Hi Jon)mike how many a year would have to make it pay thanks Jon

 

To purchase that machine you would need to be doing 1200 ton a year

 

This IMO is not a stand alone machine it's just for doing oversize you would be twice as long doing small stuff. Big splitter and rotary saw would be more suitable I think.

 

Why the opp just doesn't get a 360 and sort the load out is beyond me anything over 400mm gets cut into rings and through a good vertical splitter. We did 150 t of over size last year and this year will be 225 ton of oversize. It's not me that's standing at the splitter for days on end though.

Would breaking it down on to processor size on a large horizontal splitter not be better??

I've had this debate before and we tried it and you end up with logs that are over size and kindling. We charge a lot for our firewood so it's got to be high quality IE dry and quite uniform.

 

Processor knives are designed to break round bits down not wedges best to have processor eating cord and a good bloke on splitter. You would be amazed at what we can do in a 10 hour day
