    Just make sure you are using white diesel on the highway.
  2. arboriculturist
    This timber is not accessible at this point in time, sorry.
  3. arboriculturist
    Sorry, as someone kindly pointed out - 400m3 of product.
  4. arboriculturist
    Exactly !
  5. arboriculturist
    Not looking good then, but thanks for your advice.
  6. arboriculturist
    Every time - but you can't get a timber trailer into the back garden of Mrs Smith's semi !

    Agreed- the Beast, absolute waste of time for biomass - good for conposting though. Southern wood energy's chipper will handle the size, and the screen should do the rest - in theory. I'll call them up.
  8. arboriculturist
    Ideal.
  9. arboriculturist
    Like I say, never make a good return if you manually handle timber and investing 35K in machinery, which will handle 800mm dia. arb. waste is definitely a non starter. A sensible train of thought to many people of course.

    Rings 8 - 12" long.

    Was that road open for business below the tree?
  12. arboriculturist
    Sorry - more m3 of woodchip from a tonne of timber at 20% moisture than at 60%, as there is greater volume in dry wood - if that makes sense.
  13. arboriculturist
    Much appreciated, they have a decent Komptech with 40" infeed.
  14. arboriculturist
    Nothing to beat them - but the bloke at the botton stand well back!
  15. arboriculturist
    Depending on moisture content of roundwood you are chipping Conversion rate is 4-5 M3 chip / Tonne timber
  16. arboriculturist
    Ideal I'll make a note of this. I heard those boys go anywhere there's chipping. I'll mention your name. Thanks

    Looking for someone in Devon who has the kit to contract chip 100 tonnes of Hardwood rings. Beech, Oak etc up to 4' diameter to G30/50. So 400 tonnes of product. Could Lasco the larger rings up if required. Any replies would be appreciated.
  18. arboriculturist
    No expense spared then. Bet you didn't like the banging with the Posch on that Larger hardwood, apparently it does no harm. We should all be burning more softwood of course.
  19. arboriculturist
    Ah, thanks for that. Depends a lot on the diameter of course. Who does your chipping, I know there are some good guys down your way?
  20. arboriculturist
    Excellent, good to hear your support for biomass. I expect you stack outside for 12 months to get moisture level down to 30% 'ish? Do you get it contract chipped?

    I don't think petrol will flow from the groove with the groove horizontal, but will pass through the pump while sitting on its base as petrol has far less viscosity than chain oil. Oil passage obstructed or faulty pump!
  22. arboriculturist
    You dry it and chip it - but a few thousand tonnes of chip would heat the Houses of Parliament! What do you use it for if you don't mind ne asking?
  23. arboriculturist
    You're in business now then! Complete with log deck? What ratio soft to hardwood do you process?
  24. arboriculturist
    Fill up oil tank, take bar and chain off, start saw, hold saw with oil dispensing groove uppermost, rev saw 1/2 revs 15 seconds. If oil does not overflow from groove then a blockage between tank and groove or faulty pump. If under guarantee take it back with the paperwork. If not you need to know what you are doing or look on youtube. Good luck.
  25. arboriculturist
    That's serious quantities - what is the Softwood / Hardwood ratio?
