    Sour felling is not a term that is talked about very often, athough research has shown it can reduce the timber moisture levels.
  2. arboriculturist
    £ 8 per tonne? !
  3. arboriculturist
    How do you stack on flat and secure without bolsters?
  4. arboriculturist
    What are they paying if you don't mind me asking?

    The going rate per m3 for arctic loads of G50 chip seems to vary a lot in the SWest. Have you a figure in mind? Thanks
  6. arboriculturist
    I though you had a large scale setup down there, perhaps space with you is limited, which is why you need to buy in? I assume your boilers cope nicely with G50?
  7. arboriculturist
    If you were starting from scratch would you always produce G30 spec and get it contract chipped or is there a better business model? Good or bad, I always err on the side of a consistent quality product.

    I've been paying £195 HAULAGE for a 2 1/4 hour round trip unloaded to unloaded - maybe that is fair and your man is loosing money?

    RenewableJohn speaks words of wisdom - many would be wise to listen and learn.

    Does he have an hourly rate for his rig?
  12. arboriculturist
    Well that puts things into perspective!
  13. arboriculturist
    £250 sounds good - up to what distance?
  14. arboriculturist
    So grab load Hardwood 17.5 tonne on 8 wheeler approx? That sounds extremely inexpensive. I don't begrudge hauliers earning a decent living, we all hope for that.
  15. arboriculturist
    Do you put that down to fuel costs?
  16. arboriculturist
    It seems that some hauliers charge a set rate per load or per tonne and others charge by the hour for the lorry. Distance for the set rate doesn't always affect the price wether 10 miles or 40. We paid £195 set rate per load 25 miles distance and the same for a load 9 miles away. What is the going rate in your area?
  17. arboriculturist
    what sort of costs are involved with your setup? Thanks
  18. arboriculturist
    go on youtube - lots of online tutorials - Oil pump/tank replacement Good luck!

    It will if it is Western Red Cedar, but end of the hedge if Leyland Cypress!

    Have you still got the kiln running without RHI ?
  21. arboriculturist
    This is a good idea, however any additional handling adds massively to overheads, plus you need the capital to invest in timber whereas those running a drier can practically buy in a load at a time and dry.
  22. arboriculturist
    If you are planning to invest in a system to dry firewood, depending on how you wish to run your business, there is far more to complying with the RHI criteria than you would imagine. The team at LogPro include those with real expertise in this area and they have declined to promote LogPro further, but are working on another robust system. Batch boilers currently available in the UK (those that run on lumps of wood) will not meet the emissions criteria when run with a full load of wood. Therefore should the same RHI auditing that occurs in parts of Europe is implimented in the UK, you may encounter issues when an audit takes place. There is also the possibility of historic RHI payments claimed being sought to be recovered by enforcement. Personally I feel the risk is too great. In summary - If you wish to dry wood, let the wind do the drying or invest in a woodchip boiler installation for which you will need considerable capital. Good luck.

    Thanks for that data-brilliant

    The cutters I have dealt with get the product to you when they say they will - that is a big plus point when you are working with windows in the weather.

    The cycle time seems slower on the video, but may be running slower speed. With the table and 4 way blade that is a splitter to be reckoned with. Some will shy away from the price but nothing can compare for build quality.
