i like the fact it has a conveyer too dean, whats the obsession with tyres mate?????
-
ah, i think i got 8 ton on the japa, i remember having the opton for more force
-
cut and paste
-
pull out dipstick and lay on tissue paper... this will show the level. an 8 ton ram so should push it through. occasionally the ram trigger valve stops may need adjustment. was it a 4 or6 way blade?
-
where can i get an eye rack?????
-
did you check your hydrolic oil level
-
never had a problem with fouling or jaming the blade whilst cutting. only jambed the blade when a small offcut falls between blade and guard. never ever seen a processor that has managed to split every piece of wood. i've even jambed wood on my 30 ton posch
-
i have the japa 700 and it is so easy to maintain cos there is not much to it and second hand ones come up quite often. cant comment on the hakki of similar size as never used it
-
yep still running i wont buy from our dealer for m.large as dont like them or their service so dealt with large direct which is cheaper? i'd wait till apf....could get ex-demo cheap on last day
-
japa and hakkie are now owned by the same holding company and are more or less the same machines. i highly recommend both main dealers for reasons said before, have no complaints and all problems sorted and spares arrive in next to no time. when i bought my heizohack richard and staff went above and beyond (after hours) when it brokedown whilst contracting to get me back working. that to me was priceless. jeffery at m.large has always gone out of his way to sort spare parts when needed. two of the nicest and most helpful men you could ever meet in the industry.

i have both a circular saw10" diam and a chainsaw one 16" iwould'nt recommend any processor above any other as i have only used 4 in my time. they all have thier good and bad points but i do feel certain ones are overpriced , and some are built stronger than others. i can however recommend companies on their customer care and after service (essential imo) the only difference imo between the saws is the amount of sawdust produced, you get more with a chainsaw, but you can easily sharpen a chainsaw if you hit a nail or wire in the wood. circular saw cuts quicker but expensive to replace blade. i'd love a polytunnel. have you tried the vented log bags? excellent for me!
-
processor will always be quicker because of the handling aspect and the conveyor belt. currently i split 10 cubic meters a day and i take it easy. the larger the diameter upto the max the the processor can handle, the faster the bag will fill, also the longer the log the less cuts you need to do. a bulk bag is around 3/4 a cubic meter so well done treedave but they were 18" long, mine are 10"long so i do an extra cut per log. does this help?
-
any idea of costs. e.g purchase, running, consumables
-
how long would it take to produce a ton with your set up your helping with?
-
500 gallons or litres???
-
nice one. do you need a heat tank with those??
-
last i heard pellets were £90 -120 per ton. thats what i'm told, i dont buy them
-
what wa***rs, thats only 2+4 years younger than me....bet it was for drug money cos they cant be arsed working
-
so what happens to all that wood you cut down??
-
where did you get that boiler??? its awesome, i want one. as for the pellets i agree!! and as for the time....don't you guys have staff???
-
as arborists, for a little effort and lack of convenience if you have a log boiler you have got free fuel. i've always felt with pellet boilers, if you run out of pellets (possible) it a frigging nightmare to get a log in there. firewood is free but pellets cost £££'s if i was a baker i would not go to tescos to buy my cakes and bread!!!
