My stuff is dry but I dont know what it equates to by wight Just go off the volume by cube

15 pound a tone so what happens if one person brings it in sogging wet and the other person brings it in bone dry

gensetsteve Could not find any info on processing kindling from your links have you ever made kindling from old pallets by any chance?

Won an auction online for a 14" bar Partner farmer I make no joke about it 26 quid! Went to pick it up today and when arrived the boys where trying to refit the starter coil back onto it as it had come out After spending 1 hour getting the coil back it would not start as spark plug was flooded probably been tipped on its side Then it stared and the boys cut me some branches to show it worked They wore no PPE when I asked them do you bother with PPE they kind of laughed and said no then it ran out of fuel fuel has been leaking prior to that out of the filler sump they think from being turned up side down They said they used a 50:1 petrol to 2 stroke oil Any way 26 quid and I saw it working I handed over the money shock hands and left So what do you think of this chainsaw and what do you think could go wrong with it next And what do you think about not wearing PPE with this type of chainsaw Thanks JT

Been told that firewood is the off cuts of timber as felling a tree for firewood is not economically viable So size wise! 1.What size dose a trunk become to small to be sold as timber? 2. Dose timber pay more per volume then firewood?

Has anyone tried a hand pulled type winch; lots of gearing rapped round and round itself (like trees)?

I guess you are a bit far away from me to make it worth it Just out of interest how much would you have paid for it if it was on your door step? Cant say I have noticed any knots in it but would have to have a closer look

have now just checked and they are 5' 6" Just north of Milton Keynes knots?

Just been told its mainly Oak and Ask

Thats only a guess but I will measure them tomorrow What kind of money do posts fetch? What equipment do I need to process them into kindling?

Got some 5 foot lengths by about 6" diameter of pine wood Am I better selling them as they are now for posts or am I better cutting them up and selling as firewood?

Hi someone has a couple of acres of woodland that they want cleaning up By cleaning up I mean fallen trees and branches The problem is its a long long way away for me to go and have a look to see if the jobs worth doing Is there a way of working out what dead wood there will be with out even seeing it Just weighting for him to come back to me about what type of trees they are Many Thanks JT

With all due respects I think your wasting your money Wood chippings is about only good for tinder Very small pieces lots of air flow and burns way to fast for a fuel
