  1. Sometimes it isn't the length of the log it's the width, we have a customer with huts and the stoves are feed through a hole in the top, we don't cut the logs any different 8" but when we are stacking pallets we pick out nets with smaller diameter logs on a separate pallet
  2. Kiln Dried kindling nets available Green Monofilament 38x48 Nets per pallet 135 or 144 Locally sourced Virgin larch/ Douglas fir £1.50 + vat per net National carriage available, rates vary Pm me postcode
  3. As I have already offered to do them for you, in the size you require This is the quote for hessian bags
  4. A rather interesting development on hessian bags This was part of an email from a hessian bag manufacturer, when comparing prices Hessian vs plastic nets
  5. Kiln Dried kindling nets available Virgin timber 38x48 green mono 135 per pallet £1.30 per net + vat £40/£50 delivery to most parts, more remote areas may differ Please contact me with postcode First come first served ?
  6. Bag ties are made of Hessian , like the bags A double pallet, is exactly that double, so double the floor space in wagon, double the price The cheapest hessian sack are the 33x76 I will have to contact my bag suppliers to find a 44x50 with a tie Which is a better size for filling and should (with it being smaller) fit more on a pallet course
  7. So by your reply "I think" You haven't actually put the theory in practice I have, with plastic nets which in theory will last longer It's uneconomic, and they look horrendous Hessian bags of £1 A 76x33 hessian bag cost is 50p But as explained earlier You will only get 8 sacks per pallet course, total pallet of 64 Pallet Carriage average of £40 + vat 64 sacks x 50p = £32 One pallet carriage £40 Total £72 +vat Grand total of £86.40 £1.35 Inc vat before you put any kindling in the sack But if you want any I'll do them
  8. The bag return will only work on a very small scale, Bags which are returned will have to be sorted, rip or damaged bags will be unusable, any which have had bag ties cut, could be rethread but the time it will take will make uneconomic Are you referring to empty sacks a £1 Or is that sacks full of kindling delivered to you This is a genuine question
  9. I've looked at this a few times, Even as far as importing hessian / jute sacks It's all down to one thing, cost A hessian bag 76x 33 is four times the price of plastic, Then you have the cost of haulage as a 76x 33 sack will be around 8 sacks per pallet course, so you would get around 60 sacks of kindling per pallet, So that's £1.50 per sack delivered inc vat Without any kindling in the sack, So the wholesale price would be at the least £3.50 Are you still interested??
  10. Kiln Dried kindling available Far north west of england (Cumbria) 42x60 nets Delivery available or collection
  11. Jesus!! That's cheap! Softwoods £50+ a ton in South Wales ? Yeah it's 60+ Cumbria
  12. Local timber merchant is quoting £100 @ ton + VAT, for imported silver birch round wood, delivered has been since Christmas in Cumbria
  13. So roughly how much has your sales increased, since joining the scheme
  14. Tom Can't help you with your querie But try asking in the employment section or firewood, under a different title, eg any "experience of working in Australia" Probably get more response, Good luck ? ?

  16. I've one of these on skidsteer loader Once your use to them you can stack the billets as you split them by screwing in to them and un screwing I've found best results on soft wood is if it's big stuff, to cut into 1.5 meter lengths then it splits cleaner Also follow the split when splitting as it makes a cleaner job

  20. Depends on size of hydraulic tank and oil cooler on machine I powered a fuelwood 360 splitter off a 655c digger for 3yr just ticking over without any problem
  21. 42x60 net orange 45x60 green
  22. Does the manitou, not have two oil fittings on the front?? Thought they all did to be honest If so when you wedge lever or button find out which one of the two fittings is pumping then put that on the feed side of the splitter and the other pipe will flow back to return using the other fitting on the manitou
  23. 2nd hand 360 fuelwood splitta Would be perfect I traded one in to willsons back in July as it didn't fit in with my system But it was a brilliant machine and the logs are perfect size
