    <p>Thank you, the cubes were a good idea but the centres can be slow to dry I would recommend putting a row of pallets down the middle when half full to allow better air flow.</p>

    depends on species also atm I'm getting 2 90x90 from fresh felled beech but I would normally work on 3 bags

    seems slow to me but you do save the cost of a processor.
  4. Logsnstuff

    ship it in the round on barges plenty places shipping out pulp so no reason they cant bring timber into them. I prefer to process my own logs that way I know what timber is going in. We looked at shipping from France but couldn't get the numbers to work.

    and they should be bringing firewood back on those barges.

    Sadly I did although I have paid £52 delivered for other stuff but only when i get really desperate. looking to try and get a decent summer clearing up windblow on the estate plenty of oaks been blown in the last year. I did a test weigh with bakers mesh bags 90x90 on the beech came in at 483kg which was higher than I was hoping for.

    I've been using the posch 3200 for the last 5 years it's rated 12" cut but you can squeeze a little bigger through, for timber above that I have the 2.5m horizontal and a couple of 19t verticals works fine for what I do 4-500 tons a year, Pallax is what everyone else around here uses as Jim watt is only 15 miles down the road and the pallax with 17" cut is cheaper than my 3200 I just didn't think it was as well built although it certainly can cut alot gatehouse nursery say they are doing 1500 tons a year with theirs. I moved mine around the yard quite alot because I was filling log cubes to season in but now we just fill vented bags it is pretty much permanently positioned and the 4m log deck after working with that I wouldn't dream of buying a machine for hand feeding.

    I was tempted with the pallax because it can take bigger timber but I don't like the splitting blade on them I prefer the sealed blade on the posch.

    you might want to say where you are based or do you want haulage half way up the country.

    you are assuming its a hycrack hes using I have no idea what brand, I'm simply putting forward what happened to someone who used that style of splitter, you have been lucky with no injury he was unlucky with many I'm indifferent to what splitter you use just think you should be aware of what can happen, maybe as someone else has posted his is out of allignment. there was a contractor 12 15 miles from me who died when a stick came through the floor of his county or my grandfather lost a kidney when he was hit with a log skylining back in the 70's its not to say drive a county your guaranteed to get a log in the crotch or try skylining you will lose some organs just be aware possible dangers is all.

    guy does have one of these kindling machines with the axe head welded to a wheel he hasn't lopped his hand off yet but not sure that qualifies it as a safe piece of equipment either.
  15. Logsnstuff
    it wasn't some random guy down the pub it's a guy who's been doing firewood 50+ years id say he was fairly experienced.
  16. Logsnstuff
    guy I know who used screw splitter put me off using when he said he had broken his left thumb like 4 times and the right one 6 times you gotta be mental I guess.
  17. Logsnstuff
    just been quoted today £40 + vat roadside mixed beech birch 4" 14" thats up £5 on the last stuff I got in from euroforest just before christmas.
  18. Logsnstuff
    hows it get on with 10" lengths I thought they considered 18" small.

    the winch is great for basement deliveries. With the trailer we can run 8 bags.
  20. Logsnstuff
    any chance of some pics of the sticks rather than video of it working I would like to see what its producing.
  21. Logsnstuff
    from what I was told they will agree a price then when they send the lorry in to collect they drop the price and its take it or leave it usually guys are too desperate to refuse.

    We are using the mono nets for the smaller size and woven for the larger size, we found the customers were the same they didn't like people supplying the knitted bags but they are a fair bit more expensive i think we were quotes 12p for knitted and 22p for the woven. 17p for the mono but we don't do large quantity's.
  23. Logsnstuff
    15 bulk and 11 barrow bags this week so far.
  24. Logsnstuff
    We are around 20% also although with 600 acres of hardwood just over the field we can nip and and cut some of the blown stuff now and then on a quiet day.
