  1. The chestnut won't sell at £50/metre; euro are doing it for £35/t...
  2. So my thread a few months back wasn't so off then?! http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/firewood-forum/60685-there-major-hardwood-cord-shortage-year.html with the exception of a stupid word beginning with "c" in the title - unforgiveable lol
  3. Sold. Thanks anyway.
  4. must be 476738384945983 posts about those on here!
  5. Good on you Stihl :thumbup:
  6. Firewooded the lot (7' roundwood), sacrilege to the millers! sorry Will be roadside next Wednesday.
  7. I've heard Ifor quality is down and Indy are borderline in receiverhsip. Prefer the indy myself; one hell of a solid lump. Saying that you should be looking at Bateson and Nugent too.
  8. Is it rough oversize chestnut at that price? Too cheap...
  9. Softwood is quality too! So long as it's dry and sound; it has its plus and minus' but is not "not quality"!
  10. It insinuates that you will commit tax fraud if they offer cash. Hate them for that. It ALL goes in the bank. People all over think I'm nuts. Ha, let em think what they want!
  11. devaluing - 100% correct
  12. Only cos the public are being told that "wood is the new gold". If only they knew... Absolutely right, best answer in this thread. Forestry works the other way round sure; based on volume in a organised crop. Tree surgery arisings cost a lot to be able to produce in the first place let alone not covering your costs and then some by being daft enough to turn up with tens of thousands of pounds worth of kit to work for some awkward timber; forget it
  13. You're a Farma dealer; no bias there then
  14. You've run a gen2 long enough to prove that? I'll admit they look superb but the abilities of a forwarding trailer have nothing to do with an operators forwarding knowledge; that's about timber, not machinery as such. 99% of timber forwarded per se is by purpose built anyway fella.
  15. It's to go on an 8 tonne machine hence the need. Yet to find an 8 tonner than puts out more than 100L/min at 210 bar; maybe one (the terex) does it at 270 bar but the head requires 120-200L/min at 210 bar. Kinda like this:
  16. sorry my bad
  17. You want softwood for biomass chip not hardwood...

  19. ... please don't get me anything work related; that's for the business to pay for and be tax effective, not for relatives to spend on!!!
  20. Very wise comment. Larch will likely get a PHN on it sometime soon aswell.
  21. Ditto or we do 3 x 2.2m for an 8 wheeler and 4 x 2.2m for artic. My forwarder is annoying in that I can sling on 2m roundwood fast x 2 bays whereas 2.2 I have to make more effort to make the back bay sticks neat. 8 wheeler doesn't mind as just goes higher on the pins upto 18t or 26m3. Artic gets 35m3 on 2.3s x 4 rammed. Edit, this is for softwood roundwood.
  22. Amer Biomass might the people you need to speak to...
  23. Can supply roundwood or dried chip. 5000 tonne is local to you.
