    Picea Konica makes a lovely cone shaped tree but probably to small and slow growing for your purpose. Other alternative is a silver foliage variety but I have forgotten the name. (I know its my age)

    Sorry Rod but that knowledge keeps me one step ahead of the big boys and allows me a niche market place for dry woodchip.

    I have a Crane Frauhoff drawbar trailer on air suspension that I use with my MB Trac . Costed running costs of Artic or 8 wheeler and could not make the figures stack up so now restrict my work range to 25 mile radius with MB Trac.

    Thats the problem wet chip standing around. I would much rather pay for fresh chip by the m3 which is easier to dry. How much do you normally chip in a day. I bet it is nearer 4 IBC's than 35 m3. Practically far easier towing 4 IBC's on an Ifor trailer then messing with a roro skip. My trailer would drop off and collect 32 IBC's at a time so similar capacity to a roro but I do think more practical.

    How about an IBC collection service or is that to much agro chipping into an IBC

    If the site is up with R Turner then it does come with baggage. Have looked at it myself with a guy wanting to grow peppers with me providing the heat but we walked away.

    Your quite welcome to come and try my sliding top browns sawbench and compare it with the rocking action of my palax. If I could find a newer brown sawbench for a reasonable price you could have my old one.

    Understand the position with chainsaws but is it a blanket lone policy. Have recently quoted for diseased rhodie removal using excavator and felling shear instead of chainsaw. Will not be a problem as chipper operator onsite but just thinking if I made a start to get ahead before chipper operator arrived.

    Dont assume you will automatically get the IHT and income tax advantages. HMRC are clamping down on tax avoidance and this includes legitimate use of woodland.

    I picked a 15kw lister engine lighting tower up for £1k and then got the local generator sparky to convert from 110v to 3 phase or 240v which cost me another £350.

    If my latest run in with HMRC is anything to go by then I can shortly see 100 percent black economy as in Greece. Just for the record we apparently are not a farm and do not run a commercial operation. Think they might be in for a bit of a shock when it goes to tribunal.

    Can deliver 32 IBC containers at a time but would need a fork truck to unload. All split logs guaranteed less than 20 percent MC but unfortunately reflected in the price. Would not recommend glasshouse as glass has tendency to break and is impossible to get out of log pile once contaminated.Stick with poly tunnels.

    Bit disappointed. Preferred 2010 but might just be the big toys having an active demonstration area. Also missed the variety of associated biomass stalls I presume cost is the big issue. Even so managed to sort out my shopping list pity I don't have the 20k available to buy it. Even managed to say no to Jonsie for a pair of Meindles for £139.

    Dont be a skinflint there are plenty of old brown sliding top pto sawbenches about with a fully covered blade and log holder. There so safe even your granny could use them without chopping off fingers. Only time they become dangerous is if you take short cuts and decide not to use the log holder. Just remember to put on a slight uphill gradient then the log table automatically slides back and covers the blade due to gravity.
