We sell 1 metre for £95 or 1.5 cu for £130 If the rest want to tread water thats fine Whats left will get sold next year. I only did about 150 tonne this year compared with 300-500 other years. I still have 50 tonne left. We made the decision a year ago to pack up logs and concentrate on kindling and my other business. I have never posted I am out of logs.

Nothing ventured nothing gained you have more to gain than loose. If you do a day and break even you have learnt to try a different tack. I dont work on trees but moving around making new contacts never hurts as they say sometimes its not what you know but who you know.

I have processed logs for 6 years and never run out but come close. If your logs are well seasoned and you dont have too much competition you can charge a premium price. Around me the average price for a cu metre is £60. Unless they all run out that seems to be the ceiling. 3 years ago we were turning new customers away how times have changed.

plant willow and get some goats.

just over 4kg bone dry 40x50 £4 retail £1.60 wholesale we have nothing to play with.

A few subcontractors have introduced themselves as director and written on their business card. Which I took to mean they were limited. Unless I am mistaken you can only be a director of a limited company. A sole trader is either owner or proprietor ?

Yes and you can pull big trailers away on hills without the fuel system shutting down on emissions.

I have been tucked up by limited companies by £600 for 20 years nearly every year. The last one paid 80k off his personal mortgage and spent over 100k on bmws and servicing. After the receiver took 200k at £197 an hour there was nothing left. I asked why the director was not prosecuted I was to it 180k was not worth going to court for. So in my opinion LTD = do what you like
-
Yes it would annoy me at that time. I would return the call when I came in from a generator callout at 1am . Mind you if you think thats bad try dealing with ebayers.

The Landrover stuff feels on the limit at 3500kg but the Landcruiser feels like you have nothing behind. All genuine uk import amazons are plated and legal for 3500kg. The toyota landcruiser lc3 and 4 and stuff are not real landcruisers and dont pull the weight a lot of people have bought them thinking they were the new amazon. There is a clue in the price lc4 £45,000 Amazon 65k

Halfords had some proffessional van racking :lol:for £250 a go but it did not sell so they reduced it to £50 a bay and it was fairly good may be worth a look in your local store they can look on the screen and see whats about. The racking in my other van is made by bott. Good stuff but cost about 2k proper shelves no useless little compartments. saws and combi cans fit straight on and dont fall off.

I have some paslode gas cartridges in my workshop and they dont fit my mates so your welcome to have a look if they are any good to you. Not sure if they are in date think there might be 3

Its amazing how areas differ. Until 2 years ago we had at least 10 times more demand than we could supply. Now very slow far too many people selling logs in our area. Fully seasoned hardwood still got 150 metres left.

commercial ie navara is fine RR or Landcruiser car

I think under a certain turnover or profit it does not show on line or you can opt out but think it says something like turnover less than 100,000 Another thing is if you have a big fat 4x4 on the business they will kill your tax free allowance so u need a non polluting car.
-
Its worth considering if you have alot of assets like you own your house ( no mortgage ) you earn over 30k a year. Easier to get credit. Large companies like the LTD bit when giving out contracts. You will pay alot more national insurance. The idea seems to be you can put all your eggs in one basket take stupid risks everyone else gets screwed but you if it goes wrong.

I got this body cheap on ebay and it will fit
-
I seem to remember if it ever over heated they would pay for the repairs. I think it was massively over cooled. I have a feeling it was an old merc engine could be the same one in the sangsangyong thing as well. Nice drive does not ring a bell but its a cheap work truck and I am sure it will drive past many range rover sports broke down with ecu problems
-
Yes your right ashcrofts. The first 300tdi discos did not have the cross drilling for months. Thousands of gearboxs failed within a few hundred miles being an export it may have not been picked up. Reading the first post I see its a 1999 so irrelevant.

Mine will be up for sale but need to clear the logs first. 1998 172k new proffessionally built body 2 years ago approx. 5k + vat

Or its the spline problem between the gearbox and the transfer box. They modified it so there was a drilling to allow oil in. The splines wear so bad eventually the shaft is smooth and you loose drive. Symptoms are huge amount of slack when you take up the drive and go onto overrun. The people I would trust to build me a box are turners if you look on their website they have a good diagnostic section.

In to kindling and firelighters next
-
I think maybe bigger enough for whole trees
-
we are interested. tried to send pm but your box is full
