Hers my typical costings

cord £27 a cube

running of splitter on tractor £2 per cube

running saws £2 per cube

so that gives me a cube of split logs on the truck for around £31

then the delivery based on an average of £5 worth of diesel and another £3 for the running costs on the truck,so dropped on the customers drive im looking at about £40

and selling at £90 gives me a miserly £50, thats without building costs insurance advertising, double handling on what goes in the drying shed and thats without going in to useing the proccessor, yeh goes on and on no wonder I got holes in me boots.

oxfordshire area

Anyone got any for delivery or collection ? netted loose or packed

Thanks

Hi All

could anyone steer me in the direction of a reasonable Insurace company?

It is for a about 6 months of felling some Ash for a local charity

Well im glad to hear the Ash is exceptable for the job,I have already sold hundreds of nets

with no problems so far,does look good in the net all those straight white sticks.

What would be the best Kindling wood for my system ,we start with 12" rounds split them  down then through the machine

proberbly some soft wood?then just need to get my hands on some,we have been useing some straght Ash but the nets are very heavy

although the wood is dry 

Yes thanks guys,I think I will offer £120 a day to start off,and see how it goes,

I always struggle with workers tried everything being nice,being strick ,paying big money,

always end up with the same bums,turn up and look like they have not sleep for a week ,phone in one hand and a can of Red bull in the other.

Hi All,

Could I please ask the going rate for some help with my firewood proccesing?

Day rate ?loading the proccesor,splitting logs on the tractor log splitter,bagging some kindling ect.

Only really a casual job for a month or two,until my Sons back on the scene.

Ah Good point, were HP14 Buckinhamshire J5 m40

Hi All,

Looking to buy in our lighting wood this year,anyone local for good sized nets

I can collect any prices would be good. Ta

I have 3 of the things,none of them read the same,variations of up to 10% so whats the point,always said they were a gimmick,they can tell a soaking wet log from a dry one and thats it,I have already had them come out with the meter, and delivered a few loads and they have left them in a mouldy old wet shed for a week then called me to come and take a look at there now 38%mc logs,,the whole thing is going to be a nightmare

Good post,from one seasoned woodman to another

we switched to vented bags a few years ago,they work very well,wood drys much better than tipping in a barn,they will stack up 3/4 high depending on your loaders lift,they are tipped by placing them on the truck bed,detach the bag and at the bottom of the bag there are two extra tabs hook on them and then lift and the bag flips upside down,then your loaded,very pleased with ours there 3 years old and each one must have been filled 50 times and there still in good shape,as I remember about £7 from ebay...Good luck Chap

So if we make sure we  deliver 20%or lower in the coming years we will be ok

Thaks for that,we sold 225 cube to date this year,so what will happe in 2022?

what will I need to do?

So can anyone put me straight please,in laymans terms

all getting a bit confusing, I season my wood in the stick for a year or so,cut split then barn store for the summer,then it goes out in the winter,around 20%mc

can I carry on or what?or will I be brakeing the law after 2021? Cheers!

Is that with the 20% vat? or plus..

Were paying around £1350

What bar are you using. If you give us the Husqvarna part  number someone will cross reference it

Yes here we go...oregon  130txlbk095 h7  13" .050/1.3cm  .325-56  I think its for a Husky saw, Its an aliminium core lamanated job,and has these tear drop oil outlets,never seen them before...Thanks

Glad you got it sorted. Yes, never push harder than its cutting, the excess force will push the chain against the rails of the bar harder.

 

I've found nearly all bar wear comes from trying to cut with a blunt chain. It's always tempting to try and finish without changing a chain. ?

Yeh thats me rushing to get finished before it gets dark,any ideas on getting a spare bar online, struggling to referance it to anything the same,the oil outlets are a tear drop shape rather that round , just thinking the round holes may not match up with the oiler,I could get one local but very expencive there.
