Hakki Pilkie 1 x 42 problem

[firewood]

for that sort of volume you want to be looking at something like a Pinosa I reckon, more of a firewood factory than a typical processor.

 

 

fantastic avatar:lol:

 

i need to get a bumper sticker made up of that.

The 1x-42 is a very different machine from the 1x-37. Belt life on IX-37 can be improved by keeping chains sharp and regularly retensioning the belts. Early machines had aluminium pulleys which wear quickly and then devour belts. Current machines use steel pulleys, and older machines can be retrofitted with these. Best belt are Mitsuboshi AX38 from the gearbox.

Cheers firewood

 

yes i have a feed table we load with a jcb 526s and log grab or mustang 2044 and forks depending what is in the yard. We rotate chains every day and we also grease every morning with out fail . The belts that have broke are the three that drive the chain saw its self .

looked at a repossessed Bindenberger looked like it had not done much but by the time i made my mind up it was sold. I like the Hakki Pilkie cause M Large are only 80 so miles away and give a really good service . What about the fuel wood firewood factory ????? any views:confused1:

 

 

If I was looking around for a much bigger capacity machine i would also look stateside.

 

I know there may be issues with CE compliance (if you employ staff to run the machine) and there may be import duties etc but take a look at these badboys..... especially the "rapid loco" a snip at $65k

cheers old hand. will give them a go.

 

 

do you know if the chainsaw belt has to be toothed. what is the reason for the toothed belt anyway? grip?

Usually a toothed belt is used on small diameter pulleys, as a solid belt deforms more round a small pulley and reduces the amount of belt in contact with the pulley - creating less grip so increasing the amount of slip/generating more heat

I dont push that sort of volume through our 2x but have fitted gates belts about 3 years ago and still going strong and they dont stretch after the initial 50 hrs. You may need to think about less grease if you over grease bearings they over heat. I am really bad for not greaseing more of a every few months job but cant remember the last bearing I lost on anything around the yard.
