Woodman6666, the videos of that skid steer attachment show the operator having to throw the machine around quite a bit to deal with the splits that don't exit the wedge properly. have you found that is needed and does that bother you or the machine?
What sort of production can you do in real life per hour, including allowances for harvester chain swapping and sharpening, etc?
How do you process 16"+ logs or do you have enough smaller logs around to keep you busy?
What sort of log lengths can you get on one of these?
How long have you had your attachment, how many cords have you put through it, what sort of work have you had to do on it to maintain or enhance it?
To be honest that was me in the video but with very little time to learn the machine, things are much smoother now, I will be posting a new video of me operating it again which will be much more pleasing to the eye. Production in good wood max 3 cords per hour, average over a full day 2-2.5 cords per hour, I welcome the challenge of any processor with one operator and the logs on the ground to start the race I think that would be interesting. I can run up to 18" logs but rarely do I have a very large splitter that splits up to 9ft logs into quarters then i just run the quarters through. Length of logs can be up to 20 ft but that is a little tricky getting them on but 12-14ft is no problem. I was the first one to really run one of these as we worked with Hahn for 1.5 years on the design so I have had either a prototype or the one I have now for nearly 4 years and we are over 1000 full cords thru it now. I havent had any major breakdowns have had a few cylinder seals one broken wedge but I had these on every other processor I have owned as well. You all need to remember the type of logs you give any processor is directly related to your production NONE of them like big ugly wood!
