woodbuster

[jamesmerriman7]

Have been thinking for a while now about machine attachments breaking down big timber in order to get through the processor. Got a Doosan DX60R (6t mini excavator machine) and been looking at the LMS/Westech wood-buster. Wanted to know if any of you had seen or used one... They seem more positive than the cone type splitter! M Large are the distributors have a look at the link... feedback appreciated.

cheers guys!

We use an LMS wood-buster but we have it on a 16ton slew. I think you might struggle on a small machine. The actual attachment works very well and was supplied by M Large.

thanks for the reply log-buster! I was recommended the 870 model not sure if that was the LMS or Westech make, 87cm opening with 26 ton of force! Is the wood buster fixed directly to your excavator or do you use a link and rotator where by the log buster hangs...(If you get me!)

The LMS is a lot cheaper than the Westech and is equal to it in every way. We flew to Belfast and looked at both at M Large. Ring Alan there and he will answer any queries you may have. We do use a link and rotator and it just hangs. You do need a heavy duty rotator because there is some serious pressure when you lever and break open the length of timber. We split 3mt lengths of beech anything over 30cm up to 80cm into 4 pieces.

Funny enough I spoke to Alan when I phoned M Large. May have to go on a visit to Belfast!
