Anyone used one of these?

I was planning on looking at a saw bench at the apf for all the small cord that we have got that doesn't require splitting..

[Stephen Blair]

Jeez that's slow! You'd be trying to crane feed it mate!

[Tom D]

I was thinking its way quicker than a standard circular saw as the operator is off getting the next piece while the first one is being cut. I'd like to see it take knotty bendy stuff though.

 

I have got a big stack of 3-5" cord, maybe 50 ton.

Dont think the machine was slow just bad positioning . The operator should not be walking to and fro . Also some of the film was in slo mo .

How nice it would be if machinery made absoloutely no noise and you had your own pianist on tap, tinkling away amongst the birches!

I can only assume by his ear defenders that he is not a fan of whimsical instrumentals?

I like it, would like to see a self powered version, we get left loads of scattered small stacks of short cord up to 5" that are too slow to process with bigger machine and a headache to forward, have been looking at branch logger but the chunks a bit too small

I love the bit when the put the GoPro through

With some of the processors like the Hakki Pilke you can remove the knife and just use it as a circular saw, whit my posch however there is a reinforcing bar behind the knife so it can't be used without. This things probably too expensive for me to justify but it does look handy for all those 4" bits from all the pruning that we do.

Is there any way to modify your processor to make the splitting knife detatchable? It would save you an awful lot of money. That machine in the video looks like a very nice but very expensive and not indispensible luxury.

Probably not quite as well as the posch but saw one of these working at fuelwood open day, not bad but jammed up a couple of times but that could of been operator error.
