If you set it for 6 inch does it consistently cut them say 5 3/4 to 6 1/4 if that makes sense . Can you grip the last 6 inches of cord wood and cut it or is it to unstable to hold down

10 inch diameter logs are ok but need to be less than 6 inch to go under the fingers in the kindlet. So the ideal log is 6 inch by 6 inch

How does the farmi 36 handle 6 inch logs . We need to cut timber to make kindling. Doesthe log fall nicely into the splitting chamber, if not how much grief is it to rectify

I like the look of the Farmi 36 with its own petrol engine but not sure how it handles 6 in ch logs

Are there better processors out there . We had a Hakki pilki but found anything shorter than 10 inch fell into the splitting chamber on end . We need to process for a kindlet so only have about 20 mm of le way . Thinking maybe Dalen or preferably something with a petrol engine

Not only do they keep the ash and beech round here they think it’s worth thousands on market place

I normally work on 1 tonne of green softwood will make 100 nets of kindling in 40 x 50 nets

I would cut a few trees down rent a kindlet for a week and make sure your timber kindles easily . I think you will learn loads and possibly be horrified how much work is involved. The best plans for your wood could be chip especially with high prices at the moment.

The above is correct . In theory the start up current is actually 6 times but the power factor helps out a little so three times is normally sufficient. A motor that is star delta starting will help things further rather than direct online . I see an engine powered pto years ago like a power pack would that be a better idea less thermal and friction losses

Big rings 30 cm long or just over, we sell to customers with big fireplaces if they are 50 cm cut them in half with chainsaw . Because nets command a premium price you can afford to buy cord wood for them

Thank you for all the replies . I have been using poplar this week for kindling 4-6 inch stems. I am thinking now the smaller stems have smaller branches and therefore small knots . Also younger stems are softer and easier to split . Maybe a decent wood processor would be good to cut up to 12 in ch stems

I need a large circular saw to cut poplar into accurate 6 inch rings . maybe part of an old American processor that no longer splits . Ideally needs to handle all sizes to at least 18 inch and bigger if possible .

I started with nothing and still have most of it left . Nothing wrong with earning money and doing well for your self unless your a socialist with a chip on your shoulder

Sorry I am a bit pissed and can’t find the box to put my bits in ? it’s this isolation you know

Not a standard electrician they would probably poop themselves it’s not a light switch. Maybe a plant engineer to bolt it on and a genny engineer to wire it . Or eggs bloke sounds good to do the whole job and he is just up the road . Eggs it’s time we all went out on the piss again I got divorced and it cost me 400 k ?

Personally it’s a dinasaur will drink fuel cant-get the bits and I would not have a clue where to start if it broke and I am 52 years old . Buy something 2001 onwards that’s not over worked and knackered when it breaks you will be able to get it fixed

10 bolts a few wires and a mornings work £250-£500 labour £500 for the alternator don’t overload both motors at the same time back in business choppy choppy ? pramacs aren’t a bad set ??

I wrote a long post for you the other day then found I was not signed in and lost the lot ? I will try and stick to the facts mecc late is a good European alternator and won’t cost 4 k more like £1000 speak to Steve wells at mecc alte . find a generator motor calculator on line and make sure 10 Kva is big enough. If both these motors are under heavy load at the same time I think this will stress the windings and cause early failure. does the alternator smell of burning. Like a flymo on a bad day if yes defo chuck it. we avoid rewinds now like the plague 80 % of the cost and they are never the same as new. When heat is applied to remove the old windings the residue magnetism is reduced this is a particular problem if you are going to use it for running motors. alternatively get a bell housing on the engine and mount a hydraulic pump you will get far more power there is a huge amount of efficiency lost in a generator . There is a good hydraulic company called harrier I think

Hope everyone is keeping well . Kindling in stock currently if anyone needs any

New cabstar with palfinger crane chuffed to bits with it so far ??

Thank you for your thoughts . I can deliver logs in bulk bag with hiab soon mess or grunting and straining . I have asked for cash in an envelope so we can clean it when back at base. i have cancelled all adverts but will deliver to people with real need just put a new vehicle on the road

We are still getting enquires Are people still delivering logs . Heating is one of the basic necessities in life.
