you can have your combi can in a "fuelling up area" picked like you say in shade etc - more than this in forestry kept in a bunded secure tank where all fuels are kept, derv etc, and has a seperate compartment for all the oils and mixes and petrol. refill fuel in tree work, keep in truck in an approved jerry can.

Anything burns on a fire that's hot enough, it depends what you want from a firewood as to whether it's 'good' or 'bad'. i.e. fast heat/easy to light/hot coals/long burn/cheap! Ben very valid and good point ben

we must have some mystic pop and chestnut - it doesnt like drying nets, doesnt like the barn - bought some down thats been cut for 18 months, its burning but not brill more of a smoulder, mixing with some pine - ok wood, but wont commercially sell it as firewood - just my opinion
-
IMO, no real bad woods - just the time they take to dry out, poplar and chestnut take too long to dry out for us as firewood merchants - got some up the yard been there 3 + years and still wet, will log some more up and mix in with our own wood -compare it with some beech cut and ready to sell in 6 months

best weve got is through my cousins commercial vehicle garage he can get it for us at £200 plus VAT if we have about 3 barrels - which we do get through, alot!
-
thats good we get an interval in between

what part of the country are you gary, most forestry contractors would prefer to operate their own kit, dont think many will hire out their machines - ask your local contractor for a price - as there will be alot of things to take into consideration before you could say a ball park price - best to get someone in to take a look

fire officer told me when we informed him of a controlled burn we were doing , that they can turn up and put it out even if your there and its under control if they want to - in their eyes, so i was told, there is no such thing as a controlled burn even if your there and it is under control:confused1:

yes, i think thats v.good - hard work but satisfying, 36 bags will you sell them for about £60 quid each -after taking out the wood cost and labour,processing youll still get a good profit i imagine will you
-
good work, how many of you in the end to do the work? how did you move the bags ,with the digger?
-
get well soon ace

smaller jcbs are more manouvreable but weve got a big one and its been fine, for the jobs it will be used for - got smaller tractors to do other jobs too, its horses for courses really - doesnt use any more juice than the big deere 50k tractor we use
-
yes i think we had some off him in the past.
-
i think this cheap ones only supposed to scan 6-8" in the soil but weve found old wire fencing and nails embedded in trunks about 12-18" in. - saved the saw a few times on old field tree jobs
-
we got a cheap one from maplin electronics cost about £49 does the job

sounds interesting charlie - are you attending the derbyshire one, it might be what Mr. already knows but will pass it onto him - if your attending he may attend for a day out with you -
yes can believe it garry, tony was pricing up small bits for his deere and everything is so expensive £180 for 1 small sticker about 6" long weve done up lots of tractors in the past, case, fordson, massey ferguson ford, county, jcb, international etc and i think off all of them deeres are the most expensive for parts. will have to post some pics for you of tonys restoration project and will get the model no off him for interest
-
sounds good - youve got some nice kit there, its not that long ago we only had the old fordson major and sawbench. - the more kit youve got the more maintainance ! more likely to get nicked, more of a headache:thumbup1: Tony at our yards doing up a little deere - always liked them - nothing runs like a deere, but nothing kills a deere like a magnum (case)
