  1. BUILD don't buy! Some of the flimsy crap I've seen shops trying to sell, cashing in on the increasing people getting wood burners really gets on my ****!
  2. Not done any euc' yet (there's some buried in our pile somewhere though), but have been warned about it.....
  3. I hope too he's praised for saving the tractor unit though..... The TruckNet UK Drivers RoundTable • View topic - Shortbread anyone?
  4. Grade 1 listing - is that possible?? Or, A TPO of some kind???
  5. This is sort of our set up ATM, as we'll be moving farms very soon now..... Our processor... [/img]
  6. Cut it back!!?? You what I'd like to CUT OFF!!! OK, the story's in the 'Daily Fail'... But surely someone somewhere will see sense before it's too late!
  7. Just clicked your web link Joy and the computer went mental...???
  8. Done no logs today, had to get on delivering all day - catching up from the boss being on holiday last week. But yesterday, I was doing a 'little' bit of elm. I mean little as in, I've never known to swear at a piece of wood so much in my life!!!!! Ok, people say it get tougher to cut / split as it ages, but this must have been felled in the 1800's, it that hard!!!!
  9. Quite a few variants of m3 by the looks of it depending on how wet the wood is arriving then...?
  10. I'm guessing you're asking what a timber carrying with self loading grab type wagon can hold - not some container or curtain sider type truck?? Depends on what the diameter of the wood is too.... We get processor sized wood in - we stipulated no diameters bigger than 12inches, but we give a little lee way for the base of the trunks only... The truck we get in usually has on 25/26ton, and I think that works out at 'about' mid to high 30's cubes... But I could - or more like, will be wrong.......
  11. My guess, is about 8 to 12tn a (good) day. And that's me on my own. 3t min digger fitted with a hydraulic thumb, loads a roller conveyor that butts up near to the loading conveyor of our Rytec CP800 (eco) processor. I'll either load into the telehandler bucket to a huge vented pen, or into tattie boxes.
  12. If you're going to still 'bolt it' somewhere, bolt it to the inside of the chip box somewhere... High up the side wall maybe, not at the back where it may get buried with chip though...
  13. Was told yonks ago, if you get any cherry, try and 'save' the chainsaw waste for people with meat / fish smokers.
  14. Trying to persuade boss to get one of those digger mounted hydraulic splitters to 'breakdown' our large discs into manageable pieces... Then at least if / when some that's too big for the processor, we can still make them smaller without breaking our -or more like my back!

    Lighting

    Mininthebox.co.uk for the bulb side of things???
  16. Well I didn't know that! Boss' wife at work is 'trialling' some biomass pellets as horse bedding!?? Says you lay it down, dampen it a wee bit - it then 'fluffs up' back nearly it's original form, to form stable bedding. Less dust too.. Anyone already do Biomass for 'other' applications??
  17. But since posting that.... More orders have been 'added on'....
  18. Ex PCV & HGV driver me. Gave up the driving due to all the idiots, be it male, female, old or young!!! You're just a target for the crash for cash *****! Life's so much LESS stressful here now where I am...
  19. Possibly only good for chopping wood down for waste wood burners - For your kiln drier perhaps??
  20. He said 'YEAR ROUND breeding'.... That to me sounds like PUPPY FARMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :thumbdown:
  21. Is yours the 2 or 4wd Gator?? We have the 2wd one.... Never thought of doing that when sledging....
  22. Going to be dead here next week.... Boss is off snowboarding for a week, so only the important (every week without fail) customers are getting their logs....
  23. CPL, the fuel merchants is where we got our last 45gln drum from... That was the genuine stuff too.
