    YEP i use loads every day some are sold as cubic meters and are . 9 thats why i asked with out making a fuss. Do you think bags come in one dimension:sneaky2:
  2. Mortimer Firewood

  3. Mortimer Firewood

    In the last video the operator really didn't know the machine as the high lift can have both lift and tip done at the same time. I've had a kubota and an iseki with the john deere bought out to a sight we cut every 3 weeks the iseki made the jd look like a toy. The only thing i don't like is as shown in the video when you cut in the collector sticks out. But thats why you have a hydro 80 to trundle round in front taking care of the tight bits. With an Iskie sxg 19 Etesia hydro 80 Ferriss / skagg you can tackle anything. I'm thinking of getting out of grass cutting as new comers are under pricing jobs left right and centre. So all the above machines will be up for sale the iseki has just over 400 hours and was bought in 2013

    I had a couple of lads clearing timber from wind blown and bringing it to the yard in grain trailers they soon started selling logs and after a couple of seasons stopped as there was no money in it. Big timber is no fun to move or process I would not pay for it even with no cost in the timber it's going to be tight

    If you keep charging a day rate you will not get anywhere... the job you describe would take a day start to finish. Price for a day and a half .just break the job down in to how long each piece will take add it up thats your price. If your working on your own and using kit anything under£25.00 hour and your on a road to no where

  12. Mortimer Firewood

    You need to come spend some time in my neck of the woods there's old boys up here that do more before 9 than most do all day Had a job in 2012 installing 122 oak sleepers the old boy that helped me was as fit and strong as me. If you repeated the above to him you'd probably end up on your arse.
  16. Mortimer Firewood
    Fair play Dean customer that single act will probably pay 10 fold when she tells her friends what a lovely honest young man you are
  17. Mortimer Firewood
    Don't bother putting wooden posts in use concrete How high you going with the sleepers
  18. Mortimer Firewood
    Spent years working in all weathers if there was a crane on site costing a fortune we were working. I've been on a hill snow billowing down and building up on my face. It's not healthy getting soaked through the old boys use to tell me and I laughed but they were right it's taken it's toll on me

    The only thing I approve of with rain is looking out the window at it preferably the boozer window

    Exactly what it said on the tin a contract to mow grass and charging an hourly rate is not going to make money. Our clients want a price and you in and out commercial domestic what ever it's all the same. We have just landed a contract where the two others wanted to charge an hourly rate and it would take between x and y hours we were more expensive but he chose us as I just looked at it and gave a price there and then.
  21. Mortimer Firewood
    Yes it happened when I tried to do it then brains ( mrs) stepped in and it went through
  22. Mortimer Firewood
    Hourly rates are not going to work on mowing contracts
  23. Mortimer Firewood
    Only seen it happen with sycamore
  24. Mortimer Firewood
    Sycamore does not weigh light when green it drys very quickly so can become light if left. Stand a 3 ft log on it's end on a concrete floor and leave for a few hours you will get a puddle of water from it.
