so it's exempt from needing an operator license but not a tachograph, if you haul anything ready for sale/reward you must have a tachgraph.

I don't know where he's getting the money to buy kilns and sell at that price, also heard Angus logs have expanded hugely and bought over 1,000 tons this year for processing. the other puzzle is where are they advertising I haven't seen much not that I buy papers often. dupplin are looking to expand their sales by 40% this year and RTS are looking at a minimum to double up theirs.

That's the S G Baker 1m3 bags when you stand next to them they seem huge.

D K logs at Aberfeldy selling 4m3 for £220 delivered kiln dried, heard he's 1 month behind on deliveries and about to fit a 2nd kiln so guess that's where majority of my customers have gone I can't compete at those prices. I delivered 2 1m3 bags of oak out today air dried 17.2% £120 each

have you checked out this tacho exempt with vosa?

-3 just now lets hope this finally gets the phone ringing. 2 barrow bags and 10 nets all that's booked for today atm.

I have only a dozen or so customers who rely on wood for heat, majority of my customers only use the fire for effect, they are all on gas/oil so I don't expect the price to alter my sales much.

temperatures back up at 10 degrees

I do free delivery so I would have to pay them to let me deliver.

Doesn't work as good.

are you going to post us a copy of it?

it's chain oil to put on the slide

promises promises, soon be spring.

we went down the route of the 2.4m posch splitter, you can get guides to bridge between the channel and the splitting blade for short logs, we tend to split the bigger rings on this 25"+ split into 4 and then finish them on a vertical. theres a video from about 7 years ago when we were experimenting with it.

just the first year at 100 tons you will soon put a value on your labour, it's not just 4k for the timber and then there's the machinery cost new saws, ppe for the family splitter, tractor. presumably you have basic learning of the saw but what about the other machinery not that I'm a fan of hse but I have seen people do some stupid things. I didn't mean buying seasoned timber from a merchant but getting one on hire to process it for you as several people on here seem to hire themselves out. their experience should get it done far quicker than your going to manage on a weekend, or at least getting the bulk of it done with a bit left to play with. I might have missed size of timber your going to cut I see talk of 24" bars I would call that mid level and a big saw would be once your over the 30", we use 15" and 18" for 60% of what we cut 24" for about 35% and 36" and 48" only if there's no other options. it can be fun to wield a monster bar for a half dozen cuts then you want to go small again.

if the daily express is right last week, we have a winter coming to rival 1947 where we had snowdrifts here 18 - 20ft deep, ill be happy with just a long frost get me out of this mud.

but if the gulf stream was to change and the flow from the north atlantic drift changed we would also have colder winters.

100 ton a year + the equipment + the education time to learn all the mistakes you can make, would it not be better to do a few more hours at the day job and buy your fuel from a merchant. gotta be cheaper for someone to come on site with equipment and you can get your exercise from stacking the pile they create.

we get the same thing and after you explain to them about weights and volumes, moisture contents etc they still go and buy from the cheapest load they can find, quite satisfying when they call you up 2 weeks later because those logs don't burn. I do think half the stupid calls we get are other merchants trying to be sneaky fishing for information instead of just saying im joe bloggs from down the road, we are not holding nuclear secrets we would still answer their questions.

made a deal with euroforest about 6 weeks ago for all the hardwood on one of their clearfells due to start soon, drove past the site today all felled and cleared without a stick appearing in our yard. also discovered 2 new merchants in the area yesterday, think that's 5 new firewood merchants this year alone within 20 miles of us, all chasing the same timber 2 estates and 3 farms.

your price doesn't seem expensive to me, I wholesale £65 + vat for 3/4 cube if you take 100 bags, otherwise £70.80 + vat or £94 retail. £120 for a cube bag.

we have done the same thing 1m extensions to lift the height, 3ft mesh around the base extra wide openings so no doors unless custom made, hang some old tarps just to keep the worst of the rain out. beech which in march you could literally watch the water running out the end of the timber is now measuring 18%.

75m3 on order yesterday. still waiting for some frost we are still hovering around 12 degrees daytime.
