If you have no takers for firewood or milling and you do decide to chip it, Southern Wood Energy can handle that size. Fair way to come for 200 tonnes but they might be able to work it in with another job to ease the transport cost. Find your customer and agree a spec first of course. Ideally find someone with a big boiler and store that can take the whole lot in one hit.

Mine needs a set of pipes,duck bill etc so that could be it. Xl2 has an oil pump but might slightly pressurize the tank as well. A few of my bits are still in a box but it's not bad condition considering, apart from the perishables that is. I picked up my mate's super 2 which still seems compact but a lot heavier. Bought from the same dealer many years ago and he still uses it to cut his firewood.
-
I have a dual trigger XL2 auto which I believe is smaller than the super 2? Was running a few years ago but has a carb problem now. I grew up with it and a great saw in confined spaces. On my to do list to get running again.

Could you find someone with a bigger processor. It seems a shame to chip it but if it's too big for commercial firewood processing then depending on moisture content you could sell it for biomass. Either sell in the round for stacking to dry or chip it to a customers spec and sell that way. We sometimes get softwood that size and shape for chipping as its not so popular. A good morning's work for a big chipper.

Forget the forge. Weld it with as good a rod that you can get your hands on. Personally I would use 299 dissimilar metal rods but watch your eyes as the flux flies as the weld cools. Do it in stages to keep the blade temperature down. Be advised its highly unlikely to last as long as a new blade.

I used to repair high tensile silage block cutter blades for a customer many years ago. I used dissimilar metal rods which gave a good success rate. However as treequip says you will lose the local hardness and temper so it never will be as good as new. If you do attempt the repair try to keep the blade temperature as low as possible to reduce the damage.

If you really want to run a compressor off your 780w generator buy the smallest compressor you can. Then change the motor for one about 250w or less. Fit a smaller motor pulley to compensate for the reduced power. Ratio of pulley diameter should be same as ratio of motor powers. Use the switchgear and air bleed down already on your compressor to drive the new motor. It will be slow and you will be buying two motors. As others have said best to buy a bigger generator or a petrol powered compressor.

I've bought several loads from Stobarts and its been a lot more than that. No wonder they were open to a bit of haggling.

Sorry should have been 4 kWh /kg

We burn a few thousand tonnes per year but building size wouldn't be of use to you I suspect. As gdh says 1 dry tonne (which will be over a cubic metre of timber ) produces almost 4 cube of chip. A cubic metre of solid timber will produce 2 to 3 cube of chip for us. Seasoned wood that is 20% will produce approx 4 kWh assuming you have an efficient boiler. Ours is 92% We dry in the round then chip so just sun and wind to dry it. We also chip slab wood which dries quickly to sub 20%

I know sail material is very expensive but what do they do with the old sails when they are past it? I've been meaning to call in at a chandlers to ask this but not been close lately. As Daveindales said the so called heavy duty poly tarpaulins are not a patch on the traditional style waxed canvas tarps.
-
Thanks. that sounds hopeful. I was thinking that we have a lot of local tree guys around and was going to contact them if its a go.
-
Does anyone have any definite info on whether it is permissible to burn arb waste chip in a boiler claiming RHI. Ideally we could claim RHI on the drying as well?

My Tomfool went in the bin( should have done it earlier). My experience is Garmin lasts longer than Tomtom although Tomtom might be very slightly better navigation when/ if it works.

Accelerator pedal position sensor circuit
cornish wood burner replied to hamdogg's topic in Arb-Trucks
Sensor sounds a good place to start where ever it is. Might be worth checking the electrical connections before you dive in too deep. Electrical contact cleaner is good to remove any oxide on the connections. Better than WD40 etc. -
Almost certainly the hp requirement is at a certain rpm. 430 in this case.
-
The pto hp at say 430rpm would be about 30hp because it's below the engine speed that generates max power. Gearing the pto down would enable you to run at a higher engine speed to generate the rated 40 hp

Hydraulic guillotine style firewood processors
cornish wood burner replied to tcfengineering's topic in Firewood forum
There's a few about I think. I saw one at Morval show 18 months ago. It was splitting and cross cutting round wood about 200mm diameter. It was a home made horizontal splitter with a bigger ram than normal. If you have the oil flow to drive a bigger ram at a sensible speed then worth making provision for cross cutting as well as splitting. -
To answer your question your theory was right assuming you gear down your processor. If max engine power is achieved at or near 540 pto speed running closer to that you should see an advantage. From memory isn't max power of the 35x just above 540 pto speed, if it is you should squeeze a bit more from the old girl.
-
That would make things worse. Other way around to increase torque. Still only same power and only Shetlands in the 35 anyway.

Welcome to the forum Two pieces of advice 1 wear steel toe caps 2 don't drop fork lift tines on your foot it hurts. Sorry couldn't resist,hope you have a speedy recovery.

If you go the dumper way get a triple spool or more and run everything off that. Not sure how fast it would be and wouldn't comply to any regulations if you have staff. Telehandlers take some beating as a multi use tool. We have a bucket, grab, forks and access cage for ours. They are available in various steering setups. Four wheel steer or artic are very manoeuvrable for their size. Might be more money than you want to spend though.

Pulleys and strops to use with a Tirfor?
cornish wood burner replied to Woodworks's topic in General chat
The shear pin is to protect the winch by keeping it to its rated capacity. The winch should be the weakest part part of the system. Put another way your strops, rope,chain etc should be rated higher than any possible pull from your winch. If you do it any other way you are putting yourself and others around you at risk. -
I bought one too. FM 16 slightly bigger with 7 or 8 tonnes splitting force depending on who's figures you read. Cannot fault its performance and it looks to be built well. BUT I've had a fault with it and it's gone back under warranty. The wheels seem to be turning very slow so watch this space to see if it still gets my vote when there is a problem.

A bit of shouting and raving might have changed her mind about seeing you. Nothing like a good scene if there are several customers around. Worked for my wife in a large electrical store once. They couldn't get the money out of the till fast enough.
