Debarking

[Frank]

Sounds a nice piece of kit that!!!

Wonder if I could dream something forwarder based to debark the poles in the wood before extraction

 

now that sounds the way forward.

What I saw was 20 years ago.

 

It was simmilar to this ,http://cgi.ebay.com/CHAIN-SAW-ATTACHMENT-CHAINSAW-TOOL-WOOD-WORKING-PEELER_W0QQitemZ110346711282QQcmdZViewItemQQimsxZ20090204?IMSfp=TL090204171004r37876

 

 

but it had lots of chainsaw chain type cutters set in the revolving drum. It was lethal.

I have used one of these tools and the do work quite well once you get the hang of it.

But I would of thought that a tractor driven post de- barking machine with some sort of feed table would have been a better idea.

They quite happily take the diameter and make nice round gate posts, strainers and fencing posts but I would think you would have to support the ends as it feeds through.

hmm, not sure what the answer is.. might look into hiring in a mobile debarking contractor.. take away all the hassle of it.

Cleaving the bark is a good way to do it but it would take way too long like that for commercial production...

Has anyone ever used one of theese??

I have been looking into getting some log-wizzards sent over from america but I'm not sure how long the nose bearings will last for on the saw with the added vibration.
