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.

How many logs have you sold since September?
gensetsteve replied to richardwale's topic in Firewood forum
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.

A bag from our premium range

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.
-
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.
