Why are people picking faults lol no where has it said he's selling a ton of wood, it says ton bag of wood cause everybody should know what a ton bag looks like right! I guess he's just saying that to give an idea of what people will be getting, as for the bag that will varies I guess depending on species, size of log etc

story goes ive always used huskys and love them but had so much trouble with the 560 id thought id give stihl ago so i bought an ms362 ive used it for 3 weeks and kind of hate it lol:001_tt2: so my question is what do you think i could ask for for a saw thats litterally weeks old and i have the recipt its got an 18inch bar and think i nearly payed £700 for it i know its second hand so i wont get nearly as much as i payed but opinions please?

Noooo! andy what you doing mate! wkd bit of kit, i think thats me in one of the pics

Nice toys that a 901 valmet?

 

I like your 1110. I use to drive a 1110D but with 6 wheels rather than 8. Oh god it was rough on the back. your forwarder guy will thank you for getting the 8 wheel one.

dont you moan alot andy 6 wheel or 8 wheel dosnt matter to me id love what ever lol.

a contractor i did some cutting for had an 1110d there a nice size machine, before it caught fire, apparently they have weak pivet joints though so thats something to watch out for.

i used to do some kayaking for great britian when i was younger, went to denmark belgium france i loved it

dunno if its a bit far but englefield estate who i cut for in mortimer has plenty of timber for sale, 1000 tons laying around, ash, beech, oak, birch, field maple etc.

you might get a good price on 200t

unimog 72 are you johns brother?

i thinned a few larch blocks on an estate i work on near tadley they also might cut to order do you want its details?

Cut it up for firewood, to many big limbs on it

Contractor i work for may be looking for another handcutter, dunno how far you wanna travel but the estates in mortimer, dunno if ud be interested?

Tirrol Fighters probably.

 

I'm still wearing a pair of Oregon Greens! They are almost 12 years old and I would hazard have done 8-9 years use - spin on that posh brands et al!

i agree Pfanner Klima Air Tirol Fighters are tough well from what ive heard but there expensive.

ive got a pair of treemees aqua stops which arnt to bad there really waterproof which is good especially with the weather weve been having and the treemees are relatively cheap £130/140

Just wondering if anybody has any tractor work, ive got my mo1 and done a small amount of work moving timber from roaside but wanna get more experiance on them, i normlly work for a contractor felling all week but could probaly do 1 or 2 days a week if anybody has the work? or if anybody has any info that could help id appreciate it

Im based in reading berkshire but would be willing to travel

p.m me if interested

cheers

Husky 560 or if I was scared of autotune, husky 372

 

If you only had one saw to choose from then anything less powerfull would soon get boring when you needed a bit more go.[/quote

 

I second the 560xp i love it:biggrin:

Husky 372, 390 or 395 imo havnt used many stihls but husky are just as reliable as stihl with alot more grunt, maybe you should have ago with thesse saws first before you buy you might like them

what would you be charging

depends on the quality of the woodland, if your in blocks of beech with no understory where you can cut 15+ tons a day then ud be charging less per ton probaly £7.50 but if your in a coppice sites full of hazel and other crap ud want more.

also depends on how much goes for forwading the wood out probaly £5

Hi forgot to put rates £3.50/ £4.00 per ton. Please call 07772478072 .

how can you give rates without seeing the wood? lol it could be rough stuff, when you say £4 is that for large diametre timber or small stuff? you must be a human harvester to cut for that price

Im in this months journal:biggrin: an article on englefield estate, im doing the first thinnings in the pic, i wish i was in better timber lol the pics not brilliant you cant see my face but owell atleast im in it lol

i supply everything fuel, chains etc ive been doing it nearly 15 month so i guess anywhere from 8 or 9 ton upwoods depending on the site i guess, obviously some sites are terrible and hard to make money in im on £8.50 a ton so just wondering what other prices are

Mostly coppice sites generally flat, sometimes on slopes etc, I'm after the price just for cut not extract, and is 5 pound for larger stuff? I've only really done work for two contractors so trying to get a better idea of price

as the title says just wondering what people get paid per ton for cutting hardwood, small and large diametre?

another contractor on the estate i work for has 360's he has a 20 ton with warratah head, you do find with the bigger machines with the oil flow up they tend to snap small stuff when going through the head thats why hes getting a 14ton machines for first thinnings

Been doing some planting for an estate recently on a day rate and got me thinking what the prices are for planting on a piece rate.

ive been planting hardwoods bare root and from a root cell and these have either been sticked and tubes or cane and spiral

and been planting softwoods from a root cell with no gaurding

just wondering what the rought prices are?

cheers
