I have seen a tool in the past on ebay which use to shovel then hang the bag underneath and it all tips in. The other idea is to use round pipe under your shoot so when the bag is full you put your forks through the handles as you lift the forks pass round the pipe and take the weight of the bag. If you do a search on line you should find tonne bag loaders which should give you some ideas.

No log sales but not suprised not put an ad out for 2 years. Just sell word of mouth in the winter. Sold a lot of kindling to the trade.

We are not far from Winchester and a few months ago we were overun with cookoos. Especially at 4 am

I would take the temp of the oil and talk to Large tree. The Ambiant temp at the moment is 20 deg which does not help and the machine was designed for softwood. I could swap your hard wood for softwood for no charge if it helps The oil will get hot but just depends on how hot.

Yes . No offence I love turners really. When they come in here we have a laugh me trying to shove the stuff up the processor them trying to drag it back with the end chewed off.

If its an arbtalker you will just need to help load. If its from the local wood turners ass osiation he will bring his big F shape spanner and moisture meter and deliberate for 4 hrs before offering to take the lot of your hands for a fiver. You will then be handed a piece of paper with address and exact position where he would like it stacked. And by this time you will agree to anything just to get him out the yard.

Sounds ideal for firewood

Perhaps we could mix in some of them brickette things as well. Has anyone tried mixing Oak slab wood after its been through a woodmizer and outside bits left over.

I think the question should be is it worth £40 a tonne like ash beech or oak because I am getting offered some really strange cord wood I think 5 years ago it would have been called arb arisings just shows how short supply hard wood is getting.

That bits too long that bits too fat, too dark, too rotten too wet too dry, that bit on th bottom looks ideal, heres a pound sorry about all the mess.

So does red oak look or feel anything like english oak.

International 684 with adaptor on 1000 pto. Engine runs at 1100rpm lasts weeks if not months on a tank.

Good luck with your new venture. If anyone needs kindling in the south of England let me know.

Rodeo is a good truck and well proven now. I am a Hilux fan but would prefer a late Rodeo over a late Hilux if that makes sence. The Rodeo was rated to tow 3 tonne as well.

Yes it probably weighs 2.5 tonne empty. Often they have twin rear wheels and chew the juice. They look a bit chunkier and you can make brum brum noises and pretend your yorkie man.

Watch out for the tax man if you do more than 60 percent for one customer and he provides the tools and materials they wont consider you se. Get plenty of other invoices through the books.

260 is an old model speak to jonsie his ad is on the right will do best deal. The others sound chinese personally would not touch them with a barge pole.

I knew the american H&S culture had arrived when all the american companies in the uk started moving to China because they dont have any. About seven years ago I had to do a long winded statement for a generator install on a new shopping centre roof. When we arrived on site the roof was covered in pieces of wood with nails sticking up. There was a security man checking people in for H&S and was handing out a piece of paper listing all the hazards. When I asked why they had not picked up the rubbish and disposed of it his reply was not my job, now you know about it we dont need to. While we installed the generator he laid in the sun sunbathing. Now my point is there are a few old hands like me who have 20+ years experience working hard in blazing sun bowing and scrapeing to a whole army of untalented, unskilled, lazy pen pushing idiots like this. I can understand why alot of my old work mates have dropped £4 an hr to deliver tesco food at minimum wage.

My next purchase would be to block hire a holiday camp next to the sea and invite all arbtalkers for a party and barbecue on the beach. ( just remember I aint won yet )

2cm stacked probably does fill three builders bags but not cu m ones 800x800x800 =0.56 cu metre 900x900x900 =0.73 cu metre 1000x1000x1000 = 1 cu metre Unfortunately to the untrained eye the bags look the same size.

My first purchase would be a very large paper shredder.

45 bags seems alot but if it was 35% then you will get more volume for your tonne. Was it softwood

If you need something to get 700kg across a field for 200,000 miles get a hilux . If you try and put 1500kg of chip in the back you will snap the chassis if you are going to abuse it it will cost you a packet. The Landrover can be abused its cheap to rebuild and will handle too much weight better but is inclined to fall to bits however you treat it. The Landrover leaks water some of the engines were dreadful and most of the gearboxes and heaters apart from that they are ok. What you have to remember is that is what all vehicles were like in 1953.
