We like your firewood processing machine... It cuts 12 inch wood and splits them... we warm up with a old wooden stove and cook at the same time... we have 4 steel containers we would like to fill before winter...
Something satisfying about log splitting. I'd chainsaw up the downer tree and put the pieces on a trailer and haul it in on one day, Then the next I'd sit on a 5 gallon bucket and split wood from sun up to sun down suing a 22 ton motorized log splitter. I would make a mountain of firewood. Never figured out how many cords, but it was a lot. Didn't care one way or the other about the chainsawing part, but man I used to love splitting wood.
one of the best feelings i have experienced idk why but i just dont like these kind of machines.i prefer working hard with my hands and after that hard work a good shower and some quaility beer😁.
I always stood a bunch of rounds up when I left for work. Then when I got home good and frustrated, whack the day lights outta them... I like a 6 pounder. You can get a lot of speed on them lol. Use an axe a lot too.
Exactly what I was thinking. Most of the wood I get is the knots and twist. Very little straight logs as shown. The cutter at 2:14 has potential, but my wood I cut at 20 inches long. Would work for the smaller limbs. Could shred them down for pellets from that.
I like 2:30 because it makes use of smaller stuff. I think 4:30 may be underutilizing the machine capability. The 1:20 bundles are nice. 1/4 or so of a cord each?
and how to keep up with the processors.. there are a few used autoclaves around.. ones big enough to roll batches of logs into.. close the door.. turn on a modified V8 engine that has half the cylinders blocked at the intake and threaded bungs welded into each intake runner.. hook those to pipes and then crush proof hoses to connect to the autoclave to evacuate the air from the autoclave and remove the moisture from the logs.
Don't know about where you live, but here on the beach they are selling a bag with maybe 5 piece of wood for around six bucks.... I never saw anyone buy it, though...
lawrence aderneck and hundreds if not thousands of dollars saved a year. It’s not backbreaking if you are smart about it. A tractor with a front end loader will save your back and don’t do large trees. Splitting is easy once you get good at it. It’s renewable and you will never fear running out of heat. Getting rid of dying and misshapen trees that are only good for firewood helps forests thrive.
Geoff Pritchard you’re right, but if you don’t have a splitter and you’re smart you leave the bad parts in the woods. Maybe even grow some mushrooms on them.
The stump at 3:00 would take a long time to split up into stove size pieces with an axe and wedge. That machine... no problem. Wood like that is very very hard to break up. Unless you have a wedge like you see at 7:45
At the price of these machines, how many chords do you have to sell at what price to make it cost effective? Hand wood cutters are charging $150 to $200 a chord in BC 🇨🇦
Like a fellabuncher with a log splitter attachment some....thought the one at 6.00 was a steam engine....that one GRT...all really even from that one...the one on 7.40 holy crap scary....
Once seen a lad I worked with using one of these but was leaver operated two lads were using it and talking lad put his index finger on the face side of the log and the ram trapped his finger between the log and splitter blade he use to play the guitar in a band (he use to)
The 10 Extreme Fast Automatic Firewood Processing Machines and Modern Wood Cutting Machines Splitting Firewood demonstrate groundbreaking speed and innovation in turning logs into firewood.
Wood split into such small chunks causes a fire that burns too hot and needs constant tending because the sticks are consumed too fast. Before inventing a splitting machine, you need to actually burns wood for a few seasons to discover the ideal size of a stick. It varies, also, depending on the type of wood being used.
Do you have a fireplace in your home or ever gone camping? Those small sticks are called kindling, it's used to get the larger pieces of wood burning. Are you serious about burning pieces of wood a few years in a row to see how it burns over time? If you are, then please make a video of your spreadsheets where you recorded your results.
What amazes me is this works well with straight grained soft wood and these companies advertising this crap just keep sending it out. and all you worry about is some hick without ear protection
8:39 - ИЗЛИШЕСТВО. ОТрезает от полена с двух сторон - ровно.. Где финны используют МЕТРОВЫЕ поленья? Мне искренне нравятся наши русские совсем МАЛОЦЕННЫЕ устройства для колки дров.
-Dunno, but it says Otiss Machines in the lower left corner.- Edit : Never mind, that's the channel name. It seemed pretty neat for handling young growth and brush growth. :)
BELLS @ 1-55 minutes . Trust me I had one .it was the WORST Processor I ever had. NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS FROM DAY ONE....I COULD WRITE A BOOK ABOUT IT . BRENT EASTON IS A LIAR AND THIEF . STAY AWAY FROM BELLS UNLESS YOU WANT TO GET RIPPED OFF
At about 8:00... cut the wood almost to size, then split it, send it to another saw to take about 1 to 1 1/2" off each end? That seems like a lot of extra sawing and wood waste?
@@newforestroadwarrior My thoughts exactly. She gets complacent, or drunk, glove gets hooked on top of log, she has maybe a second or so to get free before it shears her arm right off. Everything is dangerous to different degrees but this one seemed to be the best "trap"
If I made one of those wood splitters, it would take 20-30 seconds to charge up (at random) and the fire off like a cannon (without warning) and send the split pieces of firewood toward a ramp with a steep curve in it so they'd go in every direction imaginable. My safety glasses would be made of ordinary glass, my gloves would be made of unfinished burlap, and my work clothes would all have fringes. There'd be free beer at every workstation, floors made out of marbles, bees nests under every tool bench, and the nearest bathroom would be two towns over. I'd have ringing phones and crying babies playing over the loudspeakers and wives who just want you to help a little around the house once in a while would have a seat behind every worker all day long. And everyone would still show up to work because splitting wood is so satisfying.
