  4. Does anybody know of the nordheat biomass boilers , i was talking to a fella today telling me that these boilers run on anything up to g100 including fines and any woody type fuel , and can get the RHI is this possible http://www.futurum at northallerton
  5. There wasnt that much waste today , but i do think my old farmi would almost produce the same How is your customer getting on with his farmi
  6. just spent the afternoon feeding the laimet chipper , hell it needs some power , i tried everything , but couldnt do anything with it I started in 540 at 2000 revs put a 2", 6 footer in and it chipped nicely so i moved on to a 3" with a 6" butt end and it stalled it, anything more than 4" just stopped the tractor dead very nice chip for chp though
  7. Dosent sound odd , every night i get tea ready , put them to bed , which does seem to be getting later every few months , then go into the workshop for a couple of hours A mate of mine told me to enjoy every second with them , because it wont be long till they have other interests and daddy isnt the centre of there little world anymore
  8. We used to use a zettylmyer {small pivot steer volvo } They are very cheap good ground clearance , fairly good in the woods , with good hydraulic power You can run splitters from it and probably a hydraulic flail
  9. Your right the whole day revolves around time Having to drop them of bang on time , and every minuite counts in the day Get the job finished as quick as you can , no matter what Then that horrible journey home , hoping that there wont be a traffic jam ahead Getting to school to pick them up , on time , with a big sigh For them to say whats for tea { if only they knew}
  10. I can bribe them to help deliver logs, but trying to get them to sit in a tractor for 8 to 10 hrs , i dont think i could cope with the barrage of questions , or the arguments So i get Grey Git to drive , i sit at home with feet up The only problem i have with grey git [ and its a bigy] is he will keep changing the radio station Should i thretten him with the sack, or use violence ?
  11. Same here wife works , luckily summer is my quietest time Good old grandma

  13. Thanks, i dont want to get caught out
  14. good it was brought up today at the soliceters I rent half a farm , house and workshops and store tractor and chipper in a shed , do you recon i would need to pay bussines rates on this
  15. I left my logging yard 3 years ago and have stopped selling logs Do i have to pay back business rates if i get pulled up
  16. I gave up the rent on my yard nearly years ago now , the new guy was wanting to move in straight away , so we struck up a verbal deal that he would buy my remaining stock of approx 2-3 wagons of dry lengths stored inside for 2 years, loads of rings and a bit of mess to clean up deal done, as he only had 2 weeks to leave his old yard , thought i was helping him out i did. Sent him the bill and waited , cant afford it at the moment , he said He paid 2 small cheques then nothing , he dosent answer his phone, i told him if he cant afford it , to at least pay some , nothing I text him i will have to take you to court , nothing All the logs i have sold i have only had 1 loss , a bounced cheque for £80 It would have to be the last load i sold The sad thing is he was a mate of mine What should i do ????? GRRRRRR
  17. yes they are very good i had one it just fell to bits and it allways left some in I think the tipper conversion was about 3k with a split swinging board to seperate 2 single loads you could back down a narrow alley and tip without getting out just a yank on a rope to unlatch the back door I was difficult to tip in garages a few close calls tipping inside and of course when the logs came out the pickup would rise 6" or so
  18. I got thinking , my best purchase to do with firewood has got to be my tipping pickup . It would take about 15 to 20 mins to through out 1.5 cube of logs , the pickup would hold 3 cube and take about 30 secs to empty Whats your best buy ??
  19. Thanks for that very interesting
  20. It does seem to be that way , but no tacho or hgv licence ???
  21. Agricultural processing vehicles These are specialist agricultural vehicles that: (a) are used for the conveyance of built-in machinery for processing agricultural, horticultural or forestry produce that is used while the vehicle is stationary (b) are used on public roads only for proceeding to and from the place where that machinery is to be used, and © when so proceeding do not carry any load except such as is necessary for their propulsion or for the operation of the processing machinery This category includes mobile seed cleaning machines or feed milling machines.
  22. Dont i could just eat some now fish chips and mushy peas please
  23. Does anyone run a chip truck on the forum I was talking to a fella in the know today , that you can run them on red , dont need a tacho and dont need a hgv licence I dont want to open a can of worms and i know it is a loop hole but people are doing it
  24. Hmm not sure , dont do it certainly springs to mind Number 1 you have to enjoy splitting logs , if you dont enjoy hard work dont start Number 2 Ther are lots of ways to split logs eg big proccesers and splitters , these are very expensive , ive been there lots of overheads and quick throughput , you can make a lot of money with a sawbench and splitter Last year i used the mconnel and splitter to split 4 pickups in the day £200 per pickup BIG ISNT ALLWAYS BEST Number 3 Got to be safety , in my time i only grazzed my finger once , thats with no guards on anything and a modified splitter so if you are accident prone dont start and be happy
