If money is no object decide EXACTLY what you want/need and work back from there (and potentially get it built)! What are you doing with it? Do you need crane speed or ultimate lifting capability? Are you using it in first thinnings/clearfell/clearing up behind arb teams etc? Does it need to be road legal? What are you dragging it around with? Do you need to be able to carry 6/10/20 tonnes on it? Does it need to float across soft ground?

Is there a history of subsidence? How ‘deep’ a survey are you paying for?

Don’t forget Steve is a sweaty, not some weedy valley dwelling sheep shagger...

I reckon you might still be able to get a 1928 Safetrak diesel if you are quick as they bought a massive stock of the ‘old’ Diesel engines (but it might be too late now). They also have a new ‘big’ chipper apparently in late stages of development that might be worth waiting for? I’ve not heard many good stories from people running Forst over a longer period of time (but in fairness it’s always bad news that gets shouted about).

I’ve a feeling those may end up being very expensive boards...

The rototilts are superb - you really miss them when you take them off! You can do a lot of work without moving/tracking which has its benefits. Definitely glad I bit the bullet originally, you just have to see past the initial price!...

E27 - not a zero, but not a massive tail on it (even with the extra counterweight I spec’d mine with). They also do an E27z which is a zero but it is less powerful/has lower oil flow etc. They both look pretty much identical though. Here are some pics of it - I’m struggling to find any showing the overhang though (I’d guess it’s about 12 inches).

6 tonner, but it will also go on my 2.7 tonne Bobcat as they share the same hitch size. I’ll report back once it’s had a decent workout!

Aiden at Cullion Plant made it for me. If it works (and I reckon it will!) I’m pretty sure he will produce them.

This is Hardox too. I’ve got a ripper for cleaning as much as possible, just need some stumps to get stuck into now! Had a world of them whilst waiting for this and now nothing...

Just had this - not had a chance to use it yet but am excited!!!

Where did you get your Becker bucket Steve?

Knowing Adam he’ll have all the bits required to change I’d guess. Would be worth considering if the op ends up keeping it.

There is a guy on Facebook breaking a couple of Timberwolf 150s. I reckon the double roller box would probably bolt into your machine. Just saying like...

Woodland Mills 130 max or alternative?
monkeybusiness replied to monkeybusiness's topic in Milling Forum
Cheers chaps. It’s for a bit of hobby-milling tbh - we end up with timber that either gets logged or biomassed and I’ve got a few DIY jobs where I fancy making something from start to finish. The Woodland Mills look incredible value, their YouTube vids certainly sell the product well too! I am after some first-hand feedback though ideally - if they are a bit Mickey Mouse then I’d rather hold on to my dosh and get a mate to mill the timber for me. I do fancy one though!!! -
As per the thread title - would you buy a new petrol static Woodland Mills 130 Max or if not, what similarly priced alternative would you go for (and why)?
-
Any good?

I think it uses hammers to break down the wood into chips... You mean a 426 - I think they are still available. https://www.benburgess.co.uk/shop/timberwolf-tw-s426tdhb-diesel-hydraulic-shredder/

GB Oils is the cheapest I’ve found - we buy 1000l at a time and it works out around £1 per litre plus vat.
-
Is the Woodland Mills not worth considering for this application? Not something I know anything about but is something I’ve been giving a lot of consideration to investing in!...
-
German I believe.

I think Oliver said this cone splitter was a £25k option alone!!! Amazing machine in every way - it burst this 4 foot oak chunk and chipped it in two halves (which was a real shame but what the timber buyer wanted).
