Nice. Looks like you got a nice pile of rounds there.

That's a nice stack of what looks like a mix of Poppulus tremula, Salix caprea and Alnus incana. Do you use a cordwood saw to cut the logs?

 

[agvg]

I use a cordwood saw om the smaller wood. On this I had a helper and he used chainsaw.

Nice setup you've got there. Is that a Jøtul cordwood saw?

 

[agvg]

No, this model has been made on several small shops, I have this and the same saw in electric version.

Okey, It looks kind of similar to some Jøtul models. Especially with the yellow paint.

Maybee its å copy, this is made at Brandbu Mek Verksted, a small welding shop that closed many years ago.

Is all that wood for your own use, Agvg?

Here is "Kermit", that I recently purchased from one of your distant neighbours .



It is impressive so far, the machine and especially the service and how well I have been treated. It is good to see customer service and building good quality products still means something to some people. Even though there are significant costs to ship and long times to wait, I am now looking at other wood machines from around Europe (especially if possible Northern Europe), because it seems businesses up there still have respect for their customers and the skills to do the job right.

One splitter that interests me is this Kretzer model:


Do you know anything about the company, how they treat customers, anyone who has one of these splitters, etc?

Is there any maker you would recommend please? I have considered Growi, Binderberger, BGU. Also some of the Slovenian splitters from KRPAN, Lancman.

Congrats Kiwibro!

Duun and Igland produces top notch splitters and firewood processors. Both are old Norwegian companies that makes high quality products.

Thank you for these links. I had not heard of Duun before. We see too much variety and especially large timbers that won't suit processors, unfortunately. The Igland WR6 was an interesting idea.

Skol! That is some beautiful scenery. Would love to go visit there someday, but I seriously doubt I ever will. I'll just happily sit by my stove and look at other people's pics instead. I can afford that.
