  1. Hi, they're probably a bit far but if you're looking for a kubota pallisers in Hereford are good to deal with, they have new and second hand. 

     

    We buy our deutz from them and they're very good for demos and repairs /servicing.

  2. <p>Hi. Sorry for the delay, I've been away. Either me or my dad will give you a ring or you can email <a href="mailto:" rel="">[email protected]</a> and I'll give you all our prices. It depends on the size of bags you use as we usually sell loose .</p>

    <p>2nd part to avoid limit.</p>

    <p>The drying trailer is for chip but it has worked for firewood in the past. It took 20 hours to dry 6 wet tons although I would say it's a very inefficient way of doing it and the middle of the logs wasn't perfect (25% compared to 0/not registering on the outside). The trailer is an old 8 ton muck trailer with a second floor made from vented sheets 6 inches up and a pressure fan (same as grain floors) pushing hot air in. With chip in it will rain from the roof of the shed when drying and is perfect but it's too much power for firewood so we only use it in emergencies. It could be adapted though.</p>

    <p>If you want you can E-mail me at <a href="mailto:" rel="">[email protected]</a> and I can give you some pictures.</p>

    <p>Hi,</p>

    <p>We found the installation would be too expensive at around 18-19k 3 years ago for the floor when we could spend 6k on potato boxes and fill the shed. Also every time you handle the wood more bark/shards would fall off.</p>

    <p>There's a picture here <a href="http://www.hormannsfirewood.co.uk/the-process/" rel="external nofollow">The Process Hormanns Firewood Hormanns Firewood</a> of our shed, it has 3 bays with radiators on the sides and fans at the back to keep the air moving, it's all powered by a 199kw chip boiler but requires a lot less unless we're using the drying trailer at the same time.</p>

    <p>Hi,</p>

    <p>In the end we found it was too expensive to do so we went with potato boxes instead and put fans in a heated shed. </p>

    <p>We tried cutting vents in a floor and blowing hot air through for woodchip but we found it just dried strips of it so we do it in a trailer instead. I still think a grain floor could work if you could build it so you could shut off sections and pull it up to clean. </p>

    <p> </p>

    <p>Whereabouts are you based?</p>
