What sort of money are looking for it?

I would also be interested in not buying it hiring it!

I have just cut and split my load of hard wood. I would be prepared to sell you a tipper load if you like. (1 3 wheel tipper) about 14 cubic mtrs.

what sort of quantities you after?

thanks

I am only guessing and wondered was thi sabout right! Its a learning process at teh minute

That is an artic lorry load. I am talking about a smaller tipper volvo trailer. Holds about 10 - 15 cubic metres I reckon

want a rough guess at cubic metres it holds just to price the timber

20 ton standard lorry.

Hi Guys

Getting a price made up for a guy looking a 3 axle lorry load! How many cubic metres you reckon we could put on one?

thanks

Hi,

Just wondered anyone any good ideas on how to fill bags with firewood. The smaller 25kg bags i mean?

i seen a stand on one site.which lets the wood slide into thebags.

Is it worthwhile?

Thanks

Hi

to maximise space I was wondering has anyone any good methods of timber storage. (Inexpensive too) Like potato boxes or something along that line (stackable)

THanks

any one to swing it for me?>

Its not too bad at minute but once the oil starts rising aain everyone will be looking other sources of fuel!

Im only starting to look about splitters etc etc. 6-8k is a large outlay for me to begin with. I was hoping to hire one but not looking likely at the moment.

I dont want to buy a splitter now and tehn have to look about a processor another 12 months down the line!

Where are you based. Do you process the timber youself?

Hardwood at the minute, It is not seasoned. However I was thinking about getting a load of dried stuff and processing / selling now for this winter!

Why?

Yeah

Going to purchase an artic load over next week or two and process before the bad weather (well really bad) hits home. Just finding out what mys best spliting method at the mo!

Thanks

Researched this myself about 3 weeks ago.

Was at one time hiring but now he only has new machine :-(

Hi,

Thanks

What type of logs?

Where are you?

Hello,

I am new to the forum and am in the thought process of starting a new log business here in NI.

I installed a log gasification boiler (plumber by trade!) and am now starting to look about my fuel for next year. I had toyed with the idea of pellet / chip burner etc but decided to go with log burner!

My idea being; I would purchase an artic load of hardwood (currently £1100) and then process (hopefully a few days). Keeping the majority of it for myself and selling on a small quantity to see how it goes. My intentions are that if I sell say 30 builder bags approx that should pay for my initial outlay of timber and thus my firewood would be free!

This is to start with. If there is a larger demand I would get possibly another artic load!

However that was until I realised I had to purchase the log processor. There are none for hire over here and the costs I am getting so far for a new machine is £6500 for Palax Combi II OR £8200 for Hikki Pike.

In grand scheme of things I realise they lose very little value but it might be a little on high side to start of with.

An advice or recommendations would be a great help and much appreciated!!

I have attached a file to show my set up
