Reward

[TRADITIONAL LOGGERS]

The special wood fuel chipping machine in the pictures was made by AC Price in Bentham and originally owned by the Salcey tree firm.

 

We purchased from them and a while ago it was stolen by ****** ***** and his Traveller mates. (Police Info) The tree world is a small place so I am still offering a decent reward to someone that provides info as to where this is and us having it back to use and the people that stole it going to prison. (We were in the process of producing high grade fuel for the National Forest Visitor Centre green boiler system)

 

It has AVON tyres with a twin axle and a hitch height to go with Unimogs. Original in Yellow but we were painting NATO green to hide. 180HP Mercedes engine and gearbox. It had the business postcode all over the machine.

 

A person did call me and confirm he had it and arranged to meet at Alfreton Industrial Estate but did not turn up.

 

I have much more info but do not wish to post on public forum.

Should have mentioned the wheel tracks left behind are narrow and like those of the old Nissan Cabstar pickup truck. Blue traces of paint with a red oxide undercoat were also dropped. The complete wood fuel machine was over two tons!

The Forum mods have removed the name of the person involved (Data Act) so if you wish to help and would like to know who this is then PM me. (Freedom of Info Act)

 

This should keep all of us happy and legal.

Have you tried scrapyards if special equipment then that's the only place they will make profit

We have looked everywhere although the B*****D who called us said if we did not offer a decent price for our machine back he would consider breaking it for the engine and gearbox:blushing:

 

We know it produces a high grade woodchip as it has a unique spiral blade. Laimet made the chipping section. (With the small size it would produce 40 cubic metres and hour if you can keep up with infeeding)

 

Someone must know where it went to and I am sure it was stolen to be used. Possible in Ireland but also still on the UK mainland.

 

People can PM us and call crimestoppers who also will give cash rewards:thumbup:

Thanks for all the advice and concern. Now people have the name of the person we need to find the machine and who is using it.
