thats pretty good going mate , o what it is to be young and fit!
-
i loose count after 10 still all you have to keep telling your sen is 22p a log 22p a log!!
-
mate if it works for you then fine , i know the wages were different in the 1930's but an hourly rate today would kill it if you employed someone to count and handle .
-
steven serious!!!!!
-
yes i counted about 450 apple logs in mine , bending over potatoe boxes getting the last logs out of the bottom of the box was putting added work on my body , if they want half a box then they will pay extra for it .
-
did do in the past but it used to do my bonce in, have a totally new out fit next winter pallet boxes and a box tipper, in the end you start to handle the same log 5 times!!

thats a bit special, great tip about the bark staying on.
-
yeh thats what i would do , surely hireing for one job would be the most profitable way . is there another tree surgeon in the area that you could go halfs with?
-
i am not a tree surgeon but am not shy to hard work too the point being is that i went there and done the job for him in 6 hours , if you are quoteing £300 for a mornings work and £200 for an afternoon then you have to be bloody efficient, its unfair to use this as an example but i can see why people choose to use "un quallified tree surgeons" .
-
look to be honest about this and as an outsider looking in at your buissenes (arborists) some and i mean some of the profession may be over chargeing! i know i will be dragged over the coals about this but , i give you an example, a friend of mine phoned up a tree surgeon to come and have a look at his garden at some work to be done , he had a conifer hedge about 5meters long x 3 high a small cherry that wanted 3 branches taken off and a 7 meter spruce to be took down , now he quoted £300 for a mornings work and £200 for an afternoon he said it would take 2 days now this guy is a very good surgeon a true pro but surely unjustified to be asking this sort of money, i know he has insurence to cover public liability to cover and thats the hidden money that the general public dont take into consideration .

hears one though, pound for pound what would be more productive a hourse ploughing or an ox? guess it would come down to the safest to use?
-
thats a great idea, then when they get past it you can eat them, never tried to eat a john deer 2650 though:sneaky2:

i see them a few years back up in finnmark at the top of norway beats any fire work display, ever

a more sensible way of life. i like the sound of that!!! but in reality its a dream i cant see the western world going back in tehnology if the rest of the world (china, india) are moving forward, will we see hourses fighting against tanks in the militery(with preasent cuts to the armed forces probbly) like the 1st world war ,. will we see combines replaced by hourse drawn binders , but as cousin jack said as long as there is a demand for oil then people will keep paying it,
-
what do you think cousin jack should we be growing more fuel? as people have forgotten in the past when we used hourses on farms half the farm was set aside to grow fuel . ie hay , fodder for the work animals?
-
i was toying with the idea of useing a subsoiler and a reel.

i think that this is stress related, do you take things in when you read things that your interested in ie. books on trees , hobbies ect? steve it sounds like you are a creature of habbit and routine the same as anyone who runs a buissenes you need organisation and especially if you are the bread winner for a familey, as for trains maps travel , lots of people suffer from the thought of" messing up " on that side of life i was ages before i would travel and how can i put it," step out of my comfort zone" i think experients and repetition play a huge part in learning! my father has dyslexia , his father suffered from it and i had how can i say it learning difficulties, my father and i run a farm and run it well , on the strengths that we have!! hope this helps mate you have done a very brave and honest thing asking for advice . dave fox
