the new fuelwood splitta - could be ideal for tree work rings

[Joy Yeomans]

just viewed the new fuelwood splitta, i think its called the splitta 400, looks ideal for tree surgeons etc, takes really big oversize rings, and can fil a cubic metre bag in 4 minutes. looks really impressive to split those rings off jobs quick and easily to turn into a decent bag of firewood with low manual input.

I rate Fuelwood products, have never owned any, but may be biased as I know Richard from 30 years back.

 

Having just had a day assisting section felling a wych elm of coppice origin and previously worked at a tree station I don't think any one machine will do the job. The climber basically chogs off the biggest section he can handle so you have 150mm diameter stuff of 700mm long down to 400mm chogs 150 mm long. Smaller stuff going through the chipper. Also many larger chogs arrive with a "handle" from a small side branch. Even my co ground worker couldn't be persuaded to trim them and make them more uniform, the core business is to get in, finish and get out. I would normally have to worry about converting the log wood later but in this instance it was a large site so I got security to announce the availability of logs, all disappeared by 16:30.

 

Which was a relief for me as I took the opportunity to roll over the weighbrige on the way home and grossed 7290kg with chip alone, so about 1640kg of chip after allowing for tare, chipper, kit and men. I'm guessing there would have been the same amount, or more, of logwood.

 

Has anyone recorded the ratio of chip to logs coming into the yard?

very nice machine

 

i think i'll have a look at the APF, but would love to see someone start supplying Tempest splitters over here
