look in thread of log storage, page 2 in firewood forum, can stack 3 high and real easy to repair
-
mouldy?? what your customers doing with them, eating them or burning them?? seriously though i use those bags and have now gone away from them to using rylock fencing on pallets...personal choice
-
nah mate, they are staying with you, easy pickings over there apparently
-
filmed in south wales in abegavenny and newport (welsh tcc site actually) and yes it is a fat bloke. they even get dan to climb a tree and he dont like heights
-
you feel ripped off... buy a firewood processor then. to be honest though, if you cant afford your safety gear there must be a problem within the business. work out your expenses over the year, divide it by the amount of workable days, add on your profit margin and then work out your hourly rate........ too cheap on your pricing or are your expenses too high????
-
smaller, and less or no demos camping is the best part.....if they stop that i wont go at all, camped there every year since it moved from newbury
-
untill you can take the cold no more!!!!!

sorry buzz, i should've mentioned that i crane feed the brash in, so we do stuff the opening quite full. there is no problem with the machine, it just should not be crane fed! excellent machine for biomass. paid £18000 new. there was one in forestry journal for sale

tried it, tested it, used it, abused it. does what it says on the tin. if putting a tractor on the trailer, then make sure the ramps are secured properly, they have a habit of vibrating off when tractor is on top side of trailer, riko did modify that to stop it happening. all in all very good for what it is designed for how much commision did you say for a good review?????

got a hm5-400 3pt linkage, its only a 16" but it does work well, easy to maintain and change blades (5 blades are only £10 each) and good aftersales from fuelwood, never delt with ac price. for wood fuel it is good for a specific size chip and is fairly fast, but for tree surgeons they find it slow on the brash, but it is actually quite fast. it just does not have enough weight in the top roller to break the brash down when feeding, but price do an add on for that. oh heavy machine that one is 2.5 ton and we need a front weight when on the road to balance. i quite like it an prefrer it over the junkari and farmi chippers. just dont get used enough.

i camped there last year and there was no rubbish left by us or others in the area i was in. we were asked to move in the morning:thumbdown: for the cars to park but they never used the field we were camped in. they did'nt like fires either, but as ours was raised on a metal sheet and contained in a b+q garden incinerator they did not as us to put it out. one year we had a lamb on a spit for the friday night, it was lovvveelllyy:001_tt1:

lucky kids, never done that stuff before but would love to learn. closest i've ever been is flying a hawk that was'nt intrested in catching anything
-
have seen that the dalen is fast but what put me off was it was almost twice the price of the japa, and for me ,at the time money was talking
-
got a hakki and a japa. looked at a dalen but thought they were pricey hakki, japa and palax are all owned by the the same holding company i dont think there is a "best" machine out there. it is all about what you want and can afford. they all go wrong and who can get the parts to you the quickest. mine are next day with both machines and free consultation on telephone to diagnose probs and ensure right part sent out and how to fit if needed. enough said i think. talk to a current owner first and check locations to supplier on feed back too i am in cardiff and fuelwood are in warwick and m.large in belfast both next day.... guarenteed before 3pm ish (calling them) on all occasions
-
i borrowed a mates and it was a twahat to start...brand new too evry time i pulled it it nearly tore my hand off it was so hard and stiff (oohh err misses) have heard something about the pistons/cranks going bacwards on the bigger saws including 3120s, although never had this prob with a 3120 and i am a stihl man
-
who is your local dealer for palax????
-
valid point there steve... i just increase the dry wood price every season to compensate. if the following years are to be similar to this one for demand then dry wood will be king at this time of year jan/feb/march
-
thats what i use... not my photo but i stack them up 3 high and to empty them i just tip them over or undo the join...they dry pretty quick too. does take some time to organise the crates though just split all into a big barn at the mo
-
yes i do. its only fair as not had to pay the rent on storing the wood in the barn. but on reflection weather the wood is fresh or seasoned, hard or softwood, it is still the same amount of work that goes in to it
-
so how do you cook the three varieties then?
-
they got caught on the hinges of the dropsides as the gates swung in the wind as the owners let go of them. pulled them right off the wall
-
i've got an aarrow sm70, had it 13yrs. my opinion... i would not get another aarrow spares for older stoves do not exist, you have to botch a job with the spares from other newer stoves, as sent and told by aarrow. glass seals always need replacing almost as soon as you put them in and the door rope every year. as for heating the house... mainly a room heater and the wood is free.. free heat
-
or drive out of their drive and take their gates with you, hanging off the back of the truck:blushing: kept that customer though!
-
nah you wont......you'll lose them if you lie about the product, you get more respect if you are upfont and honest with them.
-
i sell it as "a softwood" emphasis on the "a" burns alright when seasoned, maybe a little fast but gives off some good heat, can also dry quick.
