  1. have ash and sycamore mixture available... let me no where you are and i'll let you no how much a ton
  2. mention soft wood to a customer in our area and they will run a mile...
  3. not a proplem if theres a teleporter to load... i'll put em in my bulker...
  4. if anybody buys it i can haul it as long as acess for an artic is good both ends... 25ish tons at a time...
  5. this is so true.. my front mount 550 chipper on mog has never had the stress control working from new... its not a problem till it gets bit blunt then you can hear the engine cstruggling a bit and has been known to block..... i've tried for years to get my workers to hear what i hear but they havent a clue... its so frustrating...
  6. my little boy is 15 months.. already he no's pretty much what every lever or button is for in my tractor just like i'm told i did at that age.. he spends hours with me in it at a time... when i was 12 i was dropped off in a field by my dad and used to operate a flail hedge cutter on a brand new at the time 1985 B reg ford 7710..[no fancy powershift gearbox's etc] for 12 hours or more a day... i'd sat in tractors with him from a very early age and watched his every move... i was driving the combine at 14... and at 16 when i left school took charge of one of the first mini hesston balers [brand new] ever to be seenin 100 miles from our farm... i worked that baler on my own sometimes 40 miles from home for 20 hrs a day for yrs.. and still do now... and soon as my boy jack can opereate it safely he'l be doing the same..wheter he's 13 or 18... what i'm sayin is u cant expect someone to walk off the street and operatr machinery, whether itsa baler, hedgecutter or processor... its almost bred into u from an early age...
  7. drinking my tea then got 19 loads to do today... its so easy when there already split in a big heap.. had a 1.3 cubic metre bucket made for forklift.. can put 4 loads on my truck in less than 3 mins.. makes delivering so quick.. 19 loads and i'll be done by lunch time..., and i bet i'll get few more loads in today when they call up.. 6 old customers and rest are new ones..
  8. we charge £35 a week for a 25ft container.. and have people quein up for them.. small enclosed sheds with lockable doors 30ftx30ft £350 a month..
  9. blimmey... skips are cheap upyour way... my 12 yarders are £260 + vat.. and some charge 300.. you wont get charged tonnage on top for any chain lift skip..but rol on off bins you will..
  10. i've got 6 40 yarders... shame your not bit closer.... if you have somewhere to tip the wood chip then you should get a bin dropped off, picked up and tipped at your site for around £200-250... i had this problem last year when i took a huge oak tree down in shrewsbury [nearly 200 miles from me].. i was gettin quoted £180 for the bin, which was ok... then £80 a ton on top of that.. so if full with oak butts etc could easily of gone over 10 ton costing a grand per bin.... in the end i got someone down here with an artic scrap bulker to go up there, hired a forklift and chipper up there, filled the bulker to the brim with butts and cord and left chip on site... we left at 5 in morn and was back by 8 at nite, job done.. cost me £750 for bulker.. but sold oak butts for £1200 and had prob 10-15 ton of firewood.. would of needed 3 bins otherwise...
  11. and 25 ton at time....
  12. your a bit far for me but if more than one load to do then £10 a ton min..
  13. only thing that puts me off compared with other machines is once the log is cut it doesnt fallon the floor... prob ok with smaller stuff but as you can see from video bigger stuff is more of a problem

  15. did 18 loads on sat... got 9 booked in for this sat so far....
  16. if he's in business and cant afford to pay you at end of week then he's either not very good in business or taking you for a mug mate... my lookon at it is if he cant pay at end of day after doing a job he shouldnt be doing it...had same conversation with guy who does bit climbing for me... he wanted my mog and chipper on the cheap for 3 days.. then wanted my big tracked grinder at cheap day rate... but couldnt pay till he'd been payed.. i said do i tell you that when you've done a days climbing...

  18. can do 25 tons if you've room for an artic at £55 a ton delivered..
  19. i was thinking same... between a 1000 and 1500 without looking at them..
  20. i've heard and seen with my own eyes travellers buyin and selling workers off each other but didn't think it went as far as slavery... lad who worked for me a while back thought the grass was greener on the travellers side when they offered him more money.... they did pay more but he was still at work at 9 most evenings for same money... he had to go and stay with relatives in dorset for a month to get away from them in the end....
  21. should be a lever in cab same as a mog for front or rear pto.. we've got a MB trac 1000 with a demount sprayer on, its got front linkage and the pump for sprayer is mounted on it...
  22. if you can wait 2 or 3 weeks i can bring you in beech and silver birch for £60 a ton.. having to collect from east sussex hence £60... if you find summin closer and you need it hauling i'll be happy to give you price..
