Splitter advice.

[Little Butch]

What kind of splitters are out there in the £1500 - £2000 bracket? New or second hand if that would provide a much better machine. Thinking of dipping my toe into the firewood world. 

 

Cheers!

Self propelled or  tractor  hydraulic?

 

[Little Butch]

Sorry, should have stated, self propelled. Preferably something trailer mounted or easily movable.

Ive been using a rock machinery venom 22t the last couple of days which I'm impressed with. 

[jonnygurkha]

I can recommend the Rock 22 tonne venom too. Had mine 6 months and it has certainly paid for itself. Great kit for the money

[TheHungrySquirrel]

The venom ones moveable easily

[Little Butch]

I've actually borrowed the venom 22t to split a load for myself today. Real impressed with it, the 2017 model seems to have a built in table which would be really handy. I'll more than likely purchase one myself.

 

Need to source and split some stuff ready for next winter...

Interested to follow this thread. You seem to get a lot of machine for very little money!

[ash_smith123]

Wallenstein! They are built like a tank and very good value for money

[Little Butch]

I'll look into the wallenstein. I imagine they might be slightly put my budget though?

split a load of pine rings which have been sat there the best part of a year, as well as some nice sycamore. Good to get it cleared up if anything!

 

Struggling with pricing, seems to be so much variation. I don't want to be a busy fool! But I do want to be busy....
