No you are all wrong Look in your handbook will tell you. If you are old like me you can tow what you like up to gross 8.2 tonnes. If your young you cant.

keep it simple as we all know too much paperwork is a pita. check tyre pressures, oil level, coolant level, washer bottle level weekly or 400 miles which ever comes first. Make it more complicated or long winded and it will get over looked.

The thing that annoys me is that even with pictures of overloaded vehicles. I bet very few have accidents compared with speeding chavs and women texting on the school run. Overloaded vehicles tend to get driven very smoothly normally with finger nails sunk in the steering wheel and ass cheeks gripping the seat.

I tried burning in the past always seems to burn out in the middle. Whats the trick with green bushy stuff. I also seem to do a bit here and there as kit gets moved out.

I have an acre of ground around my house bordered by hedges of mixed rose hips hawthorn elder etc. Also a few hundred feet of conifers. I used to get a farm hedge flail in but now its too congested also the clean up took along time. I was thinking of a hydraulic feed 5in chipper for £2000 max. With my own chipper and a sturdy stihl hedge trimmer I am in control of how much comes off as well. What would you recommend? Thanks for your thoughts.

You communicate with people with similar interests in the warm where you can have a fag and the beer is 70p a pint and there is no violence ( well not much ) -
I joined 4 years ago still have not found the generator section

How many logs have you sold since September?
gensetsteve replied to richardwale's topic in Firewood forum
It could be an option. I have about 4 cu of beech 4" sticks cut about a year ago ideal for stuffing into nets no sharp edges. -
Good luck in the future onwards and upwards. I am knocking logs on the head but I am not leaving arbtalk your stuck with me

Looks a useful tool. Better than the usual arm ache followed by kicking the saw round the yard followed by lots of swearing.

Thats strange because all winter its been dead. I normally do 10 loads a week but last two years about 2 a week. Then last week 15 loads Luckily only about 20 more loads then I am finished for good. Just kindling and generators from then on. -
will it not go on over size pallet. I have some nearly 2 metres long they just charge you a bit more.

I have had a 751 bobcat for 13 years. Brilliant versatile bit of kit. A jcb robot may be better for the log job because you can get in and out easier. The only down side is the mess a skid steer makes if you are working on mud.

Before you start eliminating micro traces of food elements and poping pills I would try not drinking any alcohol for 2 weeks. It can be done I did it once

Made worse with stress. things that used to set me off fresh coffee, big roast dinners especially roast potatoes cooked in veg oil ( but ok if cooked in lard ) too much red meat. Not enough fibre in diet. Eat bran with fresh fruit for breakfast plenty of veg and fruit cut down on the stodge and beer.

I bet one day vosa stumble across this and have a field day cutting and pasteing drawing up their new campaign posters. The target for this month Arborists.

Yes sorry crossed wires. We wont be supplying logs in the future but it takes at least 18 months to get rid of stock. But I still have some stock left. I would do logs again always enjoyed standing in the pouring rain getting splinters and trapping fingers:biggrin:
-
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.
