    My Tajfun 400 is now for sale and will by on Arbtrader this week. Not getting out of logs, but a combination of going employed last year and sourcing most of my logs wholesale has forced my arm.

    That 480 looks a right beast!

    Imo depends so much on what your cutting. And if its clean. The nature of the machine means you dont always know if its cut a dirty section etc. Ive had days where ive had to sharpen 4 or 5 times on mixed hw and other days where its cut well all day long without a sharpen.

    I have weighed several builders bags (0.6 cube) of well seasoned ash before. Varied between 250 and 280kgs. Hope that helps.

    Having a mid week break and forgot to bring any logs for the little cottage we are staying in. Anyone in the area got a couple of nets i could buy, save me committing a huge crime and getting a couple of nets from Sainsbury. Many thanks

    Ime, its what is under the road planings that counts. Waste of time putting any planings down if the base is poor.

    I think this way will suit me in the future, ive recent gone full time employed with a good career job. I wont to carry on logs, but with minimal fuss. Return might not be quite so good buying it all in, but will suit i reckon.

    Did a quick 3 cube this afternoon, was all logs ive bought in processed (from 3 sources). I normally mix my loads 50/50 bought in and my own logs. These 3 cube, cost me £100 in wood, £10 fuel for delivering and thats about it. Leaves me with £150 for 4 hours work. Happy with that. Yeah there will be a small amount of associated costs, but you get what i mean. Not sure its worth getting the processor out to be honest.

    I reckon 85% of the load i got from nick went through my tajfun processor.

    Keep it simple, supply the best logs in your area and dont under value the final product (whether the logs are from waste timber or cord wood).

    Isnt it simple to work out charges anyway? Work out what everything is costing you to get the product to the customers door and then add how much profit youd like to make etc?!

    Christ who dug this old thread up?! I bought a Tajfun joy in the end, and havent looked back

    Some stupid comments on here. I had a load from Nick, probably most profitable wood ive ever bought in. I mix it 50 / 50 with hardwood and market that as a stove mix. People love it. Cheers Nick

    If you have a £1,000 kitty, buy £1,000 worth of kindling wholesale. You will probably double you money easily for not doing much work at all.
