240hp its running on 10 stud axles. The fans on front I think are for the intercooler. I think the standard 2400 sits a foot higher with intercooler under cab.

Mix it with beech and sycamore and charge a premium when there is a foot of snow on the ground.

yes we use the orange gripz gloves from arco when using the processor. When a wet log slips out your hand it hits the floor when wearing these gloves you recover it and sprain your wrists. The extra grip also gives you more confidence to pick up larger cord.

So far yes but need to try it properly loaded in anger yet. Have loaded 1/2 tonne butts while the bed is empty. I would imagine you need to treat with respect until its half loaded now the front 20 ft is missing. Should be able to load 2 tonne stuff then. The air suspension is excellent and it rides a treat when empty.

But your logs are top quality and dry so give out twice the heat which is cheaper than the soggy willow she got from the other place.

ouch I dont own one would not trust myself with one and wont be getting one

Just a quick update been too busy to put the trailer to work but been doing some fettling. I have been amazed at the amount of time small jobs can eat into your week. Its been in this week for some more serious brkts on the chassis and two pins about a foot behind the head board. Now have some work for it and cant get a tractor on hire because its harvest season the mog is owned by a friend who is too far away.

I remember your post from this time last year and you were spot on almost to the week. I would be interested on your observations as we go on.

Ours is 99%

Has anyone ever sold garden Land and been involved with an option agreement. How did it turn out. Did the developer stitch you up at the 11th hour with a poor value ? . I have looked on line for info but no one ever seems to appraise or complain.

Baz when your wood comes in it will weigh 600kg per loose cut cubic meter. Thats because its full of water. When you cut it up and leave it for 18 months the water evaporates. So 40 bags is right. Before you send next load out cut log in half measure moisture in the middle.

He is 100 miles from us so transport would kill it. I would not bid till you have seen what you are buying. I am sure he will have alot more go and see him. I have viewed alot of skips full of processed logs in other locations and things are often not as described ie bins hold less than they thought, its green not seasoned, The load has a lot of trash in it, the small amount of softwood turns out to be 75% . Eye contact and handshake worth the trip if only down the road.

I dont understand how a cu metre of dry logs with airspace loose loaded can weigh 630kg when a solid cu metre of green timber weighs approx 1000kg. my 2cu metres of dry beech weighs in at 750kg

I enjoy it but am in it for the money or at least to earn a living. Problem is traditionally tree surgeons have supplied the demand with about 15 loads near christmas for beer money. There are not that many people who sell cheap logs, most realise cordwood and cherry has doubled in cost in five years. If it helps I have charged nearer the top price and in five years have always sold out but dont have a huge part of my business invested in logs.
-
As a rough and ready rule I have room on my trailer for 20 cu metres of timber. Roughly 50% air space so 10 cu metres of solid tmber = 10 tonnes when green. If its part seasoned and weighs 8 tonne all the better I dont want to buy water or pay fuel to take it home.

I sell the hotmax ones because they are only a couple of miles away. I like them for fast instant heat. I would not put them on my own stove if I had fully seasoned beech next to them. They are ideal for people with 6 inch stoves. I use them in winter to start my stove in the winter for an hour then let it go out till evening. Some of our customers take 1cu metre of logs and 15 bags of hotmax.

Normally the price of kero drops in the summer. Not this year so far.

He should be able to carry 1000kg which is 3 cu metres of dry logs.

I think part of the reason for the riots is under the labour government benefits were very generous. Under the tory rule not as much fun is it might even need to get a job unfortunately the state of the country there is not many about. Karma would be if someone broke into their house tonight and pinched their new telly while they were out kicking off.

About 18 months ago I had a 20 year old Lad help me for a week. He asked if he could do an apprenticeship on Large diesel generators. We looked into it and found we could have swung it even though he was in his twenties. The wage was £160 a week with 1 day at college. By the time we sat down to talk about it his confrontational attitude and catch phrases were grateing on me. such as too be truthful ( I am lying ) 'too be fair' ( I want more ) 'for sure' ( I have not got a clue ) When we offered the position he laughed of his seat and said he wanted £300 a week after tax minimum. I was glad to be out of that one. My point is some and not all young people have a very high opinion of their self worth. When at school they are treated like gods now by teachers and put on pedestals. When they leave and enter the real world they can become frustrated. Unfortunately the world does not owe anyone a living. Riots tend to occur when benefits are cut and people are struggling.

I dont think they make one. But a fabricated one may make things better.

240v ac with very low watts. Or if you get one that has lots of watts it will kill your alternator and battery.

Yes vented mesh top half never got round to putting it on the lower half. I am sure a clear roof would be better but not so sympathetic to the neighbours. Its amazing how quick wood seasons in a tunnel.
