Highest output Firewood processor

[andy26]

What is the largest Firewood processor sold in the UK in terms of output, log diameter and acceptance of uneven timber?

 

And have any been sold?

 

Any idea who has one?

[Chris Sheppard]

I don't know for certain but it's probably something like a Pinosa or maybe a Pezzolato - though they aren't portable.

 

There must have been some sold over here - I think Clearview run something similar

Have a look at the Fuel Factory sold by Fuelwood in Warwick....

the pinossa that was on show but not setup at apf last year on the fuelwood stand had already been sold and was moving direct from apf to its new home at matlock, derbyshire - believe the company is called something like hardwood logs of lea, nr matlock.

at fuelwood demo.. DOES ALL OF THE ABOVE ..i didnt see that,more of the reverse.output on straight sticks would be phenominal, but then so would my bgu 37.

Logs direct near carnforth have a pinosa and do not rate it. They've had load of issues with it and the after sales has been awful apparently.

Binderberg do some big machines. From what I have seen of big machines you need to feed big timber all the time because 404 chains make lots of saw dust which is bad news on little 12" timber. If you process dry beech they tend to smash it to bits. I would think the hakki 42 cm machine is worth a look and half the money.

This looks like the setup I've been looking for...

What sort of output would a Binderberg 520 achieve?

 

Obviously I'll give Landguard a call, but may be a little far for them here in Northants.

That would depend on a diameter of the cord you are putting through it and the length of the logs you are cutting to. The machine seems to handle up to 500mm, thats about as big as most get.

 

If I cut all small diameter timber I only get about half the output per hour that I do cutting 200-300mm stuff.

 

Most tests seem to be done using Silver Birch, that cuts very easily.

 

Landmark look like a contractor, take me 4 hours with a Disco to get up there, (I am also in Northants) take 4 days with that old 4x4 tractor.

That looks painfully slow at the side of this though!
