Thanks Steve. Didn't want to spend a tenner then not be able to add any pictures.
-
Nice one Looks a beautiful part of the world. Guess winter for you will start pretty soon?
-
Can I start a listing and then add pictures later?
-
You always get that at shows. Back in the real world have never had as good wood as some of the demos had, thats in 3 years of doing contract processing.

Very smart How do you deliver logs in a panel transit?
-
Recon your right there other than Farmi over Japa for me Powered infeed, bigger capacity, tilting conveyor plus can be self powered if you want to free up the tractor.

They had it at the last APF but don't think it was there this time.

£100K! That's a lot of staff with a chainsaw and axe Was not seriously looking as we are way to small a set up but as you say would have to have huge turnover to justify that kind of money.

Because it's in their interest to know about their trucks if they want to sell them. If I went to a dealer who knew diddly squat about what they were selling would simply walk away.

Had a look around the APF and I am always struck buy massive processors making massive logs that I could not sell without re-splitting them down to a reasonable size. The worst was the Cordking making logs only suitable for biomass boilers. I guess people buy these machines so is there demand for massive logs? The nicest logs IMO came from machines were rings get fed in on a slow conveyor and an X shaped blade makes multiple cuts to get 4" square logs from larger sections like these Posch K-600 | Jas P Wilson Splitta 400 | Automatic High Production Logs and Kindling Machine Think Growi had one as well but did not get a close look.

Had a chat with the Oregon rep at the APF. From what I could make out the steel is much the same as before. The 15% improvement comes from it being sharper out the box due to improved grinding in the factory but after the first sharpen the quality of cut is down to the sharpeners skill with a file. Did I get the wrong end of the stick? He thought these were aimed at farmers and home owners who cant keep a full chisel spot on.

Yes as said it's one of these 20X Voss Farming Electric Fence Porcelain Corner Insulator F Wire D 40mm | eBay

Don't think I had any problems once it was dry.

Ash bark beetle. I had a panic when I first found our logs with it but seems pretty harmless unless you are the bark of an ash tree.
-
Now that sounds like a cheap simple solution. Who are MVF?

Looking at some SH machinery and its fitted with a 40mm ring hitch. My truck currently has just a ball but can swap it with a hitch on an old Landrover that has a pin as well. Now did a bit of googling and came across this http://www.ntta.co.uk/downloads/SafeLegalTowingShort.pdf On page 28 it talks about various pin sizes 30mm 40mm 50mm but the only hitch I can get locally and the one on the Landy is 25mm. The pdf if seems to say this is complete no no but the trailer centre who sell hitches says it's completely normal to use a 40mm ring with a 25mm pin

what logs have you been chopping today!

Now that truck and trailer belongs on the overloaded thread. Must be at least 4 tonnes of logs on it without the trailer haha -
Not sure what the best service is for that sort of weight but would be happy to bottle it up if you want it. Got some 25L old oil drums that would be suitable.
-
Cant say I have any problems pushing my Alaskan with max cut of a 25" bar but mainly milled softwood to date. You could set up so working slightly downhill and let gravity help you.
-
If anyone is interested I have some PVA in large quantities free. I buy IBC tanks and use the cages for drying logs occasionally the tanks have some leftover in the bottom. It does not look much in 1000 litre tank but recon there must be 25 litres or more in some of them. Would not use it for glueing anything together but for sealing blanks it's ideal.

Having talked to TrakMet at the Confor show last year they sounded like they might make what you want. Might be worth an ask if they can supply a petrol motor version. I know diddly squat about mills but they offered a hell of a lot steel for the money

They man handled it all onto the machine. Cut a bit short so could not use the log lifter on most of it. Still on the bright side I didn't have to move any of it just operate the machine -

Been working up in Somerset for the last few days cutting mainly ash.

Clearly a great machine for larger timber
