what logs have you been chopping today!

[william petts]

It certainly is nice although I think more rain is on itals way, 1st pic is of this morning and the 2nd pic is what I would like the weather to be, then again there was talk of the possible rain turning into sleet or snow!

We've just built a log table and now we're putting all the big logs that we've left to one side through our new processor. There's something for satisfying about putting big logs through a twelve way splitter.

Nice mate very nice!!!, wouldnt mind seeing a few more picsofthe beauty. What sort of production out put can it do

[gdh]

Yeah the splitters brilliant, no more putting big bits back through.

I'll try and take some more pictures tomorrow, realistically we're looking at 4-6 cube an hour including moving between boxes. That's with 9inch though when we cut 18inch we should easily be 10-15 cube. I think the key will be to get as many 12-18 inch diameter logs as possible.

Very impressive looking machine.

Does it run a 3/8" chain or .404?

[gdh]

3/8, it's a 24 inch bar with a 19 inch cut.

Few more pics of the new machine and a pile of logs the lorry drivers stacked a bit too high.

[briquette_seller]

Do you get a full days cutting out of a 3/8 chain, or do you have to stop and sharpen it?

 

Processor looks well built

[gdh]

Yes the processors really well made, had no breakdowns with the old one so hopefully this will be the same and they're cheaper than alot of other makes.

 

If you're cutting clean hardwood for 9inch I would expect 25-30cube out of chain and going up to 18 inch length would double that.
