  1. This is a common problem, how much to charge as there is allways someone who will do it cheaper. If you have your own tracked chipper, van, fuel, saws and insurance plus climber and groundsman then i think you would be looking at 450- 500 per day. this is only my opinion though.
  2. Ive had a 66 for 5 years and run a 36" bar and i have had no problems (touch wood), i sometimes put a 25" bar on it and the power is awesome.

    Which Boots

    I have been using Haix Tibet forrest boots for years and i think they are great but i have allways found that in winter when its cold my feet are like ice blocks, can any body recommend warm boots please.
  5. i sell cut, split, and seasoned for 12 mths hardwood, £ 75 for 1.5 cubic meters. people turn there noses up and then buy 2 cube of fresh conifer for £100 and think they got a good deal. i live in the lakes and there are loads of people up here selling rubbish, but they tell the customer on the phone that its seasoned and ready to burn and the customer believes them.
  6. Im on my 3rd landy, they are awesome. im lucky that i have a plenty of places to dump chip around my way as it wont hold as much as my transit but it will go anywhere and at the moment its awesome in the snow and ice.
