  1. just picked up a 460 for £160 on Saturday:laugh1:
  2. 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.
  3. 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
  4. 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
  5. 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
  6. 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:
  7. 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
  8. :thumbup:thats nothing mate, im putting a 16 liter v10 on a log splitter
  9. 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)
  10. :lol:
  11. maybe good for someone? Saw bench | eBay sorry if its already posted:biggrin:
  12. 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?
  13. 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.
  15. hi everyone, wondering what a fair price would be for wholesale cut and split softwood?
  16. 8 till 7-8
  17. have just googled the make Jackson Cochrane that finished in 1940 so the planer is over 84 years old
  18. 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
  19. thats a kraz with full 6x6 drive where i think the ural has 6x5?
  20. i want i want i want i want i want i want
  21. 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!
  22. it will depend on condition, they are worth double what they were ten years ago
  23. my iveco has an injector fault = loads more power and awful mpg
  24. 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:
