Rytec are having a firewood demo day at Malton , near York this Friday

Have a look at there website for more details

I use a corn duckting pipe it clamps together you can add lengths or different angle bends and cheap to buy

So that is what you are thinking about when feeding the chipper

I thought you were thinking of ways to speed the job up

Where to the cafe for full breakfast or into the snow ?

Best thing in the witton castle area is the a68 cafe at the top of the hill

Is it worth chipping just to sell , or more just to get rid of it

I have been telling them " This number is a classified military instalation and how did you get this number" they soon put the phone down and dont call back

We are looking into something similar at the moment

There is a large corn trailer that is for sale , that has had a false vented floor put in at some time

That gave us the idea for drying chip and logs , just have to make one now to see if it will work ok

Does anyone run a large aquatherme or woodfire inset boiler stove

They seem to be a cheapish high output boiler but are they any good ?

Richmond north yorkshire the apf was held there a few years ago

Stolen over the weekend a posch s 3000 firewood prosseser from zetland estate north yorkshire

Hi i am looking for a cundy peeler if anyone knows of one for sale

Every time i go out delivering logs at the moment i see a new guy or girl has started

So i started counting them in a 15 mile radius , i got 15 doing 100 plus tonnes , and at a guess another 20 - 30 doing less

It seems like my area is saturated with log suppliers , yet it hasnt affected trade at all even by putting the price up

How many in your 15 mile radius ?

Gray git that setup looks very familiar !!! yes it is an 8-400

I have been asked to chip wet timber into a shed around 30cube approx around 15 ft high

He has been told that if you shut the doors and vent the top it will dry quicker , i tried to tell him , but he wants to try it

Some french guy told him

Has anyone heard of this before

I have a 30t posch splitter they are good but , i havent used it for over a year , you have to cut the timber to fit the machine and sort it out from the rest of the pile

I think if you had a wagon full of big timber it would come into its own

At the moment i use a palax and ring anything up to 16" anything bigger is ringed and put through a quick pedastel splitter

The big posch is up for sale possibly

AC Price

Just ordered some blades from saturn machine knives there is a 4 week waiting list for them

You can chip any timber you want as long as it is metal and mud free

The blades will last a few hundred tonnes without needing to be replaced , you can sharpen in the machine with a small angle grinder very carefully and only a couple of times . The blades are fairly cheap so just bin them after that

You can chip in very cold conditions , the scandanavians do , in extreme frosts the ice does blunt the blades quicker

John

I have never seen one with a bar fitted

I took my wire off to crane feed i found i was loosing time resetting it every couple of miutes

John the safety bar is a safety wire now

Palax combi without a doubt

The cheapest place to buy a blade from is caledonian forestry for your palax bennets is a little more but i find it cuts better they make them from slightly thicker metal so they tend not wobble at speed so much

They can retooth as well but you loose a bit of diameter

i think they said it was a third of the price of a new one to retooth

Mr T aylor have you tried Ernest Bennets in Darlington

They can do any size blade they did our last 5ft dia blade

They do my palax blades , and they make them , i have one on order at the moment i will let you know an exact price but around £500

Brushcutter why do you say the extension can be a pain

Do you all use the standard valve block controls ?

Does anyone run a botex 580 , i am going to get a roof mount mainly for feeding a chipper so i could do with the extra reach

Talking to John Wilson he recommends i go for the 570 ???
