What do you charge to hire processor.

same as my machine. 25t is some going. did u have a crane feeding it?

 

We didn't have a crane only using the small log deck which hooks on the side of the processor when in transport. Although I was loading the deck with a forklift slightly tricky at first. We started the pile at 7.00am and finished at 9.00pm with a couple of breaks throughout the day. A great machine to use.

Fourteen hours! For some people that would be two days work.

That's more like a proper day! Some people class 8 hours as a long day 👍

yes i have that log deck as well. did you hire from Kilworth?

 

also have the swivel conveyor so can fill large trailers or multiple bags without moving anything. I want to make up a large deck out of an old massey trailer, to feed the small deck if that makes sense?!

I would do a 14hr day, but i said 8 hrs as a minimum etc!

Hard to say Simon. We did my truck and trailer (3cube) in an hour today, and that was cross cutting cord wood into 3 bits as well, so i could manually lift onto the intake conveyor. And that was dad on the processor controls who hasnt really used the machine yet so is a bit slow at it. And he hit a nail with so had to swap chains over (ten min job).

 

Being organised makes a huge difference. If all wood is sorted into rough sizes and there is a loader to feed the log deck i reckon i could do 5-7 cube an hour. Its like all things, the more you use it the quicker and more efficient you get etc. I havent got either of my yards organised yet as all wood was delivered when i had the old set up, but now when i bring wood in i will organise things more efficiently

Yes Ben I hired it from Kilworth top class people along with cracking service:thumbup1:. My brother was operating it as he got the hang if it pretty quick and I was loading with the forklift. Think you made a good choose there pal.

yeh i hope so! Kilworth been very good, Andy demo'd it for me and sold it to me that day more or less! Couple of teething problems but takes a while to get use to any new machine.
