Rivals to Posch 360

[Wood wasp]

I like with the tafjun that you stand next to the splitter so easier to straighten logs that land awry.

 

That wasn't a cube he filled incidentally, bag wasn't totally full and once that's been moved couple times it'll look even less - anything from 2/3 to 3/4 full would be my guess.

Were charging 130 for a bag so give it a shake and stack it people are amazed at hi long it lasts once we get a customer they usually stay with us.

The tajfun is the quickest processor I have used took a while to get used to it. The log cleaner is a must if putting straight in to bags.

Why did you go for a 360 not a 400?

I found that I was spending a lot of time sharpening chains, bars etc, a lot of maintenance issues as well, oil pump going, blocks etc. I felt Circular blade the way to go and thus far am really pleased with my decision. Will cut out oil costs, fractionally less sawdust waste, cleaner sawdust. Costs of bars and chains will be much the same as circular blade maintenance and eventual replacement.

 

Saying that the 400 is an impressive piece of kit, but I do not think I would ever go back to chains and oil again. Not sure if inhaling chain oil from processors year in year out is such a good thing either (something Wilson s told me about although this was after I had got the Posch).

 

I think it all comes down to want you are comfiest with. Also I found with Tajfun 380, folk helping me even after being told still forced the bar through the wood, affecting the chain, bar, sprocket, drive shaft and drive belt! I think the Posch will be a bit more use friendly.

I did notice there seemed to be no grid in the bottom of the splitting area and visible rubbish was dropping into the bag with every flight on the conveyor.

The whole chamber is slatted and does work but with the log cleaner in place it's really clean wood . The only thing that's annoyed me is that a log can get caught between the elevator and the cleaner and stop the elevator, Kilworth will sort it though.

Any film of the cleaner anywhere or is it the Fuelwood fit most conveyor one ?.

When will the Tajfun 600 finally be out? It would be nice if it was at APF?

Anyone seen one of these? Wondered if they're any good and had made it across the pond, they process upto 24"

 

The unit is a cheap copy of a Canadian Bells processor, plus the video is speeded up to make it look fast.

Another firewood merchant forestry contractor had a demo and the first thing he said was that the saw blades are such a big diameter that they have to be really thick. When your doing big diameter timber that's a lot of wood to loose. The other thing he noticed is that as we do short logs they never land properly in the splitting chamber. The other obvious one is cost it's a lot of money to get back.

 

That is a problem with the short logs that we require in the UK, but if a log table is fitted to the processor this prevents the cut ring from falling into the splitting chamber at an angle as the saw cuts through the log. Once the full cut is made the table pulls back quickly dropping the ring into the chamber with a slight spin and level, this helps prevent hang ups in the chamber that you get with big wood.
