    Looking for cordwood 4" - 16" . Can collect from roadside 10 tonnes at a time if close by. looking for anything about up to 100 tonnes and same again in a few months.

    I have recently been in talks with other log merchants but when you get down to figures they would rather deliver small loads to the public. For 30 cu metres in a skip they want 20% more per cu ?

    Its good when they fish for prices. They sound nervous and know to much and use right lingo and withhold the no. Just over inflate your price will have them pondering for weeks.

    They all look really good and enviromentally friendly different from the norm. Personally I would buy a pallet of nasty parafin things for about £600 getting the price down to 27p a pack sell them for a £1 . Let me know if interested and I will pass on details when next in office.

    We used to go to bognor a few years ago when it was four people with food for £125 4 day break. Now its at least 3-400 . Yes its stuffed with chavs . Not a place I would choose but kids love it and its dry in the tent if it rains. Dont go for the cheapest accom go silver or above.

    I took it as a joke. It cost me £100 to purchase cord process and deliver. This takes 3 hrs so leaves £20 an hr for my time. 2cu metres loose for £160 . Cant see myself doing it for £40 . I hope he was joking

    Then they would have told all their friends about the free complimentary logs with every free trailer hire.

    New neigbour moved in and asked about log prices we said trailer full 2cu metres £160. Reply was we used to pay £40 where we used to live can we borrow your trailer. I told them to hire one for £40 for the day ' were not paying that '

    The advantage to these systems is you can process all your timber through them. We have an old processor but the time it saves us I often think gets used maintaining and repairing it and half the timber is too big so we still need to get the chain saw out and ring it.

    Is it tread mill or methane
  12. gensetsteve
    Yeah I dont get involved with all the technical stuff . More a final quality control man

    Too late

    The way we do it is process in the spring into vent 1.5 cu bags or into poly tunnel with concrete floor. Come delivery time scoop up with bob cat takes 4 minutes to load 2 cu metres means we can get 16cu out on a saturday with out breaking into a sweat.

    Pictures of logs and snow always give me a nice warm feeling. I think its the thought of the money.

    We have been selling ours for £1.50 + vat through the summer price needs to go up otherwise it wont be worth doing, the price of electric, bags and wood is going up all the time . I have a friend who is not vat registered who sells for £1.50 . Our bags sell to retail for between £3-£4

    I dont think the soft roaders will be robust enough for a work vehicle. I would imagine it will run out of traction off road with a chipper on the back. Due to the strange tyre sizes mud terrains often are not available. Alot of people burn clutches out on the crude double cabs so the diddy little clutch you get with a 2ltr will fry in a few seconds.

    Nature seems to do best by adding a bit of radiation and volcanic ash pollution dirt etc. A pallet and cover to keep of driving rain sorted. Considering the profit in logs I would say you have gone the distance already.

    Just gets better we have an indestructable 1998 thing. Can you still tow 2800 if you load the buck with a tonne.
  20. gensetsteve
    I have a Lancruiser faultless apart from the 17mpg av when towing and telephone no parts if you break it ( which we do ) defender may be cramped cold wet and slow but at least you can repair it with chewing gum and gaffer tape.

    How much do you have ? we are in Hampshire Happy to purchase a load. You could return with a load of kindling ?

    There was a problem a few months ago in that the sales literature for a hilux said 2800kg whearas the chassis plate said 2200kg. They may have sorted this out now which would be excellent news.
  23. gensetsteve
    Yeah I think they call it a Ranger

    I think you are all right I did not mean to critisis the sign writing. Makes no difference whats written on your van. An awkward customer is an awkward customer they will find any excuse to wiggle out of the bill. Just stand there politely with your invoice and explain you dont give credit and smile. Keep the high ground and walk away a winner.

    If you have had good service from your rodeo I would go for another. From what I have heard the others can be a disaster apart from the Hilux which tows very little.
