    For arb waste you can't go wrong with a chainsaw and axe or hydraulic log splitter, and if your not doing a great volume then don't over complicate things by getting expensive machinery as all it will do is produce what u need then sit around for a while and obviously with more machinery comes more expense and more trouble with it breaking down or getting pinched!!

    You will get a bit of scapegoat back aswell when you clear the ash tray then!! And it's always nice to see a lovely clean concreted yard, not that I or any of the other lads on here would be jealous or anything ; )

    Let's hope we do leave! Another case where I think business will be better if we have less firewood imports

    Well I'm guessing he would need more than just one axe haha, been using the axe this week having a break from the processor, I quite enjoy axing but the output is just not there, then again I can split probably around 2cube an hour if a get stuck in, did a day of 6 hours and got just over 10 cube done
  8. william petts
    Only 750 tonnes a month I don't know y you bother haha ; ), nah good on you, I think we did about 40 cube in April at a guess probably a bit more thinking off it so we have dropped of a bit but now it's summer and other work takes over

    So how have the sales been this spring!!
  10. william petts
    We have sh*t loads of wood all cut and split, I'll get some pics for you but this time last year we went crazy processing loads and I mean loads of wood especially when we were hearing of it being the coldest winter in 50years, so as we didnt sell as much as we expected (although it was still oir best year to date) we have loads of wood ready for next winter qhich means we only have to process the odd few load of arb waste as and when it comes in!

    i havnt been doing any logs for the past week but still got loads of poplar, wilow, oak and some softwood rings to split, but been to busy pot filling and pricking out seed and young plants, always a sign of the end of the winter for me!!
  15. william petts
    so how have you guys been faring as winters coming to a close, we have been pretty busy but slowed up the last week especially as its got alot warmer!!!
  16. william petts

    been splitting a mix of ash, oak, cherry, eucalyptus and some softwood and the pic is a contrast of past and present!!!
  19. william petts
    still only a few weeks untill its sunny and the ground will be hard, with no rain.......... or is that just hopeful thinking!!
  20. william petts
    do any of you guys who offer machine hire of their log splitters and processors etc get alot or any work hiring them out
  21. william petts
    could you not use the chipping/sawdust for anything like biomass, surely anythings better than just throwing it away, after all it may sound silly but youve had to pay for the cord and all the waste is sorta like throwing money away
  22. william petts
    should keep ya busy mate!!!
  23. william petts

  24. william petts
