    I had 8 hrs training and passed first time, I used to reverse looking over my shoulder or out the window but you have to use a box trailer and use your mirrors! It's not too bad I'm glad I did mine for peace of mind really.

    I was thinking of offering tipper loads of budget stuff in rings cheap just to shift it.

    I know what your saying, when clients ring the first thing they ask is 'what wood is it' some will take mixed but most want good quality hardwoods which I am happy to provide at a premium of course! We burn willow, pop, conny etc on the Rayburn as said it burns fine when dry, it's just customers perception and I think most of it comes from those silly poems and log burner installers insisting on certain wood.

    Really! I will give that a go I have a load of goat willow destined for the fire heap I will give it a try on my next order??

    That's £60 cube for green chestnut / birch. Seasoned ash, oak etc would warrant a higher premium.

    Worth £150 all day IMO

    I run a Ranger tipper and Isuzu rodeo but got the little fiesta van for one pacific job it saved £££'s on fuel cost for the 6 month contract i was on, i just left a tractor and trailer on site plenty big enough for saws, kit etc and does 60mpg

    Ive only had a couple of 2-3 hour stints on the riko but i am very pleased with it, Its very well thought out it can go on my little kubota as the linkage pins are universal and they also adjust. I also ran the riko road tow for several years without problems and this one is the same only pto version.

    My tractor is 25 years old so i reckon the hydraulics arent the best! Mine doesnt return that slow but the downward speed of the riko is awesome as its got the 2 speed system.
  16. Daniel Jiggins
    It is at least 3 times quicker than the browns hydraulic maybe 4 times on my 70hp ford tractor, I will try and get a video of it over the weekend.

    The beauty of the browns one is you can use it one handed Ive also recently just got a riko pto pump splitter but not had chance to give it a real try yet it is however very fast!

  23. Daniel Jiggins
    the browns splitter has a big head plus you can lift it up on the 3 point linkage with a decent size table at waist height.
  24. Daniel Jiggins
