    Happy to hear you support the brand! Since the day I bought the Posch I have not spent a penny on it - its been a dream of a machine! It's still basically as good as new. I am surprised at the very low depreciation and it is still a very attractive machine for anyone. Going to get the screen to add to conveyer this time round until we fabricate a decent tumbler

    Our Processor is 3 years old and Wilson's are offering a good deal to upgrade to a new 360. I was not keen to get to the stage of spending money on a depreciating machine, as up to now it has had a clean bill of health. Do most of you re-new your processor after 3 years? Any replies appreciated.

    N. B. Jonny L from up your way comes down this way most weeks.

    Larch / Douglas / Cedar
  5. arboriculturist
    It is John - a lot of the Larch has been cleaned up and most hardwoods available is woodland thinnings - not much good for processing into firewood unless you enjoy using a chainsaw and standing at a splitter for weeks on end!

    Believe it or not, it's Very hard to find reliable suppliers. TCD spot on but has none at present.

    Can collect with 8 wheeler from roadside. Thanks

    Anyone out there got any processor size Hard / Soft Roundwood for Firewood in Devon or Cornwall roadside?

    So did you manage to add a 2nd Eco Angus within 12 months and get it on the same RHI tariff level as you 1st boiler? OOh and I can see Arb. waste works for you 1m - 40m3 25m - 100m3. Thumbs up for that one.
  13. arboriculturist
    I'll second that:biggrin:
  14. arboriculturist
    Thanks for that

    I spoke to 'Farm 2000' about 3 months ago - decent knowledgeable people. That window is closing fast as you say, but with Solar Thermal I could open another. One or 2 on the Forum have been shrewd enough and employed energy conservation efficiency to make it work. Drying timescales will vary of course but the possibilities are there.

    Glen F - Yes
  18. arboriculturist
    Agreed - extra 20 or 30 would help
  19. arboriculturist
    I would be the last to recommend an uninsulated structure and 220 seems very little on finance. What I am amazed is that you produce enough dry arb waste to dry 1000 tonnes. Most Arb. waste is large thick rings and random lengths of cord, far to thick to air dry even in 12 months ?
  20. arboriculturist
    Good to see you back on the forum. Many of the views over the last few months on the pros and cons appear to be based on your extensive efforts over the years and your comments above are extremely interesting from my perspective. Have you a view on Solar Thermal used to dry timber ? I am sure you have explored every avenue in previous years. The RHI is at a premium as you know of course.
  21. arboriculturist
    Not wishing to be negative, but is there a decent margin in mobile processing after you factor in all the running costs, maintenance, machinery replacement / labour etc. ?
  22. arboriculturist
    Sorry - could you elaborate ?
  23. arboriculturist
    Are you saying that an investment of say 36K for a Glen Farrow setup would be worth it without the RHI payments and you would have spent that amount of money to Kiln dry your firewood ?
  24. arboriculturist
    I think you will find it is a common conifer - impossible to ID with the images you have provided.

    Economies of scale: those who have the resources, business nuance, etc to be in a position to hold stock can react to demand practically overnight, just like they have always done. Those who are unable to meet these criteria have a flawed business model. Never be in a position where you a forced to turn away business - one of the golden rules of running a successfull enterprise. However, having a kiln makes life easier for some I am led to believe.
