posch s-300

Hi all. Sorry yet another firewood processor question: We are considering increasing our log production and currently looking at purchasing a Posch -300. They seem a well built reliable machine, could anybody advise me if they are worth the extra money compared with cheaper processor's. The good points:thumbup1: and bad points:thumbdown:. Any reply's would be very helpfull and greatly appreciated. thanks again Jamie

I've just bought a 280 instead of a jappa 700, it is cutting a better log,( you can adjust the splitterheight much more accurately) log length is more uniform and great having a conveyor belt feeding cordwood into machine.it is very sturdy, logs still roll sideways after cutting, but ram easier to stop/start so damage not done to ram mechanism(thats what killed the jappa), logs getting stuck on blade a nightmare as the lid does not come up when blade out! not happening a lot, but 2-3 times and has caused damage to machine already, no obvious reason why it happens, perfectly straight small/large logs all stuck at times even when well gripped and blade bought into log steadily. Looked at APF at other machines and still not convinced after 2 days looking & chatting to people there is a perfect machine right now, none seem to live up to claims.

Thanks Steph by the sound's of it you are not very imprressed. I'm in two minds to carry on as normal with splitter and saw bench. I just dont want to spend alot of hard earned money on a machine that's not up to the job.

I am more impressed with 280 than jappa 700, just dissapointed it is not perfect after spending so much! it is much better than a chainsaw / splitter, which we had for many years, or the jappa 700, although that was fast when not having problems.

We are only processing 1.5m3 (truck load) in 25-30 minutes so far splitting 6-12" softwood, into 8" logs, thought it would be faster, not tried hardwood yet.
