Busy few days knocking out Oak orders and milling Larch for my own uses. Since my Log Deck is in the process of getting moved Ive had to improvise. Also been laying claim to some Oak when out and about. [emoji3]

Really? Im no expert (by a long long shot) but found Lime to be far more paler, at least up here. I agree on the bark though. Pics on the laptop are much easier to scrutinize than the phone.

Fair enough. I don’t know. We’re just surmising get here. Whatever the motive they thought it was worth the effort. They might not even flog them on. Perhaps they’re looking at what buying in dumpy bags of green logs cost and cutting out the middle man? Two folk would easy shift 6t of logs in an afternoon. Even an old fart like yourself would manage it on your Tod.

Round here it’s £90 a dumpy bag for hardwood, often green. Mental I know. A bag is what? 300kg? So 1t oak or beech log is 3 bags of £90 of logs. Im guessing Dave paid around £100 a ton so £600 worth could be 6t. 6t x 3 = £1800 in dumpy bag sales of green logs. No bad money for an afternoons thieving.

And they’d be welcome to try.

What a bugger! They’re lucky you where not there. I’d no fancy a slap off those size 11 hands![emoji16]

Surely the guy with the Stump Grinder dictates the rates?

Which way you going to play it. Buy or sell? I’ve sent Mark a PM. Hopefully he sees it and we can have a chat.

Everyone and their dog claims to have an uprated version of the Rimi when they're caught out flogging the same machines. I assume you have proof of the claimed upgrades to justify the massive mark-up? I can but the RM500 for less than you're selling this basic machine. Why you think Im located close to Rock I have no idea? -
Its a pain in the arse but not mine. Been bodged a few times to keep it going. Im £60 a day including fuel and he drops it off and collects it. Im not gonna grumble.
-
Well would you look at that.
-
£15k! That’s mad! Yeh, looks like I need to sit down to open the email when it arrives. 🤣 I guess I’ll need to start looking into bodging up a permanent rail set up as well. I’ll have to look on YouTube . Thanks for the offer. Yes, I can see me asking for some advice. Can’t sell on here now that you all know what I’ve paid for it. 🤣
-
That’s beautiful! I think the logs have already started to spalt, that’s what they think anyway. But I see your point. I should have mentioned that there is next to no access. Im not sure I’d even get the Jeep down the side of the house. They said a small car can get down. So an Avant would also make it. I’ve not seen the site myself so it’s all based on the homeowners opinion.
-
Maybe? Good point. If they get back to me I’ll ask.
-
I’m just waiting on a quote. Will see what they say.
-
Damn, more than I expected. I might bang it on eBay then. 🤣 If nothing else I’ve a good GX390 😁
-
Everything is missing apart from what’s in the pics. So I don’t expect it to be cheap. Sorry, I meant fuelwood. I think I actually seen a post a while back looking for rails. Maybe the guy I bought it off. 😁
-
Yeh, that’s there. It runs fine and what’s there all seems to work. I’ve contacted woodfuel for a price on a new set of rails. I expect they’ll be £2-3k
-
Well, bought it for £200 today. 🤣 It’s the baby 6-13 so must be quite old but the Honda GX390 must be worth £200 anyway. So worth a punt.
-
If I can’t mill on-site I just can’t see how I’d get it home. I’d need the Avant on a trailer and another vehicle with a trailer to take home. Hardly seems practical.
-
My mill takes a 30” log. But I’m not turning a 30” Oak log 4m long 4 times to get it down to the 24” cant. So yes, I’ve been knocking the sides off freehand. Or a mix of free hand and lifting and turning with the Avant I get in. This was a chunky bit of oak I loaded just before it got dark.

That’s just a Rimi Processor is it not? I could ship one in myself from Alibaba for half that price. If I was gonna go with a UK distributor for an identical Chinesium processor I’d get a Rock Machinery version. -
Funnily enough I've just been contacted about milling some Spalted Burr (maybe burr) Maple. They're not planning on going ahead with it due to the cost and no-where to store the Slabs. About 36" diameter but they cut the log in two so only a 2m and 1.7m length. Ive suggested I come mill it and leave them a slab. They're planning on cutting it up for firewood though. I wonder if its worth the day out milling?
