I dont know how they do that, these things can scoff ten gallons an hour if your ragging it. Bob

I charge out the artic/lowloader/timber trailer/bin @ £150 an hour as mates rates locally so maybe the £750+vat is not too far out of bed for a 120 mile round trip. Bob

The rollers run off the spline on the stator motors one side and a plastic bush the other so no bearings to change as such. Roller knives will take a sharpen, if you dont have the kit take them to someone with a welder and do this http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/maintenance-help/93608-timberwolf-roller-blade-change.html Bob

Retractable air line in Aldi at the moment , its the soft stuff that stays pliable when cold. Got one for the chainsaw shed for blowing out the saws, £20 Bob

Expensive hire and haulage, they also dont burn as much per hour as advertised and you still need a burn license. The plus side is no smoke ( the bit that matters to us on here) and they are really efficient at getting rid of dry demolition timber in places like London where tip charges are mental. Bob

FR Jones Chainsaw Sale: Stihl MS 261 vs Husq 550XP
aspenarb replied to Mark Wileman's topic in Chainsaws
I agree, I was in Honeybros the other day trying to put the squeeze on them for a bit more discount , it seems all the dealers are all offering the same and are singing off the same hymn sheet so may as well shop local. Bob -
I have seen the damage these burn boxes can do to external steelwork if the refractory lining fails, I nearly bought one that was advertised as needing repair but it was totally mullered. That fire with a blower on it makes furnace temperature and can easily melt steel so if your thinking of a skip you will need to make sure its well lined or you will end up with a twisted heap of steel plate. Just thoughts but I am thinking of the hole in the ground because its easy to tip into. I was thinking along the lines of a ten foot square hole fenced off with four steel twelve foot five bar gates , one hinged opening for access and the other three bolted together to form a barrier ( dont want folk or animals falling in that ) If the water is a problem its not going to take much to engineer a simple sump in one corner for pumping out.

Simon its a lot easier to build an air curtain pit burner. [ame] [/ame]

Perhaps but he has raised a valid question regarding quantities and quality, a few pointers from the suppliers would go a long way. i.e. Our log loads have an average loose volume of x cube , moisture content of app x, weigh app. x, vary in length between x and x , have a softwood quantity mixed in of x and have a stacked volume of app X. Not a big ask really and would take away a lot of uncertainty from potential customers. Can you tell I dont do logs anymore:laugh1: Bob

Only if they dont do a slippery side step on the payout because of the engine mods. Bob

It may be worth having your cases remoulded Tom. Bob

Runs a 4` flail with ease, will scoff gorse and scrub. For a single cylinder the engine is huge

I dont give chip or logwood yard space any more but when I did I used an old JCB 3CX . Cheap and reliable if you can find one not beaten to death. Bob

421kg as a pure guess, instincts told me 350kg ish. Bob

A groundy, aside of the mess they also make a lot of noise . Bob

I was thinking more like father Jack. http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=217923&stc=1&d=1489432383

The guy that delivered and stacked what he considered to be 4 cube of logs did so for about £68 a load which is reasonable. If that only turned out to be a stacked volume of 2.5mts then you have paid £110 per cube for your logs delivered and stacked. Where is the saving when the foreign logs @ £110 a cube get dumped at the bottom of your drive on a pallet and you have to stack them yourself? Bob
-
You are probably doing the right thing Mr Desperate, I cant see any normal log supplier being able to fulfil your needs. I think you will find weights and measures have kept their noses out of this industry for all the reasons you mention. Bob

Have to agree, never doubt the tenacity of a man on a mission. With enough rope and snatch blocks you could pull that stump out with a dog Bob

Mick I would swap a bit blowy for the mud pit we have been working in, two weeks of clearance work and the only way in or out is through a mile of this slosh, the 4x4`s have been earning their keep Bob

Dont get too excited about it until it hits the floor. It may well be a nice sawlog but it may also be firewood Bob One that I thought I was going to mill
