Pros...looks impossible to cut your fingers off. Cons....seems really slow and or unproductive.
-
Different colour lol... We have got 1 of their splitters and its a sound machine, its £1400 inc vat & pto & delivery.
-
we used old skip sheets i got for nowt, it worked.

Got this info from Riko about Uniforest. · Fully welded construction, not folded metal and bolted together · x2 Standard V belts for drive and these are available almost anywhere as spares · 700mm tungsten tipped blade which has a 30cm cut (not 25cm like most others). These can also be sharpened/re-tipped · Its required to be run at 350rpm on the PTO, a lot of the others on the market require 540rpm burning more fuel for a smaller cut. · Wheels and handles are standard for easier moving about when off the tractor · Rollers in the trough and on the extension bar to allow the log to move across easier. · You can retrofit a 4 or 5 meter hydraulic conveyor to the SC models

Wouldnt fancy using that after a night on the raz!
-
Thanks for that i will look into them Balfour ones.
-
I can get 2 20 foot ones in John and still have room to move, ive heard stories of hinges being cut off an all sorts, when they have finished here i will get them took to the yard so it would be nice to get them super secure.
-
I need to get a shipping container at my house to secure my tackle while we build an extension, it will go down the yard when its finished so i don't wanna hire 1. With so many getting broke into there must be a way of securing them? i have seen the mobile mini ones have concealed hinges and a hidden locking mechanism but are like hens teeth second hand!
-
Ive seen lots have the option of a conveyor, do you have 1 on yours? i know its more money but less work i suppose
-
That looks really efficient
-
Do they throw logs about that much?
-
What HP is the tractor your running it off? our David brown is rated at 50hp off the pto when it came out the factory.
-
Good man
-
To me they are all pretty similar, it comes down to... Safety Build quality Cost I do like the Oxdale but the build quality of the Balfour looks nice Uniforest looks good too
-
-
Correct me if i am wrong but the design on the balfour one looks like you would physically have to hold the log while it gets cut, compared to the oxdale which has a wide deep u shaped bench to hold the log! mine will be used by employees so also has to be safe as can be.
-
I like the look of those, if its owt like the oxdale splitter we had it will be solid.
-
What model is that? do you find it easier / more productive than ringing up?
-
The various ones i have seen on youtube do seem to be really productive, all though the majority looks like you have to hold the log which defeats the object of having a guard! There's a few hundred ton to go through so i don't really wanna buy cheap.
-
I was thinking about running it off our old db tractor that is now sat idle in the yard, I assume a pto version would be cheaper still. What's Balfour tackle like?
-
Imo it doesn't look very robust.
-
I am thinking about buying a circular saw bench to try and make life easier cutting up, currently we are just stacking timber on the floor and go at it with a chainsaw which is productive but tiring after a period of time. Uniforest? Posch??? I have never used 1 before so any info would help.
-
Haaaaaaaa that's priceless, god knows where you found that beauty
-
What fuel - ad blue ratio do they use? Or does it vary with different vehicles?
-
Bloody el...we've being in t shirts today, its warm here.
