firewood

Anyone used snow chains on transit tipper? Were they any good? Makes to go for? Suppliers? http://www.kinnoirwoodfuel.co.uk

What I find intensely irritating is the fact that cord prices are being driven up by biomass outfits in receipt of massive subsidy from you and me via our taxes and power bills. I supply green energy....where is my subsidy? http://www.kinnoirwoodfuel.co.uk

Yes area is clear of chip and I have given the gubbins a blow out with the airline. Will checkout steve's thread. Thanks all. http://www.kinnogirwoodfuel.co.uk

My hakki has developed a problem with the splitting ram. It keeps cycling in and out and will not come to rest between cuts. Anyone else had this problem? Whereabouts in the mechanism should I be looking for the problem? http://www.kinnoirwoodfuel.co.uk

I won this board in the raffle. we use it all the time and i can, after 8 months use, confirm that we are still alive:thumbup1: excellent tommer. thanks.

is the directory still under maintenance? i would like to edit some details. (sorry to hassle)

my 2p worth... as steve says above go for the biggest capacity processor that you can. I have a Hakki 370 and now really wish i'd gone for the 420. to get the most out of the machine you must have a log deck to feed it and a machine to load the deck. without these, productivity will be little better than using a chainsaw and a vertical splitter. with the deck and loader it is possible for one man to process up to 20m3 in a day if the feedstock is reasonably straight and clean.

I am now the (skint) owner of a kindlett. massive orders for kindling now being taken at rock bottom prices:laugh1: thanks for all the comments.

thanks steve. will he kindlett take a gravity fed infeed tray?

what is the best kindling machine for round wood (not joinery waste). anyone had any experience with the BGU or posch machines? or is Fuelwood the only machine worth considering.

cant believe they have not had any bids yet

not a bad price for 6m3. though how you would carry that on a tranny in one go beats me. northampton area. Seasoned Hardwood logs Firewood Tree Surgery forestry | eBay

many moons ago when i was responsible for data archiving at a graphics company we did the following: 1 paper copy.....print em out! 2 digital copy placed on a dvd 3 digital copy held on a back up drive 4 digital copy retained for instant access on the server. we generated approx 800,000 unique images per year so it was quite a task! i know the horse has already bolted but initiate a back up system and stick to it. Also always check you can read the back ups and keep them at separate locations if possible. with regards to your now defunct hard disk, do not despair. as other have said, there are professional recovery firms who can get it all back for you , allbeit at a price.

how many m3 in your "load"? any pics of the truck with the cages?

what you omit to mention is security of supply. last winter, with at least two feet of snow on the deck, I had many customers who couldn't get coal, oil or gas deliveries for between 6 to 8 weeks. I supplied them all within 24 hrs of receiving their orders. If i had not supplied them there are at least 6 competitors within 5 miles who would have served them. So, oil and gas may be more convenient but wood is ubiquitous and supplied very competitively in an open and free market. you cannot say that about the alternatives. with regard to m3 prices, £120 m3 is a distant dream in NE scotland. softwood (very popular up here) is freely available at £40m3, hardwood at £60 to £70m3. both prices are for delivered wood.

I put michelin agilis tyres on mine (around £125 each inc vat and fitting) was sceptical that they would make that much difference but they do work a treat especially on snow and ice. Also no noticeable drop in mpg.

how old are these trees reckoned to be.

difflock where are you based?

where is all the pellet going? is it power generation or large scale heating? I know a stove retailer near me and he says he hasn't sold a pellet system in ages....to expensive compared to an ordinary log burner in capital cost and ongoing fuel costs. so i suspect that it is not domestic demand

I have been told that price pressure from the invergordon plant has indirectly caused the closure (next october) of the kinnoir sawmill not 2 miles from me. by way of illustration that money talks.... a small privately owned wood had 2600t extracted less than a mile away from Kinnoir mill. where did the wood go? to invergordon approx 90 miles away. so even with all that haulage it was still more worthwhile to ship it there. crazy. what i want to know is why balcas get a subsidy to run wood for miles and miles, burn it to turn it into electricity then sell the electricity to power domestic heaters when i can cut out most of the inbetween stages by selling firewood directly into the customers grate! worst of all they are charging me for the priviledge via my electricity bill. Governments north and south of the border pay lip service to small business but the reality is that they love getting into bed with big corporate enterprises. I may be wrong but i think the invergordon plant is part owned by the local council. I have yet to notice any affect on hardwood prices locally but softwood prices are definitely trending upwards.
