Blimey... A lot of food for though there. Hoping to get a day in the office this week to contact everybody. The crux of the job will come down to the current price of G30 I guess. The whole tree chipping is a side I'd like to develop on our standing sales as its not all that common up here...yet.

Approximately? 4400t on the first job..

I was thinking about Mr. Price - going to give him a call this week.

Hi Guys, I'm trying to find out more information on whole tree chipping - does anybody run a chipper that they would hire out, either operated or non-operated to produce G30/G50 ? Regards Matt

You need something with very wide bogmaster type tracks.. and even then if it's very wet and soft you will still be in trouble. You could try looking for something like an old pisten bully and tow a small trailer with it, or try a tracked dumper.

Thanks guys, That's handy advice.... i'll work out the cubic feet and sell it that way. £20 a cubic foot sounds good to me, better than firewood anyway!! If I get a chance today i'll take some photos of the current slabs.. I dont think they are that special, but the wood certainly has a nice grain and some interesting markings. Thanks again, Matt

Hi Guys, I recently had some Elm milled for a private project, however have recieved a number of enquiries from customers for milled planks of Elm and Oak. Is there any particular way of pricing slabs of wood? The first enquiry is for a slab of Elm, 1500 x 800 x 100 (Mantle Piece????) Is it usual to charge by a unit, like a board foot, or hoppes foot etc, and if so, what's the going rate? Any thoughts welcome Matt

Buy a Forestry Commission Blue Book - everything you need to know to work out everything you need to know is in there, it's a good investment. -
Can anyone tell me where I can go to get a 26k hand out?? That's more than I earn in a year anyway! And I work my ass off and pay tax! It's about time the people of this country grew some balls and told the government that enough is enough - you can't free-ride in a society that is in a recession. There isn't enough spare money to support all these people, and so they should be forced to get of their lazy fat arses and get a job like the rest of us. Those that are ill, incapacitated, disabled or retired can be looked after by the system, but what about all those that are not? I imagine it is a staggering ammount.

I think everyone wants cheap insurance as most folk see it as a means to an end, however, as Dean has stated - beware the pitfalls. We pay a pretty hefty premium for all our operations, and gladly too as it's reassuring to go out in the morning to a job or send a squad out to a job knowing full well that if the inevitable does happen you are fully covered. Having cheap insurance that has loads of small print and terms is not worth having, especially when so many jobs within our industry are varied, and have varied risk factors. Get covered, don't get shafted!

Looks to be next to a public road and footpath, definitely not a straight fell so it;s a dismantle job, traffic control and pedestrian re-route whilst dismantling. It's a built up area which means traffic, people, kids, and plenty of targets. Theres also the nice Beech hedge which the owner wont want damaged so I would be all in at £450, arisings removed.

Steve - as this topic isnt Arb related, shouldn't it be in 'The Lounge' ??? Lets see how many folk can cram into the chat tonight then!!

Terms and conditions…… anyone have them?
Highland Forestry replied to ecotreecare's topic in Business Management
Me too.. I hate doing paperwork and I hate the necessity of it all, but I think with commercial clients it's important to have the T & C's right from the outset or you leave yourself wide open to abuse. With domestic customers, it;s probably not quite so bad as your financial exposure to the customer is probably not likley to be as much as for a commercial client.. for example, most domestics are a day or two days whereas a commercial job could be one or two weeks with all the kit and lads there -

You laugh... but can you show me a good one?

For what it's worth, IMO you should not reduce silver birches.. They grow fast and easy, and of course can be lifted etc, however I would not reduce them, I always favor removal before reduction as they will look crap afterwards, will induce decay and often die as a result.
