wage per tonne for felling sitka spruce
swinny replied to jbtreeservice's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
I get paid 80.00 a day self employed for felling all day mixed hard and soft , cutting to size, stacking and brashing. Provided with saw and fuel..... What do people think of that? I think that it should be 10.00 per ton! and some days i should be on at least 120 a day!!! -

Petrol log splitter stolen - Huddersfield
swinny replied to Kev Stephenson's topic in Stolen Equipment
Sorry to hear about that!! sods This is not really relevant but: Went to scrap yard the other day and was told that as of start of june, if i did bring anything up, i'd need to provide, driving licence or passport and a utility bill, and i would be paid in a cheque. (i just take up odd bits or replaced parts etc thrown in scrap bin) He also said and laughed..... the thing is though there is one exemption.... if on you driving licence it says " fancy word " can't remember but if it says that which basically means so place of perminant address we can pay cash So basically, travellers can still be paid cash as they have no fixed address etc so i can see a rise in stuff like scrap etc and travellers being aloud to carry on there business and not pay tax brilliant system! Again sorry to here your loss Hope it was insured! -

When you say "anyone" you make it sound like your going to get undercut and not get the contract allready lol. Not sure about the arb aproved... think its something like 500 a year basic? that what i thought i saw earlier anyhow... THough think a few people have commented that they have had some jobs through since being approved

I'm in need of a rigging rope at some point.... was going to look into 16mm as i like to knock some big'ish lumps out when rigging.... will look into the 14mm rope's aswell. Is the portland braid etc miles better than the marlow?
-
Correct Not sure just on the system to back the rear shoes off on these.... You could try to back the hand brake cable off as sometimes the rear brakes don't get adjusted properly and people just tighten the handbrake cable! Keep trying to get them off, a bar at each side of the drum. Good to give the drum a good couple of wacks with the hammer near the stud holes to see if that free's it off a bit. As said, bar at eather side and try pry it off, side to side. There is a possibility that the friction material may come away from the shoe if the lip on the drum is quite large. With the hand brake backed off, you adjust the drums back up after and then the hand brake. I also use a grinder to take the lip off the drum also

yeah, i'll have a look back at some, remember seeing you'd done some vids a long time ago but now you've seem'd to stop? Looks like some well organised jobs there with all the kit to make it run smoothly
