  1. the cheapest i have found is £52 -£55 loose cube, some folk do builders bags that are more expensive. cord delivered is around £38 m3 but if you buy wind blow/pulp at £17- £22 and extract it, haul it yourself then process all for £38 m3, i think it would pay wages question is would anyone buy an 80m3 artic of processed semi seasoned soft wood for £40m3 delivered?
  2. around here softwood retails around £55m3 loose, i was thinking around £38 -£40 m3 + haulage but would there be enough left for the retailer?

    372xp

    have a 372, excellent saw, running great for years. recently handed it to a worker and now its destroyed within days.
  4. hi everyone, wondering what a fair price would be for wholesale cut and split softwood?
  5. 8 till 7-8
  6. have just googled the make Jackson Cochrane that finished in 1940 so the planer is over 84 years old
  7. its on a large skid frame, just had a service so all the guarding to fit. it has four feed rollers so the greenest of wood never jams. the main roller is mounted on a pivot allowing up to 20mm cut in each pass
  8. thats a kraz with full 6x6 drive where i think the ural has 6x5?
  9. i want i want i want i want i want i want
  10. i got a 24 inch x 8 inch planer thicknesser, pto driven for massive beams and site work but there isnt any wood where i am so its a fail!
  11. it will depend on condition, they are worth double what they were ten years ago
  12. my iveco has an injector fault = loads more power and awful mpg
  13. our county has worn through two atlas 3008 cranes. the third is ready in the yard. this is a hardwood setup for working in large timber. when you get a big enough log the crane has enough grunt to lift the front of the tractor there is now too many cracks above the cab:001_rolleyes:
  14. i have a county with a 7 meter hiab glued on it, get some pictures up later. there could be a problem with slewing as the crane is not designed for it and will brake apart above the main post
  15. very good i have a 900 and use it for cutting shingles, no benches came with it though
  16. £7000 very expensive for a 2.4m cut. i would go for an old rack mill, cheap as chips and last for years
  17. i would be interested in a few loads, could you send me some details and i will be in touch thanks Graham [email protected]
  18. bite his arm off:laugh1::laugh1:
  19. a 6 feet carbide insert slasher blade 2 gauge (around 6.7mm kerf) will cost £3000 from simmonds international, that will give you a 24 inch + cut you will also need the sharpener, a considerable spindle with heavy bearings (you dont want to mount a quarter ton blade on chinese bearings) and a drive system either v belts or 100 - 150 horsepower hydro motor i know the bearings cost about 600 each [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCs82rOA-AQ&list=UU6K9q_07jmv4l5sUjzLoSMQ&feature=c4-overview]Firewood Processor - commercial high volume - YouTube[/ame] but look at the work it can do!
  20. i sold my one on. the new owner powers it with a steam engine
  21. i had one of them! it has a hands free power feed so no fingers to loose. it looks ready to work:thumbup1:
  22. <p>hi steve. i cant start a thread and have never been able to, did i miss something when starting my profile?</p>

  23. try EF Grant 01807500352 Laurance 07786527650 Tommy Gill 07866777648 / 01309641395 or seafeild parks but i dont have their number.
  24. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=An7bP597TLY]Bosch vs DeWalt vs Makita vs Metabo - YouTube[/ame] not the best of tests but shows the battery life
  25. I would recommend a metabo. Have 4 been using and abusing them for years, always out preforming the £350 bosch. Our older metabo (£200) has a 10 min charge and that will average 200 two inch screws or 100 four inch screws without pilot holes. The charger recently drowned but started working again after drying. our top spec bosch struggles to drive four inch screws, though the charge was better all 3 batterys have died now one melted its self:confused1: we got the new 18v 5.2 amp metabo combi costing 300 from dm-tools. I regularly drive m12 coach screws, its unbeatable
