About £1.72 + vat last year from Mca Kingstone nr winchester also on ebay
-
Stuff like this must be prime candidate for a massive chipper and out as biomass for power station or is it worth a lot less than £1700 that way ?
-
By that time we would have decided its not worth the bother and bought elsewhere. Its a pile of cheap softwood you agree a price.
-
We dont use pallets alot are treated and most are dirty full of nails and make horrible kindling. You are too far away as for how much I would pay for the timber it all depends on how it kindled but if I was collecting it would be £15 a tonne max. If you click on the lower link you will get a slide show of what we do.

Tippers can be difficult to insure as it is. Nfu will not insure full stop unless the conversion was done proffessionally and has a serial no. I found alot of the others will not even quote for it.

collecting it too far away transport will kill the value of it. The reason I ask about knots is too many and its a pain to get through a kindling machine. If you click on the banner below my post it will take you to our directory listing and our gallery may answer some questions on how to kindle it.

You will have to keep us updated. They look a nice truck very similar looking from the front as the new Amazon. Is it alot better than the old mk 6.
-
Yes it was following a defender when its wheels fell off
-
Where abouts are they. do they have alot of knots
-
I have a brand new refurb turbo if you know someone who needs it cost £750 want £250 to clear it.
-
The public dont know what they are buying. If you cut a load of ash into logs and took the truck round to him and charged £120 he would probably call trading standards because he thinks your ripping him off. They also seem to think a heaped truck load of rings is going to volume up by three times when cut into logs.

3 1/2 legally if your brave enough
-
had a tractor loader for 7 years never used it once bobcat 751 fast and rarely gets stuck even with 750kg on the front. Depends on size of load for pallets and cordwood a telehandler or tractor loader is a bit cumbersome.

I hate the whole money for medals culture that has been created by a redundant unskilled army of pen pushers.
-
£150 an hour cant get out of bed for that they are under selling themselves install generators for 2 weeks 50 weeks making kindling
-
Starting at 4.99 does not cost alot or even 14.99 . If you want £300 for it start on a free listing weekend and start at £300 no reserve fee. I dont think you can set a reserve below £50 so if you have a reserve people will know it starts at more than £50
-
Supply and demand if there are not enough cutters you can charge a premium for your services. You dont find many plumbers earning less than £500 a day inc expenses why is it any different for hand cutters. Both have skills, and expenses.
-
If its what I am thinking its like you twist them inside out. Put a pair of gloves on and watch your face especially your nose the manual says not to use two people when you do it.
-
Somebody go and fell it on his house and then tell him he can keep the logs. The public think their trees are worth a fortune when they come to buy quality seasoned logs they want them for pennies. The really arrogant ones buy a cheap saw go red in the face and give up after an hour.
-
Its even got side shift on it. If it died I would get an old out front rotary mower about 25hp and mount a forklift carriage on the front a bulk bag of logs weighs less than 1/2 tonne and you can move them about. If you make a stand all the bags have handles at different heights. With a forklift you can set the bag up just right so you get a nice flat bottom for stacking and you can settle the bag near the end. If you fill the bags suspended in the air you get a round bottom on them. -
I know, I was being naughty the op seem to be saying no body else knows what they are doing. Good news on the slew ring. I have actually sold the trailer and crane I replaced yours with along with all the log kit. Man of leisure now I wish 1000's of bags of kindling to make before next winter and dozens of big gensets to service and install.
-
Yeah its not rocket science you cut it at the bottom it falls over. You dont need to go to uni for four years to learn the trade.

I down load my brain to an organising package on my pc. I am now fully booked for at least 18 months on my generator side and 6 months on the kindling. With the amount of things I have to remember at the moment I would never sleep a wink again but I sleep like a log. I have used a package called time and chaos for 20 years. Its free to down load and is now called chaos free. I dont use the diary part just the white and yellow pages and off course the to do list. I could write it down on a piece of paper but putting it on the pc its on their for good even when deleted it can still be recovered. The list can be printed off and taken out in the van. Its in order of priority and you can change it if required. If the list gets wet or lost just print another. If I did not have another use for a pc I would still have one just to run this package:thumbup1:

Brinkman bri truck £800 but cost me about another £600 in parts and labour to get it working. After it had been through the workshop and had a wash and a new seat it looked massively better. Its had about 2 years hard use and the head gasket has gone on the Kubota engine we will spend the money as its such a useful economical little truck. Ok on dirt in the summer but mud in the winter forget it.

It would break down all the time the heater would be crap and the doors would not shut properly. If you must have an impractical vehicle with rock hard pram springs on the back Toyota make a proper one.
