personally i think its great, but yes very limited.

 

in my case, we have 25acres of woodland which has been unmanaged for years so there is little quality in there and the timber that is needing thinned is quite thin itself. some of it is too small for the processor, and we dont have a chipper, but we do have a woodfuel heating system.

 

if i bought this, all my little brash piles could get used as fuel, and i wouldnt have to worry about getting a chipper and a means to burn chip.

 

ok so theres still a few issues regarding H&S and also the maintenance/life expectancy of the machine but if it does have CE marking i may look at getting one.

 

i would question the marketability of the product it produces - people want to see 'logs' on their fire (and gifts on the tree as cliff says) but in a situation like mine it fills a gap.

Could be used for converting hedgelaying brash read for charcoaling, if you did the charcoal in small drums like I do, would save burning up brash and add value to the job, in reality I'd probably end up with a big stack of bags of tiny logs and never get round to charcoaling it :001_cool:

Great little tool and quite cheap. From my point of view it produces exactly the chunky type of fuel required to feed into a gasifier. Safety wise it reminded me of a chuck and duck chipper because the rate of infeed is so quick. The upside being that you could get an awful lot of production done in a day. The downside was the maximum branch thickness of 60mm which might prove restrictive on coppice work.
