    Wow 2 splittas running, you must be running yourself to keep the 2 going. Will you be selling one of them maybe then ? Rob
  2. Rwhiteheadfirewood
    Hi there I have not used either machine but I am keen on buying a splitta, they seem a brilliant looking machine, I currently use an older tajfun processor but I end up ringing and splitting a lot of oversize stuff so I think a splitta might be the way to go. How come you chose to use splitta rather than a regular processor. ? Rob

    Hi there Gdh. Yes I understand weights but mine is a old jcb 406 which picks up 1.5 ton ish so I reckon rotator about 500kgs max ? And crate of logs 400-500kgs max when dry ? I’ve luckily just found a forklift with rotating forks on it ready to go so bought the whole outfit
  5. Rwhiteheadfirewood
    Oh right I hadn’t heard of this , I’ve found some of the rotating pallet forks on eBay from the link above, I don’t believe they work off a central bearing looking at that type one. But either way I don’t want to spend 3-4-5 k on one. There’s new ones on eBay from broadwater but they are still best part of 3k. Rob

    I have a barn too , so the outside ones are getting processed ready for next winter so they will go in the barn once the 100 cube or so empty’s out of the shed, luckily I can access both ends of my shed so I can start one end whilst still putting more in the other end. Rob

    As title suggests I’m after a box rotator to tip ibcs of logs into my trailer. Pm me pics if you have one please lads.
  8. Rwhiteheadfirewood
    Hi there been using ibcs for about 12 months now and really sing they’re praises. I stack mine 2 high outside and cut the tanks corner to corner to make the hats to cover the top of the second crate. I currently have about 50 outside full. Also to add I processed some green ish chestnut about 6 weeks ago straight into the crates and stacked up as above, tested it yesterday as it was looking quite dry and was reading 20 percent. More summers like this the better. On the rotator side of things I’m looking to invest in one but they are rather expensive, 4300 for a new one from agriweld I was quoted this week. Rob

    Hi there. I do mobile splitting, I’ve got a 16 ton splitter that I put on my trailer and take to farms and tree surgeons alike and charge £25 p h for me and splitting then put another £15 p h for second man and chainsawing. I do 4 local farms and 2 tree surgeons but I struggle to get to them as I’m so busy on my own wood. There is money to be made , put some feelers out with local tree surgeons/ farms / estate owners see if anyone wants any doing before investing. I upgraded my splitter 2 years ago and I could probably sell it now for 3/4 what I paid for it and buy a new one with profits from just the mobile jobs. Hope this helps. Rob

    Hi there had the same problem with my 2014 10x5 tipper on the electric pump setup under the plastic cover is a fuse !! My fuse blew new fuse fitted away to go. Rob
  14. Rwhiteheadfirewood
    So jealous of that setup. Couldn’t be any less handling involved. R

    Currently have about 40 ibc cages available on the hereford/ Gloucester borders. more available weekly All are plastic and metal bases no wood ones. Loader available to load. Best to contact me on 07411256983 rob.
  16. Rwhiteheadfirewood
    Look into the fuelwood splitta mate , I’m tempted by them as I get a lot of oversized stuff, you feed the rings in one end and it keeps chugging along automatically splitting the logs.
  17. Rwhiteheadfirewood
    Hi Matt what size nets are they you supply and what wood ? Where are you based for collecting? Rob
  18. Rwhiteheadfirewood
    Looking to hire in a kindling machine for a couple of weeks. Anyone help ? Based near Ledbury, Herefordshire Call me , text me on 07411256983 or message on here.
  19. Rwhiteheadfirewood
    Good to hear you’re feedback i purchased the 320 yesterday brought it back to the yard and tried it seems a good machine.
  20. Rwhiteheadfirewood
    I’ve been offered a tajfun 320 , anyone use one of them ?
  21. Rwhiteheadfirewood
    As the title states I’m in the market for a new processor, not wanting to spend too big but reasonable, looking at maybe the Hakki Pilke 137 expert ? Anyone running one interested to hear the good and the bad
  22. Rwhiteheadfirewood
    FairPlay big j that is one smart arb van ! Like it.
  23. Rwhiteheadfirewood
    I went out with my ifor tipper and ranger yesterday afternoon and was traveling down a bank towards a petrol station on a good main road and a car pulled in and the van in front of me just stopped in the road, I took evasive action to avoid but came into contact with my wing mirror on a l200 coming the other way , thought I was ok when I got stopped but the back corner of the loaded trailer that had pushed me down the hill had took out most of the wing on the l200. Moral of the story in snow lies d the trailer in the yard !!!

    Been averaging nicely all winter, gone a bit mad here ( Herefordshire/Gloucestershire border) very busy this week with people either run out or panic buying because of the threat of snow.
  25. Rwhiteheadfirewood
    I’m using a ford ranger wildtrak double cab pick up with led rear lights for those evening deliveries, ifor Williams tt3017 tipper so I can do pick up load , half tipper or full tipper or all 3 , and I’ve got a Clio van which I run the nets and coal to the shops I sell too, with a tow bar fitted that can also tow the ifor Williams p7e fitted with mesh sides so can take 2 builders bags with a proper fitted cover for when it’s raining. Looking to do more shop deliveries so may change the van for a transit connect type vehicle so more capacity than the Clio. I find offering different size of loads helps me sell more.
