Have 2 of them, whilst expensive to maintain I wouldn't change from them. One is 2005 and the other 2007. Have 100km on 2007 one and 200km on 2005 one. Have done EGR valves and Park Brake switches on both at this stage. Rear drive shafts on both as well.

Made a screen myself from an old stone hopper and some walkway mesh. Works well and my firewood this year is definitely cleaner. Had a number of comments over the winter that there there was a lot of dust/bark when I tipped trailers so hoping this will solve that issue.

I have a TT85 (TT2515) and I calculated that it holds 4.2 m3 I sell a slightly peaked trailer load as 4 cube Hope this helps

2 foot! I dream of doing 2 foot, stuck at the 8 inches and the extra work that goes with it.
-
6 inches is about the smallest it'll do, any smaller than that and the cut piece flies out. Main issue at the moment is the last section of the log, the clamp is about 6 inches wide and about 8 inches from the saw blade so the smallest you can go at the end is about 16 inches. Have ordered a second clamp to overcome this. Great machine otherwise, pushing through about 3 cube an hour on very poor quality material from thinnings (size varies from 3 inch up to 18 inch diameter)

I agree, way easier to bulk load the tipper trailer and drop straight into a customer yard. Generally though retail sales through garages etc look for the net bags. There's good money in them but only for the retailer, not the wood supplier. Thanks for that info

What size firewood is most common in the UK? Varies here in Ireland at about 7-8 inches for firewood in net bags People with wood burning stoves then look for anything from 12 to 15 inches and some special orders then for larger but not too often. Just interested in what the market is cutting to.

I hear you, I am considering running a small hydraulic line from the oil cooler to wrap around the cup holder to keep the tea hot.
-
Thanks, am very pleased with it. Link to manufacturers site is multitekinc.com and Global Recycling are the EU distributor, they do all the work on CE certification and vehicle type approvals as a trailed unit.

It's rated at 2-3 cords per hour, that translates to about 6 cubic metres an hour. A lot depends though on size and quality of wood going in and the ability to load the deck properly
-
Can take up to 18 inches and 22 tonne splitting force. More comfortable at a 16 inch max log diameter though.
-
It was an extra, custom order. Was very disappointed that machine came without a cup holder. Must get fabricating over the weekend.

Many thanks to Global Recycling for delivering my new toy. Great job customising it for European road tow capability. Here's a picture, guarded by Flash, my trusty log dog.

Running both a 2.4 tonne mini loader and a 2.8 tonne digger with stump grinder on it They both have their uses but I do know I'd lose the digger if I had to but not the loader
-
Yep, he's mine alright. Turned around one day and there he was with the seat belt on. Agree strongly with the cargo guard idea. I nearly took my head off one time with a car jack flying forward after breaking hard. Everything is lashed down since.
-
Could you train the dog to wear a seatbelt?

What additions would you like to see on Arbtalk
Spruced replied to Steve Bullman's topic in General chat
Two suggestions: How about a geographical filter for posts so you can opt to see what's going on near you. Especially pertinent for non UK members. Maybe a sub forum for different countries. The general tone of the site is mutual co-operation and help and this could be assisted with a list of skill set sub forums. For example, welding, soldering, hydraulics, engine issues. The level of expertise I've seen on the site is exceptionally high. Thanks
