Overall averaging about 2 cu m an hour with a JAPA 700, includes set up and clear up time. One man. load scaffold rack with teleporter, switch forks to a bucket and convey into bucket. Assorted sized timber from 3 inch to around 12 inch. Big stuff is a pain as the splitter is only 4 way so the big lumps have to go through again.

 

Timber grab on a 3 point linkage would be helpfull, something to grow into.

 

It might be small but its easier than an axe or an old sawbench !!.

Our machine is rated 12" but anything over 9" is a faff so we dice with chainsaw and use a very fast vertical splitter with auto return and two speed pump. I have never been completely convinced on the whole processor thing. Two good men with a good hyd splitter can turn out some serious wood without to much maintenance or initial cost.

HI steve what make of splitter do you use mate thank jon

 

Sheppach ox 3 or something like that about 9 tonne with fast cycle time

i just leave cover up on mine.. mine still works... i bought mine 2nd hand so someone might of taken a sensor off somewhere..

 

If that is against the manufacturers operating guidlines and an accident occurs leading to personal injury it could prove interesting with the HSE and the ambulance chasing lawyers. Hope your insurance cover is good and it comes with free legal.

 

With hydraulics and saws maybe safety is more important than speed?

if your stupid enough to put your hands in the splitting area while its workin then you shouldnt be anywhere near anything mechanical in first place..
