changing my processor

[firewoodman]

looking for a change of processor, had a japa and a hakki, so wondered what your thoughts were on other models.

 

i do arb waste, and the nice straight pricey stuff too

 

i also have a 30ton posch too, so even considering getting a saw bench, the only problem i see with that is where to get the blade sharpened/repaired, as our local ones have closed down cos the sawmills have gone.

 

opinions are welcome and encouraged from the dealers on here too

I think the dalen is supposed to be better for arb waste and very good for cord as well. Luckily I think there is now more than one dealer.

thanks steve, i notice you till havent changed your hakki yet (been through old and and new threads)

 

not sure if i want to spend that much on a dalen for so little splitting power, if one thing anoys me more than breakdowns, its the log jambing on the splitting wedge.

 

I think i need atleast 10 ton

Who's the other dealer Steve? I thought Marshalls were the sole agents, I bought the Dalen earlier this year and it's been ok no major teething problems.

I thought there was another dealer for Dalen but perhaps not. I still have my hakki as after the last two years I thought there would be alot of people doing firewood so thought it a bit risky spending 10k plus. It turns out the winter has been mild as well. From what I have seen cord is getting bigger so you need a big machine but big machines make big logs. People want small logs for wood burners. I dont get alot of jams on the splitter I have in the past when the splitter needs sharpening, the belts are not tight enough, the hyd pump is knacked or relief valve blowing off to early. I think my splitter is only 5-6 tonnes. At least 1/2 my wood is too big for any uk processors. My best investment was a upright 13 tonne splitter.

you could do worse than a posch!

Posch top quality machine will last for years if you can afford it today.
