Add a deposit to your bulk bag price and leave your vehicle with the customer until they have got through all the logs. No unloading for you, and you won't be putting too much mileage on your truck.

The perfect solution!

Like your reasoning Mr idiot:thumbup:

As the title says.

 

I can dry all other species in half the time that sweet chestnut takes. Why is it so reluctant to release it's water?

Odd you are having problems drying sweet chestnut, I coppice Dec through to March, process , split and net the chestnut March through to May left stacked where sun and wind can get at it, it will be lovely to burn by Oct, might spit a bit though.

Have been doing it this way for over 25 years now and haven't had any complaints from customers to date regarding the logs being difficult to burn.

Hi James,

I still coppice, I use a tractor with angle iron bolted to front of tractor and pallet lifter with extra long tines to rear, this makes manouvering around stools a lot easier without a trailer

I sort my cord into species, I have four price points and I sell my logs in nets.

Oak £4.60

Mixed Hardwood ( Ash, beech, hornbeam, sycamore ) £4.00

Silver Birch £3.60

Sweet Chestnut £3.10

I have been doing it this way for the last 20 odd years and it works for me , not saying that i'm doing it right though.

Chris , pm sent.

Can't be too difficult to make these can it ? A tenner is probably more realistic though.

Tell me about it, i struggled for hours fitting a new one on my Hakki, eventually did it, then spoke to M Large and they said i should of sent it back to them and they would of done it for me.

Happens with mine as well, but normally when it's splitting through a knotty bit .

must of been stacked well otherwise it would be starting to get pulpy by now.

Their might be a lesson for us all here, don't tip a load unless the person who is paying for it is present and is happy with what they are getting.

Dear Santa,

Can i please have a flame thrower for xmas.

Got stung 3 times yesterday, yet another wasp nest in a tree i have taken down and not spotted the nest. Damn they sure got angry when their home hit the floor.

Anyone else been having more problems with them this year ?

None of these seems a quick fix. I will look into getting a licience for grazon 90

 

Thanks for all the advise. I really dont fancy pulling out 12 acres worth of bramble roots :-)

Try Napalm, once the favourite clearance method of the American military.

:thumbup:We cut all our own wood now keeps us occupied all year, cutting, processing and delivering, got our costs down to about 100 pounds for 24 ton stacked in our yard, means much more profit

I will give you £500 for 24 ton stacked in my yard !

Totally agree. Yep, they made a bit of a pigs ear of it, wrong tools and techniques etc, but come on, these guys put their lives on the line everyday of the week.

Not sure they do these days Luke, health & safety regs within the emergency services doesn't like them taking risks, especially with their own lives.

treequip ,

Sounds to me like you are employed in the fire service and have a second job doing tree work.

cheers dylan, the pics have helped fire up my imagination.

Got any pictures of it Dylan.

You lot must be nuts, fancy burning your stock, bit like burning fivers:biggrin:

As jon say's put on a coat !

I have a feeling Old Hand and M Large may be one and the same.

i did 20 ,bulk bags the other ,cut,bagged & stacked,

Are you powering that processor with a Lawnmower:thumbup:

May be the good old tax payer is subsidising the people selling a cube of Oak for £35 !
