    Bps is responsible for some monster trees been felled round here. I've been asked to fell trees by farmers so they comply. Conversation usually goes as follows..... Can you fell this ash tree, why this 200 year old ash lets drop those alders or that crappy willow, no I want the ash down want to sell the wood to the log man and it's big and makes a mess on my ploughing. I usually leave at this point as you might as well be talking to a brick

    Cost verses reward figures don't stack up cost of machinery higher cost of chip is huge. Would of been ok before the first cut in RHI:blushing:

    So your saying the state should enforce all law at all times not expect there enforcers to have a little common sense. :sneaky2:

    Up here they wasn't anything but oak. Strange how it differs from county to county. I can't shift softwood either going to give a barrow bag away with two bags of hardwood next year.
  11. Mortimer Firewood
    Blessing in disguise me thinks. Have you been in touch with your local euro forest agent surly they have got hardwood some areas there well priced others a little expensive. Last time we bought hardwood off them it was £38.00 there was a bit of birch and alder in it but ok we bought ours through a hauliers acount so may of got discount.
  12. Mortimer Firewood
    I'm guessing at this ... He probably felled them for a bit of cash after he finished his day job so would you be able to prove responsibility. Would of been so much easier to dismantle it.

    Looks like any salt in anything but moderation is bad for you where ever it comes from its basicly 2 elements binded together with tiny trace of other minerals. Naturaly ocurring salt has to be better than the man made stuff. Look what salt spread on the roads does to your car. We planted a laurel hedge alongside a paved path the fitting guide for slabs said don't use grit salt. Unfortunately the client used a huge amount this winter:sneaky2: the laurels are looking a bit burned to say the least.

    Would love to have a rip round in that. SAF

    No no no no I don't believe it you start offering money for trees like that and the land owner starts to think the forestry grown stuff is priceless. Just like idiots paying high £40 for soft or high 50 for low grade hard. It's starting to have an effect on us merchants with a fellow merchant reporting his supplier has stuck it up £10 a tonne. He buys 800 900 ton off him. The guys using RHI to bolster there buying power are also not helping

    What ever the story behind them trees they should never of been left like that Any body can fell a tree it's 3 cuts safely breaking them down once under compression or tension is a bit of an art. If you do it my advice would be always have a clear escape route.
  17. Mortimer Firewood
    I'd be happy to have one in the forestry bordering us Would be quite rewarding seeing one in its own environment Reckon the old girls cat must have a bit of lynx init the way it was dragging a rabbit twice it's size over the roof

    The only heat source I could come up with was a waste oil burner as a few friends run garages and workshops so free fuel. Like everything time to get it up and running cost verses payback or worse failure. I think there's only one route tysons farme 2000

    Hilti fixing or tec screw and screw towards track then break tec end off with hammer If you go down tec route will be worth hiring a proper tec gun

    15% they must be filling there quota rather quickly

    Interesting stuff I'll be trying some himalaya salt might have to have the odd bag of smiths crisps though
  22. Mortimer Firewood
    Yep that's at the top of my list too did you ring that guy??
  23. Mortimer Firewood
    We're both firewood merchants so have Thor magick 13t him electric me petrol so I can sit it next to the processor to brake the ugly bits down. Thor or Riko do smaller cheeper machines that are still capable of a good days work
  24. Mortimer Firewood
    In what way???
  25. Mortimer Firewood
    Leave well alone if your not use to cutting big hardwood that tree ain't goin to give you a second chance.
