    Looks a good machine but the price is saucy.

    Similar machine here but a nice bit cheaper. Not sure how it stacks up against the Hartnett one as regards specs etc. but the bones of 3.5k less to buy

    What are you putting through it. I find softwood very easy because they are so straight. Ash and other hardwoods I find tricky even on a major saw

    Looks a good machine, but it is expensive alright. Spoke to a guy who has a PTO driven one, and he's very happy with it.

    I have a mixture of hard and softwood. Have a lot of ash felled at the moment , due to ash dieback.

    I'm on the lookout for a processor, mostly for my own use, but we also sell a bit of firewood from our own forest, from time to time, when we have it.

    I would see it as a long term investment.

    Also thinking of getting my son set up to do a bit of processing hire when he gets his licence next year.

    Just researching what processor options there are at the moment.

    Are diesel processor's much more expensive, I think that would use a lot of petrol in a day
