    Have this company suddenly shit themselves? No answer to calls - been trying since yesterday. Initially parts department but you try other options to try and get somewhere - still nothing. Bugger.

    Farmi WP36 or stretch to £20k and get a Dalen. The End.

    Jess Phillips is a true she-devil. Nasty piece of work who doesn't police her turd as well as she thinks she does.

    Bear had sampled chocolate coated sausage before knew "nonononono"

    Hawthorn is beautiful stuff I must agree. It's been probably 15 or more years since I've enjoyed elm. My next glut will be sweet chestnut. Hundreds of tonnes so it had better pay off - cheap enough, half the price of ash.

    Stuff I'm looking at as we speak wasn't dead standing, but from a tree that was well but sadly blew over 3 years ago. I say sadly as the damaged crown was cut up but the tree re-planted - some operation that was but has worked well. The small dia firewood is amazing, air dried.

    Burning ELM for the first time in years - forgotten how AWESOME it is. King superb stuff. Ash et al no comparison. Elm makes ash look amateur. Serious heat and embers. Would almost grow it deliberately for the firewood, perfect size when the bug gets it anyway.

    Ditto. Detest it with every ounce of my being. Truly truly HATE it. Or what it's become anyway. Total waste of time and resources. Looking forward to arranging with family one year soon where I opt out completely. Means I'll need to get to a desert island sometime in the autumn. I don't want to hear, see, smell or feel anything to do with it.

    I was hoping this thread was going to be all about Shitmas and Tatmas and how everyone is bored of the nonsense. Just me then. Bah humbug.

    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.
  18. Whoppa Choppa
    No because the nominal 1.5 expected from MH by the firewood boys means loose cube from a tonne.
  19. Whoppa Choppa
    Ash is 1.28 m³ per tonne officially*
  20. Whoppa Choppa
    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.
  21. Whoppa Choppa
    Ah thought you meant standing. RS then would be nearer 80-99 here
  22. Whoppa Choppa
    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.
  23. Whoppa Choppa
    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.
