Perhaps I should service their generator for free and give them £200 for the waste oil and filters. -
I was looking to purchase cordwood on wood lots when I see an advert from a bloke selling his oak tree to pay for the felling recently done. Another lady has a walnut tree for sale Just needs taking down ?. I guess it must be in vertical storage with automatic watering, perhaps we need to pay for that aswell

I went into Ottons in Salisbury in 2007 and test drove a 110 new unregistered and it was £17,000 + vat how can a defender be 22k in 1995. I did not buy it because I could not see us driving it long distance so we stuck with the disco van.

Trouble is with the 3.5 tonne is when you have fitted the tipper the toys and the people you can only carry 500kg.

I was going to make a joke about poplar but I have had lots to drink and thought it may be taken the wrong way so Im not going to. Everyone producing logs is in the same boat. How to get the best product to the customer while buying shiney toys to save your back but still show a profit. Its only wood
-
If anyone knows of a deal in the south I would love to know. I can only assume wood is a bit cheaper up norf.

I had 25 litres of oregon mineral bar oil and 25 lit of bio. Just finished using the bio through the winter on the processor. I thought they both performed the same flowing ok in cold weather. The bio makes a bit of a sticky mess around the cover on the bar. Bio smells nicer and probably better for your skin. I get a feeling sometimes of having little splinters in my hands but it could be a reaction to diesel and mineral oil. I dont seem to get this when working the processor. We will see in the next few weeks as the tank is getting cleaned and filled with normal oregon this morning.

Its got the really gutless non turbo engine aswell. 15 for that or do u buy a nice 2150 unimog ummmmmmm not a difficult one

I think the pollution charge has been posponed due to the powers that be, bancrupted the country. But it is coming for small comms. Could be here now I would check on line as it is £100 a day.
-
When u say truck is it new enough for the pollution zone? I would think a wage + congestion charge + 60-80p a mile plus pollution charge.

2 cu metres of loose logs takes £75 of cord wood 3 hrs labour at £10 and hr incl delivery and some machine main and clearing up £7 in diesel to deliver £5 in cherry or petrol if doing rings £1 in bar oil and wear So far thats £118 Then u need to add vehicle main tax ins depreciation Machinery cost £10,000 a chunk Rent rates electric liab insurance Round here I charged £180 last year if I break the £200 barrier things will be slow.
-
So the £55 for 1.2 cu metres is for softwood. Your paying roughly what you would pay for hardwood cord. It will cost u about an Extra £30 a tonne to process. If you are getting £110 a cubic metre I would carry on as you are and forget about cool toys.
-
Can the timber be used or does it have to be destroyed to prevent spread
-
If you have plenty of supply and u dont need the time to cut it up the worlds your oyster. If I could find loose loads of logs around the south for that sort of money seasoned or not its what I would be doing. The only thing that limits my business is raw material customers we are definately not short on.

I dont think it was your post on its own but a combination of three others which came together to cause a problem.

I had a company hosting my site unless I made alot of changes it would cost £60 for the year. I made none but 6 months later got an invoice demanding a further £178 . I refused within a week my site was gone and a debt recovery agency on my case. They registered my website in their name and redirected all my traffic to a plant company they owned. It took about 3 years to snatch my web address back at 12 oclock at night. The debt recovery agency backed off when they realised the hosting company were crooks. Nearly 5 years later I am still getting grief from these cyber geeks. Moral of the story is dont upset cyber geeks and make sure your virus protection is top notch right now. We had a bucket load of malware last week on both our computers and it cost over £100 to get it sorted.

I have a cuckoo I need to get rid of it gets up at 4am
-
If you get anything near hampshire I would be interested in picking 10 tonnes at a time. I would love your wood but distance will kill the job.
-
For the cost you may be suprised at the wholesale orders you get. We get Log orders from large houses for 14 cu metres for the winter. And large wholesale orders for our kindling ie inexcess of £5000 in one order.
-
Had one very good job and several quality enquires
-
But I dont see a new approach. Importing timber been done, costs the same as we sell it for ?. I have never found 1.2 cu metres for sale at £55. Kiln drying been done, not very enviromentally friendly, costly and unnecessary. If a few people import logs it will be good as it may bring down the cost of cord wood. If everyone imports it will be uneconomic to produce logs in this country so it will be the same as coal. Everyone buying in no one employing, no one employed no one to buy the goods.

The tractor looks tidy if you bought a twin axle 14tonne grain trailer and put 10 cu metres of rings in it would probably still only weigh 7 tonne behind. grain trailers often go on ebay for £1500. Would be a bit slow but would get you started until u could afford the unimog.
