Could be a useful motor for someone Iveco Daily Tipper | Tipper vans Infact,as the name implies, the site is full of tippers!!!

Great pics,nice to see 4x4s being used for what they were built for:thumbup:
-
Great news!!! Just goes to show, if you don't enter, you can't win! -
The nets of finished product we saw had an awful lot of twigs in along with short, two inch diameter material. Even though the nets were large I do not think you would get much money for them and as someone has already stated, it did not look pretty enough for those that like to see a log stack outside the house and the logs on the fire. Could imagine it would be good for a boiler but would it not burn very quickly being so small?

Bought log tongs, log hook, a sappie, wedges, marker paint and a lovely Boker knife. Had a chat with Jim from Caledonian Forestry re the expected delivery of my Palax KS35 - hopefully next week. Was great to be able to see all the various processors in one place and I can safely say I am glad I chose Palax. Some cracking forwarding trailers with cranes available for use behind a Land Rover or tractor. As a first timer to APF, my mate kept telling me it was huge and whilst I thoroughly enjoyed it I will have to take him to the CLA game fair to show what a huge show is like.
-
Thought as much, but on arrival at customers house how do you unload the bag without the aid of a crane and then manouver to final position?

Having done a lot of research over the last 6 months with a view to setting up my own business, most people seem to be selling builders bags for a minimum of £60 each so that would suggest you are too cheap. What type of Land Rover could you get three full dumpy bags in the back of?

Congratulations Lorry to you and your wife; you'll have your own little team of groundies in a few years time!

After being made redundant last year following 23 years with the same employer, and deciding to do what I wanted to do for a change I can honestly say you will never look back. I found just saying yes to things led to new opportunities - I went from sitting at a desk all day to dry stone walling, driving dump trucks, gardening, and now setting up a firewood business. I really do not think I could do the same job five days in a row now. Good luck, keep smiling and start enjoying life!

If you have to ask the question...a Land Rover product or a.n.other pick up?... you know the heart is saying Land Rover but the head is saying Nissan,etc! I am currently trying to decide on a vehicle and after driving Land Rovers for 23 years have looked at a Ford Ranger - very nice,but disappointing seats compared to my Freelander and not really that big a pick up bed - but am now thinking Discovery TD5 Commercial.
-
The sides on the tray are a tad shallow though, would probably need extending, mesh cage or greedy boards.
-
I've obviously got too much spare time at work but this looks an interesting motor - Range Rover Classic professionally built pickup 4x4 on eBay (end time 02-Sep-10 15:34:29 BST) Could be useful for so many things!!! Especially for someone setting up a log business - like me!! Although I do fancy a Discovery Commercial.
-
Have looked at the slappies on Clarks site,obviously the one with the toothed front edge is a lot more expensive - is it worth the extra money over the plain one?
-
May be useful for some one SANTANA PS10 LANDROVERBOX VAN LUTON DEFENDER 90 110 4X4 on eBay (end time 26-Aug-10 14:11:27 BST) There's also a Transit 4x4 for spares or repair on e-bay
-
Reminds me of an advert I once saw in LRO - "Land Rover Camel Trophy 110,genuine 6000 miles but oh what miles they were!":thumbup:
-
Have a look at 04 Land Rover Defender 110 Td5 pick up Hi capacity 47k on eBay (end time 27-Aug-10 11:03:07 BST) Could be useful for those of you who like to fell trees on side slopes!
-
Sorry to hear your bad news,they were obviously determined to take it. I had one stolen some years ago and one of the most annoying things was how many times in the following months I went to get a tool, torch or whatever and realised it was in the Land Rover! It also had brand new BF Goodrich Trac Edge tyres on that had done about 700 miles!!
-
Have a look at Budget Log Stores: Welcome - he even gives you the dimensions of the different pieces of wood you will need to build one.
-
Thats a very neat Land Rover:thumbup:, very clever chip box design but where do you put the sarnies?
-
Nothing automatic unfortunately, its just the tray on a stand,put logs in the tray,place the net around the tray and then it tips forward on the stand to fill the net.
-
I knew as soon as I typed "bag packer" that some bright spark would say something along those lines!
-
In the north east we have a body called Northwoods which is run by the Rural Development Initiatives Ltd to promote forestry business and the use of wood as fuel. I was able to only apply for assistance with the purchase of dedicated firewood machinery, so a processor was fine but not the tractor you need to run the processor (puzzling I know but their argument is you could go off and plough fields with the tractor!). It is rather specific so I ended up only being allowed to apply for a processor, a log deck and a bag packer. However, another benefit of contacting Northwoods was they helped put me through CS 30 and 31 which did save a fair bit. I hope this is of assistance to you but do not hesitate to PM me for any further info.

Just had some good news - my grant application has been sanctioned to assist with start up of a firewood business. After lots of research and visits, the choice of machine is down to either a BGU KSA370Z from Perry Plant or a Palax KS35 Ergo from Caledonian Forestry Services. They both seem to be well made, have relatively few parts to go wrong and are the same price. So it is really difficult to choose between the two, it may just come down to who I can get the best deal from. Any one got any views they would like to share?
-
Have sent you a PM for contact details as have info which may be of use

I just visited some one last week and they were using an ice pick to pull the logs off the log deck onto the processor. Could be useful in the winter!
