what logs have you been chopping today!

[Pinkfoot]

do you use a winch for getting the splitter off and on the trailer? I had to drag one up a set of ramps and it nearly ended me!

Little ATV winch , £50.

Put a strop around the waist of that machine , and it walks it up the ramp.

Came off a little easier ,I had the winch on freewheel , ran down the ramp expecting the cable to tighten , that made me fart .

This beech tree came down in the February storm. logged up with a 261 and 460. The wee 35 needed the cast front weights for some of the lumps.

Nice one Rowan

 

Cutting up some oversized beech. Hard work but making lovely logs. Ringed up a couple or trailer loads yesterday and me and a mate split 20 cube today.

Nice to see a 35 out and about. How do you split the beech after you ring it woodworks?

 

We've been back to cutting this week and did well today with 19 tons including 5 with the saw out of the smaller stuff and sorting the nicer logs to make posts.

19 tonnes! good going.

 

Used the splitter on the processor and my mate was on the Krpan splitter on the tractor. Interestingly the processor was slightly quicker but not as neat logs as you get from the vertical splitter. Should be able to see both in this one.

Does the splitter have a winch?

The Krpan does yes. My mate doesn't use it though and just hand-balled all but the biggest rings onto the table.

No winch on my yoke. Had to use the other tractor to lift rings up to splitter table height in a transport box. I had forgotten how heavy green beech is. Some pigs in that pile of yours Beau. Surprised that your processor's splitter deals with such large lumps. I had the Thor on single blade only, didn't struggle but would have with the 4way on.

A decent bit of stuff after being put through the Palax and some which will be put through the Fiskars so to speak .....
