Hi does anyone know of someone that does loler inspections for climbing kit in the Ashford, Kent area? Thanks.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew how much the biomass plant at Sandwich would buy wood for? If anyone knows an average price per tonne that would be great thanks ( the wood is oak/hornbeam and birch if that helps ) thanks

So.... What is it then?!

Thanks very much, I'll have a look

Does anyone know of any good books for fungi ident and information about fungi?

Thanks [emoji4]

Just emailed them again today and they said they'll hopefully be out within the next 3 months.......what a joke [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

I emailed them and they said thwy should come out about March time, and price for a type c with a midrange outer layer would be about the same as the breathfkex trousers, so about £160? Dont know why they couldnt just say a price [emoji23]

Yeah im interested to see the price

https://arbortec.com/arborflex this is all i can find, this website seems a bit useless because you cant click on anything its just pictures

Ive looked on there website but cant see anything?

Cool, any idea when there out?

Hi, a few months ago i watched a video on here about the new interchangable arbortec chainsaw trousers. I was wondering if anyone knew when they would be avaliable to buy?

Thanks

What about them?
There's another video here that shows the feed rollers.
 

Ball park figure for good sweet chestnut coppice in Kent/Sussex is £400-£450 per acre standing, £11-£14 per tonne haulage plus your extraction costs.

Do you think pickups do roughly 35 mpg on average?

I would also be interested in what pickup truck has the best fuel economy?

I've never used one personally but I have used the titan beaver and the rock venom. They're all pretty much the same machine really. Pros of the rock venom is that you get a Briggs and Stratton engine, cons is has fixed position discharge chute. Couldn't fault either of them really. They're obviously no timberwolf but they're great little machines for what they are. 

Has anyone on here used the jansen gts 1500 chipper? Looks good. Any thoughts??

I cannot answer your question of what should it cost to buy an acre of Oak coppice for felling.  But I can tell you what I pay for such timber when it is delivered to me as firewood. 
 
Currently £46 per ton delivered.  This could be different in your area of course.  So if there is 70 tons in the end, that is worth (I would say) £3220 but that is delivered to the customer and it will need three trips with a timber lorry, so that means you will only get to see about £2500 or so.
 
At a guess if you have to pay someone say £500 for extracting and stacking you will only really be getting £2000.  So I guess the answer is unless you are a very fast worker you should not pay much for the timber - if anything.
 
For a larger site using heavy machinery it is a different ball game as you may be able to fell and extract hundreds of tons in a day, but if it is just one acre you will just be hand felling I assume.
 
I would advise making enquiries of firewood sellers in your area to see what price they will buy Oak cordwood for.  Bear in mind that Oak is not the favourite firewood as it is so difficult to dry.

Do you mean the purchase of an acre of standing timber to coppice or an acre of woodland to buy?
What is the 60-80 tonne total product, fencing material, firewood, chip or all three?
You would also need to cost extraction as well as haulage and that depends on access/location and how well you have planned your felling operation etc, have you any experience of any of this?
