  2. nowt but probs with mine,,,stipped it down twice,,still lack of power on cutting, and cuts out,,,checked fuel supply etc,,,?
  3. good stuff mate,,,as usual ! we spent the last two hard days slabbing A huge Oak up,,aching now lol
  4. spot on,,great clear pics,,,,thanks
  5. cutting and splitting? long day? think I want to employ you
  6. whats your local competetion? dont forget with a mill you need obviously,1/timber to mill, 2/a loader?forklift or tractor,3/ storage,,(you`ll be suprised how quick you fill the yard,) if you`ve got all that covered, and good contacts to sell the end product, then hey,,,sure beats office work, just not as consistant wages,,,,,speak to other tree surgeons,countryside services,ranagers etc, see if there interested , or go halfs on a mill?
  7. Went with trust today, knocked £330 off my new renewal quote from my previous insures...tis too easy just to renew,,,,,
  8. Hi mark let me know how you get on, in the same boat,,,,
  9. I agree, my lads saw up when they have a few hrs spare, or even on the job sometimes,
  10. its a good question,,,, we manage about 1m3 with a riko 11Ar spliter every 45 mins, if its nice rings under 18inch,,,,,,, from arb waste. I question buying in artic loads of straight firewood at £40 per ton,+ £10 per ton delivery, so a ton on average producing 1.5 cubic meters (presuming the timber was green when delivered)= I charge £80 per m3, so 1.5 m3 from the ton would return me £120,,,,after costs of,,,,,,,£50 wood,then add labour,storage(ie yard rent)fuel for delivery, cubic net bags, ,,I cant see it makes commercial sense unless you have a fancy bit of £15k kit,(processor) plus £10k worth of loader,,,,(which you need a return on) then i see why your m3 price must be £100 plus! I think people selling arb waste firewood can afford to charge less for the end product as we`ve usally been paid to remove it, but it takes longer than processor timber!
  11. yes but eddie you make yours ,,he doesnt,,,and your are made locally, with non nasty woods,,,,
  12. thumbs up from us here,,,thought hes right in so many ways,,,the old boys club will be stirring!
  13. I seen some wicked super large outside tables made with it, with chainsawed seats,,looked like something out of alice in wonderland!!! i`ll try and find the pics..
  14. we use the 3.6 ones,,brilliant, no more argueing about whos getting the ladders off the truck, springs on the adjustable legs are the only weak points,,,,,
  15. mate just made me spit my tea out,,,well funny,,,,,lol:thumbup1:
