Plenty of flatbeds for sale but wanted something to lift cubic meter bags
-
That price sounds more like it, I'm going to up the prices this season. Was £30-35 for softwood and £40-45 for hardwood per tonne last year. Normally deliver 2-3 tonne at a time but can do up to 6 tonne
-
I ended up buying it, agree its wee bit underpowered but for what I paid cant complain. Been running about in it for a week and no major issues
-
Been getting a fair few foke looking to buy roundwood or cord as some call it (lengths of timber to be processed in to logs by customer). Is this a growing trend?
-
OSA 250? was really tempted by an immaculate one I seen a few months back. But not enough funds at the time unfortunately -
Ex Barony College machine, probably a good investment!
-
MF 390 most overrated tractor ever, crappy wee cab, noisy terrible things. Much prefer the older 600 series
-
Hi all, I'm looking at getting a van with a hiab for firewood deliveries and seen a 2001 Mercedes Sprinter 311cdi with 126000 miles on the clock. Going to see it tomorrow Anybody got any experience of them? Cheers

Which processor for firewood from arb waste
County 764 replied to Charleton Chips's topic in Firewood forum
I've processed a bit of arb waste on the processor. It works away ok although you have to sometimes half some of the more twisted logs for them to go through ok. I've got a tafun 380 processor the loader on it is handy for one person operation. -
Thanks for the replies, think I'll look into the woodcracker type splitters. Have access to a 14t digger and taken in a few more loads of large stuff so need to speed up the whole process from log to split firewood.
-
Got some large timber to breakdown for firewood which is a bit on the large size to disc and split. Has anybody on here had any experience of Woodcrackers or Lasco cone splitters? Cheers
-
I bought a cheap Clark one for about £40 and use it for the chainsaw and firewood processor chains and it works fairly well. Seen a few identical ones under other brand names that are far more expensive
-
Good summing up of FISA on Page 31 of this months Forestry Journal
-
I think there was a video of a container kiln on hear
-
I looked at this Kockums back in 2010 and its still for sale!! KOCKUMS 85-35 Tractors in Glasgow | Farmers Trader The one on ebay looks like a far better machine at a reasonable price
-
I have a free Google site pay £12 for the domain name for 2 years. Get a fair few orders for firewood via it so I'd say well worth it
-
You'd need one hell of a hedge trimmer to cut through stuff 3-4 inch thick
-
OSA 250 on ebay just now, might be a bit old if your doing loads of extracting. there was a very clean osa 250 in the forestry journal a few months back. The guy wanted 13k for it I think, but it looked like the best around.

Never used a chainsaw mill but Larch and Douglas can be bugger for closing on the mill, plenty of wedges close to hand is essential. Did milled some monkey puzzle for a local joiner it sat in the yard for about 12 months and the bark/sap went hard as nails.
-
And I thought I was cheap at £65/m3 for semi seasoned hardwood
-
good on them if they can get it. but probably not cheep logs to produce if they been through a kiln then packed and sent out to the customer via pallet courier

"From October - if you want to have a FC contract you need FISA update training provided by a FISA trainer. To be a FISA trainer you have to be 'proposed' by an existing FISA trainer as apparently all the rest the chainsaw trainers out there who deliver chainsaw training under the auspices of LANTRA or the NPTC are clearly not good enough to do it and regulated, approved courses run by the awarding organisations are not good enough either. That this band can dictate who can and cannot deliver training which ultimately affects the grant of government contracts is not only unbelievable but also probably illegal (transparency, fairness and all that!)" Totally agree with horselogger on this one. How can it be legal for the FC and others to only employ and award contracts to those who are FISA trained. what does this say about LANTRA or the NPTC? Anybody on hear spoken to FISA? they don't like to be asked about it #

REF what the price of hard wood cord now thanks
County 764 replied to mendiplogs's topic in Firewood forum
North Scotland, I still don't imagine seeing a huge profit on the bigger stuff. takes a lot of time/hard work breaking it down -

Big difference in price across the country paying £25 for big beech £40 max for small stuff that's roadside -
there was a 921 on mascus, it said for spares don't know if it was the whole machine for sale or the parts. Might be worth an email to the guy
