Hardwood needs processing

[Bri]

Looking for someone to come to yard to process around 25t of hardwood its biggish stuff and doesn't go through my processor,it's tapered some of it 7"inch diameter one end and 10 -17" other end about 80% is that. the other lengths slightly bigger around 20" to 30" some with bends about 25% of it the rest straighter well seasoned be stood over 18 -24month . Wanting it doing by end of month County Durham area will be more to do as well if done properly.

Hi sounds like you would be better off getting someone with a big splitter to make it into billets as you have a processor.You can cut out bends and trim butts up and get some nice material this way then it will fly through a processor.If you wern t so far away I would offer to do it for you,

Cheers Chris if I can get somebody with a splitter and grab that would be good thanks for the idea much appreciated

[Bri]

To be honest Chris I've probably over egged it 70-80% is not that bad for bends so shouldn't be to bad like you say split and billet or if anyone wants to ring up into 8 to 10" lengths or what are these cone splitters like

Kind regards bri

hi bri,

 

I'd love to help out but we're just starting a summer of felling and extracting so all men and machines are busy until next winter.

i'll rack my brains to think of anyone else up your way

If I had a bigger processor it would probably do 60% of it a binderberger 520 did some for me last year cheers tommy

You could try Peter Stenner of the Woodfuel Barn at High Spen. He has a towable Binderberger and processed some oversize for me last November.
