Thanks Steve for all you hard work again, and it was great to wake up and see I won something too!!

i have 4/6 for smaller and knotty big material, then 8 way for everything else. Although would love a 4 way too

Probably abit far to do a deal, im south coast pretty much

Where abouts are you mate?

I think it might be, its bascially a vertical with 2 off each side at an angle b=but with a gap between where they weld on. You can split stuff 4 ways and 6 if you lower it. Do you have a 4 way?

Has anyone got a 4 way knife for a 400 that they are not using and would sell or swap for a 6 or 8 way. Just thought Id ask before I contact Kilworth

Ta

I was bidding on one of these on eBay last night, which sold for about 220 complete. Would love a go at building one up, maybe swap for some better bearings etc

Im looking at new jacket, the longer arms sound great as Im 6'4, normally medium, so would go for large.

But was wondering how you guys were getting on with them. Some of you must have had them a year by now? Have had 2 Harkies and fancy a change

Cheers

Yup, would probably be good for stakes, but its all mixed in

I have 40 m3 of Mixed Hardwood cut to 2.4m in Dorchester.

Mix of Birch, Chestnut and Beech, and mostly processor sized with some over sized lengths mixed in.

All timber cut from a windblow site in September.

Looking for £40m3

Can arrange delivery at buyers cost,

I have 40 m3 of timber for sale in Dorchester. Mix of Birch, Beech and Chestnut. Let me know if its the sort of thing you looking for

In Dorset, I pay between £37 and £45 plus vat for hardwood, and pay anything from £8 - £12 plus vat for haulage.

I think softwood is roughly £20.

Orders are coming in quicker than I can get them out at the moment with other work commitments. It seems that the hotter the day the more orders I get!

The lad has been busy processing Ash, Hzel and Syc this week. And the phone hasnt stopped ringing so its almost all going straight out!

I run a double cab convoy (04) and its cracking. Starts everytime, cheap to run and insure, and it carries its weight well. I try to keep it as clean as possible, so looks relatively smart, although does need new tipping sides.

Its a shame it has the reputation, but in all honesty i dont really care. I does the job and if you do a good job as well it is irrelvant.

Id check that it was mechanically sound and then go for it mate!

A client of mine has a large quanity of mainy Oak and Alder firewood that they need gone asap.

I havent seen the wood or the site, but have been told theres roughly 80m3. Timber is either cut to 4ft lengths or rung up to roughly 1ft rings. Im unsure on access, on google maps I think you could get an bulker in, but my client is unsure.

PM me if you are interested with your details and Ill pass them on.

Many thanks

Could I ask a question here, I don't "do" or understand this sector....?

 

Am I reading your post correctly?

 

How is it possible / viable to price by m3 of the timber to be moved rather than by the distance / complexity of the route?

 

Is it standard practice to price by volume?

It is standard practice in my area, North Dorset and I have always paid or quoted by volume, keeps everything fair. Further the distance or trickier the timber the more it costs per metre to extract.

The volumes should be stated on the felling license, so you should roughly know what will be coming out, so you can work it out from there. This only changes for very small volumes, ie less then 15 cubic metres for example.

If we get asked to do felling work, we are noramlly paid a cubic metre rate to fell and extract.

I pay or charge roughly between £7 and £11 per cubic metre to extract to roadside. The machines I noramlly require a min volume. As many have also said it also depends on extraction route and ground conditions. I have heard of prices up to £21 a metre for a long tricky extraction. It maybe that the extractor may even take the wood as full or part payment. Where abouts are you?

Need someone to come in an extract a small quantity of timber from a wood.

All timber under 10" is stacked, and everything is cut to 2.3m Haul is rouhgly 200m.

Wont be a whole days work for a competant driver, but willing to pay extrs to get it done.

Could have future work in area, as I have been let down.

I need a new tip for a 24" husky bar. I seen replacements before but not sure where to buy them. Tried my local dealer but think it maybe a dead end
