Would be interested in a quote for 30 or 40 m3 to gloucestershire. Please quote for seasoned and unseasoned. Andrew

sorry, meant not PTO driven as no tractor at the mo...

Hydraulic not an option so what do people recommend please? Speed not really a big priority as we have all summer to split 20 to 30 tons but ease of use a bonus...

I love complicated solutions to simple problems, well apparently. marcus It's the only way to go! judging by your username guess you must be a 4wd fan as well? Currently turning a V8 RR classic into a pick up to cart wood from the field, buying a ready made pick up rejected on the grounds of being too easy

Thanks for the info, much appreciated! Our boiler supplier runs a 100kw/5000ltr system and has used about 40 tons a season heating a draughty old 5 bed farmhouse and a cottage the last few years, he reckons that most of his customers use about half the boiler size x tons a year hence the 20 ton estimate. I reckon to use more so plan to get in 40 a year until we have a better idea. Saying that, our house is less than half the size of his, super insulated and running UFH at low temps so one boiler firing is lasting 2 days until accumulator tank temps drop so far...defiantly not a labour saving system though, but enjoying it so far! When we bought the house it only had 2 wood burners for heating so it's a novelty to have heat all over the house.. Totally agree about buying in early and drying, I plan to do the same and process ourselves to keep the cost down. Almost went for an oil boiler but just couldn't do it! Do you run an accumulator tank and if so what temps do you max out at?

apologies for being a bit vague. estimate needing about 20 tons a year so willing to take 20 tons or anything up to 2 / 3 times this at the right price! RE Vigas, its a log boiler that takes up to 50cm logs. Andrew

UPDATE: have just spoken to a long term user of a Vigas and he says softwood is the way to go, so now looking for large loads of softwood please! Andrew

Hi, I may have been misinformed but was recommended to use hardwood for a gasifying wood boiler? (VIGAS 40L) Andrew

Hi all, have just installed a biomass boiler so now looking for large loads of hardwood processed or not delivered to Tirley in gloucestershire (GL194HJ). can anyone help please? great forum btw, have learnt lots! regards Andrew
