Splitter demo

[Charles Hey Arborist]

Been trying to buy a splitter, but don't have much experience with various types. Any companies that will give a good demo, or rent one out for a week or something?

Probably run off tractor hydraulics.

 

Thanks

What sort of quality are you looking for?.

 

Do a search of the forum using the word splitter, use the search box on the right hand side about a quarter of the way down the page.

 

Personally I would narrow the search down then ask the suppliers who has one local to you, then talk to them. Dealers doing demos usually pick perfect timber for the demo such as Ash and Silver Birch. When I bought a processor I found Fuelwood only to happy to set one up and demo it for me, fair way for you to travel though.

Thanks.

Yeah I've had a good search. But not keen spending thousands on a bit of kit without having a good go.

 

I like the look of Thor, the 13 magic would probably do me lovely, but can't have a hydraulic option only petrol powered or PTO. Friend has a hey rack. Be nice to have something a bit faster and more portable.

 

I have contacted a few dealers but not much luck re getting to try before you buy!

Hi Charlie,

We bought a firewood processor through Alpine Tractors via a local distributor & got a demo machine for a few days before buying. See if they have any distributors local to you.

What exactly are you looking for? Simply a log splitter? Or a processor? You can pick up brand new 11 tonne plain log splitters for a tractor for near as damn it £500 these days.

Wallenstein are excellent log splitters
