    Oregon bars and Rotatech chains for us. Full chisel usually, semi for dirty wood. A lot is going to depend on which saw you're using and what you're cutting.

    Obviously I can't see it but the materials seem expensive (assuming there's no gates) and if I'm reading it right at up to 4k labour that's ridiculous. Unless you're digging the posts in it should only be 3 days work for a decent fencing team. It's surprising where you can get a digger and knocker or tractor with double wheels. I only know fencers in South Wales unfortunately but I would be aiming for £8 per meter and no more than £10 plus vat for netting and single barb on awkward ground.

    Where are you based? If it's just odd loads you're after you're probably best off finding a haulier first and asking them if they know of any. Alternatively you could buy in ready processed firewood which there's a few people selling this time of year.

    Most the ash coming out is just starting to die. I can only see it burning worse if it's been dead standing for a while and even then I've burnt both and noticed no practical difference.

    The old paslode ones were alright but the new Milwaukee ones are a big improvement in every area. You don't need any gas and they'll do 90mm nails as fast as you can pull the trigger (or use bump fire). I was a bit dubious before getting one but we used it to make wooden crates last week and it's very impressive. I'm just annoyed Milwaukee don't do fencing staple guns...

    I've looked into it after being very impressed with a Milwaukee nail gun and DeWalt are the only one I could find that make a gasless stapler. If you want air there's a few options and you can either run them off a tractor air line or a compressor.

    Yeah, that's way more than our retail. A few people advertise on here if it's any help. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1697414473879816/?ref=share

    We're selling kiln dried for £70+vat collected per cube. Fresh probably £65 for 9inch. That's in mid Wales but seems to be the going rate for the bigger companies.

    I have a valiant and the standard 'stihl' meter and they both read the same if that's any help.

    It's still around 50-60 roadside in mid Wales depending on quality for hardwood.

    If you removed any blades from a drum chipper it would end up smashing the blade holders I would think. It's definitely not something I would try. For bigger chip you want a bigger sieve and faster infeed.

    What tractor is it on? Most newer tractors should run fine off the spools.

    Just to confirm I meant £10 purely for the drying. The handling and if you had to provide containers would be on top and is going to vary between systems.
  15. gdh
    Fresh to 15% I think you would be £10 a cube maximum for the drying.

    It's been around zero the last few nights so we've still got a fire going. We normally burn now and then through the summer to keep the damp out the walls but not usually this much in May. On the plus side it means we're still selling a bit of firewood.

    If you're in England and are selling less than 2 cube at a time you have to sign up. You have another year if you sell less than 600 cube total.

    Red diesel

    gdh replied to Baldbloke's topic in General chat

    Tractors can go up to 60miles from base on red for haulage if it's for your own use (like straw/silage). I think it's the same for contracting work but I'm not sure.

    Not free but Dyfed powys wood fuels/dc2 in llangadog do large amounts of chip and chipping.

    If it's decent diameter (6inch+) it's worth around £55 a ton stacked at roadside or £20 a ton as a standing crop depending on a number of factors. That's as firewood, you might get a premium if it's suitable for fencing materials.

    I think the original poster was talking price to extract not roadside. Presumably there would be £20-25 on top for the standing timber. Hardwood prices seem to have stabilised here to £55-60 roadside. Softwood sawlogs have gone ridiculous though. The standing record seems to be beaten every week and it's not even for the best stuff.

    I just say sorry but we have to bank the cash anyway if anyone asks. I would always choose cash, or cheque, over bank transfer but it does mean you get more people trying to negotiate.

    That's tidy wood, whoever's processing it should appreciate it. Shame you're not near me to buy it. 😉

    It's nothing to do with Brexit. As far as I'm aware customs only check random parcels and it's just bad luck if you get caught. I've had it on a couple of DVDs years ago but it's quite rare.

    This is our AS940 that does a good job of rough grass and will do steep banks.
