How often do others change their Processor ?
Logsnstuff replied to arboriculturist's topic in Firewood forum
had the posch 3200 for 8 years now it is limited by the small size it can handle 13" but other than a pin hole in the splitter ram it's only needed belts and sharpening and a bit of modification when we bent the conveyor because we needed it to work at quite a steep angle in the past. -
is it for nets to fill or filled nets.

Tractor log splitter for long and short logs?
Logsnstuff replied to william127's topic in Firewood forum
posch 30t 2.4m but doing 1mtr billets with the new 6 way blade. had to steal the oldman off the sawbench to run the controls timber we are doing is all 18 months old or more and some pretty hard stuff to split. [ame] [/ame] -
the tarps if they are tied down so they can't flap last ok, have used some for 3 years, the shock cord only lasts 12 months max tried using them for a 2nd season but they just snap after a summer of sun. could always throw an old tyre on top which we do on the larger tarps.
-
you can do the cages individually just use. Tarpaulins To Go and use the shock cords to tie down. Tarpaulins To Go
-
so they need to get everyone onto RHI
-
try making the blade like those on the Rex 600/900 and start manufacturing splitters for 24" and upwards.

one of the reasons I never pursued the kindlinginabox idea was the creepy crawley factor that's the only reason I would consider a kiln in the future. it has left me with a 1,000 boxes sitting taking up space for the last 5 years.
-
that's exactly my point.

and you have the American study which says there is no advantage in a domestic stove burning below 15%mc timber because it can't cope with the increased gasses and they end up going up the chimney and polluting the air. Page 20 http://www.epa.gov/burnwise/workshop2011/WoodCombustion-Curkeet.pdf I tested a log at a stove shop it was kiln dried guy was claiming 2%mc and he stuck the meter on the end with little penetration to get his 2% when I put mine in the side I got 12%.
-
I can understand using one if your yard isn't big enough to hold stock, the problem I have is the people saying it's superior to air dried logs of the same mc or as I mentioned before those who say air seasoned to 30% whilst kiln dried is sub 20% and totally misleading the public.

I was comparing your most expensive price is all, unless 4 of your bags at single price don't make a cube and don't make £190. it's irrelevant if it's 1 drop or 4 when the comparison was a cube at your most expensive rate, I would say not rocket science to understand my point, I also compared your .25 bag to my .25 bag price pretty sure that's a like for like comparison, I have also filled them from a 90x90 bulk bag and you can get around 3 1/2 barrow bags so my cube bag has significantly more if you want to compare stretch, I'm also appear to be using the same barrow bags and I have 0.35m3 solid side bags from dixons and no way one of those gets close to filling a .35 bag even reducing the level for the extra stretch in that bag.
-
what size are the bags to get 100 on a pallet.
-
had to laugh I get comments about ripping people off charging £120 for a cube bag and your charging £190 (based on single price) for equivalent in the barrow bags. hope you do well with them. we charge £38 per bag hardwood min 2 bags for delivery and we refuse to do more than 2 steps.
-
under tarps mine will go to 22% in winter but in the polytunnel it maintained 16%
-
there is a merchant on fb refers to air seasoned logs as being 30-35% where his kiln dried is under 20% so better value. I asked him why my air seasoned logs at 15% were not as good as his kiln dried at 20% but he didn't bother to answer.
-
I have seen on some pages where people are selling 90x90 bags and calling them 1.1m3, we only top up after seasoning if the bag looks exceptionally low there's always some shrinkage and settling.

-
thats why i was asking hard or soft I find the shapes of some hardwood really slows things up.
-
is that straight off the machine and soft or hardwood, I only get about 25 an hr using a chute and hardwood.

call it yesterdays job or it should have been, busy splitting billets when some guy went up and poached a couple of trees, rate his stumps, I was told he was meant to be some sort of super cutter 3rd post down on the fb. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Logsnstuff/261324553925599

palletline is the one who's quote came back £129 that's quite a difference if your an account holder will give it some thought for the future though,I went with Dalkeith but its still £88+vat.
-
Thanks will give them a try in the morning.
-
Got an order this afternoon for a bag into London palletline quoting £129 on their quick quote, looking for some alternatives recommendations.
