hi im looking for 20 tonne cord wood any ideas.

If you need cordwood let me know. Where abouts are you?

I can offer a rate for moving timber. I am usually looking for between £375 and £450 a day depending on the travel time access to site and timber amount. Let me know. James

That's really handy to know as I go far more than 20 miles and always was thinking of good excuses to tell vosa or hmrc as to why I was 100s of miles away.

So, how far can a farmer go in his tractor running on red? By the book I mean.

You can legally travel 20 miles from your 'base' on red diesel but your base can move to the site your working on.

Coming from a farming background there are many laws regarding tractors which are considered a grey area with the police and vosa. Weight is a big thing and length of the tractor and trailer. The only thing that is frowned upon is dangerous or unsafe loads especially when timber is concerned. I haul allot of timber on my tractor and I do 45 mph and weigh in at 28 tonne both of which is technically illegal however police I doubt will stop me for either. I did however have to change my insurance and specify I was hauling timber as at the bottom of my original insurance document did specifically no timber haulage.

Anyone in Hertfordshire that need cordwood I can help, I supply 15 ton loads with my tractor and crane and can usually source some short notice. Let me know. James

I do indeed have allot of cordwood available. Seasoned and no seasoned. Get in touch. James

Serious kit mate well done, is that a 2850? The excavator looks well guarded up for forestry work, does it run a processing head?

Yes rowen it does it has an AFM stroke head on it. And yes the 2850 still runs strong with 10000 hours on it.

Today a big oak I cleared on the side of a road.

I have one that came off a vauxhall bravo truck which I then made to fit my hilux 06 plate. I am open to offers. James

Here in a picture of the 3 point mount on my Palms crane for those who asked.

Are you willing to pay for them as I do allot of forestry and could always supply you with a few odd bits at a small cost.

I have been supplying cord wood for a few years now and the people I supply to reckon to get about 3 bulk bags to 1m3 of cord wood timber.
