yes it does light the stove ,BUT somebody needs to empty the ash ,fetch kindling and logs ,set the fire and control the draft.

all this does is to save striking a match and lighting the fire.not a mega time and efffort saver really.

does anyone run their mower on aspen? i couldnt afford to at 25 litres aweek in summer

nope .still got to wake mower up from hibernation.was thinking about that last week then the snow returned. better wait till april:thumbup:

buy rotatech and you will compromise more than price and quality.if you want disposable chains then maybe worth a punt, but if you like sharp chains that perform then avoid.

No they're made in Scotland, just bought one, for the price they're very good

they are sold from a Scottish distributor but made in china.good kit for the money and spares back up is good too.

Who has been drinking with Mendip Jon? Mate...pass anther tin of cider .ta

yes would you like some:lol:

 

The problem is the vast volume of slabwood produced, I give it away most of the time but i discourage public collection so i then end up delivering bulk loads to here and there. The majority of slabwood goes to estates that have large biomass setups where they have it chipped. The problem here is theres too much additional handling = cost

 

Having it chipped as it leaves the mill is much more economic/efficient and means i can directly supply the chip for next to nowt, and we're due a kiln upgrade- why not fuel it with chip.

 

Im really impressed by the figures from gdh. its a goer

i would be keen to buy lorry loads of slabwood ,depending on distance(haulage)and price,i take it is moslly spuce you are milling?

Good looking firewood,I'm just getting tractor ready to collect it......not

I will do it for the firewood (if you are less than 20 miles from me)

Interesting, sorry to hear of a death but not being morbid but would be interesting to know more details.

How come in large tree felling including fc sites I believe it's exeptable if not encouraged to have a wedge man present to assist in the felling of the trees?

Would also like to see a winch that can carry 60m of cable to keep it out the danger zone which for most of this site would have ment placing it off site.

One thing that makes our working a bit safer and far more efficient is being in open Mike contact so can talk through as working so everyone can be aware of what is going on.

Acciden happened near Selkirk. I think the man hung up a tree then tried to dislodge it by felling another tree on to it guy got crushed and died of internal injuries .derails in Selkirk paper really sad loss a day thoughts with family

So all you want is a bloke with a big saw to reduce it into 2 or 3 bits ......If the money is right for an hours work then might be interested. Any pics?

nope:thumbup:

Use plastic plates and silicon them on ,better than the old tin ones

Wilson jamison in Galashiels handles the east side of the borders,although I think he is giving up the contract

You had better buy a pallet of aspen,my 395 uses 3 litres of fuel an hour.can drain a 20 litre jerry can a day.but at least you got the right saw

Why climb it when it could be felled.plenty of space around it

Scrap

hard frost yesterday and snow was back this morning ....dont panic still have logs to sell.....

Think that could just about be it for this years logs. Slowed right down.

lucky you ,season in full swing here:thumbup:

sorry to hear this steve,get well soon

Nope kiln dried

If I bring it down with tractor it will be ....now should I use red or white?

Better day today got 12 loads out and only had to clear 2 driveways and got stuck once....being Friday 13th it could have been a lot worse.snow still available in 60 cube loads

Yes. He left the wood itself. When the crane boom produces the full length and puts it at an angle, it can not raise more than 150-200 Kg. We could not tie up large chunks to dip them into the road. Big crane in this place can not pass. Transporting cargo by crane takes time. We have established a unit on the hook.

Assistant lowered down the load by means of a braking device. It was faster and less risky. Sorry for my English)

your english is better than a few on here.well done

i will sell you lorry loads of snow ,or free to uplift.
