  1. That is an enormously inefficient way of drying logs so therefore hugely wasteful. Same as the guys who are the topic of the thread. Drying floor for logs is completely wrong. A few of our competitors do it locally and its crap. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. Can anyone point me towards sone biomass chipper guys in the Teesside area please? Ideally someone who'd be happy to do a few hours or a half day type job as we haven't loads of chip storage. G30 grade. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. [emoji85][emoji85] A log hook fell in the Vermeer 4090 without us noticing. Nice bill for a new set at £250+vat Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. We're getting a nice steady stream this year. 10ish cube a week, 90% probably brand new stove owners from the stove installers recommendations. Very lucky to have good relationships with 3 good local installers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. [emoji85] tell them to run it under a tap before they burn it! It's Unreal what some customers come out with. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  7. I've never had the time or the man power to set on and do a full load of timber with our Tajfun 400 but with a second pair of hands, the 360 and grab to keep the deck loaded im certain I could do a 25t load in 8 hours with it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. Sounds like you need a mid sized excavator with a screw splitter or a big horizontal PTO splitter. I saw our over size down to 1m lengths to quarter with our 22ton horizontal and then put through the Tajfun 400. Its a slow job and it makes more economical sense to pay £10 a ton more for timber that all fits through the processor. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. Where are you? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. Been sawing these lovely straight 4m lengths of pine up into manageable lengths to hand ball into the chipper for the biomass boiler. Was all going lovely until as we lost the light, a timber hook fell into the chipper unbeknownst to us and mangled up all3 blades [emoji85][emoji85] hopefully we can get them ground right back and still use them but it was rather frustrating!

  11. No, but usually the wagon is just the haulier. The timber dealer will email you all the documents every time. Ours does. They know it's needed for RHI so they have it to hand. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. And decent, legit timber trader will have all those details for any timber felled. Grants, licenses, management plans the lot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. Woodbioma.lt sell/make them. No bought any but if the website is anything to go by they look a pro outfit. They print them with your own design if you order a full pallet or more. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. Charnwood C4 is a good shout for your heat requirements. I love mine, plenty of control and I used a stove fan with mine too. Works great! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. It's not as good as it used to be because the process they used to do to make it at coal mines isn't done the same way anymore I believe. You can get a full barrel of it and then soak the wood in it for best effect. It's what we do for fence posts. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. The guy at our works could build you one no problem just let me know what length you want it/how much adjustment you need? Alternatively, try spaldings or MDT agricultural spared. The kind of thing you're after is a depth adjustment leg for a subsoiler or cultivator or even a tractor mounted yard brush would have one on. I know cos there's one sat in our workshop.

  17. Where are you based? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. Thanks, very kind of you to say so! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. Haha I know, not going on the road anywhere with it though. Just to the spot I stack the IBC's! Dmax pulled it no problem and that trailer needs a ton on it before it tows properly, it's horrible! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  20. Finally got round to this big stuff, average about 14" so having to re-split a few pieces each cut even with the 8 way on. It's making beautiful logs, barely any crappy bits. Hard work in the beating sun getting them down the stack on my own without the 360 because I was short of space though!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. I agree, I know I need a 17" type 73 Oregon multicut chain for my tajfun400. So I use chains direct because I can search by chain type instead. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  22. The chipper hates brash sorry, it just wraps round the infeed rollers or drops out the bottom before it reaches the drum. Most of it is sycamore bark that would crush up in the boiler auger but any bigger bits or kindling sized pieces of wood would cause a blockage. The boiler is a froling chip boiler. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  23. Been deliberating about how to deal with the brash created while processing and during drying. We'd like to utilise it in the biomass boiler then we get clean logs and no waste but it needs to be chipped and ours hates brash. What do people do? Not worry and send it out with the logs then it's the customers problem or do yours not like it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  24. They arrived yesterday so going to give them a go at the weekend when I can compare the 2 new thinner kerf chains to the standard chisel. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  25. Ordered a pro lam for the 550xp Rob. Cheers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
