Not often you see an actual bargain on ebay but this is a nice little package. Shame it's miles away in Surrey although they do say they will send it by pallet if you arrange the courier I can't be bothered messing about sorting out quotes for doing so. Includes everything needed to make your own chains, bench, rivet spinner, chain breaker, part rolls of chain (mostly suited to Stihl chains), joining links, reel holder & a couple of bars. Chainsaw Chain Cutting Bench | eBay Although I already have all that kit I would of bought it at their original buy now price of £150 (had there not been the delivery to sort out) as just the chain included should exceed that value but someone put a bid on it so the buy it now option has gone & it will probably end up going even cheaper.

No you would need 75DPX for a 460 as they use .063 gauge chain. 73DPX is 3/8" .058 semi chisel chain.

You should be hoping nobody has a slab saw, they can take a 12' bar.

If you could offer the branch logger material at a nominally lower price saving them £10 or so & you offered customers a one off half price bag delivered along with their usual logs you may find they are hooked after the first bag.

The X27 is a nice axe it's not some amazing piece of kit that is going to magically split every log effortlessly as some reviews suggest but it has no problem splitting 5' diameter rings of knotty beech or 7' diameter oak rings which mauls bounce off of & other axes get stuck in. As said earlier on big rings I use a felling lever to open up the cracks which is faster/takes less effort than multiple blows with an axe. In a couple of years of using it I haven't yet managed to get it stuck in a log. Was using it yesterday to split 3' lengths of very knotty spruce, larch & leylandii in various diameters from 6" up to 30". Mostly it was just a single blow to split each length. I find the knottier stuff splits more easily in longer lengths which can be cut down afterwards as the split finds its way round the knots rather than trying to go through them. The light weight of it does mean it uses a lot less effort, you can be there for an hour & feel like you have only been at it for about 5 minutes. Think I have only had the log grenade & sledgehammer out once since I got the X27 that was for some eucalyptus someone dropped off on the yard which got missed while it was fresh as it got buried under a load more timber so I didn't realise there was Euc there until it had turned into concrete as it does.

Not sure exactly, mate of mine (harvester operator working in Oswestry ATM) was complaining that he is having to set out for work at 3:30 am or he gets stuck behind the convoy of timber wagons Kieren Owen has going up towards Wrecsam.

Regular chain just leaves you with a load of noodles, great for lighting a bonfire with. If it was just for firewood then personally I would just use my X27 irrespective of the diameter of the rings & set aside the really knotty bits to block up with a chainsaw at the end of the job. Axe creates the split & felling lever breaks the lump off on the larger diameter rings I have split 7'+ diameter rings in this way with very little effort.

Are you really not able to find anything more local, no shortage of timber being harvested around Wrecsam it can't all be going to kronospan.

People will buy any wood for fuel if it is ready processed & the right price. Branch loggers allow you to turn rubbish that would normally be chipped (except leafy stuff & conifer branches) into a more valuable product. Which branch logger is right for you depends on how you sell the end product. The one in that video requires net bags & 2 people to operate it, one to feed the other to continuously faff about with the bags the type with the conveyors as shown below can be operated by a single person increasing productivity & the output can be directed straight into dumpy bags or as loose loads on a trailer but is obviously no good if you want to sell it by the net.

I can honestly say that, I always pick it up off the ground before I use mine.

Hence the reason for showing you the photo before you commit to purchasing anything. If you were to buy roundwood you would end up with the contents of a timber lorry (which you have probably already seen driving round at some point) neatly stacked so easier to process but you may not be able to move the logs by hand so it would likely involve climbing onto a stack of logs with a chainsaw which is not a very safe thing to do. You may also struggle with the amount of splitting with an axe so might need to invest in an electric splitter. Processed logs is probably your best option as the extra expense does save you an awful lot of difficult work. Personally I would be flexible on the type of wood seasoned softwood or mixed hard/soft can be cheaper & burns very well. I used to sell hardwood & softwood separately but got so many requests for hardwood with a bit of soft mixed in that I now only do mixed loads unless by special request & have a few customers that only want softwood. 38 ton loads of imported kiln dried logs are available from some companies such as: Premium Kiln Dried Ash Firewood Logs Suppliers - Premium Kiln Dried Ash Firewood Logs Supplied and Delivered Nationwide but you will probably find a better deal from someone on here to be honest & you are far more likely to find somebody who uses 100% UK sourced timber rather than importing it from eastern Europe.

At that price I hope they are hand cut my an artisan timber carver with an appropriate chainsaw.

Gambrinous.

Can't bid they put it on as buy it now. Can ask questions though.

There are a load of willows on the railway near me that were cut to ground level & crammed full of ecoplugs about 2 years ago. I don't think a single one actually died, most are now 6'+ multi-stemmed bushes at the moment.

To be honest my first thought was xylopolist to keep it relevant to the site but you changed the rules to no vowels.

Have a look at this thread if you want a visual idea of how much wood is in one of Nick Channer's bulker loads. The photo posted shows 2 loads, the first already tipped the second on its way out of the lorry. Will also give you an idea of what arb waste looks like as opposed to processed logs or roundwood. http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/firewood-forum/94259-free-mixed-timber-4.html#post1387307

I should of known it was coming really after all the Spirit Horse management are also very heavily involved in Coedwig y Breuddwydion.
