    I use one to process 8 loads for myself and hire it for about another 20 loads a year.  Plenty power, and a very capable machine. Mine's 5 yr old now and still runs well, albeit the engine dropped a valve and blew, I replaced it with an electric start one and have often wondered why Riko didn't offer this as an option.  Makes starting it after a stall so much easier.
    Make sure you get the log lifter with it and also the chamber-side splitting lever.  
    Think there's a used one for sale near Chorley. Done literally nothing and fully loaded with all the extras, lad's wanting £10k for it no VAT  good saving on what a new one costs
    Have a look at the Facebook page  Firewood/Log Processors & Related UK ( Sales, Help&Advise, And Banter/pics  

    I was concerned about power but this sounds promising, thanks for the input.

  2. New to processing, buying in 25ton loads of mixed hardwood, processor friendly stuff, I will be doing 3-5 loads a year. Looking at the WP36 as I like the idea of a towable processor with a petrol engine, as doing a day elsewhere on hire would be easy. Anything I should look at? What is the power comparison to a PTO driven processor? is this suitable for this quantity of wood?
