Whats the most efficient system to cut and split rings?
Woodworks replied to Woodworks's topic in Firewood forum
To be fair the Farmi can take a 40cm ring but all the re-splitting is a faff with the reaching over to retrieve them. As you put it grid cutting on the splitter leaves a perfect product and not a lot slower than rings through through the processor when you have to do endless re-splits. Biggest I would put through the 6 way would be 10" and everything over needs re-splitting for what I am wanting. Thought you were getting a Tajfun and not a Posch? Edit. Scrub that I see you are selling that one. As said you have looked after it beautifully by the looks of it. The build and finish on the Posch is great but watching a demo of the Tajfun at the show I recon you have made a good choice. The flaps that lower the log to stop it flipping look very good and the build quality looks OK -

I am undoubtedly over thinking and should take my wife's advise which is JFD ? -

Just a couple of wagon loads. Would like to find a better way to ring it all up as it's pretty clunky and slow at present. -

Could do but I love the logs you get from the tractor splitter. The processor doesn't do such a neat job. Secondly I have a chap who helps occasionally and the only kit I can let him loose with is the tractor splitter. The Fuelwood splitter would absolutely perfect for the wood we have -
We have plenty of oversize wood to process in the near future. Not planning to buy any new kit just want to find the least labour intensive way to ring up and split it all. Current system is to hold the lengths with the forwarding crane over a trailer and ring as much as I can while it's suspended and then drop the remainder and cut that up and repeat until the trailer is loaded up. I bring the tractor splitter up to the trailer and slide the rings from the trailer on the splitter table and then the logs go into the crates. Any bright idea how to improve this with little or no expenditure?

We have very different customers ash. I guess if you sell a log of a certain size you build up a customer base that likes that size. We have always split quite small partly to aid drying time and I did see a HEATAS guide recommending that no split dimension should be over 6" and I have taken that to heart.

Bob wins ? Must admit I may have done some comparable to that first one. There is always and excuse as to why

So sorry to hear this Mark. You can borrow my Alaskan if that would help. No jobs for it for several months

Got to see this at the show yesterday. First glance it looked a good idea but as you point out that single bolt attachment is a major flaw. Also looking at a video of it in action there was chap spending his whole time spraying the guide bar with lube. Think I would pass.
-
Some detail on their site. Be good to see a video of one action though. http://www.tpchipper.com/news/tp-175-mobile-el.aspx

Did you hear the noise that ported Stihl made!
-
Never been asked for any credentials when buying the proper stuff. No idea what it would be like on wet wood but would suggest it will still be better than anything else you can get

Only other picture I took for MR eggsarascal. A small companion chipper to go with the electric one above

Ermm does this not count?

Cant beat Creosote IMO

Bad luck Steve. One of the upsides to going on a wet Thursday is the traffic wasn't too bad. The APF just posted this on Facebook "Our apologies if you had a bit of a delay on the way in, it was just sheer weight of traffic. A lot of people who put off coming yesterday have come today."
-
Had a great time as always at the APF yesterday. Didn't go with anything in mind just wanting to have nosey round and these two things caught my eye. The first regular processor I have seen that is guaranteed to make perfectly sized logs not to mention it grading out the waste. Secondly an all electric battery powered chipper!

We have a compact Lambourgini. It's 55hp but exactly the same basic machine as the the 35hp and 45hp version. Not run a topper but it can handle a hay cutter OK. Enough lift on the back for a heavy duty Krpan splitter. The loader can work way beyond it's rated 500kg but doing so is hard on the front axles.

Eye balling is a doddle. In furniture making we used to check boards with "winding sticks" essentially they are just two parallel lengths of wood you lay across the width of the board with one at each end and sight along the top to look for twist. The MK1 eyeball is an incredibly accurate tool. As for the sag yes everything will bend under load but I still like the idea and will probably give it go.

Looks like an Oleo mac to me. The one we had looked very similar and had the worst chain break ever for saw with a break haha
-
Doesn't sound so bad until you think about the leverage of that overhang. That rear axle must be way overloaded
-
Dont you think something like 50x50 steel box wouldn't need any mid support? I just saw it as lovely and simple. Screw on end plates and eye ball them level then drop in two rail sufficiently strong not to sag. Cheap, packs up neatly and you could have long and short rails for different jobs.
-
It does look amateur but solid if in the right hands. I dont like the ladder much as they can flex a bit but that set up right would be spot on IMO
-
Not seen this before. Looks a great and simple way for the first cut for chainsaw milling
-
From a humans perspective yes we are doing OK but if you looked at your world from many animals perspective you would not feel the same. No I am not about to commit suicide but we have chosen not to have kids due to environmental concerns.
