If your in the firewood game for the long term you got to charge a proper rate it was only last year I was telling a few on hear to put there prices up and it looks they made the right choice. In our area me and another chap sell @£130 a cube yes we loose custom but i rather sell 100 cube @ 130 than 130 @ a ton. Every man & there dig is selling logs round us they come and go and all say it's a mugs game as they can't make money Jan 1st price will go up by a fiver people are getting it in before so the first two weeks all be quite.

We had 6 apple trees completely ring barked by rabbits and there still going strong and the owner reckons a there's more fruit on now than before. I know this does not make sense!

My Isuzu is exactly the same at tearing up the ground in 4 x 4 I only use it when needed. You need to use it now and again or when you go in to low box there is an electric switch on the vehicle that get stuck then you can't he out of low box happened to me 3 miles off the beaten track in late evening . If you use 4 high on the road it will scuff the front tyres

Good accountant will save you a bad one will cost you a fortune. I've had both luckily the bad one only did one tax return. Should if realised she was bad as at our first meeting I asked what had happened to her 911 the reply a disgruntled client reversed into it.

If you ran a 50 along side a machine capable of moving high volumes of smaller stuff you would have the best set up pos. The more and more big stuff I put through the tajfun the more I realise what a machine like the big x is capable of half meter pieces of cord going through the knife every 20 seconds does not take long to do a cube.

Lot of guys that work on the rails locally say it attracts the wrong people as it's not that well paid for a brash dragger. On the other hand there's a local rail firm that employ some local lads pay um well and there going from strength to strength. I would quite happily go work for those guys as it would be as good as you made it. But generally I would not touch it.

Believe me his feet never touched the ground.

Lad I know is a chipper mechanic he got called out to a job on a Friday afternoon as rail clip had gone through chipper. Repaired restarted and was stood by the van talking to rail guys when he see a lad chucks rail clip in the hopper and feed timber in along side it. When asked why he did it he said he wanted to go home early:sneaky2:

Does this trailer belong to someone on here?

That's a lot ov weight to have bearing down on the nose when empty and I would suspect not legal due to over loaded hitch. -
If you can get what I want pm me if this was an except use to get a cost of the timber it's worth £42 a t either way good luck
-
25 tonne need to have it at 2.5 m really to keep the stacks nice and even. Again I'm looking for straight cord not tops 12 to 16 inch no pegs no unions. Might seem fussy but if I pay the haulage I want it to be a breeze to process. If you can supply that let me know.
-
Where your located there is a glut of timber. So price has got to reflect that, as it's been down 12 months so that has allowed it to loose the weight that makes oak a bad but in the first place so £40 £42 is a fair price. If you can grade me an artic load I'll take the 12 to 16 inch stuff we have drivers looking for return loads from there all the time.

Maintenance I would think there built like brick cazee
-
I found myself in the more or less the same position. We started a grounds maintenance business and soon had people asking us to take care of the trees at first it was simple stuff as time went on it became more complex I got my cs tickets and found a good climber who could take care of everything. It gives you the opportunity to learn and earn. We were lucky to find a climber that who had all his Arb certs and was happy to help. You only get one chance at doing stuff what's the worst that could happen?

Tajfun based the 420 joy on it by all accounts . The big x is the boy if you got the cord to keep it fed as it's one Hungary machine.

From what I see a HP. 37 is for the guy doing a. 100 /150 t a season a friend of mine had one it ate belts and after the 2 nd season about. 1600t it would flex when splitting an awkward log. The guy that bought it spent 2 k on it at local dealer and puts about 100 t a year through it real steady he loves it Now the 42 that is a beast.

Was blowing a hooly last night but dry & still this morning.

Bit off topic I know but in the last 6 months I've had a lot of contact with local authority due to my boys disability. I'm completely go smacked at how bad it's run. There out of touch mostly incompetent idiots who can make a complete cock up of something and still get a slap on the back by there senior manager who is equally incompetent. It stinks

I had a supplier like that banana cord when he rings now the banana man cartoon is his ringtone

There should be no long shards in there and be a lot more uniform than that what chipper produced that?

What are you doing on your last day of work?
Mortimer Firewood replied to Will Heal's topic in General chat
What do you do?? -
I want the first 7 k out of a processor not the last 7k let someone elsa worry about it getting old. Plus Kilworth do some pretty good deals on trading in. Don't no many firewood merchants keeping processors longer than 3 years.
