we use a transaw for our cords 6 inch to 14 and for the larger wood and rings split them into billets that are log size a meter long on our horizontal bindenberger giant. then put through a drum saw AMR SAT4-700 which out put nearly matches the transaw

<p>Hi Steve not yet received invoice for renewal of add for alford Firewood</p>
-
as the price of cord goes up i put my price up and bearing in mind the 700 cube i a m selling this year was bought at last years prices still making money on it. to me its no different to planting wheat for a year then selling the next
-
i am saying at that price i am making money as hire rate of tractor forklift etc is what i would price out contracting . all these wet days the men have work in dry shed then on good days we get on with other jobs . other than that they would be sent home short hours rather than make a mess ground working . also most times we are processing 4 boxs an hour and above i only costed three I am not losing money as they are not working hard. i believe in a fair price for the right product . I am charging more money than most round here but my logs are dry .they are stored in boxes for about a year three high with sheet on top. i have supplied three new customers this week that have had logs delivered by others in the last week that were too wet to burn .

finished harvesting so went to fair and yes prices were good. Meet a hay customer with two of his friends who were there looking for logs told him my price. However they purchased a load between them. was promised delivery the next week. However i took him his hay this week only to have to help move logs out of the way. felt damp so asked when they were delivered. he replied was last week after a fair bit of messing about and they were ment to be seasoned but not burning very well so his mates not wanting what they originally purchased. Put my meter on them they were in mid 30s mixed wood as well . so thats three people who wont be there next year -
we season/store in tate boxes but unload at yard into tipper and charge £110 for mixed hard wood delivered up to 15 miles

get good old ones from local potato merchant £20 each collected if stored dry last a long time if left out rot about 2 years un sorted ones in need repair £5 - £15

Be careful of just supplying kiln dried as i have both on offer at the moment and had customers turn it down as it burns to quick and only want normal seasoned stuff.
