Looks a good bit of kit

Philmypower, may I ask where you bought that there splitter?

[Knotty ash]

What size of splitter is it and what's the make? Looks decent size

[Alycidon]

Heres some of mine, just running up before delivery with the old yard tractor ! 6 cylinders are much better than 4 don't you think ?

 

Intersting thread, just a word of advise, if you want splitting power, don't buy machines powered from the tractors hydraulics:thumbdown:, pay the little bit extra for PTO then any old tractor will make it do a proper job, as my late 40's tractor is proving here, if it's a decent splitter it's likely to out last you so might as well have a proper job.:

 

My input for whats it's worth, probably not a great deal ?

 

 

Thats what I call a tractor, learnt to drive a similar 4 cyl Petrol/TVO when I was not really big enough to crank it over if it stopped.

Sorry for the late reply. I bought the splitter from KTM Machinery. Came built on a pallet ready to go for 2k. Really happy with it so far, has split everything I've thrown at it. I've been smashing through 3 rings at a time no probs. the machine is diesel and has a rev adjuster the lowest setting is fine for me as I can't keep up with it if I sack the revs up, but I imagine that would be good if you had a second person.

It's 26tonne

Great Thanks

 

Just put an enquiry into them to see if they will do me a deal on one of them?

Was also looking at the Rock Venom which is on Ebay at the moment i think it has a splitting power of 22 tonne anyway they are based in Scotland and was going to get them down to yard to what their machine could do before i buy
