    Hi all my customers have loose loads except 1 who wanted them in a bag so did it for him.Just goes to show how different the trade is in different areas ,just like the difference in prices. Don t think the logs will dry in those bags in a kiln need stillages for that. Cheers Chris

    Hi why does it use hedro oil for the chain surely it just flies off,is it using the oil from the hydraulic functions if so do you have to keep topping it up. Chris

    Hi Gareth how do you heat your house? What about a biomass boiler or chip boiler ,then chip all the smaller stuff for your heat instead of blowing it in the hedges.I have a laimet hp21 and they produce exelent chips pto powered no need for hydraulics much quieter than others because of screw feed and cutting.Just look on you tube plenty of vids.Finnish made and very solid. Just athought hope it helps. Cheers Chris

    Second that ,you can still find some good stuff if you look away from the mass produced make it as light as you can with as small engine as you can get away with,nowt like a big lump of steel and a big lazy engine. Chris

    Thanks for that steve it still looks even more like my palax 100s have a look on you tube for video of one and see if you can see much difference. Cheers Chris

    Why put billets in the shed why not store outside with just the top covered then process into the bags dry and store them in the shed. Depends on how big the billets are and how neatly stacked so as others have said probably 10 different answers from 10 different people,but a guess maybe just over a bag a metre. Chris

    Hi bag supplies.com seem to have various sizes and prices depend how many you want.Worth a look to compare with others. Cheers Chris

    Hi I have no experiance of these,but how about a dodge ram diesel take the body off put chipper on a turntable and with the cummins at 5.9 and 300 odd hp would run it no problem then put tipper trailer on and it still would nt know it had it.Just a thought. Chris

    No and if mortimer is right about the price am glad I did a deal with Jim at caledonian for another palax 100s power speed .Not only saved a few thousand but getting the original not a copy of the machine.Be interesting to see how many they sell.. Cheers Chris

    Hi looking at the picture it looks just like my palax100s but with hakki stickers on it .Same spec 1000mm blade high speed splitter same looking infeed and elevator.Anyone know the price? Thought all the bigger hakkies were chainsaw they must be changing thier mind. Cheers Chris

    Hi if that is delivered and it is good stuff sounds right ,depends on where you are in the country prices seem to vary a lot here in Pembs its £55 roadside just been offered some in Basingstoke £40 roadside but 400 mile round trip to get it. So yours at £59 seems good as I could not haul it for the £4 differece. Cheers Chris
  17. big chris the log

    Hi Jon where abouts are you ,partial to a drop of cider myself.Down in somerset last year and visited Wilkins cider farm a nice bloke and some great cider even the misses had some hot mulled cider. Cheers Chris

    Hi Jon,Loads on ebay ,what are you intending to go in them.If you put logs in then watch out for condensation ,better bet an ex fridge trailer box as they are fully insulated and just as strong,just a sugestion. Cheers Chris.
  21. big chris the log
    Hi again do not stop at swapping just the brick grab get rid of the brick crane as well and put a proper timber crane on unless you use only very occaisionaly you will be pulling your hair out and cussing every moment at the lack of speed and wrong geometry for the job.If you want one for begining of winter mine might be available later in the summer. Cheers Chris.
  22. big chris the log
    Hi sounds like you would be better off getting someone with a big splitter to make it into billets as you have a processor.You can cut out bends and trim butts up and get some nice material this way then it will fly through a processor.If you wern t so far away I would offer to do it for you, Cheers Chris

    I think this has been like this for some time now our guys just want to drive the lorrys in their uniforms etc.Had a chap in the early 90s was not interested in timber as he would have to load it and unload and fix hydraulic hoses etc.Said he only wanted to do fridge work on the continent as he only undid the back doors ! It seems our people have the attitude of how much can I get for as little effort as possible.Also they do not seem to have much pride in their work.Perhaps you will all put me right ,but I am just a grey haired oldtimmer!! Cheers Chris
