Petrol or PTO splitter?

rowan, we thought the same. we have an old low loader traffic light trailer with a ramp and haul it on with a small handwinch. a boat winch would be easier but we're too tight! It is poss to pull it up the ramp by hand but you dont want to slip over as it's heavy.

Rowan Lee - that's me you are talking about! Yes, I ordered a Thor Kombi 13 ton Magik from my mate Alan in Michael Large's and it is due in mid month. The Italian factory is supplying me with a pneumatic tyred variation of their trolley as small solid wheels are just a non starter with a 365kg item. I will fit a 3rd wheel adaptation with a welded on winch (£17 on e-bay) and hopefully that will be the business when a tractor is not available. My purpose in joining this thread was to introduce the subject of electric power. My preferred process is to split beside the final seasoning location, which invariably means power is close by. I invested in 60 metres of H06 six mm squared cabling some years ago, which provides very reliable and safe power from any ring circuit. Electric power is very efficient, clean, quiet, cheap compared to petrol/diesel and, crucially, can be used under cover. In the case of the Thor 13 ton Magik the speed of the electric version is comparable to the petrol one. I imagine the same would apply to other manufacturers.
