stroke delimber/processor

Anyone know the whereabouts of an old beaten up stroke delimber/processor that needs a refurbishment and a new home?

Try and get a nokka 400 lot better than the stroke delimbers.

Thanks for that Ross, do you have one? What are they like on birch?

I've just bought one. Don't think it will be too good on hardwoods. I bought mine for softwoods.

I understand that the stroke ones are better on hardwood and bent trees!

Can anyone confirm that

Stroke do work better on bendy hardwoods. Birch is good as you normally get a good few lengths out before any branching. If the branching is too bad just let the hand cutter deal with it.

Thanks for that, all I have to do now is find one!

Unless there is one for hire in the North of England/South Scotland

I must say I was anticipating an answer of Roofmount Valtra but I like your thinking with that setup?

 

We got on ok with mine once we'd got setup, but it just doesn't quite workout with an Excavator loading it and tractor running it for us. Your dumper idea should be better and a single operator much more efficient.

 

We found it took some fair size gear no issues and it's actual pulling power was awesome. With regard to twisty stuff, you wouldn't believe the difference from the beginning of our project to the end in terms of what we could get through and it was all down to the operator gaining experience.
