Loader-Mounted Processor Grabs Cuts And Splits Wood WOODLOT EQUIPMENT Miscellaneous Imagine how easy it is to pick up a 10-in long piece of uncooked spaghetti and break it into 5 or 6 pieces Now imagine doing the same thing with a 10-in dia 10-ft long log? That’s what you can do with the new Timber Processor built by Quickfencer You almost have to see the video to believe it The attachment mounts on a tele-handler or backhoe It uses hydraulic power to grab cut and split up to 14-in dia firewood logs in one motion First the Timber Processor grabs a log laying on a horizontal surface picks it up then rotates it vertically The log drops into a cutting chamber on the attachment where a hydraulic knife shears off an 18-in piece and splits it into 2 pieces Two powerful 22 1/2-ton hydraulic cylinders maneuver the Processor and power the cutting and splitting shear The maneuverability of the tele-handler allows the Timber Processor to perform its work over the top of a truck a roll-off or a pallet bin There’s no manual labor involved Quickfencer the British company building the attachment is taking orders from UK and European customers Prices for the 1-ton unit begin at about $9 000 Quickfencer USA the company representing the product in North America says no timetable has been given for a U S introduction You can see a video of the processor in action at www farmshow com Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Quickfencer USA ph 715 203-0075; www quickfencerusa com
