Milwaukee here (3/4" Fuel one). Makita equivalent has actually proven better at tractor wheel nuts. Either way, an absolute essential in our line. Must have saved months of time by now.

He's been in the Arm Farm. So what. Wouldn't last 5 minutes.

Kiln RHI makes up the difference. Ridiculous.

No because the nominal 1.5 expected from MH by the firewood boys means loose cube from a tonne.

Ash is 1.28 m³ per tonne officially*

On lorry or stack? Either way it's length of timber x stack width x height. Then x 0.55 for hardwood. Sawlogs might make 0.65. softwood roundwood is 0.7 officially.

Ah thought you meant standing. RS then would be nearer 80-99 here

Sorry just re-read the op. Ok so it's drive able terrain but it's not because machines not allowed. You're going to need a forwarder so why on earth ban a harvester. So they want all the lengths winched to the edge, converted by hand and stacked by what? Walk away.

No way would I be paying £50-70/t. Could be only 50 tonne in the job, down a steep brambly bank and motor- manual only. Fk that. £10-20/t more like

I have to say; in all my 60+ years I've never known a year like it. After a wet end to 2023, deceptively dry January '24, it rained almost non stop until late May. We had one week of dust in July. Started raining again in August and apart from the first two weeks in November, it's been non stop rain again since.. We looked at our estate timber sales for the year and they are 20% of what we normally harvest. This is due to nothing other than the saturated ground making work either impossible or causing more damage than it's worth. Please God I never want to see the likes of this again.

Pihl Logging announced it. He'd been ill for some time. Not fake.

Too Young. "Less Bitchin - More Loggin'". 😭

Wtf is cordwood?

Ah, if as Steve B says he was motivated by a rescue mission then fair enough. Driving through the water fine - causing extra damage by the speed tsunami he created isn't. Imo.
