firewood processor wanted

[gensetsteve]

I would think long and hard before I bought another processor but I would buy a decent splitter in a flash. Cord is getting bigger and not only do you need a larger processor you need a log deck and something to load it.

cant afford new one, 1st one so not to expensive! you know of one? cheers

 

If i was you i'd try and stretch to a new Hakki pilke eagle @ about £1,500+vat for the pto version as second hand one's are doing £1,200-£1,300 on ebay.

I have a chainsaw processor, get on fine as long as wood is clean, if not the chain blunts quite quickly, but the chainsaw is a lot quieter than the circular apparently from what i am told.

Personally I prefer a chainsaw type, especially if a lot of your timber is going to be up to the max diameter of the machine and/or wiggly. Yes, there's the sharpenign of the chain and the fact it needs oil (whether a separate tank or it uses the hydraulic oil) but from my experiences I just found I got on with the chainsaw ones better.

 

The circular saw type ones cut very well on smaller timber but have the habit of getting a bit of wap on when they get warm and (as above) are also generally a bit noiser.

 

Also, a lot of the smaller chainsaw type ones run husky small bar mount bars, which suited me as I could swap bars from felling saw to the processor when it was getting a bit worn.

The chainsaw bar can be a bit of a pain to sharpen,but you can always swap the loop over very quickly on the day and sharpen a spare or two at your leisure - you need to be double jointed with five foot arms to sharpen my Farmi insitu!
