I get gummy eyes and runny nose when processing softwoods
-
I reckon better to put your prices up lose a few customers and work less for the same money. I pay £30 to £55 a ton depending on availability when im looking.
-
it's not entirely a local thing when I started I looked at prices others were asking and I put £25 on top rather than undercut and still got orders. if your doing quality people will buy regardless of price.
-
£90 a cube is cheap £35 a cube cheaper than me and I'm thinking about putting prices up.

tested some beech & birch last week which was felled last august and processed in Feb and it's measuring 16-18% already it's been stored under a tarp which actually stayed on through the winter & seems the mosquito mesh is doing it's job.

Just back from the pallax demo all I can say is diabolical, 50 min walked around not a single member of staff even aproached us attempted a good morning to someone on the rabaud kindling machine that was greeted with a gormless stare but no reply and even worse in all the time I was there not a single machine was in operation. I was interested in the net Shute & the hydraulic cleaner/tumbler but will have to be from a different company I award them 0-10 for customer service.:cursing:

I'd like a multitek, 50% of the timber coming in is 25" to 35" diameter and none of the other brands are doing machinery for this size that I can see but demand isn't high enough for that kind of outlay atm.
-
east third auchterarder ph3 1nj is near their yard from what the flier said. I was going to go down to wilsons but got a call on some timber so went to have a look at that instead.
-
just ordered a polytunnel today 30x90ft with height extensions to stack bags in. after last winters 5 months rain tarps are just not up to the job.
-
any one go to the posch demo last week or going to the pallax one tomorrow. just curious what's new.
-
I'd pick beech everyday ash burns too fast for me and I like a gnarly bit of oak to smoulder over night it doesn't need a couple of years to season if its split late spring as long as the logs are not too chunky its good to go in the autumn.
-
8 bulk out last thursday 2 on friday and 4 to go out on tuesday.

How much discount on unseasoned wood sales?
Logsnstuff replied to adowning7's topic in Firewood forum
I just posted 25% discount for next week on fb, I need bags shifting to erect a polytunnel and I would rather sell them at a discount than waste diesel shifting them around the yard. -
waiting on the last 16 bags of a 38 cube order to go out and just had an order for another 200 nets softwood.
-
rub some chalk over it
-
I was put off buying one because of the need to modify the pallets.
-
Also been thinking of doing coal for a couple of years now and occasional customer asking for peat as well now.
-
Retail £4.90 wholesale £3+vat
-
Thanks could do with a redesign some day though.
-
yes a few times which is why we started using normal bags with holes burned in them + the reduced labour ofc. but they did look good in the yard.
-
I'm sure the other merchants around you will be delighted at someone else happy to break even rather than work for a profit maybe they should get into the grass cutting business.
-
they make the sides a lot more stable also when you want to get 6' - 7' high
-
just adding some more pics to flickr thought I would post these pre vented bag pics also pre processor was all done with posch 30t vertical splitter and pains me to think back how much time I used to waste in a day stacking logs.
-
you see them in dobbies have a t light in the middle.
-
yes the window was to check for ripple. good chance there's been squirrel damage quite a few of them where this tree came from.
