    Isn't that willie laing running firewood from the old sawmill there. I'd be interested who they are getting in and what machine they have I know they tried to get campmuir to process for them but they refused.

    I would be looking for the 2040 or 3040 have the posch for upto 13"

    I've wanted a multitek for about 15 years since I first saw them online. But with a starting price of 115k + any options would need a lot more customers or contract work. Imports might work for some but majority of my customers ask for locally sourced timber.

    been browsing a little seeing some setups of the competition and wondering how many people hire processors rather than buying their own and are you just hiring the machine or operator also. what machines are available and rates day or week.

    well they haven't sent me a polling card last 2 elections even though I filled in all their forms maybe that's how he plans to win

    I find spruce burns great, can practically light it with a match no kindling required true it burns so clean there are no embers left but excellent to get the initial temp up although if buying softwood id rather go for douglas fir.

    If you don't want to go hydraulic just mount a hand crank winch same as used for changing out splitting blades on processor its just a boat winch some tubing and a pulley. yes you can pull the bags off or hand ball the logs onto the drive but you cant beat a nice tidy bag sitting in the driveway.

    I agree 20t minimum on a verticle we have the posch 30t horizontal does 2.4m but I'd recommend going 50t version it can bog down pretty easy in big stuff unless ofc you only get nice clean ash etc like you see in promo vids.

    you should have moisture checked and reported to trading standards.

    We lifted the bonnet to wet the engine down and try to lift the cab. soco are in atm trying for prints from the gate they climbed over and having a look at the machine, so who knows maybe there will be some luck yet.

    Fire brigade were going to let it burn, I had to tell them that was unacceptable.

    batts were connected but couple of guys were seen heading up the road about 8-8.30pm who had no business going up there.

    will have to get someone out for a look and see if its repairable or breaking.

    theres a small loch up the road and a guy got locked in when he was poaching some trout, he got a mate to come with bolt cutters and snipped the padlock to get out but they used company vans and were seen. been trying to think of others but no joy and no insurance will need a damn good thinking cap to figure out a fix for this problem.

    Finally got the felt finished on the roof today for my new log store hope it's big enough.

    I was told they only allow 65 or 70kg for a driver and an empty fuel tank my .73m bags at 15%mc come in at 280kg or there abouts so 373kg per 1m3 746kg for your 2 cube + a tank of fuel diesel weighs around 1.9lbs a litre and I guess 90-100kg for an average person these days. then there's any tools kicking about which soon eat up your allowance easiest way though is for a trip to the weighbridge and let us know just how much spare capacity you have. a driver 95kg fuel 20 gallons is 65.64kg logs 746kg 907kg so you should be fine like that but if your logs are coming in 20 25%mc or you have a passanger you could be screwed should they weigh you.

    yep a tacho was first on the list when we ordered it.

    I get 6 barrow bags or 2 90x90 builders bags on mine and and just load up the trailer now with 12 or 6, all these pickups with greedy boards would be getting pulled round here and checked coz we have no rapes robbery's or murders to keep the rozzers busy. Had to have the spare wheel removed and the carrier cut off to reduce weight and we can only run 3/4 of a tank of fuel or risk being overloaded, I would guess 2 cube loads is putting you on the edge if not into the overloaded region. time you take the crew and the tank of fuel off your payload capacity you don't get much. https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xaf1/t31.0-8/1795235_662910020433715_529365202_o.jpg

    just hunt about for an old 090, I have 48" bar on mine have a spruce to cut at some point which is bigger than the bar. I am prone to sharpening one side more than the other and cutting curves. forwarders are handy to keep adjusting the log so you don't cut the dirt as well.
