Splitting / Cracking Cordwood

[matthew65]

Hi,

 

I have a largish amount of cordwood that I need splitting, I seem to recollect a machine that cracked the cordwood, I could then processes it through my jappa 700. Does anyone have any contacts ? I am based in Nottinghamshire.

 

Thanks

I thought the japa cut and split it for you.

Put woodcracker into google and that should get you a bit of a start - different companies market them as slightly different things but they all seem to be a similar sort of thing.

 

The other one to look at would be a lasco cone type on a digger boom or similar.

Sorry my fault I may not have made it clear I want the cordwood that is in 3m lenghts split, I will then put it through the Jappa as it can't take large diameters. I just want to hire someone to do it.

Would love to help you if you were closer . . .i have a posch 30 ton splitmaster which would see to that. . . Might be worth contacting wilsons, he may have contacts local to you with one or a wood cracker or even a lasco.

 

Cheers,

Hi, I tried Wilsons and unfortunately having spoken to them today I don't think they are able to help. Any other ideas would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

If you had plenty to go at, try Jon at Fencing, Wood Chip, Mulching, East Yorkshire

 

They work all round the UK so might be able to tie it in with something else.

matthew, if you have a tractor available we can hire you man and large 40t log splitter, it hydraulicly loads the large rings onto it for splitting down into billets 3ft approx long pieces at a time really large diametres.

 

if you have something that would lift it off trailer/truck when we deliver the kindling? as then wouldnt need to charge travel, possibly, we charge £250 for man and machine for a full day if you provide tractor it only needs a small tractor with a pto will run off old fordsons or compact type tractor. about 40hp id guess.

to work at max. capacity need another chap to take billets off from themachine and stack or run straight through your jappa from the machine

 

if you want to discuss, give us a ring in evening best to speak to Rohan

thanks
