Post peelers

[axehaircut]

Any advice on small production post peelers/debarkers? I need a machine that can peel from very small diameter posts (2'') to bigger ones (8-9''). It'd need to be run off the PTO.

Neuhauser rk1, osbournes sell them. I've got one, it's a bit sturdier than the posch one we've got. Cundey are good, they've got a pto peeler out now, built to last, but not the easiest firm to deal with.

Thanks Toby, I was looking down the lines of a Posch machine but I'll check out the Neuhauser. Did you have any particular issues with the Posch Machine or is it just the general build of the machines?

Toby who distributes the Neuhauser? Very hard to get info on it. Thanks for the help again.

Think its this one: A T Osborne Limited - Neuhauser Peeler/Pointer

 

I'd be interested to know what it costs -the website doesn't say...

Thanks, I left a message with them and will post as soon as I get more info.

I'm not sure if a Cundey will do the range you require but there's one for sale here;

We decided to get the Neuhauser, after looking at all the options, because they just look well thought out. The metal is thicker than the posch, the frame is very solid and stable, the bearings all have grease nipples, it has a fall away table on the sawbench, self centering for the sawblade. And it's red.

I made up a blanking plate so I can use it for dressing cleft chestnut products. With 2 bolts it comes out and I can peel roundwood again. It's also very easy to change from peeling large poles to small ones.

 

Theres a video on You Tube of someone using one at wilderness wood.[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xatQFtADeXo]Making Fence Posts - YouTube[/ame]
