  1. Good luck to them with that.
  2. £50 road side? Beech is nice to process. Beech and sycamore are my favourites to process
  3. Aye, road side, processor size. Big stuff cheaper. Do you think that's expensive?
  4. What processor you using?
  5. KILN DRIED FIREWOOD | United Kingdom | Gumtree
  6. I love an angry rambler WHY ARE YOU CUTTING ALL THESE TREES DOWN? WHAT A MESS YOUR MAKING!!!
  7. Larch Sawfly - Lygaenematus erichsoni The adults are harmless . The caterpillar like larvae eat Larch needles causing galls, and in large numbers, severe defoliation.
  8. very common in larch
  9. A lot of farmers round here are investing in biomass chip burners, 200kw, and installing drying floors. It suits their working life styles as its automated, and low labour costs etc. Some pay up too £100 for wood chip, per tonne (and still make money) You can buy chip wood here for £30 delivered and get it chipped for £5-£10 a tonne, so raw material costs are fairly low. Granted, more initial cost, but over 20 years, the saving in labour etc, must make it pay, compared to hand prepping and feeding a batch boiler?
  10. Ok, iam with you. Biomass chip burner. Probably more expensive, but less work/labor involved over the 20 year period. Do you get chip burners that burn arb chip?
  11. He didnt like the ford ranger?
  12. Why not go automated and go for a chip burner?
  13. Not a bad choice, although your limited to only splitting a max of 500mm long. If you'd gone down the Riko route, you could of had a max of 1000mm long. Requirements change, its best to cover all angles. Multec is a good splitter though, especially for the moneys.
  14. I have a Uniforest splitter, supplied by Riko, which has a 3 phase motor, aswell as a pto drive. First class machine
  15. What's your power source for the splitter, tractor? Electricity? Forklift hydraulics?
  16. I must add, Multec to an age to deliver, and kept promising me dates, and kept letting me down. That pissed me off.
  17. I have a Multec, forget the tonnage, was one of their very first splitters. Good value for money and well enough built. Mine has a side table, which isn't that well made, the steel isn't heavy enough. I also have a Uniforest splitter that came from Riko, 25 tonnes I think. Very well made, an absolute beast. Riko are also a very good company to deal with.
  18. You can only cart your own goods, not someone else's
  19. :driver::driver::driver:Gotta spend it to make it
  20. You can buy extended splitters. Phone Jim at Riko. I have a Balfour splitter that does just over 4 foot (if memory serves me right)
