Ive got one to cut the billets down the cork screw splitter is handy for breaking big logs down. The only poor thing is you cant reach the foot pedal to disengage the drive when operating the splitter so you need to be extra careful Second hand ones hold there money so i would buy new at least you know the belts and blade are ok. I just need to find an elevator to add to mine and all will be good.

When i first started i worked with an old guy who had felled trees all his life and when it came to ash leaning or straight he always used a chain and its always stuck in my head im well aware of the correct way to do a dog tooth and ive only ever had one go and i never had a strap on it, it was on a sharp bank next to a river when it went i had no where to go it split clean up the middle and it landed and rested on the still standing bit. So if anybody ever asks about leaning ash i say strap big saw little bar then you can visit the pub after not the morg:001_smile:

Better be safe than sorry use a strap every time?

What i think you should re read the original post no one is asking for work to be done for the timber

You no what your happy with but it sounds cheep to me i put two blokes a chipper out at 600£ on a day rate. So work out how much you want to earn a day then divide by 8 there's your hourly rate. When something breaks you need to be able to replace it with out worrying and the only way to do that is charging enough. I will not start a saw for anything under 150£ its not worth it

Why would they have ash sat on the deck for two years when cords been so hard to get hold of probably 90% birch 10% ash i would not pay any more than 22£ t r side 30 in the yard for birch. Cord has settled at 37£ t locally but is more available than last year

Ask them to send you the method they used plus the transaction number and bank if its all above board they will not mind sending evidence. Ive had exactly the same thing happen to me but as i had not really read the terms i was entitled to about 5% of the remains of the policy which is daylight robbery in my eyes.

All the bigger stuff you have to tender for but the right contracts with the right kit can earn good money. There is a contract coming up local to me that's worth around 80k a year the works spread out over 26 sites and would keep two blokes busy for most of the season. If you have the right gear and good blokes you can make good money
