  1. By white woods do you mean Sycamore and Ash. Is your building just a roofed over structure with logs heaped on pallets or divided up in crates? Thanks
  2. I have noticed on the Forum in the past, that quite a few stack their timber covered in an exposed place intentionally, so you could suggest that wind speeds have a significant influence on wood drying times.
  3. Point taken, but how do you explain a saturated bath towel hung on the washing line 8am yesterday was bone dry by 4pm?
  4. Busness booming then - Let us know if you run short as we have plenty of the type with a nice white fluffy coating!
  5. plenty of sweet chestnut about but i suspect you wont be wanting that?
  6. Need to live on a 'high hill' to have that dried and ready for sale this year!
  7. Well nice to have the science behind the process. I'll haul some up the hill tomorrow armed with the 2 pronged calculator for testing, knock both ends out the old dog kennel, load up with logs and report back in due course.
  8. Ah, so that's the answer for all the Sycamore and Oak logs with the lovely white mould all over it - get it sheeted down up on the hill!
  9. One of the boys said a customer of JAS Pprocessed a batch of their wrapped netted pallets of Hardwood up on the hill with just a tarp over, open each end dried from unseasoned to 20% moisture level in 3 months in the winter months! Is this an Insane claim - or a possibility?
  10. Anyone know of any used Potato boxes for sale in Devon and what is the going rate these days? Thanks
  11. We have that with a J. Deere then. We need a knife configuration with more than 28 sections, as those logs look too large for the majority of people with small woodburners these days. A compromise I expect, as I suspect would be limited to say 600mm log ring diameter the more knives in the splitting fabrication. Ping me your mobile and I will call you up when you have a minute.
  12. Sorry, I did not realise you were part of Home Forestry. What HP Tractor is required to power the 80 - fogetting about moving it about? Thanks Worth coming up to APF just to see it in action.
  13. Ah Thanks - but what is the price? !!! I'm thinking 40K
  14. Are Forest Machine Services the UK distributor? Thanks
  15. Ah Thanks. You may have a ball park figure what it costs?
  16. Is there one of these in the UK you have heard of?
  17. Is there one of these in the UK would you know?
  18. Nothing wrong with 'milking' ! New England takes a lot of beating - the old saying 'You get what you ..... Thanks for posting.
  19. Need it in some sort of vice Pete - those 1/4 pitch chains need a touch more precision than most of us are used to these days. Make sure chain is tight up for the operation of course, dont want any rocking and rolling. You can do it!
