  1. I understand exactly where your coming from, I installed a container type dryer 4yrs ago when I reached a certain production point but that was linked to RHi, which makes a difference If your minds made up about the kiln route then there's plenty members on here who will give you advice
  2. Save your money and put a pole shed up, three open sides, maybe some of those mesh fencing panels plenty of draft Start filling it now and by back end you'll be ready to go
  3. Oooooohh 2hrs And look at the feeling of well being (that might be the pain killers) Looking forward to option two ?
  4. My bets on the first option
  5. First saw I ever used was a Husqvarna 45 used it until it fell apart, Then bought a 2nd hand 254xp out of local paper, still in use today
  6. Has your 7600 got an external regulator fitted under the bonnet, behind the battery in front of the diesel tank, As the alternator in the picture has a built in regulator, which was fitted to later models 10 series This is the type fitted to my old ford's
  7. I had an issue with one of my customers a few years ago, were he complained of logs going mouldy in the nets, After a few questions to try to get to the bottom of it, it turned out he had started to store them in a damp redundant farm shop which was near enough air tight with no form of heating or ventilation, Asked him to store the logs outside in one of the sheds, never been a problem since
  8. Just an observation, but the log merchant who brings unseasoned or wet firewood is unlikely to have an info card
  9. As above, Round wood wanted 5" to 16" diameter, Price Road side or delivered to maryport area Cheers
  10. It's a pity you couldn't use the heat from the boiler chimney
  11. Could a heat exchanger be fitted to the exhaust ducting from a wood drying kiln, without risk any risk from RHi rules?
  12. The majority of these change will apply to new and to existing RHI-supported facilities, which" ""add"" "capacity on or after the date the reforms come into effect. Looks like it's just new for now, but you won't be able to add on to existing unit
  13. Edited with the crucial step added! If I read that correctly at 0.79 Amps at 50Hz: 0.79 x 230V = 0.182 Kw 0.182 x £0.15 (cost of 1KwH of electricity) =2.7p per hour 0.027 x 8766 (hours in a year) =£237 If you have 3 fans: =£711 That's looks more realistic, First go was actually more than my entire electricity bill
  14. 95% softwood, due to selling to retailers
  15. When it stops Does motor carry on running or does motor stop?? When it hits something hard does hydraulic system blow off / bypass??
  16. I've a ryetec 16t pto, I like it Sometimes new operators can take longer to get used to the twin speed
  17. I've a customer in Garstang, Pity, But i think Haulage would kill it :-(
  18. Hakki pilkes are bolted on as standard m8's, can't report any problems
  19. Where abouts are you
  20. Steve what Size of tote bag, I'm using 900x900 x900,but a couple of customers are really bad drops, Thought about moving to Barrow bag's for easy of delivery, just for one or two customers
  21. Anyone setting up for firewood now, should be focusing on next season, Sept 18 onwards Only advice I could give is let the job pay for any gear that you buy and only then when you reach a point where you can't work without it Bottom line chainsaw and axe
