Thread: Any Idea's ????

It is an Irish company. They say they will sell direct to a customer if there is no dealer in the area.

I have not seen them before. You could contact them direct for details. It looks as though the timber trailer (mini timber jinker) is off road only, so I am not sure what application you had in mind.

I got 260 acres to cut timber out of for a mate but he's moved on to greener pastures. Owner is still interested in doing it dont really want to move the mill around to much but I dont want to drag logs back to the mill area 1 at a time either

how big are the logs that you are moving and what sort of "bush" is it

I'd grab an old farm trailer, the sort they use for hay. I have, in the past seen them go for $200. Modify it if you need to.

I reckon you would find one a bit more expensive than you could justify mate. We sell things similar and honestly they are not cheap!!! if you could afford that you wouldn't buy a lucas mill you would build a full on, in situ, green mill and several kilns.

yeah trying to justify the cost didnt work to well It was just a thought
Krunchie Logs are native hard wood between 600mm - 800mm spotted gum red an grey Iron barks

Keep an eye out for farm clearing sales for hay trailers or similar. Bear in mind you need something to tow them with too. On flat (make that very flat), dry ground you may get away with a big 4WD, but otherwise you are looking at a tractor of some description. It could be an old tractor past it's best, because towing is easy for a tractor (not so with ploughing).

Perhaps the property owner has a tractor.

I know of one for sale(new) but its $35000 it can lift 1.5t and take 15t

I d like more info on that Krunchie please not ready to right away but would like to know avalability and where to get one. It will go on the back of a 450 case drott or a 120 Same tractor. Dont like double handling logs but when ya gotta move em ya gotta move them.

If you look hard enough you can find old hiab trucks for less than 12k. Gets your logs to the mill and your product to the buyer. Two birds, one stone and only one extra machine to maintain

Yeah I ve got my Ute on ebay trying to sell it so I can buy Exodors old truck an Mill but its been a really wet year at home any of the queenlanders will tell you that I dont mind taking the truck off road but you know what its like with parts down time let alone weather as well, With the developers blocks I ve got to get the timber as it falls I ll truck it to an other site but I ll still need to use tractor in the paddock look at it like this header, chaser, Mill an truck to customer as with all things your weakest point is alway logistic's an Bass and for non paying customers there s the woodchipper lol

On this subject I have a friend in Millmerran with a bogie axle International set up with a hydraulic crane and loading ramps (He transported his little bulldozer). I think he was after around 15K for it, but I'd have to check that if it was of interest.
