    The cats right the jippo stick as we call our 131 seem to suffer really bad with blocked oil pumps. £25 quid to sort out ours at dealer I thought was pretty cheep

    most of the cord I'm buying is ash sycamore been down ages I'd like to see you get 26 tone on 3 bays. When a lorry comes in my yard I want to see 4 bays of 2.5 not 3 bays of 3meters there's more volume. If I'm paying out good money for transport I want as much as pos on there. As for quicker to process it makes no odds if your setup to do cord if there 2m or 5m there will be one piece if cord after another going through the machine back to back. Also if you could sell it 5 times over why not put your prices up in the south there's a glut and it's driving the price down sharply what ever happens in the south usually spreads north .

    Two artic loads a week is 2600 ton so equals 5200 cube . Find the source for your cord first not the machine seem so many lads round here buy a processor then can't get the timber to feed it. Both the suppliers I used when I started now only cut soft wood and chestnut things are changing in the firewood game the big boys like till hill euro forest have the cord but want 3 years accounts and want you to take large volumes regularly and pay in good time.

    Had a 6 inch pezalatto for a week put new blades and anvil in it and it was still awfull. Local firm had a big pezalatto had it less than 18 months roped it out and sold it for 40% of what they paid. But that firm was funded very heavily by grants so they can afford to do that. Have never seen one myself so don't know. God my finger hurts from pressing the button on the joystick all day think it's going to blister

    So your going from 12cube a week to 5200 a year That's over 150 k for cord with out the transport so by the time you found somewhere to store that volume payed for the bags payed the fuel it's going to be into 200k Am I missing something as I can only add a 40% to my volume per year?

    How much does it hold???

    If the pezalatto processor is anything like there chippers I'd give it a wide berth

    Was that including installation costs?

    If that's delivered and it good straight cord IE ash beech sycamore and not full of small stuff it's a good price. Plus 2.5 meters long not 3m if it's 3 you all only get 3 bays on on an artic

    It's an avridge hardwood vey light when dry so burns quick we mix it in at about 10% and don't get complaints. Drys prity quick and never had mold problems with it.

    I've seen the work the children's trust do first hand it's a really worthy cause come on guys see if we can match last years total,

    Can you explain the reason why it's not good I've been told it draws nutrients out of the ground but I would of thought it was a case of putting to many in?

    Somebody with that mentality is not going to succeed in any buisness. You need a lot of different machinery to cope with a wide range of cord if you can get it right there's money in it. Buying 50 tonne is only ever going to be pocket money. Selling over 500 is the start of a viable buisness. Don't get me wrong there's a local firm doing 10000+ ton kiln dryed with the introduction of RHI on kiln drying wood there feeling the pinch and discounting there products so even the big boys can hit in hard times.

    Why would you want 12 way on a log no bigger than 350 with 420mmyou end up with a log that's a little small. Plus your going to end up with logs of 60 mm going to nothing long thin the only plus is it would dry quick. 12 way has to be a window knife look on tajfun website

    Trying to give some one advice on any thread that it's taken you 20 years to take on board yourself is nothing to get upset about
