tyres - All Terrain Tyres - Off Road Tyres - 16"

    No it's not sorry. Blue book (FC mensuration handbook) which is accepted norm is 0.7 for softwood and 0.55 for hardwood. A softwood stack occupying 100m3 will thus be 70m3 in timber allowing for air gap. Unless the timber is proper bananas the 0.7 is applied. Wiggly hardwood obviously = the 0.55. It has been known to sell hardwood on 0.55 and beautiful straight ash and sycamore turns up - that works very nicley in your favour.
  23. TimberCutterDartmoor
    Exactly the same experience; they felt a bit friday afternoon tbh. Now have Hankook Dynapro MT (RT03); miles better, best tyres I've ever tried, dare I say it prefer them to bfgmt too.
  24. TimberCutterDartmoor
    Second that although rapeseed is the best of the veg oils - usually sold as "vegetable oil" funnily enough. From a garage just selling mineral lube oils, the thickest you can get I'd say; it thins down in the hot crankcase tank anyway and will resist fling better than thinner oils; so that's 15W50 rather than 0W30.

    No TP mentioned in this thread?!
