Hi everyone,

 

I'm after a bit of advice. 

 

I have a Posch autosplit which converts log rings into lovely regular firewood. I'm looking for a way to transport rings from a very big heap to the machine (could be up to 100yds).

 

We currently fill potato bins with rings and transport them that way, but it is a bit hard on the arms.

 

I was thinking about a big bucket on a tractor foreloader or Avant.

 

Does anyone know what happens when you drive a big bucket into a pile of rings? Is it effective with the right bucket or is it a non-starter?

 

Many thanks, TVI

At the risk of stating the bleedin obvious,  why not use your nice forwarder to move the timber to where you want before you cut it up?

It's a good question.

 

We do the ringing up in big batches and end up covering a sizable area with rings. I want to be able to bring 'batches' of rings right up to the infeed of the autosplit.

 

The machine itself isn't straightforward to move so I want to avoid consistently shunting it along to meet the edge of the ring pile.

 

Hope that makes sense!
