How big are those slabs?

Not so big. 18”-24” wide depending on the log. 2”, 2-/14” and 3” thick. 2m to 3m long. Maybe longer? 
 

Think that’s to much green? I’ll most likely sticker them and sell them seasoned anyway.

Treat your self to a new lunch box then 🤣

Might be an idea. My Transformer one is over 35 years old now.

Managed to knock out over 40 slabs. All 2-3”.

One log had some “Roughty Rot”. The Farmer can keep them. 🤣


 

“Roughty rot”. Lovely.  Will steal that phrase, living as we do on the banks of the Roughty River!

Some Milling at a customers today. To some it’s Brown Oak, to me it’s just Oak. 🤣

 

Splitting the timber with the owner. Works for me.

Did you like that avant loader ?? i had a simular sized loader for sale about 6 wk ago, it was a Kremar not the pretty,est loader but it started and did what it was built for, it was a very handy sized machine, i offered it to a few lads for £1800 and ended up with 2 of them bidding each other up, a loader of that size sure makes life easier and faster,

I love the Avant. It’s the new 750 and can lift over a ton easy. The Log grab really makes it. Can position a log at almost any angle then gently drop onto the bunks. Not mine unfortunately.

 

He sold his last 650 that was battered to death for not a significant amount under what he paid for it. They hold their value very well.

 

I do need my own loader though, yours sounds like it would have been perfect.
