To be honest I was chipping bigger stuff than usual though because I've had enough this week of chainsawing bent pieces to get them through the processor...

Haha. know that feeling but dont have the option to chip it.

Yeah, we're quite lucky that we've got a woodchip customer who pays by the kW so it pays to chip hardwood unlike most contracts.

Another typical job

Been chainsawing up a load of softwood to put through my processors splitter. Been getting some hard frosts each morning and I'm down South, so winter is certainly upon us, I personally can't wait!!

Mild as anything here in suffolk still

Some nice straight spruce and scots pine with the old splitter that claimed a finger 25 years ago

We are in Hertfordshire, this morning was a harsh frost, the country roads leading to the farm were a little slippery with the ice aswell

Last of the 2 loads of hardwood delivered on the yard tonight. Lots of oversized included which isnt too good, but on the bright side, both lorries where full before they reached 25 tonne.

 

Next on the chop list.

Lots going on here on my small scale. I've collected a few tons of oak, been splitting oak and ash, bagged a few up ready to sell and started converting an old diesel tank stand into a bagging frame. I've also divided up the piles with some scrap gates from a farm sale, total cost for 3 £5!

ive also sold both my log splitters!

im going back to the fiskars x21 and x27 until I buy or build my ideal log splitter- self powered, towable, vertical, about 4ft high table with a about 2 square meters of space so you don't have to keep bending down every minute.

Chipping softwood today, the weather was appalling with a constant stream of dust and bark blowing at me so I'm glad I could do it from the cab for the most part.

How big a ring does the fiskars cope with? My bog standard splitting axe is useless over 12” really. Wouldn’t mind splitting some oversize by hand if it was doable and save buying a vertical splitter?
