  1. Chestnut Firewood available at roadside can arrange haulage by 8 wheeler. Located Kent/Sussex border. If interested call or text Nick 07595290954
  2. Give Ken Tongue a call 07970 060497 has big tractor based chipper say Nick gave you his number see what he can do.
  3. Clarks do a blue stone for Oregon grinders and is a world of difference to the standard pink ones. No heat issues but do wear down quite quick. I use the Borazon discs on my auto grinder about 120£ each last quite well and sharpen out some serious damage without over heating, also do them for the Oregon’s.
  4. Mervin Ellis would take a single load of log and he pays top money the following week of delivery. You would be best having it loaded on a flat trailer rather then sending it on 8 wheeler. I know a haulier with 8 wheeler from Sussex who might be able to help and he will have a flat trailer on the road in new year. Chip cut it too 2.8m and bang it to bedmax Andover, Chris King is the buyer top bloke but you will have to arrange haulage. You could also try Powell forestry he will buy roadside for simple easy movement. All this depends on if there’s a felling license in place. All has to be fc approved.
  5. where abouts in southeast are you cutting? theres a strong market for Scot’s chip in the south. Would it not make saw log 50cm max butt down to 18cm under bark? Again strong market. haulier probably has a chip market for it and making a chunk on top for himself. if cutting by hand would imagine making anything from it will be hard if only going for chip.
  6. Have a chat with Blair at Clark forest tomorrow see what grinders they are doing now. He got a lot of knowledge on what would suit the amount of chains you doing on a weekly basis. A mate got the portek and reckons it’s good for what it is.
  7. Ive had both Oregon variants and the manual clamp lasted a lot longer and once your get used to it is just as quick. Make sure you get the blue cutting disc or the Borazon version from Clark forest as they don’t overheat the cutting tooth so you can still easily hand sharpen if needed. boredom still sets in so got this.

  8. Doing a lot of die back with very experienced hand cutter. He walking away from some of the gear as way to dangerous and unpredictable. The one in the picture was 25m tall near a right of way and the top exploded on impact. All the ash we are coming across in the forestry sector are all suffering and becoming a serious hazard extremely quick.

  11. Selling husky 576xp and 572xpg will be posting on arbtrader later. Both have minimal use and 20inch bars/chain. 572 only ever run on husky 2T fuel and 576 did little will pump fuel before changing. If interested before going on trader call 07595290954 Nick
  12. You will struggle with standing in Kent at the minute ground is so wet nothing coming to market. Try Joe Visser on 07943 313365 he moves lots of firewood but price is on the up due to high demand and minimal stocks roadside.
  13. Think you will find this ash is actually a Poplar!
  14. 7-8 ton with a small nisula 325h would probably be onto a winner. Slightly wider still low ground pressure and possibly put wider tracks on to help stabilise the base. Speak with molsons see what they offer with high ground clearance will help a lot, in the brands they offer someone must offer something.
