Cool! Tell me more about that peeler.  What make, price, capacity, etc.

It will certainly peel a 9 inch diameter log, I thiink basically if I can lift it  it will peel it. It can  also put a point on the stakes.
It is made by a firm called Neuhauser

I got it on Ebay for £500, it has done very little work so I think I got a bargain.

I need to find a way of pressure treating the posts.

Maybe try to put a spinner on it.  Your forearms will look like Popeye soon enough.

It does spin the logs automatically but your  right it would certainly benifit from an infeed table. Peeling the small diameter logs is no problem but anything over 5 inch starts to get heavy.
