Thanks Steve,

 

Allways nice to have confirmation I got a good deal:001_smile:

[Steve Bullman]

well put it this way....my machine cost me £4600 5 years ago, and a guy from the factory that makes them told me at the apf that i could sell it for that now.

Not bad when you can get your money back after 5 years use, its all down to the euro:thumbdown:If I had gone for a new it would be 8k, its only for my own use and a few to sell I have 15 acre of woodland to go at.

 

Cheers John.

We paid about £4,000 for our Hakki earlier this year. Think it's a couple or three years old.

 

Wouldn't swap it for anything. Had a couple of breakdowns, but it's a straight forward machine and easy to repair. Has produced over 100 tonnes of logs since we got it.

do you keep those guards on all the time?

[Arran Woodfuels]

do you keep those guards on all the time?

 

Yes, actually.

 

We do all the HSE stuff, risk assessments, toolbox talks, guards, PPE, signage, etc. Wouldn't like anything to happen, only to find out that the insurance is invalidated or that someone got hurt unnecessary.

Good to know it's rellable and easy to fix, yours looks a bit newer than mine with extra gaurds,prices have gone up cos of the euro:thumbdown: have you made your own log table?

[Arran Woodfuels]

have you made your own log table?

 

Yes, our old (MOT failure) LDV tipper. Tractor on left has 3-pt linkage crane and timber trailer, fetches timber, lifts timber onto lorry, processor operator rolls timber across onto machine and logs dropped off conveyor onto delivery truck. Low-cost set-up with high output log production.

Do you have a setup for Tree Surgery waste.
