    that sort of thing but my idea wouldnt be nowhere near as well fabricated as that, i dont think that level of engineering is needed. would be more like this but i'd make the chamber so it could twist by 180 degrees so logs could be tipped out

    did you sell your saw bench mate?
  3. farmer_ben
    thanks for that mate, quite interesting you say that half load is 1.75 cause my old trailer was 1.8 cube and i was wondering how much i'd have to put in this new trailer to get same amount. the ifor is around 1.5 cube with a load flat level with the sides. do you mind me asking what you charge for your trailer loads? PM me the details if you want to share. cheers mate

    had that a few times this winter already, cant help that a few times its been competitors on the phone finding out my price?! bit sad really, i'd happily have a chat with them if they introduced themselves!
  5. farmer_ben
    did you get them pictures mate? would be interested in seeing the sides as i believe i have the same trailer.
  6. farmer_ben
    the ifor tipper trailer is 1.3 cube standard i believe, but i'm going to make extensions so i can take a 1.8 load or 2 1.2 loads. where in essex are you mate?
  7. farmer_ben
    think ours was 60p a litre, through atlasfram group, mind you we do fill our 30,000 litre tank up each time

    how'd you get on with it? i nearly bought one down near oxford couple of weeks ago, gone for a club cab and an ifor tipper instead. the buck on one i was gonna buy was 1.3 cube if i remember right. 12 loads a day must be pretty local mate?!

    A pub called up today, they wanted a load straight away could I do it. I said i'd finished for the day but could drop a load off on my way to the Rugby. Great they said, how much will we owe you. Tell them my price, they knew it anyway as they had my card, oh we can get a cube for £60 from up the road was the reply.....oh right I say. Its your call, thats my price and I can do you a load in ten minutes if you want it.Guess what, they gave it a miss!! Not at one point did they ask me what the wood was like that I supplied, was just all about the price. Really hope they get a crap green load for £60, instead of my lovely seasoned Ash and Field Maple

    I processor straight from the stack into my truck and straight out to the customer most of the time, if we have a few slack days i'll billet a load of timer up or cage a load of logs up but it works best for me to process from stack to truck. Mind you my stack has sat there for 2 years so its fairly well seasoned.
  17. farmer_ben
    how much you charging for that mate?
  18. farmer_ben

    Looking to buy in some soft wood cord to try next winter, anyone in the Suffolk area got any for sale or know who to call? I'll still be buying hardwood as well but want to start offering cheaper mixed load, as well as all hardwood, next year. Any replies are appreciated, cheers
