  1. just done a deal for one £500 and 8 bags of logs and he threw in an airmax fan. stove fitter also happy to be paid in logs so much easier than the plumber wanting £3.5k to fit the backboiler stove.
  2. £94 for 0.73m3 and £120 for 1m3 free delivery on full load also air dried or I can palletise.
  3. I used around 12m3 last winter
  4. I can only think of 1 company round here doesn't let potential customers visit the rest allow collection and make sales on nets from people passing.
  5. import a couple of baltic workers and drop your prices.
  6. see who will let you into their yard to have a look before you buy and take a moisture meter if they say no then move to next on the list, I wouldn't recommend focusing just on price/volume unless your buying couple of years in advance.
  7. I only burn seasoned wood in it, the local stove shop said could be a build up of ash on top retaining excessive heat, the bricks were crumbling away when replacing the plate the ones in it just now are cracked in about 8 pieces but haven't fallen out yet. was thinking to replace it with something around 8kw and can take 14 15" log
  8. last couple of years have left bags out through the winter uncovered, you get some mushrooms on the logs which soon disappear the following summer, then they go into polytunnel for the 2nd winter. we switched to bakers knitted bags last season and we have found some of them splitting after just 8-12 months where previous bags were good for 3+ yrs we actually got rid of some barrow bags in the summer which they supplied 8-9 yrs ago and they were still sound.
  9. top of my squirel has cracked has needed 2 baffle plates in 5 years and 3 sets of bricks but it gets run pretty hard especially when we get these freak winters with the -25
  10. we get quite a few each season phoning to check prices pretending to be potential customers when they clearly aren't, they could just look on the website or say who they are couldn't care less if someone wants to know what we charge but I'd rather they just said who they were never understood the desire for secrecy and deceit over something we spend a fortune advertising for all to see.
  11. I would only produce them from oversize timber it's very slow as has been mentioned already, it does give you the flexibility to cut to whatever length the customer wants and if using bags then your also reducing the uv exposure.
  12. depending on how many you want bakers will make the size you want.
  13. some of our customers have commented hinged roofs would be useful so we could just drop the bag inside.
  14. can't refill mine until harvest is in be about another 3 weeks.
  15. yes it's factory fitted something like a 1T pull on it I think.
  16. You use what you have available something breaks you fix it but it will take more than that to break a posch machine we ain't talking Palax here.
  17. been removing some trees which have been hanging over the field and catching the combine seem to remember talk about splitter winches having no power so thought I would put this up although we maybe should have winched it further 22" across the butt.
  18. seems Willie Laing hires his 890 out with a wood cracker. https://www.facebook.com/christopher.douglas.923171/videos/o.197123796967907/1611545885792479/?type=2&theater
  19. What's left on the ground is the waste we didn't bag up from a pile of stuff that would normally have gone into the bonfire, we got about 9 x 0.73 bags and either my neighbour will scavenge what's left or the farmer will scrape it with his telehandler. the stuff in the barrow bag is the very small bits we sell cheap.
  20. they get cut up also and sold off cheap for the likes of inset stoves that cant take over 5" 6"
  21. don't understand them resisting circular blades for the larger machines. [ame] [/ame]
  22. just the posch sawbench at the moment, really miss having a conveyor though. anything that splinters and doesn't make meter lengths gets done straight away.
  23. saw bench but am thinking about a posch easycut as it runs automatic just throw the wood in.
  24. you can but I don't like processing wood that's been through the splitter the logs always sit on the tilt and you have to open the door or they fall the wrong way into the splitting channel not so bad if the processor has the lift up door you can leave open but the 3200 is a slide so needs to stay closed.
  25. wish you luck on that, we gave up trying to buy processor sized stuff for this year and just concentrating on splitting down all the oversize that's been kicking around the yard and see what's available this winter for next season.
