What does it cost? Thanks

For those wanting to know the issue with an 18” bar is at full stroke. Just adjust block for the limit switch which is held by two 8mm bolts on top of the ram. Try it without the chain to be sure.

Just put an 18" on and run 68 link chain.
You need to adjust the end of the ram to stop it going too far back but otherwise its better in every way with 18" bar.

Or cannon are all excellent.

What is it that needs adjusting?  Looking at it with the longer bar it'll hit at the end of the cutting stroke with the ram fully extended?

We've got one of their log grabs, it bent on the first use.  We've since straightened it and strengthened and now have a cheap working log grab.

Be prepared to fix it.

Some tree species like sycamore, pine and maple etc,  seem to attract mold anyway during the drying period. 

Our Pine is particularly bad this year.  It is just on the sap wood at the log ends.  Doesn't effect the burning though.

For firewood 2.5m is to short imo.  4 stacks of 3m lengths right to the top on a wagon and drag is what firewood folks are after.

What’s sort of price should we currently be paying per ton 

iv been quoted £68plus vat a ton for red cedar delivered ?

They hold their values? New they are 11+vat, second hand 7ish.

What is the cube out put with two blokes on 8-10" timbers you reckon on an 8 hr shift?

 

20 mins to fill an IBC (1.2m3) with that set up.

Get a pair of noise cancelling bluetooth headphones and connect to your phone for internet radio, podcasts or music. Or for noisier jobs pelter 3's and the same but in ear ones.

From taking stacked creates of 25cm logs and converting them to loose filled 1m3 cages you get 1.4m3 loose from a stacked 1m3 of logs.

Hello,

What bar fits a Tajfun 400 processor?  17" 3/8 husky?

thanks

With the airflow from the fans and trying to just dry the centre 4 rows I’m wondering whether it would work same as the drying floors, I’m not after 6 days Drying I have plenty waste I can use so 4,5,6 weeks I have enough to get me to Christmas I’m just going to be short the other side.

What width is your poly tunnel?

Thanks

It’s a Duvelsdorf grab. Although I’ve looked on there webpage and it doesn’t look like they still make them. Very similar to the kelfri in the ops post. Couple of pictures of the diverter valve and quick coupling plugs for electric to diverter, sussy style cable to go between for boom extension and self retracts. Found ours second hand in the farmers guide, lucky find as was already on brackets to fit the machine, although 300 mile round trip to get it home..

Unless one can only access the ends of the logs in the stack, I am perplexed at the need for such a swivel grab, I would have thought a straightforward grab like: https://www.riko-uk.com/product/timber-grabs-loader-grabs/loader-grab-dutk105euro would be a better/cheaper bet.

But you obviously have a clearly defined requirement.

P.S.

From recall (based on comments on the Farming Forum) Albutt are probably the equivalent of Fendt in the tractor world, and priced accordingly. 

It would give me more options having the rotator, better grading of the stack prior to processing.  The Uniforest one looks just as well built as the Albutt one.  

I've had a look at the kellfri although it looks lighter duty but I'll see.

Thanks for the reply's but I'll be buying new.  They are not a muck grape with clamping fingers.  If you look at the link it's a grapple and rotator.

thanks

I'm looking for a log grab for our manitou.  The Albutt LG700 looks good but it's £5k.  The Uniforest UF1300F is £2.5k and looks similar build.  https://www.riko-uk.com/product/timber-grabs-loader-grabs/uf1300f-scorpion

Anyone got any experience of either?

Thanks
