  1. Yes I agree 100% But we all said the same with Bsl But that didn't stop them doing it, This clean air act ,carry on has been in talks with some of major firewood retailers for at least 18month that I know, There going to do it (government) , This last consultation survey is probably just a "smoke" screen, it's probably all agreed now
  2. So you would be quite willing to join the "ready to burn" scheme and pay the annual subscription
  3. The points would Be 1, £300 a year better off due to not having to join a certification scheme as well as not having all the paperwork created by any scheme 2, all those suppliers supplying substandard firewood to sell would be delt with directly by trading standards and delt with according. 3, all those doing job correctly would have increased sales and with luck higher margins
  4. That's quite true Stubby, But that would be the same even if it was carrying a certification number, It does mentioned on the defra consultation paper if it should be the retailers responsibility to ensure that they are kept in the proper conditions
  5. Instead of paper chase certification scheme which I personally hate. Why not make it compulsory that all netted firewood has to show a address of manufacture, Then any substandard firewood could be traced by trading standards directly back to the producer, Another benefit would for the producer would be marketing there own brand . Just a thought ?
  6. In reply to your question "is this the end" I would definitely say it's the beginning of it. Timber prices have gone from £20 per ton delivered, to £60 this week (softwood) when you can get it, while The cost of firewood is basically unchanged, I reckon if the current trend, be it stoves ,biomass etc, continues at its current pace, the whole thing will implode within the next five years
  7. Yes cv16 Pto so it doesn't matter what tractor oil flow There's another video on the manufacturer Web site, with a built-on winch
  8. I've a ryetec 16t pto splitter Twin speed, with table it's fast, YouTube it There's one identical on EBay at the moment on Ryetec's own page

    eBay scam?

    Yeah he's a trials bike to sell as well I think he will be genuine, maybe just having one of those weeks, If he's bu****ring you about, buy the one he has listed now tell eBay you've paid private and then open a case against him, that will get his attention

  19. It's an ESCO, Ernest Simpson company, Bradford. Was once told they were made in the train yards, kindling for steam trains. I've got one, but not for sale They pop up on eBay from time to time, There's one or two different variations and makes ?
  20. Thanks for replys ? This is for a firewood processor, For the price there definitely worth a try
