Not sad but just sort of remembering all that hard , but happy work I used to really enjoy the hard work when i was younger In the last few years it has gone from 3 or 4 of us in the area to around 12 people doing logs and most of them kiln dried I left the estate 3 years ago , and now sit on my fat arse chipping biomass 5 or 6 days a week , and loving it , i get to take my daughters to school , and best of all nobody telling me what to do well exept for the wife , and my daughters
-
Thats it for me , sold my tipper pickup , sold the palax , no more commerical log sales I split my first load of logs the first week at work on the estate with a mconnel saw bench ( which i still have ) at the age of 16 , i spent years splitting dead elms . So 31 years latter and i guess around 31 thousand tons of logs , i am going to call it a day
-
300 hp ? what have you had done to that ?
-
valtra or thinking of it anyway
-
I am going to use a jake plate , the dealer says it wont affect the lease looking at 400bhp
-
Does anyone have any thoughts on leasing large equipment , good or bad I am thinking of leasing a tractor for chipping
-
Yes its very slow and lots of waste
-
I think most of the people that went were already in the trade , target the farmers or landowners For people in the trade , we have seen it all before we need something new At the apf one of the busiest stands I thought was the drone stand and what they can do
-
Just an update on the chip quality I tried a g50 screen in , and lowered the revs down but to no avail The guy bought a laimet chipper and is now selling sieved fuel The quality is very good, he is one of a very few in the country to be able to supply this type of fuel http://www.goodechip
-
Yes its a shame they didn't advertise better I was supposed to be demoing the heizohack there , they told me the day before that they had forgotten to do the hse or something like that so they cancelled me
-
I use 1 already I need way more torque to undo them
-
that's the one I want it to remove the bolts on the chipper instead of a lump of scaffold bar
-
Norbar torque multiplier , are they as good as they look and do you think they are worth the cost
-
I am planning to change my set up latter this year , im looking for a 9 or 10 meter reach crane to fit onto a jake plate to feed the chipper I don't need a big lift as most of the timber is dry , I am looking for a fluid motion to feed it I am using a botex roofmount at the moment
-
You some times get a ball of greenery that refuses to go through if you push the end of the next one in , it will push it through the chipper I used to alternate a lot of greenery then a more solid bit of wood through to clear it You need to keep the revs up as it will still fill the outlet chute very quickly Is it a new machine that has the new split percentage option on the computer this may help
-
Does anyone know of a tractor powered machine to make shavings for bedding I seem to remember something at the apf a few years ago A guy that I chip for thinks it will be easier to buy the timber in the round and convert into shavings on site I could use electric model and a generator Or does anyone already offer this service in the York area thanks
-
nice Your machines are getting bigger every time Let me know when you are running it , I have a job for you
-
One of my customers is now suplying dried and graded chip for the chp boilers He is using a laimet chipper , based in the north of England For more information look at his website goodechip
-
I wouldn't chip it for biomass , the bark tends to hold the wet and rotts very quickly , some of the bark can be an inch thick When it is chipped the rotten bark just goes to mush One of my customers has around 400 tons of 24 inch to mix in with softwood its a nightmare Maybe smaller diameter fresh may be ok
-
Give AC Price a ring Alex is on the ball and probably knows where there is one that is about to be part exchanged , a lot of them are sold before advertising
-
No its for real , its just unbelievable I feel so much at ease with them patrolling my local town We also have the police intercepter series in the area as well
-
Has anyone seen this on a Thursday or Friday night on bbc 3 Sparta security
-
That's why I need the bigger tractor To carry more bait , git did you notice if it had a fridge in the valtra s
-
Grey git if you give me your card details I promise after I have bought the new tractor I will delete all details for you , no problem
-
Yes me too , are you going to move it with the tractor
