    what did you feel would be the problems. May be able to answer already.

    So what would you list as common sense rules to apply. Maybe a list would stop people getting ill and less likely to bring it to the attention of the clip board brigade. 1. ensure you work up wind of the chipper 2. empty the tipper that day. 3 wear a mask if its dusty or you are turning over a heap. 4. If you feel ill always wear a mask go to the doc if you feel ill.

    You can charge what you like your self employed. The idea is to have some profit left to live on, not supply rich stock brockers and bankers with cheap fuel. Small logs = more work, more fuel, more saw dust, and more in the bag as it fills the gaps they know this thats why they ask for it.

    Just bought a green mech ecocombi 150 . Not had a chance to use it properly with birds nesting but in the autumn it will have its work cut out. The bits I have tried its superb has chipper and shredder in one machine. We have alot more bush than timber so went or this machine about 10 years old 4k

    The spores must be active most at a certain stage. Otherwise people would be dropping like flies as the walk through woodlands ect. These big recycling centres must be on top of these problems and have systems in place to deal with it. The other thing to watch out for around grains stores and water is weals disease very similar symptoms.

    ring them to 6 in and drop them off with a free silverline hand axe. Granny logs are a pita.

    This is not something I would consider normally. I am well versed in asbestos but a harmless natural organic material like chip ? . I have just bought a large 35hp chipper shredder for use around my garden so appreciate the heads up maybe this should be a sticky.

    I dont think there is much wrong with the price I think its the way you put it on paper.Out of your £500 I bet there was £100 on fuel wear and tear. When you get back to the yard you have to unload and clean up so not much else will get done that day except log a few of those rings.

    Have you tried an air mass meter if you have fitted a new one get it checked to see if its working.

    Sometimes you achieve more doing what you fancy doing rather than what you should be doing. If I get too much work booked in I dont have time to earn proper money

    3 cu metres to be legal 5 cube will give about 2.5 tonnes on a wet day.

    Young but dont let them out your sight

    I thought the d22 came out on a 52 plate and was called the navarra ? but I am probably wrong I bought a new one in 2002.

    From the catalogue it did not look like there was much there. Was there any sawn softwood.

    What ever job you do with experience you get a nose for how to do it best. You get this talent for creating a proffessional result. I am sure Vosa are no different they can spot an overloaded knackered transit double cab from 2 miles away.

    Hi Tom Thanks for the offer from the comments above I think pop will be fine. Its just a case of making sure the local stuff works then getting 18 tonnes on a regular basis.

    Fish and guests go off after 3 days ( one of my mothers ) And first place I heard this one was log man nr Ludgershall about doing logs 'doing the unprofitable for the ungrateful '

    I have put wire mesh panels all round which are strong enough to pile wood against. You can push up to about 4ft with the bob cat when unloading but 31/2 ft is a mistake as I found by mistake:blushing: we dry logs in 1.5 cu metre bags and tip in tunnel to refill every few weeks during the winter so no need to go to the back until we have have a clean up in the spring. We stop doing logs so now have the woodmizer at the back and repair our vehicles at the front. Fantastic place to work all year breaks the wind in winter and bone dry, unlike tin sheds which sweat. In the summer nice and cool and shaded. I cant remember the supplier but they definately came from sussex and were called poly build or something mega helpful when we built it.

    Why cant he ask what the going rate is. If he underprices it he could get one of your jobs he is struggling and you are out of work. I could do it cheaper than alot of people I have paid my mortgage and have several means of income does that make it right.

    Hi Ed and Jim could I come out and grab a trailer full and pay you for it. A good mixed bag big ones small ones knot free and knotty. That way when we get a big load know what we are dealing with. We have a full order book. I was asked a few months ago was asked for 650,000 bags but wife was not keen to make them

    Nick have you got one of the new fuelwood 3 ph kindling machines. I think big rings are good as less bark but need to cut them accurately to 6in for our kindlet triangles work better than rounds as they dont shuffle up and down the conveyor.
  24. gensetsteve
    Its alright Dave my glass is completely full again, yard much tidier and my back does not hurt. Where is Dave Martin gone anyway see he not been on for months not broke his glass has he.
  25. gensetsteve
    If it goes through kindling machine without jamming or breaking up and looks good in the net thats 90% of it. The only thing left is does it burn and start the fire, needs to light easily and last long enough to get going. Once I have found a stick to try I may be interested in getting some pop of you in future only problem is no access for arctic and now no processor as we have given up logs.
