Mobile processor

[bobyrik]

Im needing a processor and was thinking about a mobile towable one -maybe get extra work? The two i had in mind was the Farmi WP36 /30 or the Palax Active. Does anyone have any info, good points about either of them?

Processing speed, servicabilty , pros and cons etc.

Cheers

we had the wp36 on demo and I was quite impressed, it seemed to punch well above its weight especially the splitter.

Hello bobyrik

 

We work a Farmi WP36 on the back of tractor, we tried a demo of a towable one first with independent Honda engine. It worked really well but it was noisier than tractor & often needed topping up with petrol if using it for a long time.

Like Tommy said, it definitely punches above its weight for the money.

I suppose the benefit of a towable one is you could travel further with it. We never intended going far so tractor option best for us.

Try RIKO. we got a demo through them from their local distributor.

On a good run with straight wood roughly how many cube can you split in a full day with this ?

choppin to about 10inch long with straight soft wood, self loading = about 2m3/hour.

a 27tonne artic load in 2 days with a tractor & trailer taking it away/swapping trailers

Some guys claim they do a lot more but I'd like to see it & see how knackered they are afterwards

Just hired one in with an operator, I supplied telehandler and me and a mate as labour - worked for 7.5 hours. Managed 30m3 (stacked into stillages not loose) cutting 6" to 12" larch in 40 cm lengths and 6 m3 to 20cm lengths. Got to say I was really impressed with the machine !
