What's your power source for the splitter, tractor? Electricity? Forklift hydraulics?

Hydraulics off a bobcat or telehandler

Is your splitting area next to a power supply is so seriously consider electric wish I'd purchased a diesel gene and gone down that root. A merchant friend has his whole yard running on electric and he loves it. People can talk and answer the phone.

Yes but only single phase. Would this be slower than hydraulic ?

Had a Riko (Balfor) A11 VTR for 7 years now and have put thousands of tons throught it without issue; brilliant comfortable machine.

 

Ill second that, great splitter and Riko are great to deal with.

To be honest I cant anwer that as the machines I've seen are three phase I no Riko do machines that are dual hydralic and electric.

Thanks for all the help. In the end I went for a Multech. Its a better machine for what I want though the Riko is clearly a better machine if you see what I mean !
