AGA stoves are made in the far east, quality is now very much worse than it was some years ago. Stick to well known British or European brands whose products are not made in China or similar, dont buy it online. Morso Squirrel is one of my most popular ranges, look after it and will get 35 years out of it. A

I would guess that there is maybe 40-45 cube there once processed,hard to asses the hard-soft split and it is it will take some shifting unless you have a skip and a loader. Looks like there might be some more inside the shed on the right as well. Price, depends on what you are currently paying for delivered cord less the cost of transport. I would be tempted to agree a price per processed cube and then process it up on site and transport it in cu meter bags. That way everything is above board and there is no guess work. A

Split it above 50mm dia, water cant get out through the bark. Then burns fine, but as mentioned a better price may be obtained from wood turners. A

Talk to Nick Channing here, he will supply and deliver about 27 tons at a time. A

There is a willow coppice harvesting and pelleting operation near Newark, where are you. A

Dangerous boughs/trees on a shoot estate.
Alycidon replied to blazer's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
Agreed, I run a somewhat smaller shoot. All this should be covered in the shoot risk assessment. Shoot organiser is responsible usually. No keeper will mind having you in his woods from Feb 2 through to early May, birds generally only use the outside 30 yards. A -
I would buy a small used processor, about 2cube an hour at 240mm length, comfortably. Its also tax deductible. A
-
If no other offers come forward I might be interested in buying it. I am in Northants, would probably need Nick to shift it and he wont be able to get his truck to my pile till Mid April at best so not the optimum solution for you. A
-
What sort of quantity, are you able/willing to collect or do you require delivery, are you able to offload pallets at your end using a fork truck, telehandler etc. A

Moving the soil that they sit in is the best way to kill them if you get at them with a tractor. A

There is a thread in General ref tarps, there is a link posted to a guy who will make whatever size you want. http://www.tarpaulinsuk.com/ A

Providing you load them with dry fuel. A

Its not far out, long logs,tall heap. A

Looks like asbestos side panels to me as well. A

Yes pics would help as would pedigree details. I used to own a bitch from your area, a Flyline bitch. Good honest worker, always retrieved partridges and rabbits 2 at a time. She was a big one. A

Did mum rear them all or did you do a few on a bottle ?. A

This time of year is very iffy putting a loaded truck onto soft ground, getting it stuck is very bad news as you not only need a big tractor to get it out you may damage the chassis in the process. Last winter the driver of my local poo tanker got a 28 ton 8x2 stuck on some pretty dry sandy field with grass on top, down a very slight slope. I hung a 160hp 4 WD John Deere on the front, it did get him out but it struggled. A

Nick Channor here could sort you out, its good timber, I am maybe 20 miles south of you and can show you a pile of just under 80 tons he delivered to me last autumn. His loads are around 27 tons, his truck is 44 ton all up so have a look for weight limit bridges and any bridges below about 16 feet as he cant get under them loaded. If in your travels you come across a pretty local timber haulier please advise me, sometimes I come across batches of timber close to hand that would not be economical to get Nick up to shift. A

Hopefully you have bought your Esse from your local Esse dealer who gave you sound and sensible advice on fuel, maybe he even offered to supply some for you. ( I am an Esse dealer !!). An awfull lot of new stove owners have no experiance at all of open fires and no idea of the importance of wood quality. I saw some Ash being delivered last week, the guy later told me he had bought it as seasoned and ready to burn, judging by the colour of the moss on it that tree was still growing the week before. A
-
Plenty !!. Get it processed into arb bags, then you will know exactly. Process into heaps will lead to lots of rubbish (bark/chips etc) when you get down the pile, customers don't like rubbish. A

Love to but its just to far to be viable for me. A

About 2600-2700. A

In the mid 70s I ran a bearing distribution site for a major company. Our preferred brands were English and European, ( RHP, SKF, Fafnir, INA etc). Price in the market place forced to use firstly Japanese and latterly eastern european bearings for the OE customers we were tendering to. The OE buyers are driven by one thing, price. We never had a single warranty claim on any of the bearings we sold. The chinese can make good gear, the problem is we go over there demanding rock bottom prices so we get rock bottom quality. I am aware that in some sections of some industries they are providing an excellent product but I am not aware of the situation with their bearings. Taper roller bearings generally are a pretty robust type of bearing, on an odd occasion I have seen some break up when the case hardening shears. I would not worry about it. A
