    2m or longer, consistent length, you should sell ok.

    Oooh lovely. Just bugger it up for the next contractor. How many wolfs are going to be left cos they forgot to look up as well as across? And yet many of the land owners like this often assume they're goint to retire on the proceeds! Fit a mog thru a matrix?! Between a 2m row???!!! La-la land...

    £Nothing based on the method described. See above. Thinning should take out both large and small... See Attachments. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink. first thinning.pdf Silviculture_Thinning_Guide_v1_Jan2011.pdf teagasc_thinning_10.pdf THINNINGSPECIFICATION-1.doc

    Contradiction! What "lines" since they don't want any? You'll scar up the remaining trees without racks.
  5. TimberCutterDartmoor
    You mean roundwood for firewood? There's no such thing as "cordwood" :banghead:
  6. TimberCutterDartmoor
    Their will no value in the timber now. :001_rolleyes:
  7. TimberCutterDartmoor
    Walk away from the job then. Owners are bl00dy idiots. 45% is also a load of cock. The remaining 55% will blow. Boils my p155 this.

    If you do it right though you'll work smart not hard. If you're not interested in doing it properly, I'm out. You're saying they don't want racks? Can't be done. Trust me. :banghead:

    Flat: Remove every 7th row; that is your (operating and extraction) rack. Pick your first rack in from the windward side a full 7 rows in if windy; less if not and it mucks up the other end. You need to work all this out first. 29 rows = 4 racks...
  10. TimberCutterDartmoor
    A rack is typically every 7th row removed. Every 5th when sloping, 4th when real steep. Approximately.

    You'll go bankrupt. Unless the landowner is throwing money at you? Crazy. Sorry for the attitude but I'd like to see you make a buck and do the job properly.
  12. TimberCutterDartmoor
    No. Arborists and chainsaw courses consistently Fk up timber jobs. Take it you're not using a harvester then? Are you ready for charity status?! Where is the job? I've got family in Scotland...
  13. TimberCutterDartmoor
    Haha been there done this: a good way to get measuring into your blood sure. Next question: flat or steep site?
  14. TimberCutterDartmoor
    :post: Alarm Bells Ringing! If you don't know what a rack is... God help you.

    Just looked up some old work records: 9.55 acres 1st thin 17 y/o SS 2m matrix inc racks: iro 200m3... From memory iro 10m3 per rack plus only another 1m3 from the matrix. Another: 4.5 acre JL CF average dbh 12", form height 60'. All cut to 3.1 chip: Total, just over 500m3.
  16. TimberCutterDartmoor
    £35 for stakes here. £32 for posts.
  17. TimberCutterDartmoor
    Ever been thinned before? Racks? Motormanual or mechanical? Rough or clean straight stems? There's a market for it whatever the grade. Chip, bars, fencing etc. I think 500t is over optimistic unless the crop is very drawn. I just thinned 6.5 acres of DF only a little smaller dbh and that yielded only 60m3... No racks to cut tho, just the matrix.

    +1...
  19. TimberCutterDartmoor
    Sawlog? Chip? Working backwards that price seems very reasonable for log. Pine log here would be say £35+ roadside, haulage £10-15, plus vat = £60 so above is a good deal. Chip @ £28/t ..... = £51.60. Good quality larch here now fetching (way over what euroF will pay) £60+/metre... Sometimes more... (Roadside)

    Apologies to all the thus far unanswered queries re Redline Oil from various members. Just crazy at the minute... I will get back to you. If it's real urgent can you say so here because my PM box just fills up constantly.
  21. TimberCutterDartmoor
    "insatiable hunger for timber" - bit of a hyperbole I think. Appeared underpowered imo and the chip throw on timber was sloppy.
  22. TimberCutterDartmoor
    Aye, but you know what I meant...

    Snot fir me met; butt fir a met see. Awful vehicles. Famously, diesel bob said "we do not carry out work of Toytoa Surfs" lol http://www.hiluxsurf.co.uk/showthread.php?t=63939 Diesel Bob (UK) Ltd -
