Petrol circular saw

[Ukulian]

What size diameter timber can they cut? They are half the price of a Riko! Wonder about the build quality...

 

250mm, that's 10" in old money

I have owned a self powered HakkiPilke Eagle for some years in addition to a Thor electric splitter to process logs for personal use. It is run by a Honda GX160 5.5HP petrol engine, which turns a 700mm saw at one end of the shaft and a 100mm auger at the other. While it is advertised as capable of processing 270mm diameter wood I don't bother trying anything bigger than 200mm max. It is extremely efficient and capable of considerable throughput for many hours of continuous use. I consider the auger to be quicker than a hydraulic splitter but it doesn't like knotty wood. Saw benches and augers require extreme respect and in my view have greater potential for injury compared to using a chainsaw with a log horse and a hydraulic splitter.

Got any pics of your setup please

Don't know how to put up pictures on this site - I have just joined! Check out Gumtree NI, where I have it advertised, although I am having second thoughts about getting rid of it due to it's efficiency and agility (I put a set of wheels on it, which transformed its usefulness). It's just that the nature of throughput I now process limits its use to about 20% of my work and I was thinking about putting the money towards an old tractor. Hakki Pilke now only make PTO and 3phase electric versions so my model is now becoming rarer. Hakki Pilke has left a You Tube video demonstrating my version, despite the fact it is discontinued in th EU.

Some are only 9hp others are 13, does the £609 include delivery?

 

Do you have to pay an import tax ?

Shouldn't be any import tax from Germany or any other EU country.

Twin blade looks a good bit of kit.
