Anyone got suggestions for a good, versatile log-splitter and a chipper?> >
I'm thinking of buying one, partly as an exercise in processing our
woody> waste, partly to generate firewood for sale. Most of our wood is
fairly> varied, with large/small/irregular bits to deal with, so no good
having a> machine that will only do dead straight forestry wood. Probably
run it off> tractor PTO or hydraulics. Never used one myself, so don't know
much about> them.> > > > As for chippers, my 8" PTO bearcat is beginning to
show its age, and, as I> may have a bit of a windfall courtesy of
Hollywood, I'm thinking of selling> it while it is in good nick, and
getting a shiny new one. I would again go> for tractor-mounted, as it is
only for use on the estate. Ideally I would> like it to be 8" capacity,
relatively solid and simple. I realize that> chippers are basically
variations on a number of blades hurtling round on a> great big disk, but I
bet people have had good and less good experiences.> > > > All suggestions
