I'm in a similar position in that I need a whole bunch of new kit and am in a quandary about what to choose. I currently run an ancient Palax Combi II...it has good points and bad. The saw I love. When I firt started I thought chain would be the way to go but am now totally convinced by the circular blade (cutting straightish larch and SS/NS) However, anything much less than straight is a bit of a pain. The splitter lacks power at 5.6t. The Honda powering it drinks fuel and is under-powered. Putting the transport wheels on is a royal pain. It eats belts. Having to lift each length onto the machine is hard work and reduces productivity. There seems to be no ryhme or reason to how the logs fall into the splitting chamber...a very high percentage fall crosswise and then jam the splitter if you're not quick with the lid. I do however like the fact I can drop big rings into the chamber. I guess much of this machines problems come with age but would be interested in others experiences. So, what criteria does this lead me to? Circular saw, min 700mm TCT Min 10t splitting force Ability to split larger rings PTO driven Self loading/log deck Conveyor is a must-have Hydraulic drive rather than belt What is on your must have list??

Many thanks...I'll keep my eyes open.

If you search for Land Rover Tipper in Evilbay there's half a dozen 130's. Was only looking at them myself this evening. You might be able to off load the tipper body.

Hello Folks Does anyone know of a source for Husq. 45 parts? I have a venerable old saw which still does me good service but is in constant need of a drip feed of parts...this week the bumper broke. Thanks in advance.
