Looking for a firewood processor

[andyp12345]

hi im in the market for a second hand processor in good working condition. i have around 3-4k inc to spend was looking at jappa 700 please can anyone help with this

[Steve Bullman]

not sure if this is still available japa 400 processor ArbTrader

i would expect you to be able to get a used japa 700 in pretty good nick for £3-4k. my japa 700 is i think nearly 15 years old now, owned by me for 3 years, i would suggest if you're producing <250cm per year this machine would be fine for you. i run mine with two men, one on processor and other on stand alone splitter easily producing 2 cube per hour. have the right timber to process and i would think the rate would double.

i would bite their hand off..., i've not even had to tension the belts on mine yet! (i do keep checking them!)

thanks, all bought in timber in reasonably straight cords so by what your saying sounds a good buy. regards andy

[Chris Gagen]

I would talk to fuelwood first and get a new price first. i was talking to them at apf last year and the machine on the stand was 5k + vat.

Fuelwood have a couple S/H for the £4.5k + vat mark

Looking at the vid, you are pushing a fair old lump in every time compared to just pulling a chainsaw bar down.

I think i prefer the 1x37 hakki pilki or our 2x . I dont think I could loose the powered in feed conveyor especially with 3m metre 300mm stuff.
