Thats it, cheers. I thought it was marshalls but its not on their website. I feel a new toy approaching! Anyone out there ever used anything like it?

Hi all. For those who went the APF show, I'm after a bit of help locating who was selling a strange bit a bit of kit im interested in. I think was near the Marshall Agricultural and Riko stands but im not sure and its not on any of their websites. It was for splitting large diameter timber down (as it comes off the lorry) to a size so it can go straignt through a processor without having to keep chucking big bits back through the splitting chamber. It sat on the ground so you could load it with a skid steer (or similar) and had one fixed claw shaped blade and a similar one that was powered hydraulically that spilt the wood along its length in a pincer type fashion. IIRC it was painted orange. Any help in locating who makes/sells it would be great as i think it would be just the thing to cure the bottle neck im suffering when i come to a big bit of timber. Cheers Chaps.

A bit more competition yes. But most are fly-by-nights; come and go and dont stick at it. I think they realise very quickly how much time and effort and kit it takes and get disalusioned very quickly. There are few big concerns that have been set up for years round us and some sell quality and some dont.

Hi all. I've been lurking for a while and thought I'd take the plunge and register, so thanks for letting me join. Been into firewood for about 5 years and we had our best year 2009/2010. Trying to grow all the time whilst still supplying the best quality we can. Cheers. Paul.
