FAQ
What types of wood chippers are available?
Rock Machinery supplies a wide range of wood chippers to suit domestic, commercial and professional use. Our range includes compact wood chippers, mini chippers, towable wood chippers and larger self-propelled machines. Whether you are looking for a mini wood chipper for garden clearance or a wood chipper for sale capable of handling high volumes, we stock reliable models designed for efficiency, safety and performance.
What digger and backhoe attachments are available?
Rock Machinery supplies a variety of attachments for diggers and backhoes, including buckets, trenching tools and rotavators. Backhoes are particularly versatile, combining digging and loading functions in one machine, making them ideal for farms, smallholdings and property maintenance.
How do stump grinders work?
Stump grinders use a high-speed rotating cutting wheel fitted with specialist teeth for stump grinder use. These teeth gradually grind the stump and root system into wood chips, allowing for effective stump and root grinding below ground level. Over time, stump grinder teeth will wear and should be replaced to maintain cutting efficiency and protect the machine.
What is an ATV trailer and what types are available?
An ATV trailer is designed for towing behind an all-terrain vehicle. We supply ATV trailers, ATV tipping trailers and general-purpose ATV equipment suitable for agricultural, forestry and land maintenance use. These trailers make transporting materials, tools and waste far more efficient across rough ground.
What is a firewood processor and how does it work?
A firewood processor cuts, splits and processes timber into usable firewood in one continuous operation. These machines are ideal for high-volume firewood production and are commonly used alongside wood processors and saw mills to streamline commercial workflows.
What diggers and excavators do you supply?
We stock a range of diggers, including mini diggers, mini excavators and compact digger excavator models suitable for landscaping, groundwork and agricultural tasks. These machines offer excellent manoeuvrability while delivering the digging power required for trenching, drainage and site preparation.
Are log splitters easy and safe to use?
Log splitters are straightforward to operate when used correctly. We supply electric log splitters, petrol log splitters and hydraulic splitters, each designed with safety features to protect the operator. Always wear protective equipment and follow manufacturer guidance.
What size wood chipper do I need for my project?
The right wood chipper depends on the diameter and type of material you plan to process. Mini wood chippers and compact chippers are ideal for lighter garden waste, while larger wood chippers are better suited to tree surgery, landscaping and commercial applications. Always choose a chipper with a capacity that comfortably exceeds your typical workload.
Do I need new teeth for my stump grinder?
If your stump grinder is struggling to cut effectively or producing uneven results, it may be time to replace the teeth. Worn or missing teeth for stump grinders can reduce performance and increase strain on the machine. Regular inspection and timely replacement help extend the lifespan of your PTO stump grinder or pedestrian model.
What ATV equipment does Rock Machinery offer?
Our ATV equipment range includes ATV trailers, ATV flail mowers, towable spreaders, chain harrows and tipping trailers. Each product is designed to maximise productivity while remaining compatible with most ATV and quad bike setups.
How does a rotavator work?
Rotavators are used to break up soil, remove weeds and prepare the ground for planting. They are commonly paired with mini diggers or tractors and are suitable for landscaping, agriculture and allotment preparation.
What is an earth auger used for?
Earth augers are designed for drilling precise holes in soil for fence posts, tree planting and groundwork. They are particularly useful for agricultural and construction tasks where accuracy and efficiency are required.
Do I need an ATV mower or flail mower?
An ATV mower or ATV flail mower is ideal for cutting grass, scrub and rough vegetation on uneven terrain. These machines provide greater reach and durability than standard mowers and are well-suited to estates, paddocks and agricultural land.
Are backhoes suitable for small farms and rural properties?
Yes, backhoes are highly effective for small farms and rural properties. Their compact design allows them to work in tight spaces while still offering the power needed for digging, lifting and trenching. This makes them a practical alternative to larger digger excavators for multi-purpose tasks.
Is a wood processor a good investment for commercial firewood businesses?
Yes, a wood processor is an excellent investment for commercial firewood businesses. By combining cutting and splitting into one process, it significantly increases output, reduces labour costs and improves consistency compared to manual or semi-automated methods.
Do petrol log splitters offer more power than electric models?
Petrol log splitters typically deliver more power than electric log splitters, making them better suited to splitting dense hardwoods and larger logs. Models such as the Venom log splitter are popular for heavy-duty applications and off-grid use.
Can a petrol wood splitter be used without mains electricity?
Yes, petrol wood splitters are ideal for remote locations as they do not rely on mains electricity. This makes them a popular choice for forestry work, farms and rural properties where portability and power are essential.
