  1. We charge £25 per hour + fuel and travel at £0.45 per mile for a processor. Think if we charged some of the prices quoted here we would have no work for it.
  2. Went down the Dmax route. Not towed 3.5 tonne yet but I am sure it would be happy on flatter roads but as Matt mentioned it geared a bit high so stop start on hilly lanes could prove tricky. You have the low range box; not quite sure how it works but the diff will start chewing up your tyres on corners.
  3. See you soon Paul Looks like you have the route sorted I am afraid Dartmoor has laid on typical weather for you. Might need the saw to get here after the winds last night.
  4. Don't know about the Hakki but did 15-16 tonnes today with our Farmi. Think that would equate to 30 m3 of logs. Niceish processor stuff a spare pair of hands and telehandler.
  5. I tried to do something halfway between yours and another I found online. Can't help thinking it looks a bit like micky mouse
  6. Cut tree down 100% effective
  7. Hunting around on the internet for a design to copy. Should have looked on here first Nice work delabodge Did you turn the legs to fit a hole or got one of those nifty tools like a die to shape the ends?
  8. Presuming all saws come with them. Got a 346 XP and MS 460 So I just take the screens out?
  9. Keep reading about you chaps taking them out but are they not there for a reason?
  10. Krpan 18 tonne Winch is basic but works well
  11. Not arguing that just you saying it will get a VIRUS has proved false so far. Probably jinxed it now
  12. "Its a false economy to buy a pc for general use as it will at some point get a virus or hacked unless like yourself you know the in & outs." Not true. My wifes HP has never had any problems it just works. I am trying a Mac in the form of mac mini and it's nothing special. Mac V Pc Husky V Stihl Gotta love Arbtalk
  13. But the split billets are light its the unsplit rounds that are heavy and that's where the winch comes in. I don't do a vast amount of billets but with 50 odd cube we do there is no obvious drawback to working vertically.
  14. Think OP is only after 1m billets for biomass boiler.
  15. Whatever is half decent and on offer in PC world was the advice we were given when after a lap top. My wife is still happily using it as I type. 5 years on with no problems to date. HP by the way
  16. Any reason to want to have horizontal instead of vertical? For a lot less than the Posch you could have a vertical splitter with winch + tractor and loader to run it
  17. So what time at the Tuckers?
  18. I compost the chip and hand pick out the chunks and bung them in small nets. Keeps us in kindling for the winter.
  19. Very good Barry Sadly not drinking and the processing is for a customer.
  20. Processing for a chap yesterday who until recently was splitting 120 tonne a year with just an axe.
  21. Really want to Jon. But It's 2 hours each way and not doing that if I am cream crackerd
  22. Hoping to. Got a processing job during the day and just depends how knackered I am afterwards
  23. This looks like a pretty good prediction Britain to be hit by entirely typical weather
