Bit of humour is good for the soul.

Bit of progress on the trailer today Andy, A frame etc is mocked up and the indespension units are ready to go on. Measured it up from tow bar to back and it came out at 24ft so a decent length and pretty much confirms in my mind the benefit of a twin axle set up. Getting a quote from highland coatings to get the whole thing galvanised but not yet 100% on that as opposed to a pot of hammerite. I'll get some pics over once it's a bit further on.

Cool, really looking forward to the pictures.   

 

I know Woodlands, Logosol and Norwood sell their Trailer package as under 750kg total inc the Sawhead. This is to remain brakeless. Would being twin axle affect this? If you're over 750 what is your plans?

I figured I'd be close or poss slightly over Andy with the whole package so went for braked units. Slightly more expensive but not prohibitively so. Hoping to come in at around £1200 but I've not skimped on the size and thickness of the steel and if I'd gone single axle I probably could have knocked a bit off that.

What would you charge for something like the Chestnut Ive poorly tried to explain? The guy did say it will go to the Sleeper man and he'd make about £400 a ton off of it. So I have little leeway. 

He's talking shyt.
You can't get 20 sleepers from a ton.
Green sleepers are about 50kg.
I'd love to see the sawmill with 100% efficiency.
The norm is 40%.
The big s.chestnut you describe is worth milling.
Rot, cavitys, inclusions all add to the character.
It probably is fucked as far as standard boards go, but with a bucket or two of resin....
5'x10' table tops mmmm.[emoji106]
Mill it thick or it will probably fall apart.
75-150mm.

Will you be getting it certified? Im hearing all new trailers need to be type approved?
