Tunnels far better than bags - need to know Planning legislation if you wish to sleep well.

How to work out the weight of log and chip ?
arboriculturist replied to tree man john's topic in Arb-Trucks
Chip ave. 1/2 t / m3 Hardwood 1 t / m3 Hope that helps - just a guide of course. -
Oooh Solicitors! - why not track the bloke down and have a chat in the 1st instance.
-
Bags would be my last choice for drying logs, we don't dry the washing in bags either - perhaps think about it yourself. Good luck.

Can't comment on your patch but no it's not you. I friend of mine had someone with a similar name to him pasted on a white transit was seen doing work on an estate he manages - never caught up with the white van though. Nothing against 'free enterprise' but I think you need to track this fellow down asap and agree a solution to protect your business.

This is where I sent our team - ex army gortex. For the money nothing out there to touch it. Need to regularly to Nikwax it in the W Machine though.
-
What would you say is the average weight of a load of Hardwood on an 8 wheeler timber lorry?
-
Not as difficult to register as claimed. In addition depending on where your principles sit - your partner/wife/husband or whoever owns the woodland gets the cert. and you buy off them - simple as that. Provided you are both reg. as self-employed that's it - no need to overcomplicate in this case as all of this is relative elementary.

I am just thought someone may make a list of 10 different extraction rates for different sites - having discarded those rates which are high / low extremes - divide by 10 to give an approximate average price.

Strange how some things never change! What sort of 'average' price per tonne (given all the variables) is the going rate to forward from Harvester stacks to roadside?

The more Posts appear, the better picture you get of what is good or bad. It seems many types of equipment get bad reports purely because they have been poorly maintained - with all due respect 'some' Farrmers are not known to put maintenance high on the agenda.
-
In that case - maybe wise to avoid buying one that is ex. Farm!

Just spoke to local Ag Engineer - He said brakes on Merlos poor because they use calipers like a car! Advised JCB's very bulky machines but fair apart from that. Manitou's were at the top of his list for all round machine.
-
It appears that at this moment in time, Manitou and JCB seem the best machines for the task required - keep your posts coming though as it is good to know how specific models compare! Looking to spend 10 - 15K.
-
I'll remember that - thanks.
-
I see now why you need 2 machines - 1 is never enough.
-
Which Teletruck do you have?
-
There seem to be 1 or 2 - 526's around the 10K mark with 7.5k on the clock and looking tidy. Seems reasonable price for a lot of machine. New seat, tidy up and a good clean and possibly an older machine could be jbetter value than paying 20K for a newer model that will do not much more?
-
Which models did you have in mind? Thanks
-
Used 3/4 tonne 4m mixed surface
-
That's a very neat compact machine with a small footprint so best on a flat concrete surface as you say. What is it like with 1/2 a tonne at 2.5 metres stacking 3 high? Perhaps it will go to 4 high?
-
I was advised that many by Merlo's because they are less expensive. The same engineer said Manitou are one of the best out there.
-
If you asked the question who make the best Professional Chainsaws, possibly the reply would be Husky and Stihl, followed by 2 or 3 others, then the rest. We are looking to gather data on the pros and cons of small telehandlers for handling containerised timber. I know they have all got their strong and weak points but if would anyone care to put forward their views it would be much appreciated and possibly of interest to others on the Forum.

The problem with a high Bark content product is that a lot of Chip Boilers will not cope with the build up of Clinker unless they have chain and flight de-ashing. So this is something you need to consider carefully if you wish to promote a Quality product to the end user and retain them in future.
