    Certainly can Jon forgot how hard it is holding a 660 with a 30 on all day and pulling/lifting rings round. You no what they say though no rest for the wicked
  2. Mortimer Firewood
    Do you really need to do that if there going in the boiler? That's going to be slow would be better sticking them in a rack and cutting with saw or bundling and cutting with saw I've not tried the latter but think it could be done.
  3. Mortimer Firewood
    Yes a good machine but for myself I would need to buy a rotary saw to break the billets down it adds another 12 k on to the over all budget.
  4. Mortimer Firewood
    Yep some of what I've been doing is 3 ft across it hard on the body 20 t or 30 as I assume your doing arb I'd go for the 30

    I've had this debate before and we tried it and you end up with logs that are over size and kindling. We charge a lot for our firewood so it's got to be high quality IE dry and quite uniform. Processor knives are designed to break round bits down not wedges best to have processor eating cord and a good bloke on splitter. You would be amazed at what we can do in a 10 hour day

    Are you aiming for a keg mines coming along nicely it's taken a lot of training though
  7. Mortimer Firewood
    To purchase that machine you would need to be doing 1200 ton a year This IMO is not a stand alone machine it's just for doing oversize you would be twice as long doing small stuff. Big splitter and rotary saw would be more suitable I think. Why the opp just doesn't get a 360 and sort the load out is beyond me anything over 400mm gets cut into rings and through a good vertical splitter. We did 150 t of over size last year and this year will be 225 ton of oversize. It's not me that's standing at the splitter for days on end though.

    That's not a spelling mistake it's a **** memory or dyslexia I don't really care which it is:lol:
  9. Mortimer Firewood
    Like I said you got the point
  10. Mortimer Firewood
    Think you need to tell google that as when I checked the spelling it came up as my spelling anyway you got the drift and that's all that matters

    You could pop up to herefordshire and pick us up jon:001_smile:

    Used in lorry beds due to in longertiverty and impervious to water seems to have anti slip property's as well, it's got to be one of the best woods for keeping the fire in. You would not want to carry much more than a 12 inch square though. ( mull all have an orgasm when he sees two long words spelt correctly )
  13. Mortimer Firewood
    No this is Kieron wood used in lorry beds your bairns would struggle to pick the offcuts up.
  14. Mortimer Firewood

  15. Mortimer Firewood

    One of the biggest firewood suppliers in the uk was started off a million pound grant off the goverment. Family's rich as we'll. Shame they have now hit on hard times
  19. Mortimer Firewood
    I'm not that big mate I was trying to get the point across that size doesn't always equate to power. Spell check please?
  20. Mortimer Firewood
    I'm out on the bike on first light work hard all day and swim or gym in an evening more I bulk up the less power I seem to have. Still show most of the meat heads up though
  21. Mortimer Firewood
    Clueless on this one I'm afraid

    What a steer in real money then [cube]
  24. Mortimer Firewood
    You really believe that check out who funded it?
  25. Mortimer Firewood
    When the biggest buyer of firewood in the uk has "issues" it's going to have an insane affect on the market. They pushed the price up in the first place so it will drop. It's been nice buying all there graded wood though @ £49:001_smile:
