Cone splitter Or Hydraulic Log Cracker??

[County 764]

How are you getting on with the cracker?

 

Hi

 

The cracker works quite well in oak, beech & sycamore was struggling quite a bit with Elm and twisty field Maple but that was expected.

 

Getting processor sized hardwood is almost impossible in this area so the cracker has its place but most of the stuff will still need to be cross cut and split manually.

seems Willie Laing hires his 890 out with a wood cracker.

I'm gonna hire a cone splitter for a week and put it on a 7.5 tonner to see how well it works.

I've some well seasoned big Elms, so it'll be interesting to see how she gets on.

Ye think its a binderberger. No idea what it costs to hire but its hard enough to make a profit on O/S stuff.

Must be in the region £55/h plus low-loader perhaps more?

It'll probably be better on the knotted stuff let me know how it works out. Are you getting it of approved hydraulics?

I've got a cone splitter coming out from approved hydraulics in sept for the week on hire for job in Henley just to down size stuff to fit into a 12 inch bandit, more of a trial really.

 

I'll let you know what it's like after I've had a play, it's half the price of a lasco so I've got an open mind on it
