  1. Do you load these boilers by hand?
  2. Which crane do you have, out of interest, and how old is it?
  3. Does anyone rate KTS cranes?
  4. Yes, double handling does occur, and yes its all time and money, but its still cost effective, for me and many other merchants. You guys will spend a fair bit of time a week/year feeding your boiler, probably, depending on your set up, double handling. I don't have a problem with kilns, or yourselves for having them. Iam just voicing my opinion, and telling the you how I operate.
  5. Yes, that's not a problem. I have 1m long billets sitting under 20% (most decent merchants will) Various other lengths and sizes in stock under 20%. I also have 3m billets sitting (not tested them, but will be around the 25% mark) Most decent merchants hold a variety of stock. Simples really.
  6. I could of had that out the same day, or next day at worst. Its called being organised. Most merchants that take a living from firewood are organised and can react to demand quickly.
  7. WTF? Your logs are better than mine because you kiln dry, absolute bull!!! Just because they have been in a kiln for a few days, doesn't make them any better than a fully seasoned air dried log. 20% moisture is 20% moisture, regardless of how it got there.
  8. 45 foot ejector trailer. Remove the back door, and weld in a knife. Job done.
  9. A very efficient way of transporting firewood, 2 cm crates. Wholesalers don't want to pay for empty space, and crates are the best way to reduce this.
  10. I have never seen kd softwood. Doesn't mean its not available, but I doubt if that will be the key to success.
  11. Are you going for it?
  12. Red spruce (Picea rubens)
  13. Its chucking it down here. Dark, wet and miserable
  14. Still ongoing.
  15. My neighbours got aerial photographs. Paid someone to go up in a wee putt putt plane and take pictures of my yard
  16. Oh yes. You need planning permission for everything these days.
  17. Phone Dalkeith
  18. If you are using it for hire or reward, you need a tacho. If your carting your own stuff, you don't need a tacho.
  19. Also, i believe, if your unladen weight is under 3.5 tonne, you work to GB domestic rules, not EU rules, and as long as you drive for less than 4 hours a day, no rules apply. Exemptions to the GB domestic rules The GB Domestic rules don’t apply if you: drive for less than 4 hours in any day drive off-road or on private roads during duty time drive a vehicle used by the armed forces, police or fire brigade are dealing with an emergency, eg major disruption to public services or danger to life
  20. As long as your unladen weight doesnt exceed 3.5 tonne, you dont need an OL. I think...............
  21. Mine says 79(tri),01 ??
  22. I have full A on mine also, but never done any bike test ..............
