Recommended Posts

Ive been exploring the idea of buying or hiring a processor of some sort . Ive looked at all the videos ,gone to a few demos and talked to guys with one .

One guy who seemed on the level reconed he could get through an artic load a day , fair enough i thought thats serious production .

However today I dropped in to a guy i noticed selling firewood and asked him what sort of production he could get in a day and he replied 12 bags using the above machine on a MF 135 . The bags are 900 x 900 x 900 similar to what i use myself .

Now considering i cut split and bagged 16 of the same size bags with a Spud special 357 , Fiskars x27 and a helper between 9 am and 2 pm on Saturday the benefits would be nonexistant (with the obvious exception of producing regular lengths for net bags).

Could anyone fill me in on typical average daily production ?

Don't know about the Hakki but did 15-16 tonnes today with our Farmi. Think that would equate to 30 m3 of logs. Niceish processor stuff a spare pair of hands and telehandler.

I had a Hakki pilki 2x a few years ago which would be 1/2 to 2/3 rds the output of a x37. With nice 8 in timber I could do a cu metre in 20 minutes. Bent hard knotty stuff or 3 in sticks and a metre could take 1 hr 20 minutes. Things that help are a good nippy loader and a good load deck. I think the most we did was 16 cu metres in 6 hrs inc lunch but we had to deal with thick mud and basic log deck and old temperamental processor. Get things organised on firm ground with the right kit.
