Hi, Hope I'm allowed to post a link to arbtrader on the firewood forum Selling my log delivery truck. Still runs sweet as a nut. Would be a good truck for someone looking to enter the firewood game, just reduced from £3250 to £2750. Just bought a new truck so must go. Tipping Isuzu TF Pick-up (Price Reduction) ArbTrader Arborists Classifieds Thanks Ian

I'm in a similar position now, got a 2.5 tonne JCB 802 which has been a super bit of kit and never let me down, currently got a standard fixed grab on her. Looking to upgrade in the next year or two. The new 8 tonne JCB 86-c personally looks a top contender mainly due to dealer support in the area and good back up. Eddie how do you think the new 8 tonne JCB 86-c would compare to the Kubota of yours, I saw in the online brochure that JCB also offer a knuckle boom version too. Ian

LGP EDDIE - Thats a great set up you have there Ive got a 2.5 tonne jcb with fixed grab which works well and am considering upscaling to a larger machine with rotating grab, however from looking at the weight of a rotating grab of around 500-700kg on a 8 tonne machine it doesnt give you much capability to lift larger pieces of wood at full reach when attached does it:confused1:

Hi, I've got some good lengths of oak butts some straighter than others. Most around 3 meters long and 60cm in diameter all road side. Average per saw log I work it out as: 4.6 cubic meters 161 cubic ft 124 hoppus ft How much should I expect per log, a guy who owns a saw mill says he will give me £150-200 per log collected, would this be good price? Should I ask him to give me a price based on hoppus ft?

I've got some big timber to process into logs which is to big for the processor. i.e 30-40 inch oak butts. Just wondering whats the best way to process into logs, was thinking of getting a long splitter to cut them down so they can go through the processor. Has anyone any experience of the cone splitters etc? How you others get around processing big timber? Thanks in advance for any help on this one

I cant seem to find out at what density to thin oak woodland. The trees are 30 meters tall and they are all approx 85-95 years old, some a bit bigger than others. I know they are all competing for light in the canopy. Is there a general rule i.e 4 meters between trees etc. Are there any books around than might shed some light. Will post pic's later Cheers in advance for any help on this one

Stack and split as normal, wood is an orgainc material and as such does rot when old. aslong as its not crumbling into bits you shouldnt have a problem

Me to looking for artics of cord delivered:laugh1:

Interesting to hear peoples replies on the s-350, looked the best processor around when i saw one working at the arb show. Alycidon, I rekon you must be able to modify it to put in bigger rings for splitting?
