Bed timber processors

[Logrover]

Are these still available for fitting on the back of tractors?, fell the tree by hand crane load it and it spits it out in specific lengths. I did a search and saw logbaron has one.

Yes still available, I was looking for one so will pm you over prices. Were you after stroke system or roller?

 

Which make does Logbaron have?

[Chris Sheppard]

From memory, I think Logbaron's is a Nokka 400 RS, with rollers. Think they're a bit marmite - some people seem to get one well with them and others not so well. I had one on the back of the County briefly and it wasn't great, though was fairly tired on all the pivots and joints.

 

I always fancied a Patu stroke one to replace it but never got round to it and the County went a few years ago.

There was a Nokka on ebay few months ago, I was tempted!

they all have pros and cons,

 

here was LGPEddies stroke Patu, very good delimbing power although the video only shows delimbed poles going through this would be better on things like birch and sweet chestnut coppice

 

here is Logbarons Nokka they had in some larch very fast at processing timber without large brashy limbs but not the delimbing power of the stroke processor, definitely the tool in smaller conifers though

 

 

if your seriously looking into bed processors then a trip to one of the European shows is well worth while as you get a much wider range of kit to look at these are a few I took at elmia last summer

roller processors are 4 times faster than a stroke processor.
