go as powerful as your budget will stretch too, we have had the 30t stuck and had to cut logs off it, if could afford it I'd go 50t+but we do split some very ugly wood.

Hi Chris sorry but youre not going to get much of a machine for that money ,unless it s homemade.5 foot is a bit of an odd size most of the horizontal ones are 1.2 m or 4 foot and you want the 30 tonne ones posch and binderberger probably the best but double your price.Go up to a 2.5m one for crane feed and start at about £14000 and up.Wanted to change my 30t binderberger for a 2.5m one but can t justify cost.When this size probably min 40tonne.

Cheers Chris
