I have priced for a 1600 TimberKing mill "Ex works" I have been quoted $24,292.00 incl for 20 No Dakin-Flathers blades and a $500.00 spares package. About £15,000.00 + VAT if applicable Shipping is the killer. quoted at $4440.00 = £2,775.00 + VAT Anyone interested in "going halfers" on the carriage with an order for a TimberKing Mill. "halfers" on shipping being pro-rata'ed on value of order. Container to be shipped to Belfast Docks, and back-load other Mill to the UK. Or perhaps visa versa. Larger value 1/2 of order determines destination Port perhaps?. If say, someone wants a TK2000 Mill or bigger. And split the final destination truck transport costs for the other Mill? I got 2 weeks to decide. Marcus 07764211521 My contact is Will Johnston on: Will Johnson <[email protected]>

I had been accepted for the NI RHI scheme. I declined to progress with the installation until they decided exactly how much they were for paying and how it was to be measured or calculated. My 6 month period has expired. I may reapply. BUT I am NOT for buying into an as yet unspecified "pig in a poke" scheme. Regards, Marcus

Yupp!

Apologies Jonothan, Will simply stated that, apart from minor "CE" compliance modifications, the US and UK mills should be the same specification, model for model. I yet await to find out the difference in price between the US and the UK. If I get no response from Matt Marriott inside a week I will ask TimberKing to price me a Mill Stateside. And I have reasons to imagine I will not get a response from Matt btw. Regards, Marcus

Wow, emailed TimberKing on Thursday past with a US 1600 /UK 1600 model specification query. Got a reply from Will Johnston (the company President!) on Friday, i.e. the next day. Wow!

Jonothan, Twice the Price is ABSOLUTLY correct For a LT20 with hydraulic options £17,938.00 Plus a wheel kit at 4k = 21,936 plus UK carriage at about £650.00 = £22,588.00 at 1.6 Ex rate = $36,140 = virtually twice the US $price of 18,995 for the LT35HD Talk about being bent over double.

Who designed/installed your system? What is your heat loss/heat demand? How well insulated is your house? How long, or how often were you told you would need to burn the boiler btw? I am heating about 3750 sq ft of 1990's build with exactly the same set-up. 40kw/2200l tank. It is lit once per day, at quitting time, drives underfloor for a couple of hours, and brings the accumulator tank up to temp. Which then provides heat to drive all the heating for a couple of hours in the morning. Cept we also run a wood burning stove in the front room. marcus

That will be a priority am tomorrow.:lol: Having already stirred the pooh-pooh with Norwood, re the trans-Atlantic price disparity. Especially since the sell the exact same spec/model designation on both shores. Timberking will be next, in the absence of any interested UK Dealer, despite my ph call contact. cheers m

Shipping about £2500.00 plus an inconsequential 2.2% IMPORT duty, plus VAT. The only rub is I will require an intermediary Stateside to purchase on my behalf. But! Compared to the LT20B (UK model) I was quoted for at £11,330.00 + del to NI. Far far better spec and value. m

Hydraulic motors are relatively inexpensive new. Take a look at Hydraulic Gear Pumps | White House Products | Hydraulic Pumps And pick a spec to suit.

I would recommend a tractor PTO driven type, i.e. with its own self contained hydraulics. Can run the tractor at low engine rpms, esp if 2 speed PTO, and still get good performance Sommat 13, 15 tonne upwards. Try Riko, or Marshall Agri Eng (for KRPAN brand) I bought a 17 tonne Krpan and am pleased with it.

LT35 Hydraulic Portable Sawmill by Wood-Mizer OK The head up/down and blade feed are electric. And the log turner aint a sexy chain type. But in terms of VFM @ $18.995.00 =£11,575.00 An absolute "no brainer" I think

Round here in Co Antrim it is all bog-fir. Co Londonderry, where I grew up, for bog-oak. All I have access tolocally is bog-fir from various neighbours. marcus

For a Lumbermate 2000 in Bangor, the usual non answers to questions about viewing and offers of free delivery, after payment:lol:. Sigh Why do I bother. That is the 2nd ebay scam bandsaw for sale in Northern Ireland, recently, that I am directly aware of.

Rob, Your last paragraph as above sounds very sensible. My notion was to try and perhaps just split the big log down the middle, to attempt to make a large bench seat. And a chainsaw mill would be the sensible way to attempt this. Cheers Marcus
-
The only reason I queried was a post on the ForestryForum, about slabs (patties?) cut from a root or butt, complete with some included stone and clay, cut clean through. And, as I understood, cut with a bandsaw mill. And blunting the blade, but not trashing it beyond resharpening. I would have thought it to be completly impractical. m oops PS This would be very well seasoned stuff that has been sitting piled up in the air, for guessing 50 years. So anything left should be solid.

I ask since we are surrounded by peat bogs. Some contain piles of bog Oak, some bog Fir. These were removed during peat cutting operations or subsequent land reclamation. Many people have attempted to cut them up for firewood and given up. But surely if out of a bog, they should not be gritty, well unlessen the roots. I have trysted with a neighbour for a pile of bog fir, the intention was to fish out characterful pieces for to put in the flower garden for the Mrs. However there a couple of trunks going on 30' long, by probably 30" dia, little over the 1/2 round left mind.............but remarkably straight..........................but with a very clear to be seen sprial grain. I fancy trying to cut them after I get my hand in cutting low value Sitka. (After I actually purchase a bandmill btw ;D ;D) Cheers Marcus Am I wise?

I cut my chainsaw teeth on an 08s, way back in the late seventies. Her was only replaced as a "frontline" farm saw with one of the last of the 026's. An her still be going. Some electronic gubbins that was pressed onto the end of the crankshaft, and an odd plug, was the only repair and maint I ever recall.

40' container Ex Alabama to NI for sub £2800.00
difflock replied to difflock's topic in General chat
If you had seen what I and the Mrs. routinely brought back from Germany, France and Spain in der Galaxy, along with ourselves and 2 weans. No I would not be at all surprised:001_tt2: But even my combined credit cards would be more than maxxed out before I filled a 40' ISO Container, even the space left around a sawmill. Bingo Got it! Genuine American kiln dried Hickory firewood. Wonder what price that is stateside? -
40' container Ex Alabama to NI for sub £2800.00
difflock replied to difflock's topic in General chat
Probably so, Virgina being substantially nearer the East coast ports? As I understand the overland element is always more pricey than the trans-Ocean element Plus as a private or "non-business" shipper I get politely invited to bend-over. Hey-ho Knowing what I have both been quoted, and indeed paid, to bring stuff from the "English" mainland to Northern Ireland, I thought, for the vast distance involved, that this was a quite reasonable quote. Though I would be seeking another couple of competitive quotes before committing. Regards, Marcus -
Anyone want to go "halfers" on an order Ex Cooks saws, or near thereabouts. Regards, Marcus

Wor one and only Son, bought a onesie Cow costume, for some particular party. He prided himself on wearing it repeatdly to dubious, possibly debauched drunken parties. Without EVER allowing it to be washed. PS Rich, I would not worry about the count-down to the New Year, after posting THAT image.
