Thanks. I am on the look out for one or else a Hakki 1x37.

some off todays logging, been using the palax just as a log splitter filled the truck twice on me tod, automated the splitter with few pully ropes to speed up production

How do you get on with the Palax?

I have that one.

Run it on my MF 160.

Do you mean 165? or 168? Or have you got a very unusual tractor

Fitted a Dovre 250 in our living room last October. We were also limited by existing fireplace size, but this fitted perfectly. Its very efficent and heats a large badly insulated room no bother. Good firebox size and good ashbox.

Would definitly buy another.

Why do some feel they have too continually put others down in an effort too make them selfs feel more of a pro

 

Are they really sooooooooo insecure??

I agree. I doubt if anybody is perfect.

Looks neat! who sells it?

Surreyarborist?

These are the only people that i know of the do the nets and the frames

Thanks for that

when i lived in Norway we use to pack firewood in nets on Euro pallets using a steel frame that fitted over the pallet and stretched the net open. It was a realy good system for storing and drying firewood the pallet alows air to pass under the wood so it drys from all sides

 

To keep it dry we stacked them 3 high in a square of nine palletswith air space in between in a clearing in the wood next to the farm. Then we over layed corrigated roffing tin on top to keep the rain off and then we droped some big logs on top to stop the tins blowing off. Becuase it was in a clearing the wind did not blow rain in from the side because it was quite sheltered.

 

The system work well over thier however the stacks were covered in snow for 6 months of the year so i dont know how well it would work well over heer.

 

Oh and the Scottish Paintball Centre has a whole load of those IBC frames dumped in the dyke back that they removed from the big square tanks. they use the tanks as baricades

Something like this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2WzrsFKuGk&eurl=http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=5642&page=2

Do you know where these nets can be sourced?

The nearest I can see in the UK is the Posch Packfix palleting system. Jas P Wilson have an ex-demo machine for sale.

 

 

 

However I have seen elsewhere in this forum a great idea using a pallet and some ryloc net fencing. Just as effective and a good deal cheaper. Can any clever forumers find the link?

Is this what you mean?

This looks like a good simple system..

As far as I know, Tom imports bigab into the UK.

Saw this on another site..

10 ton hook lift

500/50.17 tyres

8 stud 300/150 brakes[hydraulic]

hydraulic axle stands

Crane is rated at 500kgs at 6.5 m

its on a point frame so you can take it off and put on 3 point tractor linkages

can also mount chipper on back of crane €17,747

As I said - I am open to all suggestions. What do you think is sensible bearing in mind that the log stacks are often tucked away behind the garage etc.

I throw logs loose in an open shed and find they are fine after a year. I would imagine if you stack wet logs tightly in the wrong conditions they still wont be dry in 3 years. Just my opinion! I aint no expert!

What I sell is irrelevant to this debate - "if you recommend the customer dries fresh wood for 2-3 years before burning, then the stuff you sell should be of the same quality." Why should it? As long as I tell them these logs were a tree last week and that they will need to keep them for 2-3 years before they will be fit to burn then there will be no surprises and I will still have a happy customer. It is not what we sell that matters - it is how we sell it!

But do they really have to keep it for this long before burning?

Dont forget to throw in the "First field dressing" Steve.

ok mate.....well 2 options really...you could auction it off on the site and the winner pays the money direct to the charity or see if anyone wants to swap prizes for something that may be of use to you

Auction away mate. Make another few quid for the charity. No point gathering dust on a shelf on my shed

i dont know, i meant to phone him today! there was brief mention of the first example of a new piece of equipment they are bringing out, he didnt tell me what though.

Well I'm in Ireland and I'm not involved in the Arb industry so maybe you could give my prizes to someone that would in turn make a donation to the charity?? I'll leave it with you Steve... Thanks.

Whats the "Safety technology" prize?

Im in. Hopefully the delivery of all those prizes to Ireland isnt a problem

Pon my word that looks like a bunch of c**p

Looks like a nice little earner to me. Wouldnt mind having it in my yard

This link gives an idea of what a typical 3500kg tipper can actually carry

Thanks. I'll give him a call tomorrow. That number seems extra long. Whats with the /1 ??

hey were rebadged as the Mercedes Vario, with an even more powerfull EDC engine.

 

Mine's still for sale

And a very tidy looking truck it is, BUT........A standard dropside tipper body with a handy front mounted crane would suit me better

The 814d sounds like a good truck. Anyone know when they stopped making them? Or are they still available?
