oak sleepers and stock fencing creosote stakes
marlon replied to Philip jones's topic in Firewood forum
Hi Freshly cut oak sleepers? What sizes and how much for large quantities Pm me if you prefer Cheers -
I was thinking that!!!

Thanks guys for taking the time to respond, had an early night so only just read them. Interesting about the ash not lasting too long, the sleepers are for going around my new house I'm building to restrain the garden height which is a couple of feet higher. All the stems are from the site so I want to try to re use them to build stuff rather than just going into my firewood business, So maybe I'll use the oak for the sleepers (cut at 10" X 5") the ash could be cut into 4" X 2" and 6" X 2" to build the summerhouse/shed Any suggestions on how to treat the oak to try and stop the black staining which I'm sure will come through the oak? Thanks in advance, I don't get chance to look on here a lot so apologies if I don't respond straight away Cheers

Hi all Is there a chipper out there that can shred wood with nails in without doing damage, I'm guessing no but thought I'd ask. It needs to be big capacity upto 50k plus vat budget. Thanks in advance

I've just got one for my 6 ton hitachi, brilliant bit of kit the tines are at 3 inch intervals I've used it as both a ground rake and a riddling bucket was invaluable at both jobs. "bucketwarehouse.com" click "attachments" and the land rakes pop up:thumbup1:

I've got around 20 butts mostly oak and mostly 36'' and below which I've been collecting over the last few years with a view to build a summerhouse type building in the garden. What is the largest butt the throat on your machine will take?
-
Hi All, I'm looking for a mobile saw mill with operator in the Hertfordshire area near Luton airport. Largest butt is 42". Thanks

Around 350 to 450 tons With the 2054 I can average 15 cube a day going at a sensible rate maybe upto 20 if the hardwood cord is straight and the right size. My record is 1 cube in 9 minutes! But I had sorted out the straightest 10-12 inch ash and silver birch I could find! It usually averages out at a cube every half hour including stacking the bag and loading the log deck
-
26k ish.... As you said looks like a great bit of kit but your getting into Binderberger money, I've got a 2054 which I think was 14-15k plus vat 2 years ago I'm not saying for a minute it's not worth it I'll be interested to see it working up close but it will have to be very impressive to warrent the extra money.

Has anyone bought the new dalen 2060? If so opinions please

Thank you for replying, .8 to .9 was mentioned I just wanted to hear it from another person to make sure it was about right.

No weighbridges nearby, I'm happy to trust the guy neither of us are looking to do the other down. Just wondered if anyone had any thoughts?
-
Evening All, I've agreed to buy around 100 ton of hardwood cord from roadside just three miles from the yard its a mix of Ash, Sycamore and Cherry. Because I'm going to haul it myself We've agreed to measure the stack so we'll know the m3, also agreed that we'll allow 50% air. We've agreed a price per ton - my question is what weight should be allowed per m3? I've always bought in cord on an artic so I know where I stand weight wise. It's all been cut for around 8-9 months Thanks in advance Marlon

Any recommendations on around a ten ton low loader trailer for moving my 6 ton digger, will be pulled by my tractor. I'm thinking of welding some bolster pins down the sides so it could double up to transport the timber back to the yard when needed. Thanks in advance
-
Hi David, any luck finding the photos of the process? what mc did you achieve?
-
You jest - but i suggested some oak that was still growing 2 weeks ago as a joke and one of them jumped at it!
-
I've had it three times today ...... Requests for logs that will last longer!
-
price for lorry load of hardwood devon please
marlon replied to firewood jim's topic in Firewood forum
My mistake i was thinking how many cubic metres of logs out of an artic load. Since xmas it's been dead but this week it's picked up should do 120 bags this week but most wholesale. On a positive note i've got a brand new 6 ton digger coming in a couple of weeks!!!!
