Anyone here ever used a Posch cone splitter?

Well I found a picture of the table attachment. I've got to be honest I reckon I can do better than that!

It's finally here. What an amazing machine - honestly my old Hycrack was good but compared to this it was a toy.

 

The safety bar is fantastic, and the cone on it is absolutely huge! I shoved an 18" round by 3' long log onto it earlier and it just popped it straight in half. It would take a good hydraulic splitter to take on the things this can split. It also seems to need less power than the Hycrack. Fair enough the mog was set on 540rpm rather than 1000 so I could get a feel for it more slowly, but it was right down on tickover and didn't grumble in the slightest on any of the logs I fed it.

 

I spoke to Posch about a manual for it. They emailed Wilson's who have been in contact with me to find out serial numbers etc so they can source me the right one and I'm just about to get back to them with it. Can't fault their customer service considering it's a used splitter and I didn't even buy it from them!

 

Now to build the table. I'll get some pictures up next time I use it. I was a bit excited today and forgot!

I had a job cancel on me today so spent the day making a log table for the new splitter. Here's a couple of pictures of it on the mog.

 

The lift arms on the linkage don't usually pick much up so are a bit bodged. I need to get the proper fork setup on it but for now that will do for light kit. Thought I'd mention it before someone sees it and has kittens thinking I'm going to drop a chipper on someone's bonnet or something! I've got a top link somewhere too!

Hi looks good what sort of money are these machines looking at way of speeding up splittig billets this looks like it could be just the tool.

It cost me about £750 with postage. As you can imagine, getting it here from Germany was expensive as it doesn't fit on a standard 1200 pallet. Only about 200 euro less than the machine itself!

 

It's a big old unit though as you can see. The cone is 18" long and getting on 10" wide at the back! I don't know what they cost new but it wouldn't have been cheap.
