Did you come up with a solution on this ?
-
Hi. I'm after a couple of full loads each of Cherry and Apple - must be processor friendly up to 40cm. I'll pay £90 delivered to just outside of Hay on Wye. Thanks Iain

You get a fair bit more than 20 x 40L bags out of a 1m3 loose cube. The point is that net sales tend to be counter cyclical to bulk bag sales, helping to keep the operation running. In season view them as incremental additional sales
-
For me it's a spring summer job building up stocks. It depends what you sell the nets for and the minimum qty. Camp sites, garages etc with a pallet load at a time can make decent money. This bit of kit has got the costs right down. Pack them 50 on a pallet and easy handling thereafter.

no Wales

well i paid £4k plus vat but would have happily paid more for the savings it's given me

Huh ?

About £4K , so loads cheaper than the two other options out there and a hell of a lot less space. I've found a key part of the speed is having the logs presented to the operator. Pics attached

Got it up to 90 nets an hour working on 60L nets and 110 nets and hour on 40L nets today. I think this is probably the maximum output we will get by 5 x faster than doing it by hand with a tipping log tray and so much easier

It's a bit cleverer than it looks in that the chute opens to grab the net tight. Got it from a guy called John Payne. Very reasonable priced too Paynes Products - Farm Equipment Supplier PAYNESPRODUCTS.COM Farm Equipment Supplier

I thought I'd share a quick video of a new bit of kit I've brought to speed up packing log nets. This thing has changed our lives for the better, bloody amazing. Packs 75-80 logs nets an hour over a full day. here the lads are packing jumbo 60L nets , it's quicker on the standard hardwood nets. The lads are still fresh at the end of the day and I recon the machine will have paid for itself in less than 2 months

Urgently looking for hardwood log nets. Must weigh 12-15kg per net - 40 -50L nets. Max 27cm long. I know the weight requirement makes no sense but I supply a poorly educated market of experts Delivery to LD3 Looking for 1,000 nets a week. Payment at point of delivery. Will happily provide references from other arbtalk members about my volume and payment Please PM me with qty, spec and price

Has anyone managed to speak to anyone at Riko this year ? I've left numerous voice mail messages and sent several emails but no answer ? Their service is normally very good so not sure whats happened ????

I've just posted a log drying kiln for sale on Arbtrader for a friend . Well worth a look.....

kiln dried with holes in the bags

Hi, Does anyone on here use poly bags for packing logs instead of nets. I'm looking for 40 and 60 litre bags. Any suggestions on where to source them and a bag sealer ? Any help wou;d be much appreciated Thanks Duffryn
-
A mate has a Posch and recons its 50 bags an hour but that you really need second person to tie and stack to keep up with it. The exact length of wood seems critical for these otherwise jams will really slow you down.
-
Hi, I'm looking for a load of Apple / Cherry - Ideally 8ft lengths though will be flexible with Apple. Ideally located within 25 miles of LD3 0SU. Also looking for crane bags of sawdust - oak, beech, alder, cherry, apple, maple. Dust must be pure to species, free from contamination and not cut by a chainsaw. Please PM with any availability / prices Many Thanks Duffryn

Not passing judgment here, bagged 200 bags today as a test and thought f that for a game of soldiers. By the time you take depreciation / repairs on kit, extra time to move stuff around, break downs, jams hassle into account I couldn't see it was worth it. I calculated I was better off buying it in and spending my time maximising sales price and volume.
-
Then you must be at best breaking even on this
-
Understood but this has to be marginal to say the least, especially when you turn 18.
-
so paying yourself say £10 an hour for extra wok and doing 25 nets and hour , minus cost of bags you are selling at around £65 a cube ? If you don't mind me askirng , what do you think it costs you to produce a cube of hardwood logs ( not bagged) ?
-
Just out of interest what is the volume of one of these bags when filled ? 45 x 60 x?
