  1. I should have added £65 per ton for Saw Logs, it was £45-£50 a ton for Firewood grade. Mixed hardwood firewood was £70 a ton and there is a few nice surprises in there that would make good milling as well.
  2. Yeh, that sounds fair but he manages to pick jobs up like this all the time in London. Will be a mornings work.
  3. Can you prove its them though? If you cant then you're showing your hand. They will obviously deny it and then be on the look out for retaliation. Revenge is best served cold so Id personally wait, check out where they have their camera's as surely after they have done something like this they are expecting retaliation and plan your revenge accordingly. Liberally spraying their garden with Round-up would be top of my list.
  4. My Brothers doing a Grinding job early next week. Four 16" Stumps. Chips to be left, £850. £1500 for what you're planning seems crazy.
  5. Bloody hell, thats good news. Like I said I did not put it though that much use really. Last 2 years and I maybe did 2-3 logs with it. Everything was in the first year of ownership really and then I bought my Bandsaw Mill so it took a back-seat. Very interesting that its on par with a 880 though. Was gonna buy a new 880 in the future if I ever started milling big logs again. I always assumed the 880 would have had a good bit more grunt.
  6. I found Milling Beech could be a bitch. Seen sparks fly. Also found a stone in the middle of a Beech, thats always fun.
  7. Its a good saw. Was great for Milling. Are you still gonna re-ring it right away?
  8. No one really seems interested in beech. Shame really.
  9. Very nice. Couple of Hundred each?
  10. Ive lost a lot of faith in Scotland ever managing to go it alone to be honest. Thank goodness we're still in the Union and are leaving the EU, it would be a gut punch to have left the Union and had an independent Scotland only to be dragged back into the EU by crazy Jimmy. A vocal minority of Scottish people also seem to think the answer to all current problems is to lay the blame with the English, unfortunately this sizable minority are big enough to keep the SNP Nazi party in power.
  11. My Logosol Trailer is plated for road use. Designed to keep the Mill and trailer under 750kg so does not need to be braked. Not cheap though but it is perfectly road legal. The Trailer is built by Knott. I have the first Generation B751 though, which is still available. You then order the Trailer though your dealer or cut out the middle man and order direct from either Knott or Logosol in Germany. The Pro version is newer but Id be very surprised if it is not road legal. Speak with Per and he'll keep you right.
  12. Impossible. Been tried for decades and billions poured down the drain in the futile act.
  13. Sent you a PM.
  14. Im on Hermes.co.uk. Maybe because Im outta the country? Anyway, they can argue a chainsaw will full under one of these prohibited items; Gardening and household tools – Unless they are properly protected Sharp instruments – Including Knives, Scissors and Axes
  15. You'd think so but if you're sending a prohibited item maybe not? Will all be in the small print.
  16. Get used to the randomness.
  17. Could not afford the pay cut.
  18. My brother only does the odd tree jobs these days. Just cherry picks the good ones and passes the rest onto his mates. There sure is money to be made in London it seems.
  19. I seriously cant tell if he's being genuine or not? £450 for four days tree work? And had to clear the site as well? He has to be on the wind-up.
  20. 4 days? bloody hell. Thats mental. You seem to have scammed yourself big time there. Id want £450 for the day. My Brother just did a 4 hour tree job in London for £900.
  21. Found you the uk stockist. https://www.globalrecycling.eu/brands/frontier/ American build too.
  22. 50 trees for £450? Thats nine quid a tree! Then all your fuel, oil etc.They certainly seen you coming.
  23. Norwoods new budget range is the Frontier Models I posted above. They have a UK supplier but Im not sure who. Worth calling Norwood and asking.
  24. The Frontier with the Trailer package is a grand dearer than the Woodland mills?
