I pay £1.50 for 3kg bags of kiln dried kindling Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

One small thing I noticed. When viewing attached pictures you get the option at the top right to save the photo or on the left hand side you can press done. On all my other apps "done" is on the top right so I keep pressing save by accident instead of done... Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Just picked my new splitter up at the weekend

Just downloaded to iPhone. Seems good. Will get it on my iPad later. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Noticed a place near me has no seasoned hardwood left, they're selling it as part seasoned with the reason being due to high demand and a poor summer for seasoning. They are a reasonable size outfit too.

I wouldn't dream of ringing anyone at 7:40am on a Sunday! I haven't got a problem delivering on Sundays but I think it's bit thoughtless to be phoning at that time in the morning.
-
I used to deliver to a pub where he was specifically asking for it not to be dry. The logs were kept outside with no cover over them either. I don't deliver there now as I was bothered about someone thinking I supply wet logs! I took a load to another pub last week and they were really pleased they had got dry logs as everyone else they'd tried brought them wet.

I think there are other saw horses that cost a lot less that I would rather have than that one.

I got a fabricator to make one up for me. Cost me £50. Mine is only designed for 10kg bags though so you'd need a bigger tray for yours.
-
Is it actually legal to do that? I always think door to door sales is automatically dodgy But well done on getting out there anyway
-
Only thing that I would find annoying on that is that the splitting table is a bit small
-
Same, was at the West Ham FA Cup game last week. Awful game! Would like to go more but it's so expensive. Plus if it's a weekend game basically lose a whole day I could have been working! So tend to stick to night games if possible.
-
So I guess you then pack logs nets to order from your cubic meter bags once seasoned then? Just seems like too much double handling for my liking!
-
Man United. Anyone actually go to games or just armchair fans...?
-
I wouldn't mind knowing how well seasoning in the nets works as well. Would be much better to be able to fill nets from spring onwards when I've more spare time. What would bother me is that the bags seem to stack better when the cut ends of the logs are facing up. That can't be as good for seasoning as having them facing the other way round?

Always fancied doing a holz hausen but I don't have the time to mess around doing it

Thanks for the help. I'll see what brackets are on it when it arrives and give the dealer a ring if I'm none the wiser. It's got a bucket and bale spike with it already. Only other attachment I want is the pallet forks. It would have been a bonus to have been able to borrow attachments from other people but not essential. It will most likely be kept for a long time (10+ years ). Sounds like it would cheaper to buy any old pallet forks and have the right brackets welded on to those in this case. Rather than have the cost of changing the headstock to euro plus then the cost of changing the brackets on the bucket and bale spike to euro as well. I can see some farmhand brackets on eBay at the moment and theres some on a local tractor dealers website as well but will have to find out if they are the right ones I need.

Got a new (to us) tractor coming to the farm this weekend. It's got a farmhand front loader on it with quick attach. I'd like some pallet forks for it so I can use the bulk bags and IBC's I've got. Do you have to get farmhand specific attachments or would attachments for other makes of loader fit on it? Any forks I've seen for sale recently come with Euro hooks. Be handy to know for borrowing other peoples attachments too.

How much profit is there hauling timber?
Ashes_Firewood replied to eggsarascal's topic in Firewood forum
If I'm reading this right, some one has started a thread asking for some costs. Someone has been good enough to provide them. Then the original poster criticises them. Nick must wonder why he bothered to reply. -
Sounds very expensive...!
-
People that use IBC's. How do you empty them? I can't see anyway of tipping them out using pallet forks. Do you have to empty by hand?
-
It looks very similar to this... Fuelwood page

I had a fabricator make me a bagging tray for £50. Tried making a frame to hang the bags on, putting a bin inside the bags, etc. etc. and none of them worked as well as the bagging tray does.
-
The thing that puts me off doing softwood (apart from a lot of people not wanting it) is that you put the same amount of time in to felling and processing it as you do hardwood but then you're expected to sell it for less... so bear that in mind with pricing!
-
You're right people seem to be able quantify how much they are getting a lot better when you say 2 builders bags than if you try and tell them it's 1m3. I've done a few loads out in builders bags now and think it might be the way to go next winter. People seem a lot happier to pay say £90 for 2x 0.5m3 builders bags than they are to pay £90 for a 1m3 trailer load despite them being basically the same?!
