Made a new tending point, credit to Dmc for the idea. Seems to work pretty well Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
-
pleased with mine so far, added a small shackle to the tending hole to make it easier to clip into, but thinking about making a small cord attachment point around the top link

Started a hedge removal, 7 trees done today and 5 truck loads of chips. 3 phone lines, power cable, carport, fences and some other obstacles for good measure. Reckon there will be 3 tractor and trailer loads of timber on the last day Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

12mm marlow rigging line is what we use, cheap and fairly durable

I found an old petzl swivel at the yard so using that on my bridge for the moment. ive added a small shackle in the hole that you connect your chest harness to as its slightly easier to clip in and out of

Been using cougar blue with mine on the next size down bollard. Seems to flow nicely and feels strangely like a hitch. Ascent is very quick compared to the wrench Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
-
I've spliced loads of hitch cords, usually about 70cm in length I generally halve the measurements required as each leg of the cord is carrying half the load. Not that I recommend this as it goes against the manufacturers recommendations and would suggest that if you don't really understand what your doing then then best stick with tested tolerances Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

where in dorset are you? what sort of money did you pay for it? it probably would be better on the roofmount, but I don't want it to tie up the tractor as I would be running and feeding a heizohack chipper at the same time

what diameter timber would a lasco cone splitter mounted on a 3 tonne excavator be capable of splitting down?, would it handle 6ft long, 3 ft diameter lumps of pine? or would a wood cracker be more suitable for the task thanks john

contract chipping and value of g30 woodchip
John Shutler replied to John Shutler's topic in Business Management
thanks for the thoughts so far, im not looking to compete with the larger guys just provide a service for smaller setups locally. as much as anything its only to find another use for the machine other than our site clearance work. ive a meeting on Wednesday at a local estate who produce their own chip for their boiler but are also looking at expanding etc and may be interested in buying some chip -
sometimes its nice to leave deadwood, much like sometimes its nice to ride a bike round a village with no clothes on
-
so the process of thinking about a larger chipper for my valmet to speed up our site clearance jobs has made me think about a sideline in contract chipping for people with biomass boilers and the possibility of selling chip to a company that sells dried chip to boiler owners what rate would you look for, for chipping peoples timber into their chip store of trailer?, this will be done with a valmet with roofmount and either a heizohack 6-300 or 8-400 also if chipping my own timber into a trailer provided by the chip purchaser, what rate per tonne should I look for?. this will be g30 chip would moisture content of the chip alter the price? im assuming both rates will be per tonne? thanks john
-
im looking at getting a pto chipper that has a maximum rpm of 750. my valmet has two options, 540 or 1000. is there someway I can run inbetween thanks john
