  1. Thats a lot of timber cut with 1 sharpening! Fair play, some are better than others with a file - makes bar and chain processors look a lot more attractive. Thanks:thumbup1:

     

    I good mate of mine ran a Duun 420, .404 chain and was achieving the same sort of throughput per chain/chain sharpen.

     

    Harvesters run these very chains.

    How many harvesters stop every 10-20 tonnes for a chain change?

  2. I agree the shows will always want straight softwood to process because it shows there machine off well ,would you be impressed with them stuggling with big flares that won t go through or bent and twisted stuff slowing it down.

    I think the tajfun has a problem with the oil pipe,maybe thats been modified now also one chap on here reckons to use a chain every 10 to 20 tonnes,maybe I have missunderstood him but thats chucking away a chain a day.

    Cheers Chris

     

    :lol::lol::lol::laugh1::lol:

     

    I have a Pilke 1 x 42, and a .404 chain will stay sharp up too 100 tonnes, and I can sharpen a chain 10 or 20 times in its life.

     

    If he cant keep a chain sharp for 10 to 20 tonnes, he should think about a career change.

  3. From the videos online, this machine produces a lot of small shards when splitting, you'd need the cleaning device to separate the logs from the skud, especially if you want to charge a premium for your logs.

     

    I dont think quality logs should have lots of small crap delivered with them.

  4. So your looking at a minimum of £80k plus vat, by the time the machine is in your yard......

     

    £80k could buy a much more versatile set up, and out preform that thing.

     

    Not only that, £80ks worth of eggs in one basket, is a risk and a half.

     

    When the sh it hits the fan, that's not gonna be pretty.

  5. Agreed, will be to wet for this winter but get them cut up and split now, keep undercover but let the wind blow through the stack and they will be fine next winter.

     

    I do find my machine struggles a bit cutting the likes of Leylandi especially if its wet.

     

    A

     

    What machine? Firewood processor?

    If so which one?

     

    Fresh cut, it should be like a hot knife through butter

  6. As above really.

     

    Have 4 large evergreens which are to come down shortly.

    Are they burnable?

     

    Been told that evergreens are a bit sappy and therefore not to good to be burning in a log burner.

     

    Would obviously be seasoned.

     

    Any truth to the above?

     

    Kindest Regards

     

    All wood burns.

     

    Nowt against evergreens, if seasoned

  7. Spoken like a true businessman :thumb up:

     

    If some one wants you to take a product they will bend over backwards to get it in your yard.

     

    Feck giving some Russian gangster 10 k how you going to get your money back :lol:

     

    Well said.

     

    I know three or four guys who have paid out thousands to Poland, Russia etc, and gotten zero in return.

     

    If the supplier is legitimate, they will spend the first one before pyament.

    If not, they are well dodge.

     

    And if you want to waste thousands of pounds, iam happy to take it, for no return :thumbup:
