Call it criminal but i’ve had and got lots of oversized arb ash and beech that gets sent off for biomass. 

 

Too busy contracting to do logs and it wouldnt pay to get someone to do it!

 

silly situation realy but it is what it is

The problem (or good news depending on your point of view) with all the massive chippers about is that they can justify paying the same price on any diameter wood whereas firewood costs increase drastically when you have to split it down so it would be hard to justify not selling it for biomass to be honest.

Big bits of elm today, and that time of year again, working in the dark

Not a bad couple of weeks cutting, had to get through a lot of small stuff but we're on nice ash now and it's flying through.

Been ringing up some big stuff before a mate comes with his vertical splitter today.

Spud ported 576 on top of the job.

See you have a all round vision cab, nothing like 2wd tractor to test you driving skills.

We're a bit slow on sales but we're still cutting plenty. Was just about getting up the hill in the snow yesterday. ?

 

On a side note we just finished cutting 175 ton of smaller diameter (average 10inch) beech and ash and it made 310cube when dry if that's of interest to anyone.
