    Thanks for that. followed your link and he's wanting £3300 ish for that one. It turns out he's not too far from me so he might be open to negotiation

    Looking for something that will move warm air about as its quite a big area, its about 200 square metres and about 5 metres to the eaves.

    Hi All, As the thread title suggests I'm after a solid fuel space heater. Master made one until recently, branded the CT-50 I beleive. There are others available but they all look a bit tinny. I want to warm the workshop when we're in it and create a warm room to dry logs out. Thanks in advance Tom

    I've had plenty of bulk firewood from chris vicary in the past when I've run out of my own. Based at market weighton, probably give you a price on the roundwood too as he does a fair bit of felling. 07956033116

    Anyone had an audit yet? and if so how did it pan out? This whole scheme makes me want to weep, the PA of the inspector has arranged my audit for mid september, can't do any earlier as he's on holiday for two weeks! So let me get my head round this, our subscription is paying for the PA salary, the auditors salary and he decides to go on holiday just prior to log season. Aaaaaagh

    It doesn't seem to happen round here, I sell out every year and have to buy in wholesale just to keep selling.
  8. log on tommy
    I reckon about 7%

    I have to deal with everything thats felled, this year it was a 10 acre piece of ash clearfell. Upside is its always good to tell the customers all our logs are ash!

    We've been doing option 2 during the summer when the forwarder operator (me) has accidentally put an oversize on the trailer and its not economical. At least with the cone splitter option its all mechanised.

    I've finally got round to registering with woodsure, its a complete farce but there we go. As far as the complaints procedure is concerned, did most of you just copy a standard template of the web? I put my prices up at the beginning of last season, something I don't particularly like doing, but with the extra admin, insurance and not to mention the subscription I can't see any way of avoiding putting them up again. At least this time I can pin the reason for the price hike on the bureacrats!

    You could be right but I don't think it'll be easy. When the lengths are split into quarters they won't roll on the log deck for example.

    3 metre lengths

    Morning all, Does anyone know of anyone operating a large mobile processor in northern england? I've been grading out all the timber too big for our processor this summer and there will be 60 ton now I should think. It's all ash and ranges from 12" up to 30". My digger man has a lasco splitter that we could break it up with then put it through our processor but I'm not that keen. Any thoughts or suggestions greatly appreciated. Tom

    I'll keep trying him then. Any milling varieties worth keeping separate this year i reckon as the millers might have to take what they're given when they finally realise theres none about.

    Bit stop start to say the least, start again sunday or monday i think. yields are moderate to poor and the straw looks like we've chopped it! Been trying to get hold of tink, has he got the same number?

    That got derailed pretty quick Andy. I think most of those niggles you've got with the posch i have with my ryetec. But having operated it for a couple of years now you steadily learn how to work around its limitations and get the best out of it. If there were a processor that could cope with twisty stuff it would sell well in the uk market but all these toys are built for the pencil straight bog brushes that grow in the forests of bavaria.

    got about 4 acres of woodland to survey as it is in a long thin strip alongside a road. some of the larger trees could make contact with houses too so we need to complete a survey and do the necessary works to satisfy the insurers can anyone recommend a decent tree surveyor in the York area? many thanks tom

    hardwood £100/m3 retail £70 wholesale. softwood £80 retail and £55 wholesale. that's an educated guess at best

    Where are you Mr Tipper?
  21. log on tommy
    interesting, its not my game to bring in firewood but i'd heard the opposite. roundwood over in eastern Europe is coming up to our levels so imported logs won't be easy to make a margin on.

    Just out of interest why are you selling them? are you changing your method? we use spud boxes but ibc crates would be better for airflow I think
  23. log on tommy
    Yes they will, but as others have said the side and top supports are critical, we use potato boxes of different shapes and if we are too lazy to alter the supports between sizes that's when they get broken. rotators aren't dear though I picked mine up for about £700 at a sale. pity you weren't closer because the spud merchants I collect stockfeed from are selling their old one.

    There's a user on here called rye oil I think who sometimes advertises used bulk bags. do a search and see if you can find the thread. From memory he was down your way, but I consider anything south of Lincoln "down your way". Tom

    likewise, that japa is exactly the sort I've been looking at. if it's available any time soon I could be keen tom
