    EDIT (was too slow) Why not chip it yourself, or hire in a chipper? Provide the full service, not just part of it Dry chip round here sells for £110+ per tonne ex works Chip wood costs £30 a tonne delivered Hiring a chipper will cost approx £5 per tonne

    find someone with a log boiler, or similar that takes long logs, 500mm+ sorta size, flog it to them. alot less cutting and splitting

    Kindlet, by Fuelwood, wants the feed stock exactly 6inch long and no bigger than 8inch in diameter. That's a whole load of cutting and splitting before you start making kindling. Also, the machine isn't keen on knots or twisted wood

    Big hail showers on the north east making the ground white

    I have a 12 way for the 1x42, but its very rarely used. The logs are tiny.

    What's the throughput of the taj @250mm logs? In ideal sized sticks
  8. briquette_seller
    Should be done at their expense. Stay well clear.

    I like the idea of not having to change the splitter. That's gonna save heaps of time

    Get a Sthil chain stuck on and she will be brand new. Solved all my problems.
  11. briquette_seller
    What make of chain are you using? I had bother with Oregon chains last year. Only buy Sthil chains now and never had any bother.

    Sounds like its blunt

    I spent a fair bit of time looking into running a 6 tonner for doing log deliveries. Never did I read that you cant do the inspections yourself. As I stated, you will need a fair amount of mechanical knowledge. Sounds to me like your mate is getting taken for a ride. Tests don't cost anything near to £700+, as stated!!!

    Which bit isn't true?

    I did give this option much consideration, but in the end bought a dedicated wood boggy. If you want it to be a "dual purpose" trailer, which i did, the crane is at time going to be in the way, eg when your carting boxes, pallets or bales. I also looked at a Z crane, that would fold up behind the head board, but they seemed very expensive. If your looking to use it as a dedicated trailer for carting timber round the yard and road work, it will be fine. In the woods might not be so good.

    The sales have fairly picked up again. The local news paper had a write up in it saying it might snow this weekend

    Dont get a Fastrac, VOSA love trying to put them off the road
  18. briquette_seller
    I know a man with the exact machine

    Inspections, depending on mileage are every 6 to 12 weeks. I don't think you have to be a qualified mechanic but you will need reasonable amount of knowledge. If you inspect the lorry and something goes wrong, you will be held accountable. It only takes a couple of hours to inspect the lorry, so shouldn't be overly expensive. Pretty sure you need a transport manager cpc, but yeah, you can ne your own manager. Again, alot of responsibility, if something happens your help accountable.

    Cheers fella

    Lorry needs 6 weekly checks, operators licence, cpc, transport manager, yada yada, yawn yawn. That's a whole lot of time and expense, and hassle. Not trying to put you off, just being real. Have you considered a hook lift type lorry? Iam thinking it might be cheaper to have a body specially for your needs. Also give you more flexibility, use it as a tipper between times, cart wood chip, gravel for the roads etc
  22. briquette_seller
    why not use a tractor and boggy, if its just local?
  23. briquette_seller
    How did you get a new feed into the house?
  24. briquette_seller
    Does anyone do this? Any downsides to doing this? Recently moved into a house that has a water meter, looking to install a Rainwater Harvesting system for washing the motor etc, not for using in the house.

    Where did you get them from?
