firewood processor
Hi everyone,
The shear blade idea and lack of need for additional machinery and labour to feed the processor seem appealing.
Unfortunately, the folks at Raineir Hydraulics haven't returned my initial contact wherein I had a bunch of questions for them. So it's not a good start, but if the processor is considered the cats meow by people who use it and a worthwhile investment, then I'll persevere with enquiries.
Thanks.
I have provided for you an owners reference
list and additional material.
I would send them a facsimile transmission
and follow this up with a phone call on a
land line to their office.
The Beauty of the chomper is its basic simplicity
and the simple use of physics in its operation.
There are used chompers that come up for sale
on occasion as many owners upgrade to larger
"Chompers".
I would recommend to you that you contact
"red prospector" on the board here with a PM
as he owns a Chomper and uses it at high altitude.
The hydraulic winch and wire rope cable eliminates
the need for many pieces of machinery and only
the operator is needed to process firewood.
Please be sure to watch the video of how well the
chomper works on the company weeb site
Firewood Processors Chomper Rainier
They have been building thses machines for 30 plus years
do they have been doing something right.
Do not pay any attention to the people complaining about
how the logs are dragged through the dirt either as the
same thing occurs when they drag logs to the landing so
thats no issue.
People are buying firewood for one reason and that is
to make heat for thier homes.
You just have to decide on which model you want as the simplex 14 that is tractor powered will be the least costly to purchase and maintain. It can be ordered with manual operation or fully automatic depending on your needs and wants.
The hydraulics on the Chomper are "non metric" S.A.E., open center type and simple to repair and maintain.
The hydraulic parts are easily obtainable through a large hydraulic repair shop that rebuilds hydraulic pumps and cylinders.
