Riko WP36 production rate

[mendiplogs]

I could do around an artic load in two days with ours 10 inch logs loading with a forklift not a constant though.

 

Hi mark you may have faster kit there mark what size will yours split thanks Jon

Output will depend on the log length you are cutting. Shorter log = slower production rate.

 

I do 1 cube an hour overall with my smaller machine cutting at 240mm but this includes half an hour setting up and an hour clearing up afterwards.

If its straight softwood in 3m lengths of good size i can get around 4\5 cubic metres an hour done with my WP36 and a manual log deck

We have a WP36 that we hire with an operator...hard to judge output as it depends on the loading speed, length, and obviously the bigger diameter...the more wood! We've never had a complaint, with customers astounded with how quick it is....with bookings for next year already...The log lift is great....lifts much bigger than what you think it can. On one job I was there for a week with 3 helpers that the guy had....you should have seen what we cleared!!!!! Tea breaks were a god send!!! Just a small amount of the wood!!!!

As people have said, the big variable is the cordwood you are processing. At its best, with 12'' diameter 4m lengths of Birch, I can fill a cubic metre bag in 12 minutes. Where I lose time is putting polythene tops on each bag, moving them round the yard, setting up new pallets and bags etc. If you can process into a pile, a grain trailer or similar, that makes a big difference to output.

Working on my own, with 2.5 to 3m cord,Ash, Oak mix of varying diameters I ususally manage about 15 bags, all packed and stacked, saw sharpened for next use and yard tidy. That's with tea breaks, phone calls and all the other usual distractions that stop me doing what I intended to do!
