Thanks tom, i can be as rough as you like, so that would concern me. The idea of an ms880 tickles my fancy, but they look well out of my price range, might be worth saving a little extra though.. Where would be the best place to buy this saw? Is there a particular chain/saw setup hould be looking for?

I'm looking to purchase a new saw for cutting firewood only. I only need an 18-20 inch bar, but i want a saw that's lightening fast and powerfull. I have a husky 61 and a echo 5501 which are both good enough saws, but i would like something more commercial with a lot more grunt, that can run all day without labouring. I have upto £700 to spend
-
How much will you charge this winter for your logs? Will the c crunch and oil prices dictate the price? Nets, b bags etc
-
When i remove top soil from a customers property it's waste, but when i sell it on..has to be similar to trees etc
-
there 800mm by 500mm
-
There the 25kg ones.

Are you using a processor? I guess if your buying it in the margins are going to be smaller hence probably the need for one to get it cut and sold in bulk? I am doing something similar. I buy mine green from a few tree surgeons at £20 per ton and collect it straight off the job, and what i don't burn i sell. It gives me a small income over the winter when my groundworks business is slack.

lol, i wouldn't like to guess what the carriage would be from northern ireland !! Mate, it only took about an hour and a half to knock together. I made it from some off cuts from a set of gates i'm making. If you know someone who does a bit of welding, take a net bag to him and a copy of the pic to give him an idea. It shouldn't cost much to make. Saying that it's still painfully slow to bag logs. The splitter works twice as fast as the bagging tray. It took me an hour to split and bag 20 off them with this tray, probably get quicker with a bit more practice, but i could have split and stacked 2 builders bags in the same time.
-
I thought i would have a go at making a bagging tray, i know you can buy them but they seem to be suited for uniformed logs that come out of a processor, so probably wouldn't suit my odd size stuff. Anyway, here's my first attempt ! It needs a bit of tinkering and a bracket to join it to the splitter but in the rough it seems to work.
-
It has a petrol engine that powers 2 heavy fly wheels, fine for straight stuff, but nothing like the power of a hydraulic splitter imo.

davetaz, they have a secondhand one on there site for sale there asking £2,125 it might be worth a look?
-
Here you go, it's show and tell. The wife thinks i'm a sad git making videos of wood splitters..lol It cost about £220 for the new parts (cylinder pipes quick connectors) + my time (pricless lol) [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71l9W_TBoVo]YouTube - homemade log splitter[/ame]

Sorry, just a bit of tongue in cheek, my maths have never been good..lol

.512 is 20% less than a m3, but you got to take into consideration that you overfill the bags and the side bulge, and it's heaped over the top, so the customer ends up with near m3, least thats what i will be telling them..lol
-
The builders bags i use are 800mm square as well, so it falls short of a m3, but the ones in the video don't look any bigger.
-
Can you tell me the price per 250 of your vented bags delivered to NI, i can't find a supplier over here.

I found the cross head on my thor splitter pretty useless on anything wider than 8 inch dia. The knife blades were not long enough to split right out to the edge of the timber, meaning you had to cut twice. Most models that push the wood through the knife don't seem to have this problem.

Most of the wood i cut is 'off farm' condition so to speak, and i found it hard getting a splitter to suit. The wood varies from 4 to 20 inch dia, and it can be rough enough, so i made one to run off my mini digger. It pushes out over 17ton with a fixed cross head on it. It's nowhere near as fast as a processor, but i can fill and stack 2 builders bag an hour with it.
-
I would guess so.

If you watch some of the videos on utube of the hi-crack splitters, they look slow. I just sold a thor sptter with a 2 speed hyd ram that worked real quick. This splitter looks like a cracker.

How does the likes of a Hakki Pilke oh60 cope with knotty wood. I noticed most of the smaller machines have low splitting forces of around 5 to 8 ton, so do they jam often if your not feeding them straight wood?

Here's a couple of our slower runners..
