One man operated kindling machine ?

[cessna]

Is there a kindling machine that can "Honestly,Reallisticaly"be operated by one man. I am sure guys selling them will say they can be operated by one man, I would like to hear from any of you that "Actually Do"use one (What make and model) yourself. Very expensive to be told a machine can be operated by one man salesman and then once you have it find out it is really a two man machine.:thumbdown:

we are almost finished building one

Would it be possible to fit a Flow control valve to a Posch/Kindlet and slow the machine down to a one man pace?

I adjusted my kindlet (the conveyer)a which slowed it down a tad, the size of kindling is bigger but not had any complaints. Still hard to keep up though!

My dad uses one of these machines with boards. works away with 1 person as long as you have a box of boards cut up and use a separate bagger as putting a bag on the shute of the machine doesn't work the best.

If you slowed conveyor down doesn't it make kindling thinner???

When kindlet first came out the pump used to run slower, then they brought out what I think they called a turbo pump, I can remember getting the uprated kit for mine,

Old pump I kept for a spare

I always think it's the bagging side which slows it down

just turn it off

just turn it off

Or don't put as much in other end

The kindlet is a touch too fast for one and too slow for 2. We average 25 bags with one operator and 40 with 2.

The single phase posch is slower than the 3ph/pto machine. I could keep up with mine on my own if it was loose filling nets but couldn't keep up making neat stacked nets.

It was a cracking machine.
