I’ve heard of the posts being guaranteed for 15 years but never up to 40 ! ?

I’ve just had 300m stock fencing done , green sheep netting and 2 rows of barbed wire, telegraph pole strainers in each corner and a strainer post on every bend where needed £8.50 per meter, bloke and his lad did it in two days , made a really decent job .

£70 cube would work back to £63 per tonne for larch saw log's which is not far of the mark may be a bit steep but haulage distance will reflect on price. Where selling dry windblown spruce and lodgepole pine @ £1100 + haulage full wagon and drag weight will be around 20 tonne ish .

Take a look at the kubota BX range, you can get them with a mid mounted cutting deck, and they have rear PTO, 3PL, drawbar etc for running flails / rotovators , spools for tipping trailers and log splitters , well worth a look and you'll probably find a decent second hand one with your budget.

By the time you've worn that 6mm floor down that trailer should have paid for itself a few hundred times!, don't bother lining it, just use it like it's ment to be used! Cracking looking trailer btw 👍

Evening all,

Can anyone recommend a wholesale kindling supplier in the Preston area of Lancashire.

Thanks in advance.

Is this still available please??

This is how I move my processor about, drop it on the trailer, strap it down, hitch tractor back up , and on to the next job, works well for me, as I don't cover a massive area 👍

Going to be the same as last year,

£95m3 for hardwood

£75m3 for softwood

Both tipped loose out of ifor trailer within 8 miles of the yard

25 Brand new dumpy bags from MAC Kingstone for sale 800x800x800 with tipping loops and tie down cover top. £100

Interested in these, what're abouts are you located, thanks in advance .

Been out processing some fresh felled ash and sycamore for a customer today.

This is my little Arb digger, a old JCB 801, welded a thumb on to the dipper for helping out with the log processing, don't know how I managed without one beforehand, for a small old machine it's a belter 👍

Managed to sqeeze 1023L in yesterday at 0.35p +vat,cheapest its been for a long time.

HI ALL happy Xmas and happy new year to all of you thanks MEN PLOGS 👍👍👍

Merry Christmas Jon all the best mate 👍

Is that a 4 hooked corners kind of jobbie? any pic's. Use a bagging tray, but often wondered if the open bag method might be faster, out of ibcs.

Yes that's 4 open corners, I'll try and post some pics in the next few days.

Hi all, Iv'e bought a viking MB253T second hand mower ,the drive to propel the mower seems really slow:confused1:,Is there anyway to speed the drive up or is it just how it is??

Thanks in advance

I have about 24 sycamore rings of between 25 and 30 inches by about 9-10inches and a 10ish foot length that are too big for my splitter and are currently getting in my way. I don't have the time to deal with them and they are starting to get in the way, so if anyone wants them they can have them if they collect, basically for free(but if you wanted to give me a couple of quid I wo say no!). I reckon there is about 5 ton in weight and I can load onto tippers and trailers (not lorrys) with my digger. Thanks, William.

Where about scare you located??

Am I missing something, 20 gram load is only 3/4 ounce, saves getting a bruised shoulder

Think he means loading 20 bore cartridges in to a 12 bore shotgun!

Hi TOM that's ok then mate thanks Jon

Just paid 42p a litre on 800L 👍

I can do 40 nets an hour with 10 inch processed softwood logs bagging them out of IBC cages with the help of a home made bagging stand to hold the nets open as i fill them .

Ste ,might be interested, i'll be in touch:thumbup1:

Logs are slow moving here, 20 cube down on what i was this time last year,wish this cold weather would hurry up, if there is any on the way that is........

It works well, I may try offering a processing service, but its not fun to drive down the country lanes.

What processor is that? 350??

I move my 280 on a small low loader towed by my tractor, the elevator doesn't really fold up enough in transport position to make it handy enough to move on the Front or rear 3point linkage.

Jas p make their own to fit the Posch conveyor, it works ok and filters most of the trash, certainly to an acceptable level. The posch rotating type is crazy money if I remember rightly.

 

You can just about make it out in this picture...

Your living the dream there Tom D with that set up!

Hi all. Got my hands on a pto hydraulic pump shes a dowty pump. 100cl. Thought it would power my splitter. Hooked it up and put the tractor in the 1000 shaft on the pto. Tried to split timber and doesnt seem to be buildind pressure. When she does after 15sec shel rev the engine on the tractor. The oil on the return is a wee bit foamy going back in to the return tank. When I toke the pipe off the tank noticed that it wasnt a solid flow of oil, more spitting it back. The pump I was told can return between 20-25 lpm so more than enough I think.

Does anybody know what the problem is?

Sounds like its drawing air in on the suction side off the pump somewhere check the pipework and the connections and make sure everything airtight.also make sure the return pipe is big enough to take the flow of oil bigger the better:thumbup1:
