roglog

now sold

oh yea I forgot the important bit!

£10k

Selling my Manitou MLT626 Turbo

Its a 1991 model but in very good working order, ive had it for 5 or 6 years and spent a fortune on it with the intention of keeping it.

New parts include recent tyres £1000, head gasket and waterpump, both hydraulic pipes inside telescopic arm, batteries and starter motor, new seat, and much more.

Its registered on a J reg and everything works as it should. It has a hydraulic pick up hitch fitted also.

It has a large log grab with rotator but also comes with a year old bucket, muck grab and a set of forks.

I have some stuff to clear, vented bulk bags and some barrow bags.

I have about 15-20 bulk bags and similar barrow bags new unused if they are worth anything to anyone in the Dorking / Surrey area?

Anyone interested in a oniar G21 timber grab?

I bought it new on here or ebay a few years ago but never used it, never been opened but has some marks on the paintwork.

I would like £600 ono for it and im near Dorking in Surrey

I am looking to buy in some ready to sell hardwood logs. Ideally in bulk bags but crates would also be ok.

Please email me at [email protected] if you can offer me anything.

The wire fence idea looks like it would let much more air threw.

I have a load of Harras fencing that i am going to make use of but not sure how yet

having big issues with keeping my logs dry since the council made me remove my barn!

Come up with this idea as previously had them under a large tarpaulin and they are soaked.

Have to wait and see it it helps the breathe and dry out at all

think i might give that one a miss then!

i will keep with my original idea of a timber trailer with a crane

found this on ebay,

Tractor Hiab Crane Atlas 3 Point Linkage | eBay

It says piped for grab and rotator but wondering how stable it would be on the back of a tractor?

Anyone had anything like this before?

Will be sending out prices next week - if interested pm me or register email address at wholesalewood.co.uk

 

Dave

please pm me some prices please, would be interested in a 20' container full

I got one a while back... 89 quid? Rubbish, bent, 25mm tube thats 1-1.5mm thick... honestly rubbish

Thanks for the reply, I was thinking the cheap ones wouldn't be up to much.

Any ideas for a cheap storage idea???

We have nice dry kindling. Cheapest way is to drive up for a truck load 2-300 bags set your self up for the winter.

Where abouts are you and whats the cost? Thanks

Looking to buy some kindling as I frequently get asked by customers for it.

Any one on here that can sell some by the pallet load or similar?

Would ideally need it delivered.

Thanks

Looking to buy some wood in for processing into logs, I am based in the south east and have a crane to unload if needed.

Also any info on the planning implications on buying wood in rather than cutting the timber ourselves from our woodland would be great!

Looking into the same thing at the moment, Looking at some cheap 6m x 3m x 2m ones on ebay but bit worried about how they will last up!

Bit more info if you fancy a go

When it comes to marketing "farmers markets" are good and the planners have difficulty arguing against a business plan if you can show trade on several farmers markets especially if you get on the "foody markets" that the council promote themselves.

Very interesting reading thanks for your time and advice. I am am thinking if i could find a large company in another part of the country that produces mass amount of cord wood from forestry is I could become an "agent" on a contact processing and selling there wood?

Obviously i would need to find a company that can supply lorry loads of cord and that can confirm a contract that they will supply me what i need for 5 years.

Planning Aid can help. Check if the council has update policies like NPPF. FOI to see complete case file and who complained on what legal basis. Write to the council CE and involve the local media.

Thanks for the reply, without sounding to dumb you couldnt explain what NPPF are please!?

Thanks

If you had over 5 hectares then you'd have a chance of getting retrospective permission via permitted development... but in comparison a 1 acre plot is tiny. Sorry to be brutally honest but it looks like you've gone way too far with the scale of it all, and that you'd be wasting your time & money chasing this any further.

 

But I could be wrong??....

I am looking to maybe put in for just 1 or 2 bays and try that but may just sell it all as its one BIG headache!

I wonder what they would consider reasonable. If you reduced the buildings in square footage perhaps would there be an acceptable compromise that they would allow, and work it forward from there. Access lane, hard standing and a smaller unit?

This is what a planning advisor had said to, who decides if it is reasonably necessary?

pictures of my yard

I have been running a small business since 2009 selling logs, I own 1 acre of woodland which is situated in a 10+ acre wood.

I have put in a track with hard standing yard and also a steel building but after a planning appeal have 6 months to remove it all.

Although I manage 7 acres a few miles away and have a verbal contract on part of the wood next to me the council say i do not have enough land so its not "reasonably necessary".

Im having trouble finding a planning agent with expertise in forestry planning law and would like to know if anyone else had had similar issues and got round it.

Can i buy cord wood in from another forestry firm and still be classes as forestry or do i have to harvest the timber myself?

I really dont want to give up and have to sell everything but at the moment I cant see a way out!

Ive put a couple of pictures on to give an idea of my set up

I have just lost a planning appeal for my yard and building but am looking into possibly applying again with a smaller building.

Can anyone recommended a planning agent with experience with forestry / timber yard planning?

Dont want to have to sell up my yard and machinery...

sorry to hijack the thread!

I am currently having an appeal with the VOA, they have put a rateable value of £15750 on my 60' x 30' steel building 1 x 20' shipping container and 80' x 100' but of rough hard standing. I was under the impression that is I was doing woodland management it would come under forestry and agriculture and be rate exempt. I have searched local people doing similar work and not one is on the rating list!

Really dont know where to go from here

I have cut and split around 40 bulk bags of firewood, they are on pallets in the yard and have a pallet on top of each bag then another bag on top. I have had these covered up with a good quality tarpaulin but when i went to deliver some yesterday they are soaked! there seems to be loads on condensation.

How do others store the logs? either in bags or lose.

Thanks
