    I'd agree been chasing syc for years nobody will sell it or its just not about very much syc n beech what I prefer. estates round perth are buying processors rather than putting timber on market timber supply looking grim. Drove past a scottish woodlands job the other week all the hardwood trees had been chopped into the brash matt.

    only ever had 1 customer tell me his and when it was swept the sweep said guess you dont use this chimney its clean this after burning a full seasons logs.

    Just heard there was an item on news another machine been burned out down in Moffat didnt see the news clip myself but have to wonder if it's the same people as burned ours can't be that many running round the country setting fires.

    been doing 8.5" but this year gone back to 10" should have approx 450 bags of each. net sacks with bagging tray are slow and expensive to produce I do around 1500 only per season so not worth investing in equipment yet.

    isnt it the same as fuelwoods with different feet.

    of course I'm not pro regulation thats why I object to your don't give a **** attitude to the mess. I do take it serious as it's my job and I try to achieve some degree of professionalism and maybe your customers are happy with you leaving a mess but I know from those I've spoken to in my area there are alot who do not like it I want repeat business so try to keep the customer happy not just distracted.

    also a good simple solution, I get it in the ear from so many people who have had tipped loads straight onto their gravel and they cant get the crap out.

    if you have priced your logs so low you cant take the chance on a bag not being returned next time your pricing structure is wrong, you can get an easy 75% returns on bags put a disclosure on the invoice if not returned they will be charged and get paid or get 100% returns. there are countless options to drop bags off for not a lot of money from scaffolding style frames with engine hoists to boat winches on simple frames it doesnt need to be a hydraulic crane. it's about 6 months ago there was alot of discussion on regulation coming in and why nobody would be happy about it and its your attitude that will drive it forward.

    How do you do it when the customer doesn't want their gravel filled with woodchip and sawdust.

    I agree, most of my customers are a min 2 cube gotta think long and hard to come up with the handful of people who buy a single bag. and other than to trade customers the only nets I sell are for campers in the summer. I have seen on reservoirlogs.co.uk they used to sell I think 15x40 ltr sacks was the equivalent of a builders bag which around here most use the 90x90x90 never measured myself to see if it was accurate.

    you cant get a seasons logs in a boot, depending on the area you live a lot of people wont put logs into their boot, renting an old filling station is expensive with no client base to draw from. importing these logs is not excatly green putting 2-3k miles on them and for a lot of customers local sustainable logs is important.
  17. Logsnstuff
    I guess depends where you are, older generation round here is used to burning their logs with coal and have no idea about seasoned logs it's like banging your head on a brick wall trying to educate them, roll on the 20yr olds who are happy to do a bit of googling for some basic education first.

    I try to deliver within 2 days of an order being placed, normally its next day

    I've been using the ring blade with the posch but getting a few people been asking for bigger logs so for this season I've gone with the 8 way so I expect I'll be getting complaints logs are too big now.
  20. Logsnstuff
    seems my posch 3200 is way under then most i've done is 3 cube an hr.
  21. Logsnstuff
    any pictures of the knives and maybe the logs from an 18" to see what like they are.

    Started filling this last week but hand feeding the processor is damn slow. hoping by the time its full will take 350-400 bags
  23. Logsnstuff

  24. Logsnstuff

  25. Logsnstuff
