True and for the last few years there has been no cord about after November. Combine this with the huge stock piles the government has bought in grit anticipating a hard winter you should be quids in.

I produce a cubic metre of soft wood from my processor on a saturday. I cut joinery waste so its kiln dried virgin timber. It looks ideal for pet bedding ? . But with the hassle of bagging it and dealing with the public I send it down to the local chicken farm and they use it near the end of the crop under the drinkers. When cutting beech logs I must produce 20 metres of saw dust a month but it does not weigh much so not worth selling. I tend to allow it to rot down anyone need some top soil.

But if a Landrover Lover buys a Landcruiser what will they do with themselves at the weekend

If keeping the weight on is the idea I cracked that one without energy foods. We had energy drinks when we were kids think it was called Tizer. I did have some rehydration drinks back in the summer when logging had a sort of bicarb crossed with battery acid taste with blueberry thrown in but they were well passed sell by date.

I think the recession is really starting to bit now and it does look as if it will be around a while. Without a crystal ball it will be impossible to see how things will sell over winter. I think buy in only what you can afford to sit on. Or as the saying goes 'risk not thy whole wad'

I think you are right about the old boys. Unless you harvest and process your own wood or get it free from arb work you will be priced out in the future. The material cost has doubled in 5 years the retail price has not.

Wifes had ours on at least 10 times already run out of room in the barn for logs so she helped by taking some out the back

I can sing ( badly and in too deep a voice ) I was born under a wondering star it always sounds much better when i have drunk ten pints of Newquay cider. If I get through the auditions do you think you could vote for me. I would obviously take both a stihl and a husqvarna on stage with me. -
So can mine but she WANTS to drive her new i10 and i guess after a few years its best to keep the peace anything for an easy life

If I had a good local pub The money I spent would be more than recouped By extra business but if it wasnt who cares
-
With another 2 hrs of x factor to go ( although 1hr 45 minutes will be ads ) I would come down your local but I think 145 miles is a long way to walk even drunk.

I have had a defender tipper now got a hilux tipper. Unless I was going to carry 1.5 tonnes of chip I would never buy another Landrover. Even then then if the other half was driving it defo no LR . I personally dont like the L200 for a huge list of reasons but some people get on very well with them. I have had old toyotas with starship mileage and no probs. If you turn one into a tipper look really closely at the payload I think the extra cab carries the most weight. You may need to go up rather than out.

I remember buying at a dove bid auction. They would only accept bacs which cost me £25 not a problem if you spend thousands but I only spent £500. They also have a nasty habit of extending the auction time if they get new bids

The biggest problem with logs is cash flow and storage and I have not found a stove supplier that eases either of these problems. We cant keep up with the demand in the winter what we need is people to buy and store their logs in the summer. As a self employed person working with my hands tied behind my back for a stove installer would not work for me. I could always start stocking and installing stoves.

If you can get the wood free you could process and make yourself good money.

A metre of timber or 1 tonne of most hardwoods will turn into 1.5 to 1.6 cubic metres not 2 . Most cord suppliers sell by metres not weight now. I dont buy 20 tonnes of timber and get 40 cubic metres of loose logs. Does anyone else. You may get 40 900mm bags.
-
Perhaps that came out wrong. What I meant was although I dont have all those processes whoever supplies me does. I have forklifts and teleporters my small processor probably runs on the same size tractor as their big machine. They deliver several loads with one truck I deliver one with a tipper. They guarantee the wood will be dry and burn. I would imagine most of the wood on here will be dry but the public dont know that and sometimes have a bad experience with small local suppliers.

Friend had a 53 plate one when it was about 5 years 30,000 miles luckily he bought from a mitsi main dealer as 11 months later it dropped the flywheel and took out the crank shaft. Needed new engine, flywheel, clutch and gearbox about 5k . After a few months it started to make a few noises when you put the clutch in He traded it in for a freelander. I know its not a newer shape but although it did go bang it was sorted by mitsibushi.

Timber Stack Volume quibbles
gensetsteve replied to TimberCutterDartmoor's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
I have always bought beech on 55% wood buts its a bit bendy compared with Larch. You could try meeting in the middle but you probably will still loose out. Cut the volume you sell to them down and spread your eggs and avoid them in the future.
