    I've got a pair of mendal boots. Paid about £130 for them, find them really comfy to wear which was the most important thing for me. Only thing I've found is working in brambles and gorse has Cut the leather alot. But the gortex still keeps my feet dry.

    After speaking to the to the planning solicitor it turns out that the council are right and you do need permission to import and process wood. He said we stand a better chance of getting permission for a wood yard if it's in the woods in the first place. His advice was to just try and keep on the good side of them, start moving the wood with a trailer and see how we get on. Then apply for permission to start a wood yard in our woods. Thanks for all the help to everyone who has tried to help. I think were just going to start moving it with a trailer, a little bit a time. Then if I come across anyone who has the ability to move it get them to do it. I'd also like to look for a proper yard round our way so if you hear of anything let me know. Ill give you a wave if I see you. Again cheers all.

    Did read my pm's, Birch Grove estate doesn't have any equipment like that, but I'll look into the hardys and the farm by the sloop. Thanks for the number will give him a ring and see if he can help. Are you the tree surgeon with the disco and the 110? Currently were waiting for some form of official documents from the council out lining what we have done wrong and what we need to do about it. My dads neighbor is a solicitor and has passed on the number of a guy who just deals with planning law. So were going to talk to him with reguards to where we stand and if we can fight it. Never knew it would be such a pain to process some cord into logs.

    Yeah it is the stuff stacked by the coach. I live on tanyard lane, you must be fairly local then? Spoke to a guy called Adrian Scott who my dad knows, he gave us the number of another guy who moves turners wood for them, and he's not free until September. Can't think of anyone else to try.

    Having phoned the council and checking it was alright to dump 80 tonnes of beech cord in our field, they have now said we have 3 months to move it all as we didn't apply for permission to import and process timber to the site. To save us killing ourselves over the next few months and moving it by hand does anyone have or know of someone with a tractor and trailer with timber grab that we can pay to move it for us. The wood is currently in a field in Danehill, Sussex and will be moved to a bit of forest we own in Birch Grove, Sussex. A round trip of approx 2 miles. Any one know of anyone in the area Cheers Tim

    Sorry should have put I need it to be petrol/diesel engined. Sadly haven't got a tractor to run a hydraulic/pot driven one. Also needs to be around 10 tonne.

    Which saw?

    Stihl 361 for me, didn't like the 260. Its a little bit heavier with alot more grunt. If your lucky you may find a dealer who's still got one.

    I've heard Monkey Puzzle wood is worth a fair bit to a mill or a furniture maker, not sure if its true but you maybe able to earn a few more quid.
  11. tim361
    Interesting yes, at that price no way.

    I'm in Mid Sussex, had been looking for cord wood for ages so i put an add on woodlots. Got a phone call from a guy who has the wood stacked about 10-15 minuts from me. Apart from this one phone call i havent been offered anything else. Slim pickings.

    I'm buying 75+ tonnes of Beech that's been seasoned for 18 months for £2800 plus £150 delivery per load. If it works out exactly 75 tonnes that works out at £1085 per load and roughly £45 per tonne delivered. Not sure if that's a good price or not but round me there is nothing available so its that or nothing.

    Went and had a look at the stack yesterday. Took an axe so I could see how hard the wood is. Every piece I hit was solid still, even the 3-4 inch stuff so even it being out that long has not done anything.

    I've got around 75-80 tonnes of beech turning up over the next few weeks to be split for logs. It's been stacked where it was felled for 18 months and is pretty dry. My question is how long do you have with beech before the wood goes all soft and useless? And what are people selling seasoned hardwood for per cube this year? Cheers tim

    Which pickup?

    tim361 replied to tim361's topic in Arb-Trucks

    I've got up to 5k to spend. So as you say I'll just see what's around here for the money. I've got a Ford dealer about 2 miles from my house which is why I'm leaning towards a ranger. I'm also after a king cab/ super cab so have to see what's around in that configuration.

    Firstly I'm new on here so hi all. I've been looking through all the old posts and i can't seem to find any real answers, it always seems to turn into a slagging match between brand loyalists. I'm looking for a pick-up for doing small tree jobs with, delivering logs and for my misses to use around the farm. The obvious choices are a hilux, l200, navara and a ranger. I haven't forgotten a defender, I just don't find them very comfy to drive due to my height. I'd like to know what people can recommend and what positive and negative points you've found through your ownership. Cheers All
