Hi folks - I am new to the forum but hope to become a regular here.
I make garden furniture by trade and have a log yard in North East Essex. I have around 10t oak cordwood, 20 t softwood sawlogs, and a further 10t arb waste which I want to process into log nets.
The yard has no electricity and is 2 miles from my warehouse. I would like to process the wood into nets and take it to the warehouse for storage and selling. I have a decent diesel powered table saw, makita chainsaw but am looking for a reasonable splitter that will handle some of that knotty arb waste and the oak - some of which will be hard as rocks by now.
I am trying to buy one under a 1000 quid (excl vat). I would like to avoid anything rubbishy but at the same time I dont want to spend a fortune on something that is not related to my core business. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with the brand 'Crossfer' as this splitter seems to be a good German quality and 10t is pretty substantial? See here:
Woodman product Crossfer Log Splitter 10ton , petrol
If not then I wonder if anyone in north essex would consider renting me theirs and/or contract processing the wood for me. Alternatively, reccomendations for an entirely different splitter would be useful.
