  2. Hi went to a talk by Charlie Pinney years age he live only about 2 miles from us .He spent a lot of time working with the Amish in the designing of his Horse drawn carts so that he could operate modern farm machinery , either land drive or Honda engine drive .
  3. Halse of Honiton are agents only just down the road from you , they normally give advice over the phone .
  4. Hi i have a thor farmer18 tonne machine with hydraulic winch , excellent machine with good build quality supplied by Halse of Honiton.
  5. hi i think i will have to stack as we are looking at approx 350 to 400 cube , have you ever tried them stacked 4 heigh . does anyone use potato boxes as the logs would be a bit more protected from the elements .
  6. Thanks i need to store outside and use without extra handling .
  7. Hi All what are your thoughts on outside Firewood storage over winter as i do not have enough under cover storage for the amount that we are now selling . what do you find works best e.g potato boxes ,ibc crates or vented bags . Tarps covering things dont really work as we are in a very exposed area . thanks chris
  8. Hi persistent oil leeks and debury shute on elevator and chain problems
  9. Hi I have owned and used both types of machine chainsaw machine pros and cons chain oil , sharpening chains , large amount of waste sawdust , chain flicking off , can cut larger dia that circular saw . high maintenance . circular saw sharpen / rep tip yearly (with 1 spare blade , can only cut up to 11 inches ,very low maintenance , The above comments are based on brand new Hakki Pilke falcon bought brand new last year and returned after 2 weeks and a 27 year old kisa super combi (swedish machine }. The biggest problem in the uk is that all the large circular saw machines (48 " plus blade dia ) seem to be made either in america or canada with no uk importer mainly because the do not meet uk H&S requirements (lack of guards } . This is just my own openinun .
  10. Wow so with fuel @ £1.10 per litre that's £22/day x7 day week ( processing for 8 hours) = £154 a week on fuel . How many hours does it take to cut 24 tonnes of hardwood to 9" logs on the wp . Trying to workout production cost . Thanks
  11. What are the daily running cost e.g .fuel per 8 hour day compared to tractor on red diesel .
