I use a Dalen processor which will take most bent lengths because it has quite a wide feed belt.

Haddon Estate sell logs but i dont have any prices or load sizes.

I have been using a Dalen 2054 for about three years now and i find it fast,easy to use and maintain and is built to take bent lengths of cord. It uses harvester chain and will easily cut for three days heavy cutting before you notice the chain getting dull.Marshall Supplies are very quick and efficient at getting replacement chain,bars and parts out to you.

Great photo! Did well to get out without assistance!!!

Hi. Another good place to look for second hand firewood processor is The Forestry Journal. You will also be able to see various dealer adverts too.

Had problems with. Huski 266 cranks but not on any recent saws I have used.

Hi I think the most important thing is to have it stored in a well ventilated shed. If you have the means to move it around and stir it up do this when it starts to steam and look mouldy just below the surface. We did this with hardwood and softwood chip mix and it turned out just fine.

Does anyone know anything about Sunrain woodburning stoves? Are they well made and easy to control burn rate? Will be grateful for any information any one has. Thank You.

Hi. I use a Protimeter Timbermaster. I had this recommended to me because of its ease of use and accuracy.

Hi. I work on a Private Estate and we have recently bought a Dalen 2054 and Dalen log deck. It is a superb machine and would certainly recommend one. We had a look at many others and this one is most suited to our needs. We use quite a lot of bent hardwood and the Dalen has a wide feed and makes light work of it. It will take 12inch plus timber and the Harvester chain stays sharpe for hours and is very forgiving if you do hit the odd bit of mud and grit. Marshall Agri Engineering are helpful and always at the end of the phone if you have a question or want any info. We have six way and four splitters and i can't believe how fast it processes the firewood. Hope this is a help to you.

Hi.I also work on a Private Estate and have used Poplar quite a lot. We use the hybrid TT32 spp which Bryant and May the match company planted in the late sixties. We have sold the larger trees for coffin boards and the smaller trees go for pallets and haulage uses. The poplar we use ourselves is good for fencing rails and trailer boards. If it isn't in the ground it is good for years. If you use it for wood stove logs,split it and leave it in an airy shed for six months and it will burn great.It will spit on an open fire. Woodchip is also a good option and it makes good chips which soon dry. it was a long time ago when we last sold any and if i remember right it went for 50p-£2.00 hoppus ft depending on size.
