As title says what’s everyone using to deliver logs. Currently using a ranger pickup and 10x5 ifor tipper
-
I can highly recommend log man , he supplies some of my kindling when I’m in mid season and too busy to cope. Always punctual with orders and good products packed well. Rob

Yea forestboy it’s great , I’ve had it for about 12 months or more now and Lloyd’s too , Barclays put it out on trial about 12 months ago which you had to apply to be in which I did and I have only been in branch about twice since , it’s not only the fact there is now less branches but they’re never open when us ‘busy folk ‘ have time to go.

Thanks for reply’s. Probably 50 ish hp? I’ve run on 62 no problem at all. I’m changing my business structure so no longer needed. Rob

It looks to me like an old laverda combine harvester.

Wow 1953 , I wasn’t born til 1990. Ive just changed the way I do my logs so I need to ring everything now. Balfor do a 13 inch cut one which they reckon is the biggest on the market.
-
As title suggests what sawbench does everyone use ? I currently use the modern major sawbench but only capable of cutting up to 11 inch. Anyone use the Balfor sawbench that does up to 12 inch?
-
Well done. Mines set to 8 inch which il probably stick with. I bought a small conveyor from a farm sale yesterday ready to split logs straight into ibcs. When you hoping to have it up and running?
-
Up for sale due to changing to a fuelwood splitta. 2004 machine. Good working order after £4500 for it. Rob
-
Hiya. Yes after a slight wiring issue when we changed the 3 phase plug we were set up Saturday afternoon and ran 2 ibcs of rings through it. Takes some keeping up with. But overall very impressed but only had an hour playing with it so far.

Stolen chipper spotted on ebay..

Looking at the shape of the Shute extension looks a different shape ?? -
Funnily enough jcarbor I bought A380s phase splitta 360 yesterday too.
-
Ahh brilliant,sorry I wasn’t trying to be rude just I know how those net bags they only need the smallest thing to snag on. Rob
-
Looks good but if you’re planning to use net bags on it you may find because of the chequer plate the bags catch as you put them on and off the bagger. Rob

Hi there swinny, looks smart , have you tried it on moving cordwood out of a stack etc ?? Rob.
-
I use the all metal bases , the part metal/plastic blocks ones or the all plastic bases seem quite durable. I’m using about 90 in circulation at the moment and 60 are full of processed logs which I just rotate out on my forks into the trailer or tip out to bag up from. I’ve only completely knackered one by dropping it off the forks. So are they seem a fantastic investment I’ve got them outside 2 high with the tanks cut in half as lids and the wind is doing a fantastic job of drying the wood out at the moment. Rob
-
Yes I’m afraid our budget got blown out of the water as we thought this one was so much better for our money.
-
HI Thanks for all replies, we went down to a fairly local retailer to us yesterday and after much deliberation we purchased a burley fireball (Honeywell) 5kw just a wood burner but supposedly rated as the most efficient stove on the market at 89.1 percent efficiency. Now just to purchase the right fan to go on top ??? Rob
-
Hi. Not in a smoke control area, and we put in a new 6” liner in the summer ready. I have looked at the hamlet 5 , looks a nice stove.
-
I can’t seem to find any clearview stoves under 650. My friend has a pioneer 400 which is a nice stove but at £1100 ish is way above budget.
-
As title says I’m looking for recommendations on a new 5kw multi fuel stove , im sure this topic has probably been covered before but if you wouldn’t mind sharing you’re ideas / experiences with me please I’d greatly appreciate it. £400-£500 maximum budget. Cheers. Rob

I’m running insa turbo rangers on my ford ranger 255/55/18s theyve been on the truck 12 months log delivering, a lot of towing (tractors/farm machinery/logs) the front tyres are hardly worn but the backs are down to about 30 percent. Just ordered 2 new ones for the back and I’m sure the fronts will do another 12 months or more. 2 for the back were £160 for the pair delivered. So a long way cheaper than bfg etc. Rob

Thursday evening I went for a meal with friends at a pub around Tewksbury, came out to find some little rascal had smashed the back passenger window on my ranger and stolen a white makita impact driver and battery out of the back seat. So a £40 meal turned into a £75 window excess on my insurance, a £150 impact driver bill and at least a week or 2 without a window in the truck as it’s tinted glass and special order.

Hi i run a 2014 tt3017 , which is the 10x5 it has its own battery and pump tucked under the bed which is ideal. Its on the heavy duty wheels and tyres as they call them at iw. Brilliant trailer, I’ve delivered 100 loads of wood on it since last September. Had a 1.8 ton mini digger on it and about 4 ton of soil which it handled fine.
