Really considering a small drying floor using heat from the biomass to dry our own chip down further. (We’re self supplier woodsure certified etc.) Have read up and unfortunately we’d need to have this heat ‘unmetered’ so that we aren’t claiming the RHI on it, due to the shenanigans of certain...

67% price increase from the only supplier that will deliver to us. Will the RHI payments reflect this increase in cost?!

Pre lamb crutch with a couple of blows over the belly to keep access nice and clear. Contractor does it with a Hecton crate on compressed air. Not had slipped lambs before and minimal stress for the ewe.

I feel your pain brother. Used to get stick for ours. “You’ll never overload a Bateson!” Had our Nugent a couple of years now, no issues. Love it. Swear jar doesn’t fill as quickly as it used to.
