    Thanks for the info. yes those drags are great units. The access here is perfect for standard 8 wheeler delivering - it is just finding reliable Hauliers and roundwood suppliers! I am sure there are some in the South West - DO YOU OR ANYONE KNOW ANY ???
  2. arboriculturist
    How long does it take you to do an 8 wheeler load (17.5 T) of decent hardwood; in say 2 shifts ?
  3. arboriculturist
    Totally agree - looking at reducing or better still removing maintanance wherever possible.
  4. arboriculturist
    I wish I was. All I get is promises. I am optimistic things may improve as i've got a few new posts started that may bear fruit - I live in hope.

    If you are a Cutter or Harvesting Contractor working in the South West I would be pleased to hear from you with a view to purchasing processor sized roundwood if you sell this spec. timber. Similarly if anyone can recommend reliable individuals as above who may be able to oblige, please post or PM me. Any replies appreciated.
  6. arboriculturist
    Access down this way is limited, Artic restrictions on several roads, however I am working on improving access to an area I have in the future.

    I have been trying to get some roadside timber hauled 30 miles for 10 days now without success - so it's time to take a different approach. If you are a reliable Timber Haulier with an 8 wheeler and cover Devon, Cornwall, South West Somerset / Dorset - please post. Likewise if anyone knows a reliable Haulier please post their details or PM me. It will be a huge relief to be able to make a phone call and arrange a collection or delivery of timber loads. ( or maybe this is not a reality?). Any replies much appreciated.

    I can see what you mean! If you ever move down this way be prepared; hauliers I have encountered are the most elusive people I have ever tried to contact.
  9. arboriculturist
    The current machine is a Posch, so just replacement with new. Perfect machine with the right timber.
  10. arboriculturist
    I'll need luck or something similar to actually witness actual processor size turning up. The last 2 loads took 25% of time to process the good stuff and 75% of time working on the rest! This is not going to be easy with hardwoods.
  11. arboriculturist
    Other processors will handle larger diameters as you know, so what persuaded you to buy the Posch?
  12. arboriculturist
    They lift off perfectly.
  13. arboriculturist
    I am amazed that knowone has roadside Softwood down in Devon or Cornwall - even the big boys don't appear to be able to oblige If anyone knows different please post. The Haulage kills it from further afield, apart from perhaps South West Somerset / Dorset.
  14. arboriculturist
    These days it appears that many like to see you roll up with nice shiny gear - another reason for changing the machine ?
  15. arboriculturist
    That's impressive! The 3200 is a nice machine. A 360 is not that larger capacity of course. In future I only plan to buy only from those who supply the exact timber I want ; You look after me and I'll look after you scenario!
  16. arboriculturist
    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
  17. arboriculturist
    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.
  18. arboriculturist
    N. B. Jonny L from up your way comes down this way most weeks.
  19. arboriculturist
    Larch / Douglas / Cedar
  20. 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!
  21. arboriculturist
    Believe it or not, it's Very hard to find reliable suppliers. TCD spot on but has none at present.
  22. arboriculturist
    Can collect with 8 wheeler from roadside. Thanks
  23. arboriculturist
    Anyone out there got any processor size Hard / Soft Roundwood for Firewood in Devon or Cornwall roadside?
  24. arboriculturist
    He's had a rough few days, those sinister viruses hammer the human body! GW soon:001_smile:

    If it's a stretch for you - i'll put up 1/2 the money:thumbup1:
