If you start getting through bars may be worth asking if you can use proper chain oil as it is less likely to fling off. We found the best wearing and cheapest bars were windsor. I am a die hard bench grinder for sharpening chains ours were £2.75 ea from carlton why faf about with a file. abuse it, blue it, kill it who cares as long as you get 6 or 7 sharpens main thing is its sharp and even so it does not jam in the cut.

I think mine will hold out easy still drives fault less. If you do go for a 2004-2008 check the aircon pipe has been done as its a £1500 body off job unless someone has found a short cut. and avoid the active suspension one like mine. I prefer the look of the old model.
-
I think our hakki would get through a chain every 80 tonnes and a bar 2-300 tonnes but depends on quality of both. Cant answer the rest.

I have saved up for my next one but dont fancy paying 40k for something with 60,000 miles on. The new shape ones hold their value big time. May have to cut my cloth and go for a LC5

We run 1 disco td5 van, Lc amazon car, 2xhiluxs, 320d bmw, hyundai i10 The Hilux is totally reliable but dont expect it to haul what a landrover does. The Landcruiser is now 14 years old and has only had service parts. The td5 has been good but you can feel it falling to bits as the miles increase. The 320 is a great drive but falls over weekly.

So if I collect cordwood to make into kindling I should be ok as its materials to use for the job. But I cant deliver finished product to customer.

Repelling Mosquitos and other biting insects

They issue this to the sas seemed to work for us in the past. I heard on the radio the other day marmit works for some people. Once the mozzies have chewed you for a day they are not so keen on the meat after that. -

When we did logs we used to go 7 miles ea way free. Then it was £1 a mile there and back. So in your case extra £40. Its going to add an hour to the delivery in that time you could have processed another 2 cu metres

Seems to be a common theme here on my other thread he feels you can turn pallets into kindling and burn them in a domestic stove. Yet on here its against the law to cut up timber to sell as logs. I think you will find the country is keen to get the British back into work not discourage them.

We had about 40 people to a sit down meal in a nice country pub function room. 1 limo our budget was £1000 cost £1400 in the end had a cracking day top food. My brother did photos and video which helps alot.

Same here but with cooked breakfast I am not emmission compliant.

When you work out what its worth I may be interested in buying it. Depends on age and condition. It is one of the smaller ones so will only carry around a tonne. Is it shutter or ramp door.
-
You could well be right woody but this thread is about kindling and we dont make wood chip so its a bit irelevant. Maybe you need to start a thread on shall I chip pallets for my wood burner.
-
John has pointed out that only a very small percentage of pallets are heat treated. The rest are covered in spilt product paint and chemical treatment. MMMMMM nice
-
So your saying its not against the rules for me to make kindling out of treated timber. I was under the impression you can burn treated timber in an approved appliance as long as its burnt at a temperature over 600 deg. I assume an open fire and cheap domestic wood burner would not meet this standard. Why would you need kindling in a woodchip boiler I assume they have a built in ignition source surely you dont spend 15k then have to get on your knees with news paper and kindling
-
We dont use second hand pallet wood. The day I have to compete with criminals I will look for something else to do. There is a demand for quality kindling we do our best to supply it.

I can remember a member called mr ed on here recommending them and that must be 4 years ago so they been around a while. Not heard anything bad.

The mb track looks in good condition. I like the tracks bit more versatile than a normal tractor and easier to justify you are not driving a hgv unlike the mog.

It will use 3 times as much fuel. If you decide to go on holiday 300 miles away it will cripple your spending money. I know I have a landcruiser amazon

A chainsaw blade is always going to create a mountain of waste my 325 chain used to cut a 8mm path through the wood whereas a tct will be 3-4mm. I noticed the farmi 36 has a 325 chain on a 16" bar. This will create less waste but I would imagine you will have to treat with more respect and change bar more often and keep sharp. This is better than the 3/8 or 404 chain found on most big processors. The problem with tct is they only cut about 12" timber.

So the lorry going to Germany must pass the one comming from Latvia

2 weeks ago I would not of had a clue not a daft question at all. But I would now say wet pop kindled and stacked on pallet will probably go mouldy. But kindled wet and left with air space in a poly tunnel in the summer it dries in 5 days. Pitch pine and spruce gets mould on the end no matter what you do. Our plan is to process into 6 in logs and season in vent bags for several months. Avoid cutting through winter. I have been sat in my office with the aircon on and the stove lit over the last few weeks the neighbours always knew I was mad but now they think I have completely lost it

I have bought kit in the past spent thousands, done 18 tonnes and thought what a waste of time and thrown it in a corner somewhere. Being honest with my hand sharpening even with a widget on the end I can see sparks. Alot of time spent on a bench grinder I think. I think if you get alot of cheap large timber you need a decent splitter and a processor or saw bench.
