  1. Yeah sited about 20 m from nearest house. Fill by hand couple times a day. Takes less than couple mins. Clean ash out ( couple shovel fulls) once every 4-6 weeks. Guy who sold it to us has 2 himself so seen them working. One of them has clocked up £12000's worth of rhi payment in just over a year.
  2. Yes. It's called a central boiler. Google it its on 1st page. Imported from Canada. It has the tank built into the housing so it is very compact. Looks like a garden shed with a chimney. Pumps the hot water through a flow and return pipe sited underground. Looks like a bombs hit the farm at min with 700mm trenches dug everywhere.
  3. Yes mate, wood, cut to 900mm long and split into billets or left in round up to about 6 inch. All softwood, stuff that woulda been burnt on fire in yard.
  4. 90kw to heat 2, 4-5 bedroom draughty farm houses, a smaller one bed type bungalow barn conversion and a 2-3 bed stone barn conversion. boiler will be at its full capacity so we're told.. we've had boiler sat in yard for a year. got all the ground works dug and concrete base down for burner. should be installed 1st week jan.. i'll post pics as it goes in..
  5. number plate K80 LOG for my log delivery truck... i also shoot a kreighoff K80
  6. we're currently installing a central boiler system.. has its own built in water tank etc.
  7. I go on there all the time. Never had problem putting posts up, not even when I first joined. Get a great deal work from there (straw sales etc)
  8. As above. Any self employed climbers available near to amersham in bucks as poss for work as and when needed. Can fit jobs in around you to be honest. Gearing the tree work side down as don't have enough time to concentrate on it 100% so don't need someone full time as we did before.
  9. From where to where and what volume??
  10. havent done a tree job for over a month.. and dont have any in pipeline as yet either.. but only off 25/26 then back in lorry..
  11. Have artic timber trailer with crane if any use??
  12. 45-50 cubic metres if that helps
  13. cant help you with nets nut be with you late morning/lunch time with your quality load 3m birch/alder cut in may....
  14. that is how a load should look... they were 3.4m lengths so the trailers total length is used.. majority cut to 3m lengths and want same per ton or per load which equates to same money as i was payin for this load.. instead of 9m long you get 10.2m's.. for some reason no one wants to cut to 3.4's... think its cos they can maybe get 2 bays of 3m on their forwarder but cant get 2x3.4's.. i'll give you call tomorrow ben to let you no what i have left.
  15. no problem.. be with you tuesday lunch time to move that wood.
  16. actually your wrong.... 3 bays of 3m lengths seasoned would be light... i've never sold any cord as seasoned.. i tell the customer when it was cut, then they can make their own mind up as to what the moiusture content is... the cord i've been selling recently was cut around may time and the mix that they produce has enough oak mixed with it to make sure the weight is around 25 ton..... the loads i've sold are 2.4 m lenghts so they get 4 bays on load.. which makes it heavier.. when the wood is fresh felled it is stacked on various parts of the estate in 100 ton stacks.. the cutters are payed by the ton so the forwarder driver weighs every grab full that he puts in the stack... i buy by the load but the head forester no's how many tons are in each stack and the price per load is reflected on fact that it might have lost weight due to seasoning.. now the load i took to treemon actually weighed just over 25.5 ton on my weigher.. but a load i took out few days previously to marlow weighed just under 25 tons... usually when i take the last load out of a 100 ton [green] stack i may have to top up out the next stack with 3 or 4 grab fulls... but never any more than that.. the cord is predominantly birch and alder whichdrys very quickly... marlow said the birch was 22%.. but i bet the oak was still 35-40.. hence the 25 ton loads...
  17. would be if its free to collect??
  18. stop it... you'l make me blush.. have to say most of week has been pleasure driving and loading in the cold but today not so good.... got soaked loading this morning.... torrential rain all the way up to measham.. did stop for half hour while unloading then never stopped all way home..
  19. no not seasoned... cut a month ago.. could deliver next week
  20. where abouts exactly
  21. just deletef a few
  22. <p>hi.. only have the one lorry to be honest.. trouble youl have is it'l be very similar cost to run a smaller lorry so your price per ton will go up by a 3rd as i get a 3rd more on compared to a smaller truck... can crane over hedge if it helps</p>

  23. mixed hardwood.. 3m lengths so 3 bays on trailer.. approx 25 tons at £1400
