    Wire brush will do it easy

    Lodgepole pine can snap easily, probably not great by a house

    I'm looking for a branch logger /wood chunker. Seen them demo'd at shows before, but can't seem to find one... Any ideas? Up to 100mm capacity would be handy.

    I am only do beat ups on a day rate now. Too many variables. Once the client knows you'll turn up and get the job done, they'll be happy with that.

    Something below £30k? Compact forwarder for small jobs, coppicing for charcoal making etc Like yours I guess?
  7. Stoke Wood Project
    Anyone know where to look for new compact forwarders? Looking for a dealer, ideally in the south of England, but open to anywhere. Cheers

    Currently a long wait from most suppliers though. I'm told early December date for delivery to UK dealers?!

    I've had a 550 xpg (heated handles) mk1 since they came out. It's just died, and I'm getting the mk2 to replace it. Great saw, and I'll definitely be getting heated handles again. Helps reduce white finger apparently, as well as keeping your hands warm /dry. Too hot to hold without gloves though, so you can just switch the handles off.

    Thanks. That's really helpful. I'll check it out. [emoji106]
  15. Stoke Wood Project
    Yeah, that's what I'm now thinking. Thanks for the reply.

    Thanks very much for your comprehensive reply. It's off centre, so I think it's beyond repair. I want to make sure the chain brake functions properly
  17. Stoke Wood Project
    The thread shown circled here, which holds the chain brake handle, has been threaded completely. Does anyone know the best way to fix it, or is it fubar? Cheers all

    Hi. I might be interested. Whereabouts are you?
  19. Stoke Wood Project
    Yup. Bombproof machine.

    Wooden fence panels are often made from treated timber. When this is burned in the relatively low teps of a bonfire, it releases lots of nasty chemical pollutants. Timber should be taken to a local waste company, where if may well end up being burnt as biomass, but this happens at very high temps, under controlled conditions, making the exhaust gases much , much cleaner.
  21. Stoke Wood Project
    Try calling your local council. They may be able to suggest local waste companies. Ask other local contractors maybe? Whereabouts are you?
  22. Stoke Wood Project
    The law is very clear on this. It's illegal to burn waste.
  23. Stoke Wood Project
    Probably not wise to advocate breaking the law on here. Do the right thing, get yourself a waste carriers license, dispose of your waste legally. It's a cost I know, but cowboy tactics do the industry no favours.
  24. Stoke Wood Project
    Bearing in mind that burning waste is illegal, and unprofessional, as well as being very bad for the environment, the correct procedure is to get a waste carriers license, and take your waste to the correct facility, where it will be sorted and dealt with the correct way. This is what I do. This is what any decent business would do. Don't be tempted to take short cuts and break the law. It makes it harder for those of us trying to run reputable businesses. I take my waste to the local Viridor place. I get charged about £45/ton. I am clear with my customers about this, and they are very happy with the fact that I am dealing with my waste legally, as if I was fly tipping, or getting my mate to burn the waste, they would be liable as well as me(I believe)

    Any joy? He can be tricky to get hold of!
