1m length horizontal splitters?

[name_mike]

I'm looking at getting a large splitter to make 1m long billets. I'm currently thinking of getting a posch splitmaster. Has anyone any experience of this or other machines?

It's either a posch split master or bindenberger Giant the latter been the best but hugely expensive there is a used 40 t wood line on ebay that's hardly been used for 5 k

We are going for a splitmaster, been to jas p wilsons to try their demo, impressed with it. Well worth giving simon a call, he may know of s/h ones coming up

We bought a 22t thor vertical for billets, it'll take 1.2 metre lengths and has performed well so far. We went for the optional winch which was a bit of a waste of money as its too weak to really save your back

I'm looking for a splitter for Billets at the moment aswell, has to be self powered though as I don't have the luxury of either elecricity or a tractor! I was thinking Posch but I'm open to suggestions, cycle time is most important to me as I work fast and dont have time to be waiting while the splitter head fights its way through the log or creeps its way back up!!

We have a rebaud 17t with a top winch at mo, too slow and only do a two way splitter, so always multi handling large butts. Used winch once to try, waste of time. Trading in for palax processor and splitmaster.

We still have our 2.2m 40t splitter which we never use, if someone wants to make split billets then make a sensible offer (emphasis on sensible) and we might be able to do a deal. Has its own pump and tank

Hi, what make, age and price you looking for?

Thanks

Riko have a very nice vertical 1.2m splitter, looks the business. I think its a Uniforest. That's my next purchase, if Santa doesn't deliver.....

It's a Balfor and apologies, I said 40t but it's actually 30t. From memory it's a 2011 model so 3 year old, would need in region of £6,500 for it.
