What’s the best processor to make accurate 6 inch logs

[gensetsteve]

Are there better processors out there . We had a Hakki pilki but found anything shorter than 10 inch fell into the splitting chamber on end . We need to process for a kindlet so only have about 20 mm of le way . Thinking maybe Dalen or preferably something with a petrol engine

Something like a posch where the log rolls into the split chamber or the uniforest titan that has a flipper that transfers the log to the chamber.

Any machine that drops the log into the chamber runs the risk of it not landing square with a short log.

I've the same issue with a palax machine.

Theres a brand called duun. I think they lower the cut log on a cradle. May be wrong on that... Its a while since I looked.

We have the same issue and are looking at the japa 305 for this

I like the look of the Farmi 36 with its own petrol engine but not sure how it handles 6 in ch logs

Ah 6" long not diameter.

 

My other reply was re diameter.

 

But again re tipping, does it matter if you are just ringing up?

 

Smallest I do tends to be 7-8" Dont have issues with that & as I said the machine has a catch plate so you can square drop them.

10 inch diameter logs are ok but need to be less than 6 inch to go under the fingers in the kindlet. So the ideal log is 6 inch by 6 inch

But why does it matter if it falls right if you are not splitting it?

This is the exact reason we’re looking at the japa 305 as the wood can be up to 11.5 inch drop in to the chamber and split into 2 or 4 then go through the kindlet ? 
 

as most people are saying anything smaller than 6 inch the knife can be removed and it doesn’t matter how it falls 

it when it falls and your splitting it it’s got to be precise
