I will double check that its a old Timberjack 1210. The obvious machine to fit it one to would be one of the diggers we have 9t and 14t Volvos but they are normally away on contracts and the forwarder is mostly used for shifting the big diameter firewood about anyway.
-
I was thinking about getting lasco that could go on the forwarder, but don't know if anyone has tried it on such a machine? as they normally appear on diggers.

REF what the price of hard wood cord now thanks
County 764 replied to mendiplogs's topic in Firewood forum
Did you buy it at that? Prices seem to be creeping up all over and its been a warm, wet winter. Still not had to pay that price roadside. -

hahaha :thumbup::thumbup: -
There were loads of used saws in the last Forestry Commission sale. loads looked like new and the older lots were listed as spares or repair. They normally have loads of good gear in the auctions (2-3 a year)
-
Ye that sounds like the sensible option. Might be worth a call to Caledonian Forestry Services. Never had dealings with them but I know they put Kesla heads on excavators

Bruunett 678 on ebay Forestry Forwarder Mini Bruunett 678 | eBay
-
Really like the look of the boiler on it, could be a real game changer for the firewood industry
-
Ye I think I'll probably take your advice on that, not worth the risking it even in the older saw, it makes a good backup
-
Been fairly quiet, to warm. but picking up now and a few new customers. selling far more softwood this year compared with last year
-
I'm glad I've looked this post now as I've just bought 2 bottles of comma 2 stroke mineral ( the one with the wee moped) for the 365 but think it'll be going in the old 357 now
-
Ye I did see the one on ebay for £16500 think the hours weren't to bad, second hand machines aren't as expensive as they use to be
-
Might stack up better if you can also do the smaller felling/extraction jobs for neighbouring farmers. we've got some woodland too that's why I bought the harvester but it really was passed it and getting parts was unreal so it had to go. Working away now with the chainsaw, skidder, 1210 forwarder and an old county with a roof mounted crane. Might look into hiring in a harvester for some of it as we have approx 4000t this year, but its still mighty tempting when I see a clean looking harvester for sale
-
I would go for a excavator based harvester if your minds set on getting a harvester. I bought an old purpose built harvester a few years ago, the costs of keeping it going were never going to add up. It'll also take a bit of time to become quick and cost effective at operating a harvester, something to remember in your costing's. What about a converted JCB 814? they pop up on ebay quite often
-
End of the day someone could buy a second hand container, new or used biomass boiler circulator/extractor fans and build a kiln of there own. on the cheap But it wouldn't be tried and tested and I bet it wouldn't have the cycle time of the logpro. No back up and no guarantees. You could make the same argument about anything, Forwarding trailer, log splitter, sawbench etc. I don't see people moaning about JasPWlison making Botex trailers and making money out of contractors or firewood producers
-
Yes I agree totally it depends on the size I was meaning industrial sized units which I have seen a lot of not the domestic ones. The log pro might not take sawdust&bark but there are plenty of Kilns that do run of this sort of thing
-
Oh and Norboard, Dalcross by Inverness They were using all grades of co product apart from bark which went next door to Scotbark
-
Ok so tell me about James Jones Aboyne? and Hill of Banchory CHP (Combined Heat and Power)? Yes been to both of them too
-
Nothing that gets converted into logs in my yard is classed as waste. Look at all the forums on here off course you can run a biomass system of sawdust, chips, bark etc. I would run one off the slabwood/offcuts from the sawmill, or all the small stuff that get screened off before being bagged as firewood
-
Sounds like a great idea, why have 20k tied up in roundwood for 2 years when you could have a return in a matter of months and yes buy in more timber expand your business. All depends on what scale you operate on. The large sawmills which I've been round and have biomass systems to run huge kilns they cannot rate them highly enough. As for £100/m3 for waste wood get real. What is this waste? Sawmill co products (Perthshire Timber Co) Bark (per tonne) - £30.00 Chips (per tonne) - £20.00 Sawdust (per tonne) - £25.00

Use Of Urea to Treat Stumps
County 764 replied to Dorset Treeman's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
A picture of stump treatment via the harvester head. Was part of a report I did into it years ago. Ok not all stumps were this bad but a lot were only slightly treated

Use Of Urea to Treat Stumps
County 764 replied to Dorset Treeman's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
Waste of time, even the FC don't use it on a lot of there sites especially when its coming from the harvesters head you often get a very poor coverage of the stump. But the FC do still say best practice to use it. If its in the soil already your fighting a loosing battle
