Logsnstuff

£94.00 .75m3, £38.00 .25m3 barrow bag, £4.95 60ltr sack, £7.95 80ltr sack and I charge the same whether its softwood or hardwood.

cord here £35 a ton roadside in Nov and £40 in Feb prices your paying down south insane.

I was cutting fresh felled beech last week a 0.73m3 bag weighs in 498kg

I'm just telling my customers the top 2/3 of the bag are around 18% and the bottom is soaked with 4 months solid rain 24-30% mc, most of them are still happy only 2 complained so far and 1 of them was after money off before we even delivered.

£7.00 here and £10 if you want weighed after you empty.

for years we used to tell people who would phone up wanting a ton of wood delivered to get weigh tickets don't think any of them ever did but the majority now are starting to ask the volume of bags which is something.

I cover that area also £94 a bag .73m

I have the knitted ones and they hold their shape better than the mosquito haven't used them long enough though to judge on their drying.

I use Industrial & Mill Moisture Meter | Industrial Moisture Tester

I only know 6 or 7 people who have used them 1 liked them the rest didn't that was enough for me not to bother.

Bit under £3k if I remember right

 

Wouldn't mind hiring one for a few days

I thought they were about about £3,250 now

I went small with the logs and the result was small customer base so I'm going back to chunky for next season and they can split them smaller as needed.

7" 9" 18"

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.

or just buy your logs from me

380kg

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.

Did you buy it at that? Prices seem to be creeping up all over and its been a warm, wet winter. Still not had to pay that price roadside.

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.

Hi The 900 has 3point linkage but the 100 is stand alone if you are moveing up to these size

machines with a large hydraulic log deck why would you want to keep moving it,mine has not moved for 2 years.Re the splitta on the 100 it is simple and quick to change the axes and none of them have bent an inch.I agree the 90 g with the cassete spitta looks a bit time consuming, but fine if you have regular diameter timber.These machines are intended for constant use not a weekend ocaisionasl user.Cheers Chris.

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.

I've been doing £3.00 + vat and delivery and barely worth my time, I'll be going £3.50 £3.75 next season

Hi all.

Im looking for a supplier for softwood nets seasoned or un seasoned around the 48x78 size we already sell.

What sort of price am I looking at we could take 1000 possibly more if the price is right regularly

Over to you guys and thanks in advance.

 

Steve .

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

Look, I don't want to cause an argument, but someone who has broken his thumbs 10 times is not experienced, he is very inexperienced. The Hycrack is a fantastic piece of very simple engineering. All it needs is regular greasing and a new tip every few years. And I've been cutting firewood for almost as long as your friend, sad to say.

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.

Strange how the Hycrack owners love them and the hydraulic users don't? If I wanted advice about hydraulic splitters, I would ask an actual owner, not some guy down the pub, or a bloke that broke his thumb once, let alone ten times. Why on earth did he break it ten times? Surely someone with an ounce of sense would have given up after a couple of times?

 

Take it from a user of around 40 years, they are safe if used properly. I don't know of ANYONE injured by a Hycrack, but I am aware of someone close to me who almost severed his hand with an hydraulic splitter. So who's advice would you value? Me or the man with perpetually broken thumbs?

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.
