did anybody else think the felling cut was to high?

weve had no end of problems with husky bars, with similar probs, not been dropped, always greased, turned, chain tensionsed properly - it seems ot be a husky bar problem - swopped onto oregan bars with renewable tips and there lasting well - if the time arises to replace it just knock the rivet out and fannys your uncle!

beautiful - like having a work of art in the field:thumbup:

no more than £200 imo - depends how its in the ground, some are just bang into the soil then what holds them down is the cover buried under soil at the edges, this is stronger than using concrete - someone we know who bought one second hand put his posts in concrete then attached the sheet to scaffolding boards along the bottom edge, in Oct 08 winds it took off like a kite pulling up the concrete and everything! the sheets are pretty expensive - pretty sure ours new in 06 was only £1000 complete, dont skimp on putting heat protection tape on the bars before new sheet, as it will give your sheet an extra few years life. hope this helps

now now kindlett, dont start getting upety like with us and 76AR !! - if your customers are loyal theyll stay with you - dont worry competition is healthy - it keeps us all on our toes - we dont stop people selling logs and sticks around us - it just makes you improve your service - thats if perfection can be improved if you dont want competition - dont hire out your machine - simplessss

i agree with mr bolam i think there will be alot more of this, now firewood is getting popular - we get asked alot for "can we keep the wood when youve cut it down "- we say yes, but it will be in big rings - splitting into logs will be extra - and we stipulate a price - but also get alot of can you cut my tree down - surely the cost of firewood out of it will cover your costs! - NO always best to cover whats happening with the wood before quoting - and also we hardly ever now do a job cheaper for the cost of the wood - been caught out before and it sometimes doesnt work out for the best:blushing:

logbaron gets quite upset if i open forest journal before he gets to look at it - great mag and essential arb.s always a good one aswel

dont worry mate youll get through it ok, Logbarons dyslexic and its never stopped him so far - just take your time and let your assessors now and theyll help if you need it - weve always found all assessors throughout both our careers in hort & arb. very helpful - best of luck !

our accountant looked into this for us, its 5% if your selling as fuel direct to the person using te product as fuel - its 17.5% (or standard rate) if selling onto a reseller i.e. wholesale to gararges, coal men etc - as its classed as any other product to resell on , the reseller will then sell it on at 5% VAT as fuel to the end user - IF THEY ARE VAT REGISTERED - hope this clears it up

400+ nets of kindling sticks, cut and filled in bags £1.25 plus VAT (17.5% for wholesale supplies) filled with larch, which is drying out in the polytunnel - collection only please - if you want to sort couriers - please do this yourselves if you pm me with collection address etc. order now as we shall be putting our prices up for next season - these are 40x50cm mono nets filled very full, we retail at £3.50 can put on pallets, 100 on each pallet, banded and shrink wrapped for extra £20 for the 400 nets, to cover cost of pallet and shrink wrap etc - can load with forklift, onto 7.5t, trailer etc. This price is for 400 nets +, we can supply smaller quantities, please PM for prices, eg. 100 nets collected £1.50 each net. thanks - all enquiries please ring Rohan on 07970 040755 or answerphone on 01889 564519 (please leave message as he wont answer phone when felling!) pics posted to keep shrek happy:001_tt2:

great tractor pics - why is the tyre on back to front on the rear of the roadless 75?

bryant kesek - 1st class service, when ring up for amendments, additions etc, always done promptly - nfu for all tractors etc, local office very helpful

we only stack when got time to do so, but we stack all our billets, when we do billets - use the cubic drying nets now, tip two into transit and away we go, less handballing:thumbup:- got to love a nice stack though

well woodworm we all get em - a farmer friend of ours sell his firewood by his trailer and says hes delivering 3 tonne, because its in a 3 tonne trailer - but theres no more than in the back of my transit tipper - about 2 cube, the sides are low and the trailers only about 7 x 5 with foot high sides - trouble is the customers believe him!

yes missed you also, were you hiding behind a pig sty?

sometimes they go, sometimes they blow - would the bill for a jap repair be double tho? plus these missus's dont like driving anything other than discos do they - mrs logbaron loves her disco:thumbup:

seen some cheapish county's on ebay with cranes on recently - you wouldnt go a miss with something like that ? - our disco i use for in the woods i thought would fail on everything on MOT, sailed through it - you cant right off those landies

good old landies - wouldnt do that with that jap rubbish:lol:

3.5t, right in, but weve moved some big stuff and had it dancing off the front wheels even with them filled with water and weights on the rims

firewood beech for sale - see firewood forum for further details - some wintery pics of forwarding out this last week during the snow

:001_tt2:what a useful setup - very good - its not the size its how you use it !

shes fast and furious - theres a ford ranger ex forestry commission in the farmers trader charlie - pop in if you want and pick up the copy and have a look if your interested

forgot to give the big john deere a heavy foot - that WOULD just send flaming ace over the edge - the sound of horse power ! - quick get the kleenex

wont get tech. with the tare and gross, but its carrying 12t of soft there when both bays full , and 185 old nags on the trac of fastness:001_tt2: not exceeeding my 24t train weight!

some more pics Sir Shrek - taken today, loading up some softwood to bring back to the yard to turn into Sticks - anyone want to see the before shots of what we turn into kindling sticks - here it is - nice larch mostly, bigger stuff will be for larch logs, made a good load up:thumbup:
