    don't panick skyhuck, i dont work for free!!!!!!!!!!!!! sometimes at a loss, but not for free i didn't cut down the tree. i just "recycle" the wood, which was delivered to me. deliver the wood on monday, so get paid then, and only cut it up so the buyer can split himself so was a quick job to reduce down into manageable pieces

    i agree. less wood= easier to tie nets=quicker to fill bags=more profit, less time

    we all have our own preferences for machinery, and they all have their own faults or un-favourable operating procedures, i've used many chippers from exenco, entec, bandit, premier, timberwolf, jenson, vermieer, heizohack and the spiral one. they are all different and the best one is the one which has the least amount of personaly anoying faults that you can put up with. its all horses for courses, and its the same with all machinery including firewood machinery, chainsaws and trucks. personly i buy on aftersales service and back up as a prority after i've found the machine i like best suited to my needs and easily maintained. IMO nobody makes the best... its the most suitable for you. i own a heizohack btw

    DONT BUY A KODAK. nothing but problems with it, had it over a year. bought a hp all in one FP4280 for under £30 and its fantastic. good quality photo prints too and it came with full ink tanks not the usual taster inks which last 10 seconds

    logs can be hard work and space to keep the dry is a neccessity, but idiot proof it is not. as you say tractors break down and the machines are'nt the strongest built things and then you find out the staff has not set the right length on the machine and it all has to be cut again, it also gets quite tedious after a while and motivation drops

    is that llangennith on the gower or rhossili?

    why not put splitter next to log pile and throw them? i feel it may be a waste of money to buy a conveyor to only move the wood 3-5 meters
  22. firewoodman
    how do you split your logs at the mo?
  23. firewoodman
    why is it when you are really busy in work, all the machinery will break down but when its quiet and no rush on, everything works fine why do all government organisations find the most difficult and complicated ways to do the simplest of things?????????
