I believe thats the same as the AMA that used to be sold by FR JONES, nice little saw great for small prunings can feel a little under powered on the hard stuff or when the timber is bigger but not a bad saw!

Be careful with the strop loop mine snapped off and the saw dropped into a stream below!! works again now but took abit of fettling:thumbup:

I might well have an old entec trukloader for sale soon! has a chinese honda copy engine on it now which works well! will be well within your budget would tow nicely behind your van as its light as and it chips 4" easily!

Hope I don't sound like an anorak,but I like checking stuff like this.

I bought an artic of softwood[26 cube they claimed] it converted into 100 dumpys or approx. 50 cube of split firewood.

I was also curious about the margin on netting logs,i took 3 dumpy bags[worth£100 to me at the time]and netted them to make 75 good nets containing 10-12 logs in each.

Results for me was@£2.50 a net I converted£100 of logs into £182 in 2.5 hours,the nets were £10 so I reckon a gain of approx.£29 a hour of effort,also gave me a new set of customers as the only garage in my town sells nets at £4.10.

Thats what I was after!!

So my 25cube load of cord at £900 would/could convert to 100ish dumpies at £50ish each making £5000 minus the cost of processing and delivery!!

If you mean nets of logs i.e 10 logs per net (average) then I would say 35-40 nets per cubic metre

So you reckon on getting 35-40 nets from a cubic metre of stacked cord, that would equate to about 2 builders type dumpy bags?

Anybody know of a conversion to work out how many bags of 9-10" split logs I will get from a cubic metre of cord!

I've been offfered 25cube of softwood cord delivered for just under £900 but I'm unsure of what that will convert to once processed!!

Any help much appreciated.

Ive read a lot on this subject as I sell firewood in an area where there are more "log snobs" than ever!! They all want pure beech or oak as thats what they believe to be best and stove installers are telling them all to only burn quality hardwoods despite the fact that scandinavia has very little hardwood and stoves a plenty!!

It is my understanding and experience that tarring of a flue is most common when people try to keep the fire in overnight by loading the stove and shutting it right down to slow the burn, this then decreases the temperature of the burn and as such the smoke temperature is lower, this mixes with the colder outside temperature and produces a condensation of the natural creasotes that every timber has (softwood in higher quantities) which then forms as "tarring" on the flue!! It is more common with softwoods that have not been seasoned enough due to the higher sap/creosote levels!!

I am now converting more and more "log snobs" to softwood and sell more mixed loads than hardwood!!

HI MATE i have a 880 mate 4ft bar thanks jon

Mendi..plogs to the rescue....you'll need a boat to collect at the moment though!!

I bet the picture of it felled shows it smashed through the greenhouse, fence and next doors house:001_tt2:!!

I get this all the time and almost expect it now, hence I add a good 50-100quid on the price to start and then when I get asked I knock it back off again.....!

You'll be very lucky to find a hire shop will have anything that big!! Mendiplogs was offering his 880 for hire and reward but I think he'd want to be assured that you could handle it without chopping yourself in half!!

Yes please if you can give me a buzz or pass my number on :-)

Cheers!

I'll pass your number on, the client has taken some photos which he may be able to send you, I can't guarantee the quality of his photography skills mind!!

Just had a quote accepted to remove a decent sized Walnut, client was going to log it all but has been told there may be a market for some of the bigger lumps!

Main stem is approx 2ft diametre and maybe 8-9ft knot free.

There should also be a few knot free 3-4ft sections at 1ft'ish diametre.

If your interested let me know and I can pass your details to the client!

I'll stay out of any bartering after I've been paid to get it down!!

I found a couple of them in my mates barn last year he inherited it from uncle! couldn't get the parts to get it going again so flogged it on ebay, made about 60-70 quid!

Love it!

I have loads of turkish friends but none of them climb trees!!

Hello Llenya, firewood is hard work! Storing timber ain't the way to go. (Ask Mendiplogs) he's sells (seasoned) logs from trees he cut yesterday.
