Branch logger

[slack ma girdle]

Im not convinced the material is too small.

 

I'm hoping to order one ( I have placed an order for an urban tr75 today but yet to hear back).

 

My aim is to have smaller stuff for our own fire, as most of my logs need something smaller to go with it.

 

I plan on selling this stuff by the trailer 10x3x6 or bulk bag (we have 70 acres of forestry at first thin and then tree surgery waste); but have as others say a crows nest; but where its feasible, Im hoping to segregate branches whereby I will end up with small kindling or small logs.

 

Considering what we put through the chipper on lots of jobs, any recovery out of this will be a great bonus. Reducing what we have to haul away. Don't know if I can charge extra for it, I'll certainly try.

 

I will certainly post pics of how I get on. Delivery wont be until mid feb.

 

Let us know how you get on.

Hi I would be very interested if you are putting a bulk order together.

 

Thank You.

I don't find the product too small. The one I have produces what I would describe as kindling, and or very small logs. It will be marketed as kindling, not logs.

 

I thought about separating thicker and thinner bits and bagging logs and kindling, but in practice it's a bit of a pain.

I agree it is a pain if it is 'waste' but less so if it has some value (might just be physcological). The photo is of a section of a first cut of ash pollarding done a few weeks ago. The piles are separated out ready for chunking for a wood boiler (straight into a vented bag) and logs/wood chunks for the wood burner.

Morning all, thanks for the interesting discussion. I've been looking at branch choppers to kindle up all of the offcut slats from milling and planking jobs. The same conclusions crop up about homebrewing something with a purchased core unit, and the cost and machine issue of tying up a tractor on a PTO unit.

 

I've been talking to a manufacturer in Lithuania about a CE marked machine with petrol or electric power and an 80mm capacity. Neat and tidily built on a trolley with a cutout bar on the hopper (for the ignition system of the petrol machine?).

 

It looks like they can hit the UK on a pallet for around £1400 for a petrol machine. If anyone is keen to do a bit of a group buy, then we might get something off that. I'm happy to act as guinea pig.....

 

 

 

I'd be very interested in one, does it have a 'letter box' style infeed to take milling waste?

Seems like a bargain. I presume that's plus VAT.

As far as I'm aware that's including VAT and the delivery.

 

It doesn't look terribly wide at the infeed, maybe 5 inches or so.

 

 

They are not a machine that's proven (like the Urban range, which I do really like) so I am pretty cautious at the moment about the longevity (or acting as some sort of importer or dealer ). I think they are relatively new to the game.....

 

In this day and age of communication and logistics, I think the factory can cope with dealing with individual users around Europe, and nobody needs another level of complication and cost from a local dealer.

 

They look pretty tidy machines compared to some of the Czech and Polish machines out there, and I'd like to knock out 500 bags or so with one to see if there are any major weaknesses. They are all such simple machines, and apart from the machining of the gears and rotors, all the bits are just the usual belts, bearings and a zap of weld.
