Firewood Processor For Smaller Operators WOODLOT EQUIPMENT Miscellaneous 30-1-6
"Our new 3-pt. mounted firewood processor is an excellent value for smaller operators who don't need a giant processor," says Janet Janssen, Apache Forest Products, Inc., Leduc, Alberta.
Made in Finland, the pto-driven Japa 2100 processor can be operated by any tractor with 20 hp or more. It'll cut logs up to 14 in. in diameter into lengths from 10 to 24 in. long. The splitting blade can split wood two or four ways. If you want you can remove the blade and simply cut the log into firewood length without splitting.
The unit comes standard with a 5.6-ton cylinder; an 8-ton cylinder is optional. Also optional is a 15-ft. conveyor (the standard conveyor is 12 ft. long).
"It's a simple, safe mechanical system," says Janssen. "The unit has a maximum capacity of two cords of firewood per hour, but some of our customers tell us they're producing up to three cords per hour. It sells for about $11,600 (U.S.), compared to bigger commercial processors that sell for up to $30,000."
