This is mine on Oak,it's a petrol 25 ton Vertical/horizontal towable around the field but not road. Had it 3 years and been extremely reliable and stops for nothing! It's been modified to one handle which is longer than original and easier to operate and I'm the only person who uses it so no dramas with health and safety.👍 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes I do sell in Essex but I'm very small and wholesale to one farm shop and a dozen or so regulars and thats as much as i want really,mine is a sideline which developed through word of mouth etc.. Once your up and running I would be happy to forward any new customers your way as I'm often unable to take on more business. If you can get the customers to your yard as you suggest you would save yourself so much time and money it would be a massive bonus. By the way I don't do nets I just do trailer loads tipped and occasional bulk bags. Regarding article loads I've read that's there's so many people that don't have sufficient access for artics and there's guys on here that supply 26t and they have a good reputation too. I know nothing about this subject or whether theres enough money in it but I honestly think from reading on here that there's a market for cord being sold in smaller quantities purely from the lorry access situation.

Welcome to the forum..you would be very close to Brentwood fireplaces just off the Ongar road,it's been well noted on here that stove suppliers can be an invaluable outlet if you can make the right impression with the owner leave him some samples/prices and your enthusiasm. Ensure him the quality of the wood your able to supply him / his current / existing stove users and how locally sourced it is etc.. You could find yourself building quite a large round very quickly,so make sure that you have enough wood ready and available as to let no one down. Your in a great location of townies semi-rural houses and rural farmsteads. Sounds like you've got a great opportunity there and yes there is always lot of competition around but you've just got to find your niche in the market. I wish you the best of luck. Chris.

Nice job Chris! Without the pictures this would have been harder to demonstrate. Incidentally do you still tip the bags into your truck and roller deck them off at the other end or are you delivering the bag? I've now got away from bags and I'm using IBC cages which works for me, the volumes are consistent and I don't have any of these bag issues... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi A Ive got away with stacking 2 high with a pallet in between but the top one always seems to be balancing which is no good to anybody. I look with envy when I see pics on this forum of well stacked bags and how perfect they have them loaded on top of one another. I'm sure there's someone that will come forward with the answer or secret! Chris. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

In a field with a log splitter! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for quick response,in fact you both got back to me before the engineer Did!! I will strip it down within reason and see if I can get it running sufficiently till service. Thanks again. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi everyone,can anyone advise why my the flue from my boiler has just started blowing out black acrid smoke? It runs on heating oil and I think from memory I had something like this in a previous house but can't remember what was the cause. It's a Worcester boiler and it's 2years old and I do know it's due a service! I've turned the system off until I can get a engineer out,but would love a heads up to what may be causing this to happen... Thanks L. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi Gals n Guys I can vouch for the burning of holes in the standard bag...I have used proper vented bags and tried the DIY with gas torch and to great success for half the price and I find that my DIY bags hold there shape well too. I tagged a picture of one of mine,nowhere as many holes as Suggested but the holes are the size of tennis balls! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Tony I'm with you on your first paragraph but I have still sent posts that once I have read them on the forum I wish I hadn't!! I check out the forum most days but don't participate in areas I have no real knowledge or experience on,that said I sometimes reply because an interesting thread will just draw me in. : ) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

As the others have said if you get it split and allow the air to get to it I bet that two year old wood will read low 20s within a week as long as its kept dry. I cut around 2 cube of 2yo hardwood mix in 24inch rounds last week into billets and stacked onto a few pallets,today I cut the lot into logs and it's 20-25%. Now the weather has been cold,dry and a little breezy so it's been perfect for drying which defiantly helped.

Finally got around to sorting out the clutch on the Iseki,managed to jump lead & start it in gear and give it a good run which eventually released the clutch...it's now fine and this afternoon was happily pulling a large roller around the place and really tided up the ground.Thanks again for the input,saved me a few quid getting someone out to do the same thing.

Truly amazing!

Hardly a great start to the new year! Miles away from me but they wouldn't move it on locally I guess so all ears to the ground chaps.

Windfall,that's interesting...how long would you need to leave that coal before using it presuming it's been in the water for a long time?

Love em Steve..I can see a whole range developing here and the possibilities are endless,I personally can't wait for the Arbtalk ANORAK!!! ; ) Mines a large one please.

Indecently,I wonder who was recording this? They must of had a gut feeling something terrible would happen!

Don't get me wrong I respect and love old trees and they deserve there place,but that last shot is fantastic and wouldn't look out of place on the front of any forestry magazine! Top job.

Thanks for all the replies...it makes a lot of sense to a layman mechanic like me! It's down the field only covered with a tarp and it most definitely sounds like things have got a bit sticky inside with moisture and rust. I had it running in neutral yesterday dropped the revs right down and tried to slip it gently into gear but it won't have it...to start it in-gear I would have to by-pass the safety start switch as it will only start with the clutch pedal engaged,I will give it all ago and thanks again for advice,if it doesn't work out I will post lunge pics from hospital! Thanks L.

Cloudy but got a chilly wind today as a result I've got the woodburner going in the house,first time in a week! Hope all the folk are doing the same and get some of that wood burnt.

I've got a small Iseki tractor that moves trailers around and such which I have not used for about 4 months,went to use it yesterday and couldn't get it in gear basically the clutch wouldnt engage,when you push the clutch down it's feels as it should but I don't get why it was ok 4 months ago and is not working now. What's the way forward,any suggestions?
