around £50-55 a ton delivered..
-
very well said...!!
-
you just wait till its seasoned surely.... if you found a £5 note... would you sell it for £4......
-
i sell cordwood in artic loads for £50-£55 a ton.. whether its green or fully seasoned you only get same volume logs fron a load so why would they be cheaper...... also i can get 5.2 cube of really dry mixed hardwood on my truck, thats 4 1.3 m loads... couldn't do that with green beech therefore my delivery costs will go up....
-
cos very few buy green unseasoned wood perhaps...
-
how many 26 ton loads would you be talking about?
-
i split my logs and they go in a big heap.... one heap has been there a year.. the other heap is fresh cut wood.. no difference what so ever to me
-
last time i enquired those trailers were £3800 with mesh sides and skids [plus vat]
-
you need to be selling them for same as a seasoned loads really... same amount work goes into producing them... we charge £80 for 1.3 cubic metres... we're in bucks...

BEWARE. dodgy looking processor on ebay
nick channer replied to nick channer's topic in Firewood forum
i doubt it woulda been stolen the machine doesnt exsist... they want you to pay through paypal and they will arrange delivery... they say your covered through ebay and paypal if its a scam and that may be true.... i've had exactly the same thing on there with 2 diff tractors and seen several timberwolf chippers on there with same description.... they always say to reply to there messages to a diff email address and not through ebay.. -
no different than any other line of work.. i dont rely on firewood for a living.... so the 2 transits would be sat in yard doing nothing waiting for a tree job to come in... if you have to start putting chain oil, price of a new chain at around a tener each and changing the oil and filters on an old major once a year then to be honest you shouldn't in the business..
-
i'm paying 30-35 a ton at min..... depending where you are i'd take all you got off your hands... [hardwood that is]
-
can i not interest you in an artic load of hardwood cord sometime soon....?
-
japa 375 expert on ebay.... the buy now price is £3500 which is way to cheap... he says he's in bucks but wont tell me where... he says its free delivery after paying by paypal....!!! i told him i'd buy it and come to him with cash, and lorry and hiab... funny enough he's not, and wont reply to me... its got scam written all over it....... if its not then i'll apologise.... but i wont be holding my breath..
-
we dont... but i have nearly 250 1.3 m loads all split and ready to go that cost me very little [all my own wood from tree work].. so when you put your own wood in with what you bought it goes a lot further... if i did 500 loads in a season... 250 that i've bought in aqnd 250 of my own it works out at £57 a load.....
-
no mate..... 1300 profit after buying and processing the wood.... although now i've got my own lorry i can buy a load for around £900 plus diesel to get it home...
-
they will round my way... they all used to have 7.5 ton grab lorrys till few yrs ago when police and vosa used to be less hot on operators licenses.. now theres not one on the road.... they like them cos they can use em for scrap as well as trees...
-
i buy in 26 ton cord.... which costs me 1300 quid.. 2 men process it in 2 days payin them £160 for both of them per day.. 15 gallon red diesel... from that load i get between 33 -40 of my loads which are just over 1.3 cubic metres... total income is £2960 [averaging 37 loads from 26 ton].. that leaves around £1300... or £35 a load... i take 3 loads out at a time and around 10 loads a day when weathers cold.... £105 for a round trip of say an hour will do me... it keeps my 2 blokes in work from now till march and gives me a good living for basically driving a transit all day...
-
-
thats the one... but just looked at pic again and realised the rams right back so only get a log on thereabout 3ft long...
-
anyone seen that home made splitter on ebay under firewood processor... dunno how to put the link up but i'm sure someone will do it for me....?? looks good bit kit but not sure the splitting wedge would last long... be good for splitting 3m lengths cord then running it through saw bench...
-
sent a private message soon after writing that....
-
20% on top i'm afraid..
-
we used to do 26 ton load in 2 good days with our little palax ks35s. only waste we get is bit sawdust and the small bits that fall through the grate on the splitter.. everything else goes in the load..... i have several people on here who are interested in a 26 ton of green wood being processed for them and tipped out of our lorry in their yard.... once i've managed to find time to split a load i'll no roughly how many metres they'l get from said load..
-
we were considering the fuelwood log station that seems to be almost fully automated... £44.000 seems a lot.. but in agricultural terms the outlay would be better than buying a farm machine.. if we had the shed space to put it it'd be perfect..
