    I've heard Monkey Puzzle wood is worth a fair bit to a mill or a furniture maker, not sure if its true but you maybe able to earn a few more quid.

    Interesting yes, at that price no way.

    I'm in Mid Sussex, had been looking for cord wood for ages so i put an add on woodlots. Got a phone call from a guy who has the wood stacked about 10-15 minuts from me. Apart from this one phone call i havent been offered anything else. Slim pickings.

    I'm buying 75+ tonnes of Beech that's been seasoned for 18 months for £2800 plus £150 delivery per load. If it works out exactly 75 tonnes that works out at £1085 per load and roughly £45 per tonne delivered. Not sure if that's a good price or not but round me there is nothing available so its that or nothing.

    Went and had a look at the stack yesterday. Took an axe so I could see how hard the wood is. Every piece I hit was solid still, even the 3-4 inch stuff so even it being out that long has not done anything.

    I've got around 75-80 tonnes of beech turning up over the next few weeks to be split for logs. It's been stacked where it was felled for 18 months and is pretty dry. My question is how long do you have with beech before the wood goes all soft and useless? And what are people selling seasoned hardwood for per cube this year? Cheers tim

    Which pickup?

    I've got up to 5k to spend. So as you say I'll just see what's around here for the money. I've got a Ford dealer about 2 miles from my house which is why I'm leaning towards a ranger. I'm also after a king cab/ super cab so have to see what's around in that configuration.

    tim361 posted a topic in Arb-Trucks

    Firstly I'm new on here so hi all. I've been looking through all the old posts and i can't seem to find any real answers, it always seems to turn into a slagging match between brand loyalists. I'm looking for a pick-up for doing small tree jobs with, delivering logs and for my misses to use around the farm. The obvious choices are a hilux, l200, navara and a ranger. I haven't forgotten a defender, I just don't find them very comfy to drive due to my height. I'd like to know what people can recommend and what positive and negative points you've found through your ownership. Cheers All
