Hi Ive finally found a lorry body! Now the rest would of the kiln to get, would this be any good? I have emailed them for a price. http://www.nyle.com/lumber-kiln-drying/small-dry-kiln-systems/

Great advice thanks so much to you all! Albtalk is a very valuable resource, community! The Misses still calls it "ArbGeek" tho....Ha

Great pics! Great wood.

Got it, Rodger that.... Thanks for the advice watch this space, I'll get to it

Cheers J and the field Maple?

I was hoping Big J would know a way to stabilise The chestnut?

Yo've hit the nail on the head there, One hit home as well! Thanks for the pics nice splitter. Ha Do u use the pallet forks all the time?

:001_smile:Nice do u have 2!

Tons more attachments fit to pallet forks, I've been thinking of getting a couple of skip bins? Fork Mounted

Its my lad sat on the digger attachment at the Arb show a couple of years ago I don't have on. Close up of the hitch I made

It really is ok at the front I have had a problem with small flint hit me the dropped down into the machine Getting blown thought the fan and holing the rad! K-Seal sorted that and now have finer mesh on the fan guard. I think to be honest it was me putting the flap up on the grinder and putting the Grinding barrier to close. u live and learn Cheers to all for your comments Blaise

Heres the link Home Page Not to sure if he still going, I spoke to him on the phone just to sort out which wheel and teeth ect but actually bought if off Boxer Uk Log in | Facebook Multi-tip Home page Boxer Power and Equipment - Compare ALL Attachments (Tel: 01666 500 123) Ask for Cliff Tell him you spoke to me please. He's usually at the Arb Show although wasn't last year. I did a 40m run with his trencher, putting a water pipe to me mums green house and filled it in 3.5 hours!

I'm doing this off the top of my head Boxer and Loading shovel £16,000. ish +Vat it was 17.5 when I bought it Splitter £450.00 Grab £1,000. Auger £700.00 with 6"&10" Stumpgrinder £3,500.00 not to sure if that included Vat Great wheel and teeth tho Pallet forks £300.00 Blank Plate £40.00 Boxer 532DX has 55 ltr/per/min as alway u want more but thats the most out of all other machines of this size. There is a garde in front of the radiator its just finer than the 322 I don't really do fencing maybe 5 jobs a year. The next thing I planning on making is a whinch to tow myself up on a paraglider!

I was looking for a stump grinder and was considering spending around £15,000 on one, after some reasurch and a demo from Boxer I was very impressed. Buying the Boxer has had a massive difference to my business All of a sudden I can bring trunk back to the yard all but eliminating logging into liftables. Then I have timber to mill new revenue stream is created. The reason I bought the boxer was to grind stumps its been fantastic not quite as quick as a large dedicated grinder by plenty fast enough. I made a blank plate with a tow hitch great for moving dumpy bags mounting the splitter(although I would like to make a bench), and moving the chipper is like a tracked chipper get any where. Auger is attached to the front in the pic with my wife, drilling the holes for a fence it will drill up to a 36" hole! Great for planting trees Another revenue stream. Grab is amazing move nearly 1 ton of wood in one go raised off the ground, drag nearer 2 tons with one end on the ground! It will move more brash in an hour than one man can move in a day! (with a medium distance drag) High capacity bucket I odered this instead of the standard one it has a proper edge for scraping, great for moving wood chip and manure loading ect. Pallet forks have been ok I don't use them a lot but there fairly cheep and when u need them there like gold. I "ve seen all manner of hydraulic attachments for them and u can customise anything provided u have enough Hyd flow. 5 grand a year on the business for 4 years and its yours, its made me so much more profitable and able to compete with firms much larger than me. I can't imagine life without it. Hope this helps some one.

cheers Rob D those extra braces are great even on the 36" bar Big Bolt its a "Boxer grab" was a bit more than I wanted to spend but its great and I've forgotten the cost as its always so useful.

Cheers Alec Its a dilemma with the field Maple because I got some one who wants it as it is But I'd love to see the grain inside!

What u didn't win one in your mega prise? WoodEd

Same again with this Field Maple would you mill it? I recon it could be good inside I'm just not sure where to start?

I'm not to sure if I am going to plank it. It was just so I could get it in my trailer and keep the length. Is there a market for planked Larch?

Some more pics Would you bother to mill this spalted Chestnut it has some burs on the side? Is there a way of stabilising it if parts are a bit spongy?

Just thought I share this with you. Its a Larch, any good ideas for it would be great? I had to mill it on site so I could lift it and keep it 3m long. It was felled in the winter.

That is very interesting, Blaize! I wonder if you can obtain a view as to whether the existing rope bracing is at a high enough level and if there should be more than just two limbs connected? My view is that if the wire bracing did fail, there isn't enough to take the inevitable strain......but I could be wrong of course! Thanks, Peter

Brillant thanks very much for your time and advice. Blaise

That make sense Many thanks!

I ve got a customer who has asked if I can or should release the bracing on his Horse Chestnut tree, as the pics show theres two sets of bracing steel cable lower then webbing higher up. The steel is very tight and the webbing is slack. I never done any bracing theory or practical any help Gratefully received thanks. I am due to do a minor thin for light in the garden subject to planning...
