  1. With a log deck - It has no rivals.... except Pinosa EPC 400 - Not a machine for the meek and financing it is not so straightforward. This is the brand the big boys use!
  2. We've got a 150C and a TC and they both took about 20 tanks of fuel before they bedded in and were free reving. Spot on for up to 4" diameter, after that just too slow for commercial productivity.
  3. That's serious quantities - 14 x 8 wheelers. How do you dry it?
  4. Raising your prices may well be a shrewd business decision and have no detremental effect on sales.
  5. Stop wasting everyone's time Petzl, hold your hands up, admit you underestimated the working loads that this friction device is exposed to. This is a simple problem with a simple answer: Produce a MK3 with side plates 2x the thickness, recall all MK 1 & 2 and replace FOC with the MK 3. Everyone will be very happy, confidence will be restored in the Brand and the whole issue will soon be forgotton. Expensive exercise - but knowhere near what loss of confidence in the Petzl Brand will cost in the long run if you don't act swiftly. Once a customer loses faith in a product - you lose the customer, especially if their life depends on the product. Lyon Equipment - ARE YOU LISTENING?
  6. Ok, so we will agree a day is 8 working hours, so 0.833m3 / hr. Thanks
  7. There has been lots of posts on the Forum claiming you can get a good return on processing Arb. waste. Would anyone care to comment on how long it would take them to process the average heap of Arb. Waste into 10M3 of split logs and naming the particular make of splitter that they have? By Arb. Waste I mean the usual 4' diameter rings down to the smaller 6" rings and all the ugly rings where branch unions once were.
  8. I'm going to post a Thread on - The cost to process Arb. Waste!
  9. Just make sure you are using white diesel on the highway.
  10. This timber is not accessible at this point in time, sorry.
  11. Sorry, as someone kindly pointed out - 400m3 of product.
  12. Not looking good then, but thanks for your advice.
  13. Every time - but you can't get a timber trailer into the back garden of Mrs Smith's semi !
  14. Agreed- the Beast, absolute waste of time for biomass - good for conposting though. Southern wood energy's chipper will handle the size, and the screen should do the rest - in theory. I'll call them up.
  15. Like I say, never make a good return if you manually handle timber and investing 35K in machinery, which will handle 800mm dia. arb. waste is definitely a non starter. A sensible train of thought to many people of course.
  16. Was that road open for business below the tree?
  17. Sorry - more m3 of woodchip from a tonne of timber at 20% moisture than at 60%, as there is greater volume in dry wood - if that makes sense.
  18. Much appreciated, they have a decent Komptech with 40" infeed.
  19. Nothing to beat them - but the bloke at the botton stand well back!
