Horizontal splitter or processor ?

[Mortimer Firewood]

I am interested to hear peoples views on big horizontal splitter as i don't know weather to get a big horizontal or a processor.

 

Things like.

 

True output.

 

How much waste do they create when splitting.

 

Are they been used in commercial operations in the uk .

 

Thanks

Mike

Ive been thinking about this for a while ive put up with a splitter but now were doing quite a lot of timber between 160 180 t. I hire a processor in so know what that's capable of. I just want to hear from people that have had 30t + splitters. Thanks:001_smile:

What i am thinking jon is all the big stuff which we can get cheaper can be put through it with a 6 or 8 way knife.

I am hoping to double what we do this year so around 350 t. Its panning out to be a good year all ready and winter has not started yet. I want to start trying to shift softwood next year as ive had a few enquiring about it

Given the costs involved of a processor, and unless you are going to process 1000 ton plus a year, and you have guarented supply of timber that will go said processor. Then it has to be a splitter every time.
