  1. OK, got it sorted now (I hope) you register as a trader/producer, you use purchase orders etc to show that you are involved in the removal of trees. You then put yourself as your supplier, not the same as a self supplier.
  2. Yes thanks for that, I had read that, BUT, my wood is not "waste" wood, even the EA now accept its "virgin" timber and not a waste product, when the BSL talks about waste wood it refers wood thats been made into things and then scrapped, so genuine waste. The also require so paper work to show where its come from, I guess work instructions or purchase orders for tree removals from local councils may be OK???
  3. Not sure thats good advice. The FC have no interest in what happens to the felled trees or why they were felled, they just want to know the quantity of timber felled, IME.
  4. Do you job over the Christmas holidays, fell half the trees in December and the rest in January, two separate quarters, should not exceed allowance.
  5. Would it not be better to give the splitter its own pump and oil tank, that way you could run it with any tractor, also the tractor would only need to be on tick over, which could save a fair bit of fuel and a engine hours over time.
  6. Be careful, I bought a load of the orange ones a few years ago, I did not use them all quickly, but left them in the sun in my polly tunnel, few months later I came to use them and they just disintegrated UV breaks them down. Would have been even more annoying if I'd gone to the trouble of bagging lots of logs, left them to dry in the sun drying and then had them fall apart when I started moving them.
  7. Not to worry, thanks for trying If no one else comes forward with what they have done, I'll make some calls tomorrow and report back. Arb arisings must be the most sustainable/green fuel there is.
  8. Give over, you'll be telling us theres no Santa next
  9. Maybe, but its a free market and he's being upfront.
  10. Yeah, "top of the range" With a orange rear handle, I think not!!
  11. No, I have a consultant who's doing the paper work, but she has sent me a form and link to guidance, its seems they need a paper trail for where the wood is from, FL, etc. I'll ring her tomorrow and the number you gave me if she can't help. Thanks again
  12. Mine seals perfectly, it would hold fuel for years, it seals so well the sides of the can suck in overnight when the temperature drops.
  13. I think its pretty clear which way the £100 goes
  14. I've 90KW boiler going it the first week in December, just getting all the paper work sorted, how have you guys sorted burning Arb arisings? Do you call it Municipal waste?? seem silly really as its actually Virgin timber, but hey whatever ticks the box.
  15. Yes, if he can get £10K for that TW chipper I want him to sell the next machine I sell for me:sneaky2:
  16. Are any of you self suppliers of fuel, using Arb arisings???
  17. This is my attitude. Old saws are old saws, you can throw money at them and make them run, but the are still old, things get sloppy and lose. I get a new climbing saw every couple of years. My current 201 is great.
  18. Who with a truck would not be??? The rules say if driving not your main work, you don't need it, if that rule is not aimed at the likes of us, who is it for???
  19. I don't mind if the price is my price, not an over inflated price lining the pockets of others.
  20. And you get a reputation for being expensive, so people don't recommend you.
