Surprised they used the word "approx"

I was told by trading standards, a few years ago now, that there was no such thing as an approximate weight.

At least its in black and white, should weights and measures ever come through the gate.

Take a look at Anchor Pumps, based in Warrington.

 

We use them for our 110v pumps that we use all year round for pumping river water - some come with a very good warranty too.

Thanks.

Which make and model do you have?

So many to choose from

By trash, i meant sewage.

Submersible pump.

So i had this pump,

Problem with it was if a stone got stuck in the cutter, it would jamb it, and burn the motor out.

I gave it to someone for a sot, explained the whole stone thing to them, and got it handed back to me buggered

Just looking for a good all round pump, that will handle 99% of situations, that wont give me any bother.

HI MAC EGGS is your man on pumps mate thanks jon

Is Eggs still the man for pump advice?

Looking for a dirty water/trash pump, preferably electric, something that wont give me any hassle

You asked the same question and had it answered by Justme in the trailer deliveries thread two weeks ago. Firewood are goods that you own so are not hire and reward. Firewood is an integral part of a lot of forestry businesses and now to a large extent agricultural enterprises, I don't see many agricultural types worrying about tacho use when delivering by trailer around Norfolk? We have many college kids thundering round in 30 tonne tractors delivering maize for biogas who more likely to knock down the little kiddies!

Interesting, as the exemption form posted mentions nothing of this.

I dont see the part that says, goods that you own.....

It refers to goods for the drivers use, and as stated, firewood is not for the drivers use.

I also asked at which point do "goods that you own" become the customers goods?

As they could have paid for the firewood before delivery.

Also, if you charge delivery to deliver the firewood, x for the firewood, y for the delivery, couldn't this be deemed as being a courier?

I put one of those over my processor.

Concreted four bases where the legs landed, and bolted on for pieces of box section that the legs fitted into.

I then put bolts through the box section and the legs to hold everything in place.

Open on three sides, with the back enclosed.

Worked a treat.

Trying to find a picture...........

Do you have a video of this tractor and chipper on youtube?

Looks very familiar

Common theme here:-

 

Deeside - building a shed around a wood processor

Lanarkshire - building shed around log processor

Argyll (me!) - building a shed around my chipper and splitter

 

Must be something to do with our wonderful climate north of the south!

With Deeside being the exemption, West coast softies.

Harder breed on the East.

Which exemption is meant to apply?

The first one?

"material or equipment for the driver’s use"

If you are transporting logs, to sell to a customer, this is not for my use, me being the driver.

These logs are for the customers use.

Also, as previously stated by others, firewood is not forestry, so that exemption can not apply either.

You only need a cpc if your a professional driver, e.g. your a full time lorry driver.

If your a firewood merchant, delivering logs, you don't need a cpc, as driving isn't your "profession".

That's what I was advised, by VOSA

I had a Junkkari HJ500, very good chipper

I fitted those to my digger, and i think they are brilliant.

They give off an amazingly clear bright light

If your turn over is less than 82K, you dont need to be VAT registered.

If you are not VAT registered, you do not charge VAT.

If you are VAT registered, and your selling to the trade, i.e. retail outlet, wholesaler etc you charge them 20% (anyone who is not the end user)

If you are selling to a domestic user, i.e granny Jiggins down the road, who is using it to light her fire, you charge 5% VAT (the end user)

Try Wilsons, they usually have afew second hand machines on there website

If your turn over is less than 82k per year, you don't need to be vat registered.

You say timber is going begging, for 2 years I have been trying to find a reliable cord supplier that will supply me with first thinnings at a price that I can process, store, delivery and make money. That is not £55 a ton that seems to be the going rate delivered when I can import kiln dried crated ready to sell logs for about the same price. I want to buy British timber, OK I only have a small processor so need 300mm or below, I know thats a bit odd, but I have placed orders with three cord suppliers in the last 18 months, all said they are shortly cutting exactly what I need, yet not one stick has turned up. Problem is I need it delivered over the summer as it has to go over 200 yards of grass to get to my stack of cord.

 

With the pound being so strong why should I invest 30k upgrading my processor set up when I can make more money buying it in. I am not surprised that chip for this plant is being imported, teh cost of timber in the UK is currently to high. There is a port in Teeside so it will be heading there I expect.

What's the "about the same price" in Sterling, delivered to your door?

Softwood sells, but the price has to be right, in my experience.

I have no kiln experience, so excuse me if this is a stupid question/comment, but wont the kiln cause more of the bark to come off the logs, giving a quality issue?

Certain softwoods can be a pain for this, even air drying.

Ian guessing this will be a greater issue as your force drying.

That's assuming your processing fresh felled softwood.

How long does restoking the boiler take?

B16 END is coming up for future auction.

Also B16 BRA and B16 GOB.

Just incase anyone's interested.....

Bags wont work , you need IBC crates or stillages. The bio digester is essentially the same as a boiler. Check whether he is claiming RHI on the heat that you use because the setup will need to be slightly different if he is. You need to check the heat output that the BD will generate and then size your kiln accordingly. As Ash said insulation is key.

 

All you need are 2-4 heat exchanger's ( circa £1k each) cut into one end and vents on the other end of the container of the right size to let the air out. The set up is no different to any other container kiln. The hot water flow and return pipes from the DG are connected in the same way as it would be from the boiler.

 

£4-8K including a "once used" container would do it

 

I can send you some pics of the setup if you want ?

I'd like to see some pictures, thank you please

Yeah that's the one Renewaljohn, it's on the Fuelwood website as well.

This isn't a Heizohack?

Slow way to make wood chip......and bad quality chip at that

Yeah, shredded pallets.

Came across on youtube.

Its a machine made by HEIZOHACK.

I didn't think the stuff looked good, but it must be alright if they say so....?

Whats every ones thoughts on this wood chip?

Good stuff for chip burners?

Found it.
