I own a Toyota Dyna, it's a great truck and looks fantastic, I get on 3 builders bags delivered loose.

Thanks, for your reply

Thanks's I was looking for something that would give protection as well.

Hi can someone please recommend a good pair of safety gloves to wear when operating a Jappa 700. Thanks

All done! good luck

Just to say, thanks for all the PM's the beech is sold

Hi Craig, I thinks it sold, I will know on Wednesday, I will post a reply if it sold. Matthew

Hi Dave, PM received, I have sent a reply. Thanks Matthew

I have 20 tons of beech cordwood for sale felled in October. The size is 8.5ft long and diameter's from 5" - 13", I am based in the East Midlands. Please PM for more details. Thanks

It burns very quickly if well seasoned, but gives off a good heat, I would mix it with other wood and not sell it by itself.

Welcome, I joined last year, it's been a great help.

I agree no help at all !

It look's great, any idea of cost?

Not a problem getting the wood as it belongs to a friend of mine, had a good first day due to go back again over the next few weeks.

That's great news, thanks

I have access to a forest with fallen down ash tree’s ( I think they have been down a while), I’ve been to look at it today, the tree’s I have been looking at have fallen and are off the ground. If the trees are not rotten do you think that once they are split they will be ready this season ?. Thanks

I know that is a very very long shot but I thought I would give it a go, does any one know where I could get 10 - 20 tons of hard wood that I can process that would be ready to sell this season ? I am based in Nottinghamshire. I am aware that rocking horse s*** is easier to find but working on the theory that if you don't ask you will never no, I thought I would give it a go. Many thanks

I already have someone in mind, who has helped me in the winter on a part time basis.

I have a machine a Jappa 700.

I wonder if any one can help, I am thinking about hiring someone to help process wood, I have insurance in place but was wondering if any one had a template for a contract I could use to give him. Thanks

I have Toyota Dyna tipper, when it snowed I put the snow chains on !. Worked a traet.

I joined this forum last year, as I had just started my own firewood business. Over the last 12 months I have logged in most days and checked the many threads to learn from the experts. This web site has given me invaluable advice - from buying a moisture to meter to finding out what Ash looks like !. I started selling firewood in 2008 due to unemployment; my previous profession had been hit hard by the recession. I had absolutely no idea about selling firewood, I bought a 2nd hand Jappa 700 from Sweden (I flew over to check it out although I had no idea what I was looking at) a tractor from eBay (again no idea what I should be looking for) and managed to find a great wood supplier. After almost 2 years out of my original profession I managed to find a job, but I’m still keeping the log business going. When I started I was delivering in my Toyota Rav 4 with a very small trailer, I have bought a Toyota Dyna tipper which I love and have moved to a larger space to process the wood and have taken on part time help. The point of this thread is say thank you to everyone who unbeknown to them via their posts have helped me set up a great business.

I got mine from Maplin. It works a treat !

Thanks for the advice, will give it a go and report back.
