First of all , congratulations on your little one on the way!!! And thank you for your insight!!! I am now a owner of a Titan Pro 8 ton upright splitter ( petrol ) , had a quick play and so far so good - i have some 2 tonne to do , so that should give it a good run!!!!

Thanks for all your help members!! All the best............

Hello all , and thanks for your advice , just one more bit needed now please.. I have decided i would like a petrol / upright log splitter and have taken a liking to the Titan Pro . Thing is do i go for the 8 ton or the 10 ton??? The 10 ton is roughly £200 more but do i really need the extra force to split for home use??? Thanks , Ray..

Hello my friend and i hope you are keeping well:001_smile: We must have a good catchup so i will send you a email:thumbup: ............................................ Thanks also for your replies gents!!!

Thanks for the replies so far!!! This is what we are using - contura 810.... All the best....

Sorry - forgot to mention that the wood is for my own personal use!!!

Hi all , Hope you can help with some advice on purchacing my first log splitter!! I am not a tree surgeon or aborist so dealing with trees is not fulltime for me! But i do work for the local highways department ( trained chainsaw operative ) and get to deal with wind blown trees in the highway!!! So i have been looking at petrol driven splitters and the upright Titan Pro 8 ton and 10 tonner. Is there any others i should be looking at ( budget £1000 ) and do i need to go up to the 10 tons!! Thank you for reading , Ray.

Well lads , Thank you very much for all your input!!!

Although not the 4x4 version , I have driven these trucks for many years , 5 days a week for my company and we have a fleet of them - all used for highways maintence and dealing with wind blown trees!! Just my opinion - very good trucks , like others say they do pull well / the 3.5 tonner with 1 tonne of tarmac or wood with gear on board pulls well and the 5 tonner is a great truck too!!! Pretty reliable too!!

Thanks to all for your input:thumbup: Much appreciated!!

Again all , thank you for replies:thumbup: Yes the professional installer is HETAS approved and has installed a Fireangel carbon minoxide alarm..

Thanks for replies all:thumbup: Stove was professionally installed and i spit the logs and stack them on pallets in my garage to season!!

Hi all , Hope you can help!! I am new to this burning firewood and 12 months ago bought this as we got fed up of crappy economy 7!!! A contura wood burning stove:001_smile: My question to you is what with me being new to wood burning with a stove , i recently cut this up and i think its a Laurel ( but please correct me if i am wrong:001_smile: ).. just split it up ready for seasoning.. Know i have been told that if this is Laurel it gives off cyanide fumes and i have read not to use in a open fire - so my question is - is this safe to burn in my Contura stove when it is seasoned???? Your help will be most appreciated:thumbup:

Thanks mate!!! All the very best...

Well , went and bit the bullet and gone and bought my first chainsaw - a Husqvarna 435!! Shall look forward to trying it out now!!
