Did any body actualy see the posch autosplit kindling machine at jasp wilsons stand working??Apparently it ran one evening then they stopped it.Whats the point of a machine if all you can do is to look at it.It was meant to be demo'd at show but apperantly they had no wood!!Interested to hear whether any good or not.Cheers

I did. It jammed lots which was due to a show goer messing with it apparently. When it jams you seem to carry on trashing lots of wood until it clears rather than stop and clear problem. The bags seem to only be loaded randomly. The infeed conveyor for square wood looks very short. You need to stand on the step to get over the machine. Its physically large so will fill up your workshop. It is £1500 more than our kindlet we bought. It runs on 3 phase or pto ? no mention of single phase. I was not impresssed but you need to go and see it as shows are the best place for machines to play up. Could actually work if set up right.

Thanks for your reply your answer was what i heard it had jammed up & wilsons quickly pulled the tractor off it & just left it for folk to look at with hand picked kindling in it.Im going to a firewood supplier on friday to have a demo i'll take some of my wood & see how it realy performs.

Did you get a chance to see the autosplit working on friday ? How did you rate it ? Did it fare ok with knotty rings, and would you buy one over the kindlett ?
