i cant eat a thing much before 11am... never have done.. my partner eats cereal and toast at half 6 in morning.. its much as i can do to force a tea or coffee down before work...... i do eat lot during course of a day just not before lunch time...

hi there.. whereabouts are you.. i'd move it for u...

we deliver hay,straw haylage within a 30 mile radius of our farm.. we also run a fastrac with a hookloader trailer on dropping 40 yard bins to demo sites in same area... should use white for all of it... if we get caught we'l pay the fine... in the mean time we'll stay as we are... same as running the mog on red for domestic tree work...

my sc50 has one track faster than other.. can be a nightmare when on someones nice lawn...

a lorry and drag will be longer than an artic trailer... i'm guessing you;d get 3 bays of 2.4m on lorry and 2 bays on the drag wheras you only get 4 bays of 2,4m's on an artic trailer...

me.....

cant see that.. i get 27cm3 after air gaps on my artic trailer... at most they will only get as 3rd as much on with a lory and drag.. nwhen i buy my wood they take 45% off for air gaps..

in my experience 50cm3 from a 26 ton load green beech... bear in mind that usually you wont get a full lorry load of beech as it'd be over weight.

take quite a bit arround suffolk/ norfolk borders.. without remembering exactly where you are could do you load ash/hornbeam for around £1450.. cheers

anyone want a quote for haulage on artic [26 ton] just let me no.. i'm not far from guildford..

bigger non processor size is generally £10 a ton cheaper... although round here its normally same price.. i personally prefer a lorry load of 2ft plus dia timber to 4-14inch... get way more loads firewood out of it.... and unless you have all 10inch plus wood for a processor, processors arde not as fast in my experience as one man on a chain saw and one on splitter... might be harder work for them but they do as many loads in a day as they would on a processor..

:thumbup1:

hello mate.. i can supply you as many loads as you want if your prepared to pay the haulage from M4 J12

hope not... we got 300 acres spring barley to get in..... but logs have def slowed right down... only done 5 loads all week...

same here.. we work normal hours no matter what day of week...

i'm not religious and never have been... but when my little boy was born at only 28 weeks, nearly 12 weeks premature... and weighing 2lb 12oz's.. and being told he prob wouldnt last the night, i can tell you i believed in god that night... and me and my partner both took comfort in the priest sayin a prayer for him.. several prayers were said [in my head] over the next hours, days, weeks... and whether they were answered or not i dont no.. all i no is my boy is still with us 9 months later and he's not 100% but he's getting there...

are you still looking for cordwood... have several diff mixes available if you are..

def 23 tons...

he had one before that from new which was 89/90 g reg and that had over 250k on it till it got nicked and burnt out.... he was gutted as he wanted to drive it into the ground.. woulda been interestin to see how long it lasted...

my mates got a 98/s reg one with over 240k miles on it.. drives fine still

i pay my climber £180 for a good full day or £150 for an easy day and he might be done by lunch time... sometimes i'll offer him £250 for the day if he gets the job finished.. when were busy he'll be doing 3 or 4 days out of 6 for me.... i have a full time lad who does a certain amount of climbing and he's on 80 a day but i guarantee him 5 days a week....

shame cant get artic in or i'd do it for ya... thats not gonna be cheap though..

whys it harsh... there paying more than that now for heating oil.....the houses are let except the one my dad lives in.... the money from them is whats paying for the boiler.. were not doing it for the fun of it were doing it to make... and savr money..

all i no is we;re signing up for 20 yrs at a guaranteed set figure.. like i said without the incentive and being in the tree business where vi burn hundreds of tons a year of conifer willow poplar etc on fire in yard to get rid of it it'll be put in a heap and used to heat 4 houses that normally cost 5 or 6 grand a year to heat.. my dad will get his house heated for nothing and charge the tennants 4000 a yr for the heat... and i'll get my logs dried quicker.... obviously there be a small cost in processing the wood to put in boiler.. but it needs o be cut to 900mm long and can be up to 12-14 inch diameter.. basically as long as you can lift it in there it'l do... the guy who's selling them is looking and has succesfully found houses where he can install a boiler and heat 2 or 3 of the next door neighbours.. he will guarantee them heat and charge them for it at reduced rate to what they pay and he gets the incentive money.... he reckons the money from the heat will more than pay for the wood and labour to process and fill boilers every day and incentive is all profit... he is also offering a top up service to customers who buy a boiler.. where he'll go round the sites..[mainly big hotels..stately homes etc] in 7.5 ton lorry with hiab and drop stillages of wood ready to go in boiler and take the empty ones away.. obviously some people would be put off with the processing/handling of the wood but this eliminates that problem... once theres a few boilers installed and people can see them in action etc i think it'll take off in big way... theres 840 million in the gov pot at min and once thats gone there be no incentives which is why you have to jump on quickly...
