Quicksplitting without Bending or Lifting

[Billhook]

 

 

My wife loves her Aduro 9 Danish woodburner but it only likes 12 inch logs cut quite small.

  The Palax Combi only has a four way static knife so I decided to build a bracket to hold the  Portek Quicksplit on the Matbro Teleporter bucket full of 12 inch logs.  The bracket just slides on so it is easy to put on and remove.  Loading into a crate or barrow means no bending or lifting off the floor.  It has a very quick cycle time and is electric ,  easy to stop and start and is quiet. It cost about £430 over a year ago and has been reliable. I see Portek do a 7 ton model now.  this one is 5 ton but deals with most things.  The last piece I put in was very knotty.

The Palax is perfect for feeding the main woodburner , the Aarrow Stratford which does all the hot water and heating and takes very large logs which last for ages.  But it is in the yard on 3 phase and the Portek is handy to have at the home and my wife is safer operating it than wielding an axe!
