    That's the beauty of bags tip them 1 load in front if trailer 1 in back 1 bag in top then if I'm really pushed 1 in the back of truck
  2. Mortimer Firewood
    Yep sounds just like herefordshire with a little bit of imagination most vehicles can be made to carry multiple loads. Cant see how you can make it pay trundling round with 1 order on. Delivery days I'm leaving the yard at 730 loaded with 4 /5 cube usually back by 9 do a couple local then in the yard working. How many loads can you guys get out in a day?
  3. Mortimer Firewood
    It's not a mindless comment what's the use of having a delivery vehicle that can only do one load. It's like sending the country postman on a skate board. Can't be processing if your sat in a vehicle.

    Use to be 1" miles now it's 25 we just wait til there is a few in the same area. One of our customers use to save it from Newport which is over an hour &15 away.

    Which bags were you using as we have tried everything heras potato boxes the lot vented bags work well for us season well quick to load reasonably cheep. Can't see any other way of doing it when your doing bigger volumes .

    What make is it a pikee
  10. Mortimer Firewood
    How much was it they want 5 k for the tajfun one
  11. Mortimer Firewood
    The tajfun log loader is ok but really slows productivity down unless a second man is present. I'm getting the log deck for a trial to see how good it is. But then I would need a 360 to feed that where do you stop.

    That needs a window knife unless it's designed for breaking it down

    It's not all about money. I've chased money all my life driving miles to get the best rates on the best jobs taking risks working all the hours possible. Last year I just forgot about money and did what I wanted to do making a reasonable wage and been happy is more important

    Rats!

    Mortimer Firewood replied to IanW's topic in The Lounge

    I'm my younger days knocking around with a keeper we looked after a few shoots had a rat on a drive 15 m away the shot cut him in half and the front part ran off the image will never leave me . Don't know if I could raise a gun to shoot anything now. Apart from the odd thief of cause

    I no of a firewood kilning operation that started out on grants with oil fired kils with the oil tanks on top of the kilns they passed there HS audit every year. Log burner in a container seems safe enough to me

    Prices vary across the country I payed £29 a tonne road side for scots and larch before Christmas and since then paid £44 in the yard Ask what the road side price is
  19. Mortimer Firewood
    Let us know how you get on with it keep thinking of chopping it in bit if it ain't broke don't fix it.
  20. Mortimer Firewood

  21. Mortimer Firewood
    Nice job
  22. Mortimer Firewood
    I had many a crafty fag under that tree as a child while at school up the road.
  23. Mortimer Firewood
    You have an over eager one and I've got one that can't get his sorry ass out of bed in the morning. Which is worse?
  24. Mortimer Firewood
    Sorry to say this but a lot of the people locally that have second homes here and one in London. Time will tell I hope there wrong. The world economy is slowing down just look at fuel prices no demand = poor economy please correct me if I'm wrong?
  25. Mortimer Firewood
    We supply a few stove shops with logs to keep there display log burners going there as busy as ever.
