    Thanks for the comments. Like the look of the Tanaka as well.

    Looking for a short shaft version with an adjustable head. Domestic use, to accompany a HS81r stihl machine. Something as short as this husky would be ideal, but cheaper would be good. Alternative suggestions welcome. thanks.

    Balfor used to do a bandsaw splitter conveyor combi. ( SS700c/800c models). Although you specified a bandsaw, this little machine by BGU would make a perfect garden processor if you already own a chainsaw. (kss 300)

    Its some job alright.

    That's a work of art Eddie. Hats off to all the thinkers making this stuff real nowadays.

    Cool, like the versitility of your Dalen setup then. How do you load and deliver?

    Where do you finish off the split logs to season once they have been through the processor. You mentioned before you sometimes use the processor as a log splitter for arb waste rings. What tonnage is it, and what diameter max will it handle.

    Thanks Gardenkit. Hopefully is just the later.

    The head is spinning when I pull the pull cord to start up, and is not easy to start. Head spinning when running also. Is that just a clutch issue (eg sticking) and a straight forward replacement?

    Just putting this here as will get fastest response. If I turn the head on the strimmer when its not running, its turning the main shaft back to the engine, rather then just free wheeling. Is this just the clutch sticking? Running and operating ok but this shouldn't be happening all the same.

    .... I wish. Saw this in work today, a new arrival to add to the growing fleet of 70's series Land cruiser. Will be going underground soon to get beaten up. Lovely looking truck though.

    I would say the 13ton is about £2300 or £2400 without the extra's?

    Is that an Alphine tractor on the Balfor saw Silky? Beau the magik was great but It was slow at times particularly when sap built up along the guide rails. Much better this way but you have to be careful.

    Splitting mature laurel, felled during some clearing work on the estate a few months back. Thats me on the splitter and my dad throwing logs up on the table. Nothing dramatic, so don't watse 5 mins of your life watching all of this

    I like that idea of sawing straight into a bucket, but I would keep logs in the bucket at waist height beside the splitter. Save a lot of bending, and then straight into cages or crates for seasoning. Pto splitter is the way to go alright. Last wend I had the old man picking up logs for me, as I split. It was 6-12'' stuff, with a four way head on a pto thor vertical. We were averaging about 120 split piece's every 300 seconds. Not saying you could keep that up all day, it does get boring, but the cycle time is nice between splits.

    There are electric motors out there with a 6 spline pto adapters (may need to be geared down pending). You probably only need about 10 or 15 hp.

    Thanks for the info, Seems nice and simple, and relatively easy to install.

    What about a standard hydraulic winch mounted on a plate for your quicke? Sure you could bodge an anchor blade reasonably easily.

    http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/large-equipment/65046-show-us-your-arb-diggers-please-130.html Stroll down to the near bottom of this page for a video on this topic from a member called Eddie. There are interesting comments on this very topic throughout that thread, if you have the time to scan through.

    Good shots Silky.

    Jealous. Liking that hydraulic thumb claw setup.
  22. rowan lee
    https://www.donedeal.ie/plantmachinery-for-sale/timber-processor/12072550 Wouldn't mind seeing that in action. Beefy looking splitter anyways.

    I've been watching that dudes vid's for a few years now, never seems to get an easy work site
  24. rowan lee
    Yikes, I'll stick with my £20 IBC's.
