Thought it may be useful to put pics of my efforts from the start. Always good to see experts work but a bit over my head at the moment. I should explain we are only doing to produce blanks for the kindling machine. I would like to produce nice beams and posts for my own use but no contract work or sales. Any advice gratefully received. You will notice alot of bark left on this is to get as much wood out as possible as its only going to make kindling.

A big pile of 3x3 are ideal to cross but for the kindlet. Bit of twist, corkscrewed or warped not a problem as we cut them down to 6"

Need someone occassionally to collect loads of large pop butts. May need to collect about 75 tonnes in a week or two. May suit a trailer without crane as may have lifting both ends. Some one with 8 wheeler would be fine but cant get an arctic in this end. -
What is the legal max for wagon and drag
-
I had a similar mog bit smaller with 60hp which after 40 years was probably more like 40hp. Had a job to pull itself up hills let alone a trailer The 90 hp should be much better but that big trailer looks well made and heavy. Did it throw the mog about a bit or just struggle on power.

Do your calcs work out the same as mine. Pm Sent

I bought mine new about 2 years ago. They may of actually fitted some mounts. Mine came with 20" 3/8 chain and it has more than enough ommph for that. Alot of torque from the off dangerous at times imo. Reason I avoid using mine is vibration not lack of power. If your near come and give it a go you really need to try one as they are not cheap. Cheap to run though about 30p an hour if its flat out better for your health and ears but like using a kango all day.

irish sea was bad enough. I was actually ill going from Dover to calais a couple of years ago my kids were sat their stuffing their face did not affect them.

I would imagine the battery was nearing the end of its life and gassing off combined with loose battery terminal or similar. It may be worth checking the charge regulator is not charging the battery flat out when you put a new battery on. Give the engine a wash as the acid will still be doing some damage. -
Well if it hits the old generator business gets a bit busy. I will be cutting blanks for the kindlet listening out for the phone in case one of our service agreement customers has a problem.

I have got some nice big butts of poplar some are nearly 30" across. The 20" stuff is great through my woodmizer but over that it dont fit I am only reducing to 250x75mm for cross cutting then kindling. I am thinking I may be better with a lucas mill.
-
Is it twice the size? I am thinking a third more by my maths. If it looks twice the size but has only a third more could be another way to go. I normally work on people want a 100 % mark up and something to enable them to collect. Everyone has to make a bit. The retailer has the staff and rent rates and over heads.

You mean he sells £7.50 inc 7.14 net Buys them in for 4.17 makes £3 on a net

We are doing 40x50cm bags for £1.80 + vat no margin in it now. The wood is like hens teeth and gone up 4 fold in the last year. Most of what we do is clean unused kiln dried joinery of cuts as per our pics. We have been on back order for months with no stock pile. What would you say is minimum price for a bag as in our pic.

Tell every one it WAS a half price summer sale and its now finished

there is often no ryme or reason when it comes to quoting. I was never asked to quote luckily but my competition load tested a 1000 kva took I day they charged £30,000 now we would have lost that job on most occasions at £1500 because we are to expensive. Came up against some one on a block of 8 generators for service quoted 6k and got it they quoted £2300.00 and lost it. we were double the nearest quote.

Not the same but The amount of people that cross the road and step over the trailer draw bar as the lights change beggers belief. The last one was a porter at the hospital we were servicing the generator. So luckily he did not have far to go to a&E

If it has public access do you need to get pl ins and risk asses the trees

I have no idea how to cut a tree down but even I would not tie my rope to the top bit then cut it off

I have some nice big butts of pop in about 8ft long. Some of them taper out to more than 2ft which is the max for my WM lt15. How would you reduce them I am thinking of chainsawing them free hand to get them past the frame or am I mad. Will post some pics soon should be good for a laugh. -
Processors I have owned lucky if they run 10 hrs let alone 10 years

Advice wanted regarding firewood production.

May be worth setting up a website to explain your situation in september to take the orders for delivery in November. A simple enquiry form you can pick up when you get home.
