    If you stick with the four way and are not lazy about moving the blade up and down you can get pretty good logs off the Farmi using is as just a splitter. The Fuelwood makes nice logs but a lot of kindling at the same time. Nothing beats a good vertical splitter and human eye for neat logs though

    With a few mods the Farmi processor can be made to do rings quicker than a vertical splitter and would give loads of options if you can get some lengths out. Admittedly not as quick as splitta 400 but probably near half the price and maybe quarter the price if you can pick up a second hand one.

    Will a small aline run one? Watched a demo the other day and Fuelwood had a big old power pack running it.

    One hellava thunderstorm last night. Continuous lightning for what felt like hours. Love it but hope the animals aren't too shacked this morning. This was the lightning at 01.00 this morning

    I charge £27 by the hour plus 45p a mile each way + Vat. Average cost per cube per cube is much the same as GDH at £10 - £15 per cube. Rarely get to process "processor sized wood":001_rolleyes: Only running a Farmi but it's a very productive machine

    While down in the SW we often don't have any train connection due to flooding at Dawlish. Doesn't matter though as the Londoners drive to their holiday cottages in Cornwall

    On another forum some guys were raving about this set [ame=https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01MU7GDW0?psc=1]LESOLEIL 121 Pcs Combination Wrench and Drive Socket Tool Kit Set with Reversible Ratchet: Amazon.co.uk: DIY & Tools[/ame] Got the Halfords myself. Not the greatest but good enough

    Think we may get all three which ever way we vote!

    Thanks so much for this recommend They got one and are as pleased as punch with it

    Sorry R5 Wasn't trying to be rude just didn't know what you meant. The chaps have explained it now. For the scale we are at I probably should stick with chucking them out by hand though

    "fork sockets on boxes" What are they?
  13. Woodworks
    Good man, thanks Good information there especially protecting the galvanising as that had not crossed my mind. Was hoping to get away with 1200mm forks and small packer on the inside to get the crate out over the truck. The rotator gives 150mm spacing on it's own and my greedy boards are pretty much flush with outer edge of the truck.

    I work on the principle that they wont so don't try to find out.

    Hmmm the guys who I am looking to get the forklift from have found a pallet rotator with side support for sensible money but you are saying the top support is the most important. Do you think this aspect could be improvised with a ratchet strap?

    If they have Kevlar protection that part should survive a hot wash if this guide is right http://www.dupont.co.uk/content/dam/dupont/products-and-services/fabrics-fibers-and-nonwovens/fibers/documents/Kevlar_Technical_Guide.pdf The decomposition temperature is 427c-482c but there may be a more to it than that and they may not be Kevlar. £65 is not disposable money to me either Watrevir.

    £700! blimmin heck. Cheapest been offered is £1800 and that has no side or top support.

    Cant see thats holly as it's a very white wood. A better picture of the grain would help but best guess is with OP at elm
  19. Woodworks
    Interesting but it does look designed for sacks but probably worth me giving Caledonian Forestry a call
  20. Woodworks
    Thanks Mate. No large quantities in fact embarrassingly small amounts but fed up with hand balling them out of crates. Worked out I spend two working weeks a year just emptying crates
  21. Woodworks
    Ye thats what I was thinking. Found a rotator with side and top supports but it's an extra 2k I don't want to spend [ame] [/ame]

    Looking at getting a forklift and rotator but wondering if the cages will withstand being flipped with 350kg -400kg of logs in them? Any experiences of the above

    Used tractors with loaders for 25 years and never needed inspection or worried about it. Always worked on the principle of don't go under any loads.

    Now found this "If you are self-employed and your work poses no risk to the health and safety of others, then health and safety law may not apply to you. HSE has guidance to help you understand if the law applies." From this http://www.hse.gov.uk/work-equipment-machinery/faq-lifting.htm

    It would come all done just wanting to understand what costs I am obliged to incur down the line. Presuming it's a once a year thing?
