    Hydraulic briquette press machines are simpler and cheaper then wood pellet machines but still require very dry timber to compress. If you sell logs then briquettes make a very good alternative product for the same woodstove market whereas pellets are more specialist for an automated pellet burning stove or boiler

    David If you did want to use your chassis I would recommend putting a steel walkway deck floor on the trailer. I have converted a mobile office chassis using this decking and it has produced a very sturdy trailer without a large increase in weight. The sheets are not cheap approx £90 for 5mtrs x 1 mtr but they are very strong.

    I would be very careful jumping into the wood pellet market at the moment as an awful lot of new pellet capacity is coming on stream with Balkas starting up an £8 million plant in Yorkshire. On the positive side, what you will soon have is a viable market for woodchip when these big boys start running out of timber. We in theory have got 60k for a pellet plant as part of the Bio Energy Infrastructure Scheme but at the moment DECC have still not refunded the capital expenditure. (You have to pay for the equipment before the money is refunded 3 months later)

    Mr Ed Make one that can process 10,000 tonnes per annum of brash and I can give you the application.

    The Refo is your easy solution the rolls royce of woodchip boilers FARM 2000 Heat from Biomass - wood woodchip straw waste You can use IBC frames with windbreak mesh to reduce fresh arb to below 35% MC but then this forum scoffs at IBC containers

    Not true I have a Merc 814 curtain side 7.5 tonne. Agri exempt and no need for O licence so long as all the goods I carry belong to the farm. ie no doing a barrow job for the next door farmer. Was pulled at Chelford monthly farm auction by an ignorant officer but after 2 hours of arguing and direct contact with the Chadderton VOSA test station I received an apology from the officer and allowed to go. Unfortunately by this time the goods in the auction sale I was after had been sold.

    Still struggling in Lancashire. From user log in it comes up with an error server not found. If you then go out the system and log into arbtalk it lets you log in without having to log on with your username and password and remembers who you are.

    The wood backs on to a council park which does have those problems and the public have a right of way through it being next to a busy main road.

    Anybody have experience of owning a woodland in a town or city. A mature woodland has come up for sale in the local town which I am tempted to buy its just that the location could easily be used by drug addicts, prostitutes etc. Am I being paranoid.

    I have a Mac and have always used Quicken rather than the UK Quickbooks but they withdrew Quicken in 2004 and I now have to download direct from the US.

    Roots strike easier if you score the bark at the point where the branch is pinned to the ground.

    Ideal for burning in a sawdust stove to keep you warm in the winter.

    I have a great respect for all you climbers but this program has not done the profession any favours. The conclusion to the program should have been a professional climber with all the right safety gear climbing the tree and taking out the dead wood as originally highlighted in a safe and effective manner. Instead the public thinks that all tree surgeons carry ladders and those with the longest ladders do the tallest trees. They also glossed over the disposal of the tree when on the previous job the council had to clear his timber away. Another opportunity to show a professional outfit taking the logs away and chipping on site.

    We used to close gateways that were no longer required by layering from each side as a layered branch grew better on the compacted roadway.

    Had a hawthorn prick go through my bottom lip at 4pm by 8pm in A&E having the inside of my lip cut open to extract the thorn. Was told at the time if I had left it to the following day the blood poisoning could have killed me. My advice if it is swelling get to A&E ASAP.

    Sorry but the Environment agency do not make it that easy. You need the guidance notes to form WMAW 01 using the telephone numbers on the links below. http://www.environment-agency.gov.uk/business/sectors/32777.aspx http://www.environment-agency.gov.uk/business/sectors/40051.aspx

    Where has this been clarified as I have just spoken to EA in Sheffield regarding our CHP operation and so long as the tree surgeon is using our IBC containers and selling the woodchip direct to ourselves then a WCL is not required. The invoice to the customer will also declare that you have purchased the tree for a nominal figure and therefore you own the woodchip that has been produced so you are not disposing of the customers waste.

    What an epic read As a farmer I can see why so many have got their knickers in a twist. The legislation came out in 2006 as Agricultural Waste Exemptions but it has also caught the Arb industry. You will need Exemption 21 for Chipping, Exemption 30 for Burning upto 10 tonnes per day. Exemption 12 to turn your woodchip into compost and Exemption 5 if you want to put waste wood on your stove.

    WARNING this pdf is out of date new legislation came in on 15th May 2006 stopping all burning on site unless you have applied to the Environment Agency and received an (Exemption 30) registration farmers had until 15th May 2007 to apply for the exemption. Basically no Exemption 30 licence no 10 tonnes per day allowance to be burnt.

    It was the offside rearmost wheel. Hub shows no sign of wear to suggest loose wheelnuts. The trailer had already travelled from Bolton to Carlisle in the morning and this happened on the way back.
