    I feckin hate standing in front of processor most boring job I do I picked the quickest so I don't have to stand there. We've had the same argument about bars vs blades there's pros and cons in both briquette seller is getting more than me but it's bigger chain more dust I like my chain to fly through my machine has done 900 ton now with the same bar been dressed and turned. The taj ain't perfect but it's the best of the bunch will it be in two years I don't know I'll have a new one by then:001_smile:

    Theres a chap in Ludlow a quaint little market town playing the trumpet in the streets earning 200 a day. What got me was the people begging cigs outside the children's hospital one night two guys harassed a young mum that much i intervened and before i new it there was about 6 cops on the scene. Note to self don't put people straight outside the biggest cop shop in brum:blushing:

    I use to be able to sleep for England but as I've got older its got less and less now when i wake I'm awake even after a night on the ale. weekdays or weekends I'm usually awake by five need a bucket of coffee before i can face the world though

    The only reason i buy graded is I've not got a 360 so pulling bits out with the loader is a pain in the arse. if i had a 360 id grade it out myself.
  7. Mortimer Firewood
    Yes why not then we can smuggle in loads of 362s and make a fortune we all have to come up with a better idea than swallowing them to come through customs. Then we could do the same with angle grinders cut off saws circular saws

    This rebaud 550 is the sort of machine you would grow into after many years of selling firewood. Even then most of the guys i know have multiple machines usually two processors one for big stuff one for smaller. A good quality vertical and a big horizontal. Allso have you thought how your going to load it as if it eats it that quick a forklift is out and a sizeable 360 in more coin. Ive got most of what i need some of its old but its mine and works I've had to work to get it not through grants and was not born with a silver spoon in my chops.

    So how you going to sell all these logs as if you work 100 days a year thats 10000 cube ?????????? A machine of that value can not be left idle. If you go contracting its going to be left with the big nasty stuff

    Believe me I no the cutters where my cord comes from he's just bought a brand new harvester to stand alongside his 2011 one so ye TCD sod the cutter
  11. Mortimer Firewood
    If most of the cord you buy is green i would agree that 1.5 as an average is right. Try and leave the cord in the wood as long as pos. Anything thats cut by a harvester and had bark stripped would loose 10% of its weight in 3 months. Thats an extra 10% of cord hitting the deck in my yard. It amazes me how many people don't ask for a weight ticket mind you i learned the hard way.
  12. Mortimer Firewood
    Buying by volume has never appealed to me.Stacking a timber lorry is an art. Very easy to take up space. Buy by weight everyone nows where they are.
  13. Mortimer Firewood
    Bale squeeze is the way forward

    :lol:i:lol: Recently asked my brother to get the sprayer out and mix up some round up, the sprayer body is nearly clear when I looked at it it was like tea colour. Applied it to 120 m2 shrubs turf flowers the lot client phoned two day later and said it was ready for clearing it looked like somebody had been in with a flame thrower. Good job we took the top 12 inches of soil out. Years ago I sent a lad with as trimmer and did not have a spare can so I filled a 400ml Ribena bottle up with mix on its return it was somehow put behind my seat. On a really hot day my mrs took the biggest swig out of it lets just say she wasn't happy it took a few days for her to calm down:blushing:
