I got a pair from an army surplus store once, they're plain green made from a ripstop material, very lightweight, comfortable and pretty much indestructible. Need to trawl a few stores see if I can find another pair, as is typical don't think they're branded but I'll check. Doesn't help you very much but maybe worth a visit to a surplus store.

No one is gonna do it as a favour, but if there's someone nearby who knows what they're doing and is low on wood they'll prob do it. Doesn't take long to get them down and decent amount there, all very dependent on location as said above haulage too far will kill it

I saw similiar a while ago...

I can take any amount of wood and a few loads of woodchip, good access for trucks wide tarmac track. In Fontwell so not far from Littlehampton. I'll DM you my contact details if you like?

I've wondered the same thing, for the stress control to be cutting in regularly surely means ya engine ain't big enough? But come to the conclusion its all about the money. What's stopping you (or me) getting a 100hp chipper or larger (probably rated as 12"or something) and just not putting anything over 6" through it. Then it'd be running at tickover and never struggling. But for the money we'd spent we'd want to be chucking 12" stuff through it just because you could.

General feedback I've heard from a number of people who run them, Sany's are slightly better than the Liugongs, but as already been said a Kubota/Takeuchi/Cat etc will hold value so much better. Looking at a 1.5t liugong parked next to its kubota equivalent the other day... the kubota was just so much more compact for the weight.

Sounds like its past renovation but you should be able to reduce to 5% vat on refurb which isn't a lot, if you can prove it hasn't been lived in for 2 years. (To encourage empty houses to be utilised). Or as others have said zero vat on new build Ref demolition; Large machine+ large skip =fast but expensive Dismantle by hand and separate materials = slow but v cheap (my preferred option if it was me)

Yea I spoke to a local tree surgeon who was quite keen for me to collect the wood from a site he's working on as had no use for it. Register on the tipsite on here as you may have some luck that way if u havnt already. But get through a lot so always on the hunt.

Thanks John, it was a no brainer when I used to sell firewood but quite a big outlay for personal use. Will bear in mind now i know tho.

Great thanks Steve. Tip site directory is a great feature btw, the other day i thought i could do with some chip 10mins later someone phoned asking if they could tip😮😆. No such thing as a free meal they say, but seems a shame when piles of timber are left to rot or large stems chipped then dumped. Can't expect them to go out their way to help but this helps, if I can make it more attractive or convenient then I might get somewhere.

Yes I see thanks Rob I'll try that.

Thanks Doobin, this may be an option handy to know.

OK so I've been registered on tipsite for a while now, its been really good and had a few loads of chip and 1 load of wood. But could use a whole heap more wood and now got loads of room to store. If this isn't a cheek to ask, would anyone within say 15-20 miles of Chichester, West Sussex have heaps of wood/arbwaste sitting in there yard they'd like removed? Any size ok, can cut (have relevent tickets CS30/31). Or maybe even exchange some time on site helping cut up in return for a few trailer loads of wood or something? Just thought this might be more attractive to a busy company than dropping it off at my tipsite? Or perhaps I'm best to just phone a few local companies? Will also speak to some of the local estates to see what chordwood they've got available for sale. Would consider Arundel/Chichester/Portsmouth/Petersfield/Midhurst etc. If anyone is interested 07557008097. Thanks 🙂

I've listed as a tip site and found this site fantastic. Generally get a call about when I'm needing another load, and had a couple of loads of hardwood dropped off too. All from tree surgeons working out their normal area. They've been very appreciative for letting them tip, I'm grateful everyones happy. Have had it where about 5 phone up the same week and turned them away but they understand, try and point them to another tip site if i can. Keep up the good work😊

Could try Nigel at Kentdown he had his for sale don't know if its still available, its still on 'items for sale' on his website. Kentdown Mushrooms WWW.KENTDOWNMUSHROOMS.CO.UK

I did this exact thing, plastic pallet base with wooden pallet sides and a sheet of plastic for the roof as wanted something that wouldnt rot, and only about an hour to build. Worked well, base didnt break but then i wasnt moving it. Got fed up stacking logs in there and wasnt big enough so built a very large multi compartment logshed with galvanised metal stillages as base and metal mesh fencing as sides, similar to your ibc idea can just throw them in. If you're only occasionally having a fire and get through 1-2m³ a yr 1st idea is fine, any more then go for the ibc set up. I put mine on some concrete blocks and didnt bother with plastic pallet under the metal.

I've got a 6'x4' paxton trailer, any ideas where I could get a set of high mesh sides to fit? Think Paxton have gone as website no longer live? Apache look the same but don't answer phone or reply to emails. Any help appreciated, thanks.

We had piece of 18mm plywood 600mm sq with 4 pneumatic swivel castors screwed on the bottom, pulled the bags off the truck and landed them on it. Worked well.

You will struggle, have looked into this in depth before havnt found a courier that will take them. Most successful battery dealers have a network of depots and deliver on their own vans, and push them out at ridiculous low prices to anyone using a fair few. Also a pain if you stock them yourself as they can lose charge on your shelf. Also many batteries have a 1 year warrenty, so you'll need a courier who can collect any duffs. All in, a pita - but a quick google search shows many online battery wholesalers so maybe they've found a courier that will 🤷‍♂️?

Or I've used McVeigh Parker at Adversane just south of Billingshurst.

Redstone Tyres in Ford, West Sussex would almost definitely have something, worth a call.

What about 'Road liable to flooding'? Surely should be 'Road liable to flood' or 'Road susceptible to flooding'. Liable to flooding - its like saying 'Road likely to flooding'. Or am I missing something?

I did some research on these, although i haven't bought one yet Luke from stubbings-bros in the Isle of wight was v helpful on a Jasen hydraulic reckoned only a couple of weeks to ship from Jansen.

BPH attachments you wont be disappointed, built to last and the service/aftersales backup etc is brilliant. Probably not the cheapest but one of the best.

Could try M O'Briens?
