i have bought another sawmill but it appears to be made up from the spares bin! The bench is stenner and the mill was advertised as a 48, however the saw is made by Guilliet & Fils of France that takes a 6inch band and its over twice the build quality of our other stenner 48... i cant find any info anywhere, is it a one off?

6 years!!? thats a record. I rent from BOC and some times their large bottles dont last the week:001_huh:

usually machinery has to be within ten years old when your payments finish so that it can be and sold easily by the lender if it was to be repossessed. however i managed to get a 25 year old tractor through the bank, when i hit the 'must be under ten years' nonsense i told them it would appreciate in value. Got the tractor! :thumbup:

you can use a farm tractor for light forestry without any problems. it is down to the skill of the driver and a good set of crossplys.

I have multiple vehicle/building/asset polices with nfu and they are very good but when it came to our delivery trucks they didnt want to know and didnt even bother quoting?

We got a duck-pond, where do I claim the expenses?

is that big hole in the ground for the bottom pulley of your stenner? lol -
made one last year but took ages to build. its basically a hydraulic ram pressing 15inch blocks through a fancy grid. its prob easier to make them on a log splitter

rotators are about £1200. take it to your local hydraulic engineer and they should point you in the right direction. always an idea to keep an eye out for used ones at auctions etc.

you may have to cut the tension out of the larch log first otherwise the springy side of the log will close on your bar/blade
-
have around 500 ish larch shingles left over form various builds and a handful of some oak ones you could have them but they are in three different sizes and thicknesses

hero?

hmmm? so how to save a fiver. at a push it could be done without haulage and the lowest grade of usable timber but it would be absolutely pointless as i could get better money roadside and letting someone else transport/process at greater expense. there will be no such thing as free timber when the bio guys snap it up when the demand grows
-
well not quite at a loss but worked out at £40m3 with artic delivery to 150 miles cutting out the middle mans premiums would pay the lads and maintain the equipment. thats it. so at £35m3 its unlikely to be of any quaility or quantity. that or find a new job:laugh1:
-
excellent frame dude! i would have loved to give you guys a hand. shingles, cleaved or sawn? and have you the wood i could do you processed ones, pm me if you want

:thumbup:thats nothing mate, im putting a 16 liter v10 on a log splitter

the problem with running large 3 phase motors is you need tremendous kva to start them. A 25kva gen will start a 7hp motor. a 5 inch stenner along the road with a 37hp motor has a 110kva 180hp gardener generator to work it (its on the side of a hill)
