Japa 700 any good?

[Alycidon]

No rack! Just pull the 7' roundwood off the stack opposite with tongs onto the floor next to the processor and load by hand. Roundwood dia from 4" to 10". Thinking about it, maintaining 3m/hr all day might be a mission on my own, do-able but knackering. Someone to present the next log on the tray would make it easy. No sawdust clear up tho! Or loading bags, that's just straight into trucks. Japa 700 is supposed to have pto input speed of 400rpm, tractor rev counter bust so I use infra-red counter on pto shaft. That's on fast split ram speed too.

 

I run my 135 at about 1400 rpm engine wise, thats about right. No way could I lift enough timber in a day to do 3 cube an hour, I am 62 and simply not capable any longer. Cutting it that way its about 6 cube a day with about 60 - 90 mins set up and take down and clear up in total.

 

A rack and 3m logs makes things far easier if not much faster.
