Is that how many bags i would get out of 500 ton?

 

I normally work on about 80- 100 bags depends if you reject the scruffy bits with knots. bags 50x40 weigh about 4kg

Thanks for that advice, so you think fuelwood is the best on the market..

 

I have only seen the posch machine work for a few minutes but from what I saw if it jams you have to keep going till it clears. We have never found a good market for scruffy randomly packed bags so we would waste alot of product. I like the fuel wood machine its built like a brick privvy and you can see whats going on. You get a big knot you stop the machine lift cover and chuck one little piece away. I would hire a machine in for a week and see if you can spare the time away from your main activity. Its twice as much work as bagged logs and there is not twice the money in it.

I used to work at a yard when I was a lad and the home made stick chopping machine that replaced us using hatchets was powered by a Petter single cylinder diesel. We used to cut poles from the telecoms yard into slices and push them down a trough and the blade which was like a X cast in ductile iron at the local foundry did a sterling job of splitting them down, they dropped into a bag at the end and were tied off and another bag put in. 50 years later I still like to cut sticks with a hatchet as a sort of therapy, did five orange log bags yesterday with the dear wife picking and packing them. 500 ton would take some getting through
