Hi

Freshly cut oak sleepers?

What sizes and how much for large quantities

Pm me if you prefer

Cheers

I would think you boys are getting carried away with your outputs!

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

I'm looking for a mobile mill to come to our yard near luton airport to cut around 20 large ash and oak stems into sleepers

Sizes are from two - four feet diameter

Large machines on site to load, turn and unload as needed

Does anyone have any contacts/recommendations?

Cheers

Thanks but this thread is more than three years old!!

He may not fetch a log..... but he's very good at splitting!!

Around £20 per cube..... But being a generous chap I'll offer £25 and I'll take the lot!

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

6 months ago I bought a one owner massey 3080 2 wheel drive in collecters condition year 1990. 1 owner from new only ever had a hedge cutter on it with 5000 hours. I paid £3,900 plus vat.

Times the cubic volume by .8, this will give you the weight

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?

Green oak= perfect

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!

On lorry I think he's asking.. In cord form... You busy???

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!!!!
