Any 1 dealt with Glen Farrow wood kilns?
arboriculturist replied to R5log's topic in Large equipment
These have been covered in detail recently on the Forum. Batch Boilers will not meet the RHI emissions criteria when run on max output. If you wish to be certain that those payments will continue, you need to ensure you install a system that complies with the regulations - so we are looking at wood chip / pellet boilers. -
You are barking up the wrong tree - if you want wood to dry fast - no more than 1 metre blocks - no ifs or buts. Good luck.
-
That a sturdy looking piece of work, just needs some sides to stop the few logs which escape off the screen. Like the use of dumper also, as if you are smart you can get rid of the remainder of the undersize material that gets past the screener before you containerise the split logs.

chainsaw clutch drum needle roller lubrication?
arboriculturist replied to David Heaf's topic in Chainsaws
"The clutch roller bearing only comes in to play when saw is idling" Exactly! - says it all really. -
Tajfun are no to produce a clean product - perhaps make up a template based on the TJ and get the gas axe going on the Posch - see no reason why not.
-
Never been certain if JAS P make the screen thenselves, they must as not seen anywhere in Posch cat or website. I would recommend enhancing theirs with a longer screen incorporating rollers - this should screen out >90% splinters etc. Fabrication usually time consuming - modification fast ( generally that is) If you are in the business for the long haul galvanising ideal, but most of us will be 6ft under before anything we make falls apart.

Forestry buildings in woodland
arboriculturist replied to hawk eye's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
That sounds like an ingenious building design - any chance of a Photo or 2? -
Buy in 10ltres from Local Husq wholesaler. Shop around though but carriage usually kills the best deal online.
-
Used Husky Lo Smoke from day 1. No reservations whatsoever in Husky or Stihl.
-
Sure, we planned to raise complete setup by 300mm.
-
They are over £400 now. Lot of labour to make your own, running around for components etc. so agreed worth the money to improve the finished product. They are certainly well built as I found out when I tried to pick one up at the AA Trade Fair. We thought about raising processor and tractor by 300mm or so.
-
That setup pretty much ticks all the boxes - handles oversize, processes, screens and loads. Will the crane set up feed the splitter and processor at the same time? Did you buy screener same time as processor off JAS of did was it fitted to your previous Posch. They seem expensive, but do you find the grid as too short to sift out the debris or perfect and worth the money? Thanks

Has the Valtra a forward PTO?
-
I have heard of many people making their own Processor Screeners - anyone got any pics of theirs?
-
JAS P have them in stock, but the price may put you off, although they are good build quality.

Reipal Tree Jack urgently required
arboriculturist replied to TimberCutterDartmoor's topic in General chat
Sure, not the easiest of sites and now the rain is here. Hope it all goes to plan. -
Fair comment. Fortunately you have the in-house equipment already and timber available to perhaps support a business model that gives a worthwhile return over the longer term.
-
Wow! 15m3 hardwood into rings in 2.5 hrs - hope he can keep it up.

Reipal Tree Jack urgently required
arboriculturist replied to TimberCutterDartmoor's topic in General chat
Those robust galvanised Logosol jacks are a bargain at the price! Very surprised more people don't use one - extremely versatile also. If you can't find one John, we'll come and tip those 'leaners' over for you and take them away as well for free! -
How will you crosscut the massive amount of large diameter timber that is required to process to make the purchase of this machine a viable investment?
-
Not sure that the maths does give the result that you are hoping for. We are looking at an insane amount of crosscutting oversize timber to a consistent length, then individually loading each ring into the machine. A contest with the Rabaud F80 VERSUS a Posch 360 with log deck, sub 300mm Roundwood and experienced operator - there will be no photo finish - Posch every time. Agreed the F80 has its place somewhere, quality build - but for the very very few, not the mass market.
-
At around 30K with conveyor, the return on your investment will never stack up unless you have around 3 teams bring back oversize constantly. Also consider the Tractor HP to run it and a loading unit with grab. So easy to go down the same route as farm contractors, with 100's K's of machinery and an annual net profit of less than a builder's labourer (no disrespect to the BL's)
-
If delivering around Plymouth yes. anywhere else forget it as transport makes it uneconomic.
-
Well done for raising the game.

Or he may be a start up who knows no better. He could actually benefit from you having a chat with him.
