    Krpan 18 tonne Winch is basic but works well

    Not arguing that just you saying it will get a VIRUS has proved false so far. Probably jinxed it now

    "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

    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.

    Think OP is only after 1m billets for biomass boiler.

    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

    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

    So what time at the Tuckers?

    I compost the chip and hand pick out the chunks and bung them in small nets. Keeps us in kindling for the winter.

    Very good Barry Sadly not drinking and the processing is for a customer.
  12. Woodworks
    Processing for a chap yesterday who until recently was splitting 120 tonne a year with just an axe.
  13. Woodworks
    Really want to Jon. But It's 2 hours each way and not doing that if I am cream crackerd
  14. Woodworks
    Hoping to. Got a processing job during the day and just depends how knackered I am afterwards

    This looks like a pretty good prediction Britain to be hit by entirely typical weather

    Think you are over estimating what a cube of dry logs weigh. I would be surprised if 3 cube of dry larch was more than a tonne.

    Cook quite a lot. Nothing very flash roasts, lasagne etc. If we have guests probably do a tarte tatin. Pastry, sugar, fat and token bit of fruit; what's not to like
  18. Woodworks
    I'm hoping this will ring true

    Hang in there TCD Lots of potentially cold months to come and hopefully all the small cheap outfits will be sold out soon.

    Rather regretting my support for the Met office today. Forecast was a few showers soon dying out. Reality was showers on and off all day

    A few of 1 and none of 2 Most of ours are 3. and 4. 3. Professional types who have a nice new stove and want a quality product having had wet carp off others. Never complain about small diameter logs and a bit of twist hedgerow stuff. 4. Seriously wealthy incomers who fancy the a taste of the country life which means having a good sized stove or even biomass boiler. Both 3 and 4 just want a dry logs at an agreed time. Never have any hassle over price.

    Jon how big is The Tuckers Grave?

    BBC Weather - What is a weather 'bomb'?

    Met office for me. At the end of the day they provide most of the information and others just interpret it. At least that's my understanding.

    It was good Jon. Went to a woodfuel event. A place called Race down Farm in west Dorset. A chap was getting a large proportion of his timber for his log business from his farm hedgerows. Interesting hearing how to manage the hedges for fuel. Also got to chat to a hedge laying chap called George Pigeon who sounded like a real expert at it. Saw some of his handy work and it was real class.
