No I use them, they're less than a bulk bag so I reckon only actually half a cube. And yes probably wouldn't last very long if moving them a lot

You'll only buy it well if you've got, or can get artic access. Unless you can find someone with a rigid but hard to find. Or try and find a local estate who will sell you decent cordwood per m2 that you can collect in your own trailer.

He's cheap, and cuts trees! And bet he can carry more kit and chip than the average tipper😂 Probably does house removals too, what else could you need from your tree guy😎😂

I had a boss years back who used to run transits with trailers of various types, (not overloaded of coure!!!) he always said 'make sure your lights on the truck and trailer are working before you set off, they only need a bulb out (or you've forgotton to plug trailer in at all!) as an excuse to pull you, then they'll check absolutely everything' And yes clean up any woodchip on the cab or anything loose in the back and you've a fair chance they won't pull you in the first place

I'm a feller not a climber so can't comment on this, but have questioned climbers a number of times 'I could fell this tree through that gap, why are you climbing it' Never witnessed a bad accident fortunately Gravity is an amazing thing, if you cut at the bottom it'll always come down. Sure some climbers just think everything has to be climbed. Interesting what has been pointed out, the first thing with WAH is do you need to be WAH? Poor lad, hope he recovers and finds himself a new or slightly different career.

I've got premier inn and travelodge card Plus can claim up to £25 total for dinner and breakfast. Most do a evening meal/breakfast deal when you book which is generally around £25. No alcohol covered by the company. Plus £5/day for lunch. I find it works OK.

Good job we didn't get it dirty before it's maiden voyage! You weren't too bad didn't even need L plates😂

Larger haulage companies (eg eddie stobart I believe?) and sure I've seen it advertised on a bus, offer to put you through relevent driving tests. They must have a tried and tested legal way of doing this? Could look into how these types of companies do it and then obviously tweak it to suit your business? OK different industry, different size business but same principle?

Nice! Where is that? Just wondering how far Wallace timber travel

Think Stubby asked op this before he's not in Rustington sussex.

Looks blunt to me but pics of a few cutters from above I'd be able to tell for sure. guess someone else used it till it was blunt then sold it. 0.375" is the pitch, in either 16" or 18" length. Get a new chain and report back!

As a couple of others have said, I found (and the trainer told me) they are watching how safety conscious you are. Fill up before you start as leaving a tree with a wedge cut out to go and fill up will fail you, along with walking right close behind a tree you've started the back cut on (and obviously don't walk round the side of the tree that is coming down!) Also once you've started the saw even with chain brake on dont be tempted to flex the chain to check tension. My cuts weren't perfect, the trainer passed me as he saw I was aware of safety and what was going on. He then said do you want to stay on for an hour or so after the test(which I passed) so I can show you how to improve your felling techniques. If they see you're happy to learn that'll go a long way in your favour, not just 'I know all this stuff already' Good luck you'll be fine

I sent you a DM on here but whatsapp/text me if its easier

This might be a better step up if you're used to buying in small bags from supermarket etc. Keep an eye out for 'logs for sale' signs nearby or speak to friends/neighbours who have fires, or a quick Google search If you can buy bulk bag or loose loads by the m3 from a proper log merchant it'll be much better stuff and cheaper than supermarkets, and for now easier than processing/drying your own.

Cheers sweet chestnut. I'll send you a message👍
