No offense but you need to multiply that £figure x 10 before you even contemplate it...

[Pro Gard]

The cheap type will be too slow to cycle and slower than using a maul.

yeh im not talking on a mass scale of a logging buisness just something to take the edge off swinging a maul , i pretty much work for myself so its just to do half a dozen loads every weekend , surely i dont need to spend 3 grand

[TimberCutterDartmoor]

6 loads?! £1500 plus

no mate but you will need to spend some thing like £1200 to even make it worth your while, but that will get you a good splitter that will do the job you want it too, and is perfect for tree surgery waste - this is what we have got at work and is perfect for tree surgery waste, and i think is worth every penny. you can get them electric or petrol versions and you can get them from fuelwood, in warwick

[defenderjack]

il stick with the maul then !

trust me jack it is a worthwhile consideration, you will effortlessly split a builders bag in about 20 mins an hour with two of you on that splitter, they really are worth the money, and it will last you a long long time
