There are several grant systems all seem to be 40% and all full of paperwor Alex is the man I want to get the power / output right and fuel consumption any ideas?
-
Yes hand feed sometimes , i hire the local estate a big log splitter they reduce a lot of big waste timber down I have seen the top ram Alex does but i like the bottom infeed roller better one that can slide in and out so it would still be legalto handfeed and would help with crane feeding
-
I have had it for about 4 years I am getting too old to hand feed and the 5-400 isnt the best for crane feeding I have been looking at the 8-400 which is a lot easier to crane feed and a 40% grant also helps

I am looking at replacing my hm 5-400 heizohack with a bigger pto chipper . It is used only for biomass chipping , i run a 200 hp tractor Has anybody any experience of heizohack - jenz - or mus-max It is a big comitment and i want to get the right one , i have had no problems with the heizohack
-
I thought it was just me that was quite on the log job I am about 150 loads down on this time last year , the weather dosent help There are now 7 log adverts in the local rag most of them undercutting everybody . One guy convinced an old dear that pine was in fact a hardwood [ something i didnt know ! ] Nice to be steady away rather than flat out , miss the money though

The problem is its a rented building no chance of mains 3 phase it will have to be a generator
-
The building i split in is very narrow and difficult to get tractor and palax in , and i want to get a log deck in ( sick of lifting timber) Plus i get a lot of fumes at the moment It has no elecric so i need a gene ,so thought about a bigger generater to run possibly 2 or 3 machines instead of 2 or 3 tractors It maybe cheaper on fuel i need to get the correct power generater to mach output has anybody gone down this route?
-
Does anyone use an electric firewood processor? Say a palax or dalen in paticular Wondered what they were like compared to a pto version Both manufactures tell me they have the same or similar output
-
Has anybody used one of these reversing cameras Thinking of putting one on the pick up to help out in tight spots delivering logs

Thieves broke into a newly renovated house last week , they left everything but took 2 brand new log burning stoves . Times must be hard

I run a hm 5 400 which is 16" x16" on a 3 point linkage . The biggest is the hm 8 400 which has an opening of 16" in height x 27" wide The 5 400 is capable of upto 50 t a day , and the 8 400 upto 100 If you want more info pm me . I am around 50 miles from you
-
I have been looking at getting a 2.5 t 360 to feed the chipper and splitter . Has anyone had any experiences of these ? or what sort of weight they will lift?
-
I ran a farmi for biomass on a 150 horse case at 540 pto .It wasnt enough power to keep a constant chip size when putting big timber through . It saps the power with all the breakers in , fine for arb work though. Hope this helps. I moved on to a heizohack a lot better for biomass
-
Try a look at a heizohack , to hire out for biomass I dont think it is as quick as a cone head , but you do need a tractor

Has anyone had anything to do with the vigas range of stoves They come on and of the same as oil , you can get them to run 20 or so rads and all the hot water
-
We live on one of the routes to the fair The local villages have had riots , beatings , i have heard of some people too afraid to come out at night and of course the thefts that seem to happen when the travellers go past
-

-
Nice one
-
Have had my palax for about 7 years now Besides the usual maintainance i have had new bearings in at a cost of about £30 and replacement belts. There seems to be less maintainance on a tct blade machine , i still use the original 2 blades , there is no down time for sharpening
-
Just got my blades back today £17.50 to grind 5 blades I tend to angle grind about 3-4 times then send them away
-
yes i would like to know price to ?
-
Chainsaws produce a lot more sawdust . More sharpening. Slower ??? Difficult on bent timber. I run a palax , i have 2 blades , and would only expect to sharpen them twice in a good year [no nails] sharpen costs about £25 total £100 each tip costs about £1.50 expect about 10 of these I know of 3 people woh have come back to tct blades from chainsaws
-
I use posch horizontal 30 tonne splitter from jas wilsons It has only been stuck twice , and i put some big bits through . It will take 4 foot long and about 5foot diameter , then through an old palax processer I would keep away from a chain processers
