  1. Is any one experiencing long delays getting spares/parts from Husqvarna? What is normal lead times? I have a 560xp requiring a new piston, local dealer has had the saw about 5 weeks now and still waiting for the part.
  2. I have a piece of apple just over 7ft long and 13" down to 8" diameter. Has anybody milled any apple? if so is it useful for anything in particular? We have a logosol M7 to mill it on
  3. First Swallow of 2017 seen from my woodyard on 2nd April (south cheshire - nantwich)
  4. I am using my 660 for logging oversize timber for firewood. What is the preferred sprocket to use? Using a 25" bar with oregon 75LPX chain. Thank you

    Splitting

    Probably get no more than 10 enquiries a year for splitting logs and end up doing most of them at those prices. Just adds a bit more income to the business. Last job was chainsawing and splitting about 10T mixed hard and soft wood from 6" to 24" diameter

    Splitting

    13T petrol road-towable splitter with one operator is £30 per hour with a minimum charge of 4 hours (£120) 8 hour day is £240 of which £140 is for the operator and £100 machine hire
  7. Thanks for the info. Have ordered vermiculite, less than half the price of the old style bricks.
  8. Has anyone used the vermiculite stove liners before? Seem to be cheaper than the original heavy ones. Any reviews appreciated
  9. If you are looking for "water proof" will vented log bags be of any use anyway?
  10. M Large should be able to sort you out tree services belfast | tree surveys belfast | wood processors | log splitters | wood chippers | timber trailers
  11. I was under the impression people claiming RHI had to get fuel from registered RHI suppliers
  12.  

    <p>Do you have any particular hardwoods in mind ? If so what size logs are you looking for?</p>

    <p>I am based just north of nantwich - about 30 mins from wrexham - and have a mixture of ash, alder, cherry, oak and eucalyptus in various sizes from 6" diameter to 18" diameter and all in various lengths/rings. You are welcome to come over and take a look. should also be getting some beech in soon as well</p>

  13. Ask around and see where other people get their logs from, and whether they are happy with what they get. Personal recommendation is best
  14. anyone in to off road cycling should give this a try Lakeland Monster Miles- 2015 Adventure Cross Series - Cycling Weekly The lakeland monster miles adventure cross I did it in 2013. Awesome event riding around skiddaw etc and in to whinlatter Suitable for MTB or cyclocross bikes Only did the shorter route, in 5hours 40 mins
  15. 15T at £50 per tonne is £750 I would only ever offer £50 -£100 for atree like that. Quite a lot of work to get it back to a yard for turning in to logs
  16. so what you are saying is you deliver logs at £110 for 1.8cubic metres and you dont actually break even. breaking even can also be acheived by staying at home all day!
  17. just offer him some cash (say £100 to start) and see what response is like. Be prapared to negotiate though and explain how much you could it delivered in for and how much work is involved dismantling and moving it
  18. £115 per cube delivered in barrow bags and tipped out somewhere convenient for the customer
  19. "ginger tosser" "carrot top" Highly intelligent remarks NOT! Potentially very offensive to people with the same colour of hair as Chris Evans
  20. I want to relocate my container from one yard to another on the same farm. Space is too tight for a telehandler so I am looking for a lorry with hiab that can lift it out, drive it about 100 yards and lower it in to new position. Location is south cheshire Any recommendations much appreciated
  21. 36" then they can be sawn to 6", 9", 12" or18" (or 2 x 15" and a 6")
  22. we have one of these and works well Coopers of Stortford Auto Ash Cleaner from Coopers of Stortford
  23. We use barrow bags and can get 5x 0.2 cubic metre bags on back of L200 double cab with tail gate up. Dead easy to drag off and wheel them close to log shed or in to garages etc
