Mobile log splitting, central Lancashire.

[bobb d]

I have a mobile hydraulic log spliter mounted to a trailer which is powered off my landrover and up to now I use it for my own needs but the more people that see it in action say I should do it for other people, so I was wondering if anyone has had any experience in this sort of venture. It is a powerful unit and has not refused anything I have thrown at it. Approx 12 ton pressure according to my hydraulic specialist who piped it up for me. It has a nice ram speed so I can plough through a fair quantity of wood quickly and with it being mounted on a trailer I can saw up downed timber and split it in the field and move it to wherever. just wondering what you guys thought.

 

Many thanks, Bob

Tried it this year using my small 4 ton splitter.Had a few enquiries which lead to a handful of jobs,found rich people with no time to do it were the main enquirers,failing that it was the older generation who wanted the log fire but couldn't split or stack there own wood.

Had one young lad ring up,He explained how he had bough his log burner fancy new stihl maul and every other goody in site,took two hours before he gave in and realized how hard work it can be haha.

He was very greatful for my services that day bless him

 

Marketed to the correct audience in a large enough area and it should pay Amigo

Many thanks for the reply, the local council sell rounds mixed with some bad pieces that would drive the unequiped person to insanity trying to splitting them so I was thinking along those lines but rich people with no time on there hands sounds good.

 

Thanks again, Bob

No problem bob.Hey only noticed your only up road from us,I'm in sunny barrow in furness.how's snow up your end?

If anything goes in your splitter let me know my mates family own yarl hydraulics I'll see what price they can get you on parts

[bobb d]

Snow has not been bad its the freezing temp at night that is causing problems. Thanks for the offer on the parts much appreciated.

I went to see a guy who has just started to sell logs and he has a huge pile of mixed stuff so I offered to split for him in exchange for wood, he likes the splitter system I have made up, he has a chainsaw and a axe with a big lump of steel welded to it for extra impact!!!!!!, he said he will use us once his other work picks up and he cant cope. Not a bad start.
