  2. You are doing better than me. Exchange a subscribe for a subscribe ?
  3. I've got about 6 beech planks that are 2" thick, about 20" wide, and 10' long, if you fancy a trip to Pembrokeshire.
  4. A 8 tonne digger with grab will handle all the timber, and be able to sort it. How will you get it to trackside for lorry uplift? What it is the quality of the timber like? Saw logs will get you the biggest return, but until they are felled you wont know the quality. Extraction distance is the killer, Monkeybusiness's point about working from the furthest point is a good one. Do you have access to reliable cutters that can work to your spec. Do you have financial reserves to last a couple of months before the money starts to come in.
  5. 99 times out of a 100, you are right. But the 1 time a device makes all the difference.
  6. It doesn't matter what species, split and seasoned those logs will keep you warm.
  7. Those GRX grabs are a formidable bit of kit.
  8. What is the small black one below the lung wort?
  9. Those bell chockers are not very good on small diameter wood, they have an annoying tendency to slip off. But they are much easier to unchock when you have pulled down a load of bramble with the timber.
  10. Having this at the end of the valley where we are working, was too good to miss. #Dullasditchwater
  11. £50-£70 roadside plus transport. If transport is more than £40 per tonne, then it is too far away. Do you have any forestry companies near you, try them first.
  12. Sharpham Rustic, full fat Jersey milk, oh yeah. Or Caws Teifi Saval, rind washed caerphilly ,stinky but not overpowering like Stinking Bishop
