Processor Plans

[Logs4you.co]

Hi everyone really need some help. We are considering buying or building a wood processor. Trying to avoid the massive cost they are. I was thinking of getting a guy that we use to build it who is more than capable but trying to find some free plans. Anyone know where i can get some from or have some?

From previous experience of building things, you would probably be better off buying a second hand one, it doesn't take long for the bill to start mounting up especially when someone else is building it.

Have you tried building one? what happened? I am very interested because they are very expensive and seem reasonable simple.

Problem is what happens if the machine fails and someone is injured as a result?, will your insurer cover that and if so at what cost. CE approvals are in force for some products and are I think coming to processors soon, I think that all that top brands are CE tested anyway.

Is the price really that high for the productivity?!

Would anyone recommend a secondhand one and if so do you know of a place that sells them local to devon and cornwall

Not built a firewood processor, but have designed and built several other machines, and also paid to have one piece of kit built because we didn't have machinery big enough to deal with the job.

various prices of stuff like gearboxes, bearings, machined shafts and conveyer belting and such will add up and it don't take long for one problem to add up to several hours to sort out which is fine if building it yourself but if you are paying someone by the hour it will soon add up aswell. unless the saving is substanial I wouldn't risk the safety/reliability issues to save what will not be that substantial an ammount

Keep an eye on the classifieds here, as regards people selling them Fuelwood have a decent reputation here. You tend to get what you pay for but I have found them fair to deal with. Dont think there is anyone down your end of the country selling them.

 

I may be looking to sell my JAPA 700 + JAPA manual log rack but not till at least next year and maybe even the year after. I am though in Northants.

There is a guy in Ireland making them, he sells via eBay. Might be worth asking if he would sell you a plan for one of his? I have his email if interested

Yea his email would be good. I am opening to anything. I have the tractor so did think I could also hire one. But not sure where to go about looking for that either. Bit wet behind the ears when it comes to processors.
