Posch 360 processor - is there anything better?

[skyhuck]

I've just bought a used 350 off Wilson's, so far pretty impressed

 

Logs are only a sideline so could not really justify a new machine, also got a splitmaster 30 for the big stuff and billets.

 

Hi sky I thought you bought a large horizontal splitter thanks John

 

Jon, the splitmaster 30 IS a large horizontal splitter.

hi you can cut 8 to 10 inch logs with a havester mine will fill the trailer in no time but i find it is better to cut them with a processor

Jon, the splitmaster 30 IS a large horizontal splitter.

 

How do you find the split master do you have you seen other horizontal splitters you can compare it to.

I've not long bought a 1x42 with log deck and haven't got round to using it yet. How do you find yours? anything to keep an eye on?

 

The pervious machine was a Tajfun 380 which was a good machine for the money main downside was the chain running all the time.

 

Brilliant machine, you wont be disappointed.

 

I will pm you later

Nice work.

 

How many tonnes can you fell in a day before changing/sharpening the chain?

hi dont know about tons do about 30 cube a day but dont realy know how to use it corectly chains dont last very long either because of plenty granite in the forest were i work

Hi, yes and seen it done

Wouldn't of thoughts it's very cost effective?

[R5log]

Probably not, but over a day, they will do just as many cuts as a processor, as the overall throughput is probably 10 or 20 times greater.

 

 

 

If your throwing a chain away every 10 to 20 tonnes, your not a good operator, and something is far wrong.

 

 

Do you know what your right, I'm a **** operator, haven't got a clue on firewood and you are the best

I good mate of mine ran a Duun 420, .404 chain and was achieving the same sort of throughput per chain/chain sharpen.

 

Harvesters run these very chains.

How many harvesters stop every 10-20 tonnes for a chain change?

 

Do harvesters cut 8-10 inch logs?

 

Can get a good 500+ m3 to a chain sharpen in good conditions; 1500 cuts a day... (in 10' bars)

The time is approaching to change the processor - no issues just not keen to have the main machine older than 3 years.

 

TCT circular blades have been excellent - Practically zero maintenance just swap blade every 200 tonne of throughput.

 

I must say maintaining a bar and chain processor is not an attractive thought.

 

Wilsons Machinery always seem to give you a great deal when you trade in for a new machine and their after sales has always been faultless in my opinion.

 

I am inclined to stay with a Posch unless anyone thinks a change of machine make would be worthy of serious consideration.

 

Any opinions would be much appreciated.

 

These are quite nice:001_smile:
