I would like to see what is inside this !

Yep, google "Urban TR 70" and you should find the importer. They do a 70mm and 110 version and it bags it for you.

 

There's a thread on here somewhere "TR70 branch logger at APF" or something similar.

 

Cheers , very helpful, seems they only make one for a tractor

They did (might still) do a petrol one - SM70.

 

There is another importer bringing in soem others made by a company called Rojek, or something like it. All I can remember is they were yellow and green and it was something like 90mm capacity.

There are various versions of the branch logger. Welmac UK Ltd: Urban Branch Loggers

seems effective, but would be even better if it cut slightly longer logs

Mental it's kinda reminds me of a belt feed machine gun

i was looking at these on youtube the other day and was gonna ask why they aren't so popular in gb they seem to be very popular in eastern europe what type of boilers are they using that they can use short sticks

Ive got the welmac 110 that cuts up to 4 inch diameter,thats all im using on my woodburner.When I attack a whole tree,i cut the saleable firewood out and then put the small stuff through the branch logger for my own fuel. Im also starting to sell bags of the logettes slowly,the old hippy types like the principle of no waste.

I think it's some sort of gassifying boiler from what I read somewhere.

 

I managed to persuade the bloke from Welmac to let me take a bag of branch loggings so I could see how they burned and show them to potential buyers. Never got as far as showing them to anyone but did try burning them.

 

My thoughts were that rather than thinking of it as tiny logs, think of it as something like coal and use the coal scuttle to load the fire. Burnt really quite well too.

 

Reckon half of the trouble is getting people to try it in the first place.

its a 4 bladed pair of wheels that spin in counter rotation

think big chipper. and i want one... all those 3in branches just begging to bed turned into smaller logs but are just too much ball ache to do another way.

[forestgough]

You tend to find about half the fuel is thrown on by hand like normal logs,then the rest is shovelled or scuttled on.
