    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.

    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.

    Tenbury Wells tractor: Man arrested after town flood damage WWW.BBC.CO.UK In a video, a wave from the tractor's wake is seen striking shops and homes in Tenbury... What a fricking Muppet. That's sympathy for farmers brought down a notch or two. Arrogance, pure and simple right there.

    I've done 15 hour weeks when the weather is ridiculous to 100+ hour plus weeks in the summer harvesting. What's normal?! 🤑

    I used to have the view (and so did in real life) it was better to run a bigger saw with a longer bar to give more power and less back strain. As I got older I started to like small saws again. No good in big trees though. A 500i on a 28' has been my daily for over a year now. Couldn't go smaller so appreciate the weight trimming. I'm cutting big Douglas.

    More boners for Britain. Now thinking up silly storm names in Alphabetical order 🤣
  19. Whoppa Choppa
    I think FMS would be your best ally in that scenario 👍

    Narrowing down the crankcase apparently. 500i style. Longevity? Clutch too small on 500...

    400.1 is supposed to be 400g lighter and doing away with the magnesium piston 🤷

    Someone who gave the queen the two-fingered salute ain't decent.

    Johnsond - on the whole I agree with the politic of what I read of what you've written. Probably about 10% of it max. But I have a question - how the FK do you have so much time to write so much?!
