    Yes we have dropped timber off at various sites . Generally when we need get rid of chip we offer the timber as a sweetener.

    No worries. looks like the 20S can pair with more so might give them a shot 👍 Cheers !

    Cheers for the reply’s ! I used a dewalt before and found the bit kept slipping but may have been damaged before using for eco plugs .

    Hello ask the title says which battery powered drill are people using for Eco plugging? I have been using one that we plug into mains but could do with something that we could use without mains . Thanks Tom

    Probably not paid peanuts judging by the size of the trees but definitely got monkeys mark !
  11. Tom Richards
    👍 cheers for that I’ll have a look at them . Tom

    What diameter timber can it handle please ?
  13. Tom Richards
    I was thinking either with the tractor loader or the crane? I guess which ever way you do it is time consuming and by the sounds of it you comprise with the quality of the end product a bit when going through a large splitter. I had previously brought a cone splitter but it didn’t perform how I had hoped so it doesn’t get much use. guess I’ll get the 66 out for a few hours .
  14. Tom Richards
    This is the sort of stuff . I have to cut a 9 inch log off, then larger ones need to be halved or quartered so the chap who does splitting can comfortably lift them .
  15. Tom Richards
    Forgotten to say the timber I would be using it for would be 20” plus diameter
  16. Tom Richards
    No I wasn’t thinking to do a years worth and storage is not a problem. Just thought it would be more time efficient to do that rather than logging up with a saw and them onto the splitter. Just trying to think of the most time efficient way of logging up ( maybe it is with a saw then onto the splitter ? i appreciate the comments. cheers

    Hello Iam looking to speed up production of firewood and would be interested to hear which large horizontal splitters you are using. at the moment we bring back timber and cut into rings with a saw and split them with a vertical splitter. I thought if I could cut into meter sections then run the billets through a processor this could speed things up . Thanks

    Real shame they must have put a lot of hard graft in over the years and kept a fair few lads busy.

    I’ve just seen this advertisement and wondered if anyone knows what happened to this firm ? I spend a bit of time in west Cornwall and used to see them about a lot but didn’t see them this year. They seemed a big outfit so must have left a fair gap in the market down there?

    Thanks puffin I’ve read through that before posting but wanted to ask other’s opinions. planning permission has not been applied for at all yet so no conditions pending . thanks for your input !!
  21. Tom Richards
    Cheers Slack !
  22. Tom Richards
    Some of it would do but not all of it .
  23. Tom Richards
    Thanks for all you input ! I think we will go and start on the fruit trees then keep an eye on the amount that comes off the cherry’s ( thanks for that chart Ben !). If needs be we can then go back after September and complete, I will make sure to take photos to back up quantities. Slack - Regarding the restocking sites do these have to be “actual sites” or could you contribute to a woodland trust / forestry England scheme ? Thanks again !
  24. Tom Richards
    Thanks for the reply Rich ! I hadn’t thought of that as an option. anymore input would be gratefully received.
  25. Tom Richards
    I’ve been asked to clear a small site within it are some small diameter fruit trees ( probably self set sucker growth) a goat willow and some cherries . There are no top constraints or conservation area and planning has not yet been granted. Ecological surveys have been completed and all is clear . it’s my understanding that fruit trees are exempt from a felling license so that will reduce the 5 cubic meters within a Calendar quarter. Would you consider the cherry trees to be exempt as well ? a few pictures of the site attached. Thanks
