My hakki processor choked on snow last year. Not much chance of that so far still getting sun burnt.

I have always been a fan of conveyors. I swear it halves the effort and doubles the speed. I have just bought a used upm conveyor on ebay for £300 for one of my saws. You need at least 4.5 metres to reach the middle of the truck with raised sides. The motors are normally only 40 - 120 watts so could be run of an inverter or a hand bag generator.

Bags of Kindling for sale in the south sticks
gensetsteve replied to gensetsteve's topic in Firewood forum
Just a quick note to everyone who purchased their kindling this summer thankyou for your business and it was good to meet you all. I bumped this thread up because it has some good pics of kindling on. We are currently flat out building stock up for the winter. If anyone requires kindling now drop me a pm and we can sort something out. The bags are 40x50 and weigh about 4kg all virgin untreated kiln dried pine bone dry and ready for immediate use. We have an advert in the firewood directory if you need to find us in future -
Lots of Misleading Firewood Ad's on Ebay
gensetsteve replied to farmer_ben's topic in Firewood forum
Even then they would be getting a good deal as that would be approx 1.5 cu metres of loose logs. -
I was going to put a pic up but it actually looks good in a photo. Look forward to seeing some pics of the outfit when its had some love. I never seem to get the time to overhaul things seems to take forever to source parts these days. I think there is a full time job here gardening and changing oil
-
Not sure if you can see in the pic but this is on my pm crane which works well. Not a huge travel the thing that worries me with the recoil tings is how long will the seal last with a bit of frost and dust.

I have a large pile of beech I can offer for £80 a cubic metre loose loaded. It looks good but I dont sell it as seasoned as its 26% outside 30% inside. 5 cu metres will be around 2.5 tonne in weight. If Butlers still have the pile I looked at last summer best go there first.

I would stick with the skips:001_smile:

Cheap holidays to greece . Since they dropped the drachmar the prices have been controlled by the eu. Just hope world war three does not break out when some nations that were more wealthy fail to get their dosh back.

I get honda generators in occasionally low hr standby sets not starting. Fuel looks and smells fine but you could pull on that cord all day. drain fuel, fresh in away it goes first time. Petrol and diesel now goes off very quick.

I have an old westwood mower 4 stroke that gets all the old mix. 6 weeks old and it goes in the mower.

have you tried reducing the size of the pic with something like pix resizer

Anyone use a club cab pick for firewood?
gensetsteve replied to farmer_ben's topic in Firewood forum
I have been looking at putting a tipper body on an extra cab. They normally have the best payload of the three but still enough room for a worth while tipper. The hilux single cab only carries 700kg wheras the extra cab nearly 1100 kg or more when the body is removed. -
I have two prices unseasoned expensive seasoned really expensive especially in January
-
mse220 no fuel to go off and still plenty of power.
-
So instead of having one decent service van and renewing it every 3 years I would be better of with two old wreaks with two different tachos.
-
I had a customer last year who wanted no larger than 7 7/8" ie 8 inch would be too big. A good opportunity to sell a large quantity of 6" kindling I thought but he went somewhere else
-
It does not sit in the grate and sulk like some pieces of oak if not seasoned for four years. I have cut sycs to the floor here and four years later they are 20ft again. I would imagine it burns too quick on open fire but good in burner.
-
You would have thought he would ask for stonking great logs if he had a large fire. We use big 1.5 metre vent bags the ones blank are 10" logs. The labels will say 12inch or 14" etc . When someone wants big logs we tip them in the mouth of a bay and scoop up.
-
I was going to make a sarcy comment but thought it may be taken the wrong way been flammed enough already on here this week so thought better of it.
-
Still getting the lengths just recently done 10,000 bags so been sucking everything up in the local area. I was removing offcuts free but sorting was taking too much time. The offcuts we get are all minimum 2x2 and over 6" long. I think the skips are 3 yard or 1.5-2 metres.
-
I have taken a bit of a battering on other threads over the last few days about this. But its now been explained to me. To get profit from logs its just a bit of cherry and a few chains. You must ignor all the other costs and just concentrate on spending this weeks £1500 turnover down the pub on friday night. Dont sit down and work out the real costs its depressing just ring up your nearest competitor and under cut them by £5 a metre.

I went to an officers mess in an army camp last year. They had ordered and had delivered 1 cu metre of firewood by pallet £249.00 so alot of people do pay the money. Worrying thing is not had repeat order
-
Micheal I like your way of thinking:beer: If my stove was bigger and I could get a bit more in I would burn it but it just burns too quick and leaves very little bed. I am actually buying skip fulls of 4ft off cuts for £20 a skip. I have 6 of my own skips and cant keep up. I fill 4 bulk bags a day when working the kindling 2x2" off cuts if someone close by has a use let me know. Currently I give it to one of my neighbours.
