POSCH 350 'v' POSCH 360 - SPEED

[briquette_seller]

I personally think Posch is massively over priced for what it is. The machine have pretty small cutting diameters for the money.

Just my opinion.

Most older tractors ( Ford + MF at least) tend to have a pull out engine stop, tie a rope to it. Not immediate blade stop but pretty fast.

In this day and age with the firm in question suppose to be at the cutting edge and you need a rope to stop it how can this be right?

Good to hear differing views.

 

What machine do you use and if you went for an upgrade from your present machine, what would you choose and why? Thanks

I run a Hakki Pilke 1x42.

Had it for three years, and do between 600-800 tonnes a year.

In all that time, the only thing that has gone wrong, recently, is a valve stuck, that's it.

I have never had any problems at all with the machine, and is still as good as the day I bought it.

 

If I were to upgrade, I would buy the 1x50, bigger cut, and the bigger the better in my opinion for hardwoods.

 

I cant rate this machine high enough.

 

I also have a Posch tilting saw, and its always got wee niggles, bits breaking off, bits bending or twisting. Pretty flimsy.

Same with the Posch Packfix, its not the machine I thought.

Again, pretty flimsy and expensive for parts.

That's a lot of processing!

 

I agree, the packfix is not robust for the industry it was designed for.

Also when you factor in the machine cost, the time element, specific pallet size requirement and netting cost the whole system is very expensive compared with containerised alternative. Everything can look different in hindsight of course.

Palax now have a lever that disengages the belt drive if you get a log stuck, it only takes a split second to operate so saves 99% of the wear on your belts if you do have a problem!

Its about 6k for a new Packfix.

The net is around £80 to £100ex vat.

 

A pack works out at approx £2s worth of net wrap, plus the price of a decent pallet.
