    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.
  2. arboriculturist
    Much appreciated, they have a decent Komptech with 40" infeed.
  3. arboriculturist
    Nothing to beat them - but the bloke at the botton stand well back!

    Depending on moisture content of roundwood you are chipping Conversion rate is 4-5 M3 chip / Tonne timber

    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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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?
  9. 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!

    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?
  12. arboriculturist
    You're in business now then! Complete with log deck? What ratio soft to hardwood do you process?
  13. 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.

    That's serious quantities - what is the Softwood / Hardwood ratio?
  15. arboriculturist
    Wow, enough said! They say you will never make a fortune working with your hands. To make money from Firewood it needs to be un-touched by human hand - well almost.
  16. arboriculturist
    That's quite understandable - Is his hardwood not so nice?
  17. arboriculturist
    Surely things can't have been that bad! Where do you think you were going wrong?
  18. arboriculturist
    Sorry I missed the posting a while back. Sorry to hear that your post was not well recieved by some. Do you have a Solar Kiln that you dry in bulk with? I am a great supporter of using the power of the elements, but of course not everyone is able to.

    When you first encounter Euroforest, the initial figures quoted will not be what you pay further down the road. They may be large but do not have a monopoly. Plenty of decent cutters out their prepared to give the personal service.

    There is a valuable lesson to be learnt HERE - even. Get your Mrs on the splitter when its enhanced - girls are often quicker than the boys.
  21. arboriculturist
    Sorry for your loss. But joking aside, really need to retrofit a mechanism that requires double handed operation of the splitter. There is a valuable lesson to be learnt hear. Here's to a swift recovery.

    Round this way lots of V. small producers turning out < 100 m3 per annum. This of course adds up to 1000's of m3. In addition I tend to think that as this as a very rural area, a huge number of people who burn wood have access to their own and Farmers also sell a surprising amount of mainly green wood to local people.
  23. arboriculturist
    Last year the mild winter killed business for several I have spoken to. Many out there are only offering 50/50 mix as the hardwood is not being harvested as it was unless you want Chestnut and as many of the smaller outfits are only just buying in timber for the season, that's not to popular.
  24. arboriculturist
    OOps, long day SB £ 25 although it can start higher on occasion.
  25. arboriculturist
    I am sure many on the Forum are interested to learn what numbers others are producing in the industry and I havn't seen this question posted for a while - so here we go. How many cubic metres of firewood did you process in the last 12 months ( reasonable guesstimates please! ) Softwood and Hardwood figures would be a bonus - Thanks
