Is it possible to get a husqvarna type fitment bar 3/8x18" but 1.6 instead of the usual 1.5, It for a firewood processor , ?
-
And use dozer to push the trunk through the blade Have you seen those splitting knifes mounted on a 360 that pull towards the digger blade on the front, bit savage but they don't half rip
-
This is one that I made which fits on to matbro head stock, converted it to static later on, but still has matbro brackets fitted, bought a pto model now so very rarely used
-
Duffryn no problem This is the main reason I can sell them, as most hate the job, I'm not particularly keen, See, our main thing is kindling, lads chop Monday, Tuesday until 1.00 then tidy up start netting, net Wednesday. Empty drier Wednesday night, start chopping Thursday, Friday until 1.00 start netting, Equipment wise processor is already there, as well as staff, Log nets always used to be kindling wood that for one reason or another wasn't suitable (softwood, knots) Now we cut for nets with the majority of the log nets sold from May through to August as this keeps things flowing as kindling sales tail off Its only in the last three years that we've gone back to doing hardwood net's at the request of one of our bigger customers, who also buys kindling and softwood nets

99% wholesale, stopped nearly all household delivery back in 2001 Very few garden centres/garages/smaller retailers will stock hardwood, all want softwood, higher margin It's the larger firewood retailer's that don't actually cut themselves, that sell hardwood,

Timber is bought by ton, I know exactly how many nets fresh per ton I know exactly how much sawdust/waste by ton I even know how many logs per net And exactly the profit per net with it all taken into account
-
Ha I'm nearly 50
-
Cost of a tote bag and netting bags comes to exactly the same, as price is ex yard, no delivery As far as £10 hour dream on, under 18 £3.87
-
You'll average about 27 nets from m2 tote
-
Why not try some Barrow bag's Lot of extra work involved in netting
-
Before kilns became popular, once heard of someone who had a old typhoon dryer on a tractor, he used fill a container with wood fix blower to one end open other end and let it rip and just leave it blowing, reckoned it worked
-
I agree it's a nice machine, the old 100s has a similar capacity, Hakki pilke cs1000 is along the same lines, the uniforest 40/20 that Steve mentioned is also circular saw and looks a fair machine, Then there's always the case of circular vs chainsaw
-
Cheers Steve Hope you haven't sold all that kindling yet
-
Which I your own view is the best firewood processor in the 40/50cm bracket, reasons for choice cutting, spare parts, value for money...... Cheers Frank
-
That looking like the best option, without buying from America which is to expensive Thanks for both your help, Frank
-
That's the one, but is it still available in the UK
-
Yeah, that's what was in it, and had to put it back in, ordered one by using husqvarna part number and when it came it was a skeletal type which is to small outside diameter,
-
Where can I get a clutch bearing like the one pictured, Or is it a case of buying a new drum with the skeletal type included Cheers

I use an old lister elevator original single phase with gearbox, but the problem with it is the logs come off the 360 are square and the exact size as the spaces between the lats, although it now has a base the logs become stuck in the space and can be carried round under the elevator causing all sorts of damage
-
Did you buy the conveyor especially for the job or was it something you already had, roughly what sort price, as I'm looking to put one on a splita 360 sorry for the hijack :-)

Close to meeting the big man in the sky....

Where were the pallet forks? -
I thought about turning a kind of steel cylinder, same length as the bolt when it's at right length, so a cap head would go through it and tighten but the head would be inset so the lever wouldn't hit the bolt head just the steel sleeve, If you know what I mean :-)
-
Mine used to do it fairly regularly, but it hasn't for ages, I think it something to do with the length of the bolt, mine are now screwed fairly well in so it doesn't seem to klonk back and forward or it could be the spring has lost some of its resistance , you could always go for a cap head bolt 12.9

I think Steves right, the bubble has burst
