Not sure i'm with you at the moment steve, didn't you say earlier that £90-£100 a cube was enough? now as i read it you'r saying it's got to be near £200 a cube or it's not worth doing.

Whats the best camera detector out there thanks
eggsarascal replied to mendiplogs's topic in General chat
I agree with this totally. Please please dont speed. I had a work colleague/good friend killed by a speeding lorry driver, nothing to do with the arb world, he was doing as he was told, and working till he dropped. Unfortunately for his wife, daughter, mother and three brothers it was the last time he dropped. Just set off a few minutes earlier. Better a few minutes late in this life than along time in the next. -
Without going into detail anymore you do it your way and i'll do it mine. But at the end of the day my price will be £130-£140 per cube this winter.

If your spending 12 hours on the phone some weeks, i'd say there was something wrong!!!!

looking for bulk buy firewood. delivered.

Delivered? -
And to add to this most of my customers want logs that are locally sourced, not shipped half way around the country/europe.
-
Don't listen to what other people say, take into account what others in your area are paying for cordwood and selling logs for. Its not a case of greed its a case of making a living, if you can make a living selling logs at £90 per cube good luck to you, but i can't. And trying to make a comparison between merchant bankers and the local log merchant don't add up in my eyes
-
If you take my lower quote, isn't that "roughly" what i'm selling for?
-
What year is the motor and what did you pay for it?
-
Yep £130-£140 a cube is going to be my price this winter, all our running costs are going up and up if we don't put our prices up it won't be worth doing logs anymore.
-
Is that all hardwood? do you buy in cordwood? whatever the answer is to the above questions if i lived closer to you i wouldn't bother buying in and processing i'd just come into your yard load up and deliver and almost double my money.

approx 3m x 1.5m x 0.36m = 1.6m loose filled, which know i've worked it out sounds to cheap, but i'm going over to bulk bags this winter 800 x 800 x 800 which work out at .512 of a cube and they will be £65-£70 each.
-
£130-£140, depends if it's one of my regulars or not.
-
150 quid come the winter.
-
Thanks ben, sounds like just the sort of thing i'm after, lets just hope your man wants to sell it.
-
ben, do you know what horse power it is? and could i come over and have a look at it? and the big question how much would you want for it?
-
I have been thinking of converting my eagle so that i can free up the tractor, do any of you think it would be possible to run the processor off a stationary engine? I see the ones that come with their own engine have a 5.5hp version, do you think a 5.5hp engine would run the pto version or would the gearing be different? Hope this makes sense.

Or maybe Ricky Tomlinson (my arse), not quite a terrorist, but a freedom fighter for sure.

Che Guevara springs to mind.

I'm asking the question as i've been speaking to a lad in the pub tonight who's working/living over here, that told me that he was "signed up" by the "UDF" In Northern Ireland when he was a boy of fifteen, it shocked me to the core what this lad was telling me, just wonder who you had met and what they had to say.
-
Hi Big J, were paying £35 per tonne roadside at the moment, if we were paying any more i don't think there would be any money in firewood.
-
pm sent.
-
£60-£65 per tonne is nearly double the price of cordwood around here.

K R Waters, Caterbury, pm me for phone number.
