My DREAM JOB,,,,,,all day long!!!!! 7 days a week. Don't know why,,BUT,,I LOVE processing firewood for my 2 wood stoves. To me,,there is nothing better than a wood fire to heat my home. NO utility bills. Even solar power. I process firewood ALL YEAR long and even have a 55 gallon drum wood stove that I welded together with a blower fan to heat my barn/shop. My dream job. Where can I get an application for employment. I can start RIGHT NOW!!!! BEST VIDEO I've ever seen on wood processing
i hear you about that one . i had to close mine down do to a death in the family and being cut out of the ranch . with that i lost my whole firewood business . lock stock and barrel . 10 years down the drain of fun loving hard work gone to waste . no more fun of life !
When the money gets tight or i want something i always turn to selling firewood , my dad showed me when i was young how he paid for Christmas by putting back cords, when the first freeze hit , people flocked thenhouse each year to reserve a cord . I follow the same tradition . Therapeutic hard labor
Dieseldaddy, I am with you. Lived on a bush block and the greatest joy was dropping dead trees and splitting the logs for my fireplace. Central heating was a must, but the fire added what is called atmosphere to the home
Good morning, then I can know how much this machine costs and what can I see from a short while? Is there a report I can go to? I am from Greece .. thank you in advance
I'm amazed at modern firewood processing... Seems kind of small pieces. Are these for some sort of kindling or automatic stove feeder? Should have waited till the end!
It split small, medium, and large pieces if you'd bother to watch more than the first 90 seconds of video. You know, tender, kindling, and fire wood.... the trifecta of building a fire. But I can see you have no fucking clue as to the effective or efficient use of wood.... just chuck in half a round ::facepalm:: Good thing you are in Alaska. The cold will keep the stench of your rotting corpse to a minimum.
My co worker has a old stove. Holds 32 in logs. He just chucks them in whole. He uses way to much wood. 9 cords. Small ranch house 900 square feet. Its always 85 degrees in there. Lol.
I still split by hand using a 12LB splitting maul.. I use on average 8 cords of firewood for one stove and another 3 cords for the stove on the main floor. I get it done myself in about two weeks and I still enjoy doing it by hand for now lol. I just got a tank of oil about 975 gallons in July and still have a quarter tank left so I'm saving so much money burning firewood for heat instead but of course I pay in manual labor but that's my workout so I'm not upset lol.. Thanks for sharing the video and showing us some really awesome machines!.🙏🙏🙏🍻
God I wished I had one of these. I have an 30 year old clever. Sure I don't have to use an axe but I have to saw and lift everything manually 😂 is it possible to rent? I could probably do several weeks of work for one weekend with one of these.
Great video. 👍 Anyone know that music at the end? Like I'll even take the source video or whatever. I'm an amateur drummer and would love to get to know this song better.
I had a similar routine. I would pick up free hardwood from the town forestry dept. I would process 6 cords by 8lb. maul for 2k SF my winter heating season. My neighbors thought I was nuts with 10 or so cords on property. I explained that I was paying myself about $40 / hr. to work out, or the actual value of the finished firewood. I was in the best shape of my life and getting more ass than a toilet seat as a result. No brainer!
Awesome mechanical engineering. We in Borneo use axe and chainsaw only which is very unconvenient. Wish we in Borneo have a simple affordable fire wood machine.
Keeping the bar chain sharp with all of that processing must take some time. I realize this is an advertising video, but isn't it odd that some basic maintenance isn't shown?
Somebody's wet dream. Cost, outright and maintenance, out of sight. I do the same thing, split to my size preference, with a 9 year old Huskie saw, an old POS pick-up truck and a $125 splitter. For commercial use I suspect there are better more rugged maintenance free machines.
good idea, but seems a bit slow not knowing the price and looking out the out feed i think the chopping portion could use an upgrade, but im not a pro on this firewood stuff. would love some input.
Diggerland USA needs to get some of this equipment so I can take my son to go play with it. I promise, it's strictly for my son. I have no interest in running this awesome machinery that might cause me to quit my current day job! I WANT ONE OF EACH NOW!!! FUN! FUN! FUN!
The bigger the log the longer it will burn, that is what the customer wants. I know your all about the dollar but figure out the weight and make a little larger chunk
Too bad so many good saw logs going to the firewood pile.I run solid logs greater than 10" diameter through a sawmill (for the lumber) then cut the slabs into kindling. The (small diameter) top of every sawlog tree is firewood, not the large diameter base!
When the lumber market was poor until the late 2000's, a lot of great sawlogs went for pulp. A lot of junk went as well. The burned forests of the west can be used as well at the sawmill...best IF taken out within a year. A good load of dead dry fir and larch sold for little as $50 a ton. Small logs make great firewood. I prefer the tree with a 8 inch and under at the stump. No splitting needed! I like it enough I built a small deck saw.
Thanks Patrick - good comments! although for me, I split the wood even right down to about 3" pieces since they dry much better that way. I cut split and stack wood in the winter (like right now) for use next winter. I store all my firewood under a roof, with really no walls to get the best air (wind) and sun I can for drying - but no rain reversing the process on me! Thanks for your comments.
2:00 - I cringe seeing long logs of this diameter being cut up for firewood. There's so much crappy wood in a forest that's perfect for burning. Why destroy a log that can be better used for lumber?
Only city folk are dumb enough to pay the price they want for their wood. Most are homeless so they can burn it in their Barrels. Nice machine however.
GarryOzols it'll do it easy enough. I've seen a similar machine do grey box, red river gum and stringy bark. It would do iron bark as if it was nothing
fair enough on the straight grained stuff but we don't see much of that where I live :-) My splitting is usually done with a chainsaw a hydraulic splitter and a few years out in the weather . Never the less your point is valid :-)
Why are you splitting it into kindling . The next thing I can think of is you use it in a old school cook stove. I’d like to see it on a 40 inch block of red oak.
Jeff Schlagel .... I’ve felled my own trees and split my own wood. But to class this as wood for yuppies sounds bitter. Maybe you don’t enjoy doing it? Then pay someone to do it. Can’t afford to do that? Again, bitter. The people who call others yuppies often got left behind by those that got good jobs that made their lives easier.
Most of the comments are about lumber and how much they get turned on by a good bit of lumber and how it's a waste or they are complaining that some people chop smaller logs because not everyone has a stove you can chuck half a fucking tree in
