  1. Cheers for the reply but I’m not on FB. Any details ?
  2. Afternoon I’m after a decent second hand 8” and above chipper. Preferably a TP 200/250 as Iv had one in the past with no problems. Does anyone know of any one thinking of trading one in or selling also a bonus would be located down south (Dorset). But willing to travel or arrange shipping. Many thanks
  3. Thanks for your reply ! That’s really helpful. All our big hardwoods go to a local sawmill but he’s not keen on the softwood. Il speak to roger again and see his thoughts are and your right ideally we only want a couple of sizes the rest go for bio. Makes it easier for us. Cheers for the advice and no ones just a grunt on a saw [emoji1303]
  4. Makes perfect sense, how would we go about finding someone that could provide the sizes and the products they require (chip/bar ect) Cheers
  5. Thanks, Roger is looking likely to do the larger blocks already.
  6. Good evening chaps. I work for a large estate in Dorset, we have just started first and second thinnings in some of our smaller wood blocks that have been in much need of attention. The larger commercial blocks will need a harvester ect which is being sorted for later this year. It’s mostly Scots pine with some corsican. All our decent hardwoods go to a saw mill or milled with our panther on the estate and kept. For some wood blocks this is the first clean up they’ve had. I’m asking for help and if anyone can give some good advice on moving the timber on ? Who in the Dorset area ? What’s the best market to look for bio mass/sawlog/shaver bar ect? sizes ?? We have been cutting the timber to 12 foot and extracted about 30 cube so far. Looking forward to your reply’s, This has been a steep learning curve so far. Cheers
  7. Thought it was something like that John makes sense il get an email off to fuelwood ASAP. Thanks for you advice
  8. Thanks John sorry to ask but what’s true parallel movement? Also do they have a uk dealer you’d recommend. Many thanks
  9. Bit of a mix really sadly my dirt days are over this is more caferacer.
  10. After having a nasty off on my 2019 husky TE250i snapping my ACL and destroying my knee plus getting old (feeling old) at 33. Always wanted an airhead so gone for a BMW R80 early 80s.
  11. That’s great Thankyou, do you have a adjustable drawbar for getting around tighter plantations? What pulls and powers your 9T ? I don’t want to get something that’s going to struggle with the 80hp 6610. Cheers
  12. Morning Gents ! I’m after some advice regarding a new timber trailer. I work for a large private estate in Dorset with extensive hardwood and softwood forestry blocks. We are due to start our first and second thinning programs soon plus opening some other areas up. Which will require us to shift large quantities of timber to roadside stacking areas ready and presented for collection. We have an 1164 county with winch and Ford 6610 tractor which will hopefully pull the new trailer. Iv been looking at around 8ton mark is this an ok size ? Ones that stand out are KTS, Botex and kellfri. which controls do you recommend ? Obviously cab mounted controls would be a plus. Also anything else you can think of to recommend would be great. Regards
  13. Won Brilliant yet again Steve ! Thanks for your hard work and the people who donate !!!
