Though I met Ed at the Firewood Frenzy I wish I had come up with you to see his operation. Oh well finding “a new best friend” is like underwear you change them often!!!! 👍TCT
Find myself memorized after a few minutes of watching. Nice way to wake up watching a machine work. Watching people standing around in below freezing weather doing the same thing. As a kid I remember Thrashing machine coming down the road with a big ole stream tractor going from farm to farm harvesting hay and all the neighbor would help out thrashing the hay on each other farms; being very young I just helped out down by grain chute and grain bags someone else would sew the grain bags and the hay was just made into in a huge haystack. The best part of the day was going in for lunch and sitting down to homemade from scratch lunch and all the workers would eat at a table full of food. All I wanted to do was lay under a shade tree and sleep after eating all the good food. Thinking this is the modern day thrashing machine except this is a wood processor. Minus the good food. 😀
The biggest problem with the circular saw is once you run one you won't want to go back to the bar machine, and you need to keep that hungry machine fed! You also find that you have more free time without chain sharpening. Great video! Hammer down!!
Watching some old ones again. Chris. I would like to hear you slap a couple of those split pieces together. I love that good dry sound. Just one time when you're making a load. Thank you, Kenny from Western North Carolina
Good morning guys!!😀😀 Wish I could have came along and played with the 48C. A hour or so and I would have been able to really turn some wood out. Bert also caught on really quick and did a great job!! Take care my friends!!😀😀💚💚 Logger Al
Good Morning, Logger Al. I feel your pain. I am green with envy. I am not worthy of standing amongst greatness. I had to wear a bib while I watched this video. My mouth was open, and I was drooling, then I started to feel the vapors. No doubt, in ten minutes, you would have THE BEAST rocking and rolling.
We received 3 inches of rain followed up by a couple of inches of snow yesterday, so having the long video this morning was perfect. Thanks! I know everybody was chomping at the bit to get started, but I sure wish your interview at the beginning was a little more in-depth. I know he had a lot of knowledge to share on his experiences with different types of processors and the evolution of them into this monster we are watching today. His comment on processors being an investment and making money on everyone he has owned was impressive by itself. This is only possible with starting each day with a grease gun! Nice job, Fellers!👍
Sorry you got slop again. Up until Thursday night, the weather dudes and dudettes were telling us, to close to call. Could get one to twelve inches. We got fog. Do not have to shovel fog..
Finally ! A production where every thing went perfect! 😃 You didn't scare anyone by throwing splits in the pickup. You didn't put any machinery in the wrong place, Stacking was perfect . Nobody had to talk too any stubborn wood. No cameras took a mud bath. That was new and different. Nice to meet Ed, thanks Ed for sharing a portion of your processing world. Next time perhaps a camera on Mr. Forkmaster General. That fella is better than a three card Monty dealer . Very nicely done. Pat the camera man on the back, he was right on the money today as was the editor , lighting and sound man.
All I can say is seeing a product from Canada appreciated in the states makes proud. We could be so much better if government and politics didn't get involved. We could trade amongst ourselves much better. Thank you so much for buying a Canadian made product. I live an hour away from Perth Ontario.
I would definitely agree.. now only if government could encourage making more here are home (USA/Canada) and not from China. I make reproduction parts for some of the Mazda cars, and if I can make it here, I do just that. 😁👍
@@iffykidmn8170 yeah I heard that. Too expensive to have just sitting and not making money! That’s just an opinion from a guy who can’t afford a machine like that though 🤣
Man that is on heck a machine!! The whole crew ran it an really did awesome. Chris, you're a Great salesman for Andrew!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day
5 Buckle Up Great video. Loved the headsets. Bert, I now know why the controller is called a JOY STICK. You looked like you died and went to heaven. Ken, thanks for sharing your I KNOW THIS GUY and his operation. Great filming. Adam, Bert, and Chris will never want to leave the norff woods.
@bert brei You looked like you were born with a joy stick in your hand. Now I have four beady snake eyes staring at me. I know what they are thinking. Get your ash out of that recliner and feed us. Great job, everyone.
@bert brei Bert, if I heard right, there was a comment about using two skid steers. One on the live deck and one on the dyno? I might have heard the wrong word. I thought dyno measured torque and rpms. What would the second skid steer be used for. I am really blonde. I dye my hair grey.
Morning Chris. You guys did an awesome Firewood Production video today. The best thing about the trip is meeting so many nice guys, who will be friends for life. Nice job👍
The 48c is an absolute weapon that spinning saw wheel is devastating to wood wow ! The owner has a very slick operation with live deck being continually filled and the ibc totes being filled and moved quickly. Impressive and productive operation
Big difference between the first logs and several logs later in processing speed! Is fun, and exciting, to watch someone learn a new machine and become decent at it. Having the experience with equipment controls helps a lot on being smooth with something you've never operated before. With the new 40C coming out soon, if is as well-built as the other Eastonmade processors, that might be the machine I go with when is time for a processor. Can also tote it around to do custom processing jobs. Hopefully the 40C is a bit lighter and not need a one-ton truck to tow it. Personally, I'm beginning to really like the idea of a circular sawblade versus a chainsaw bar processor.
Awesome job on the video Chris! You can definitely see your photography skills with all the different camera angles! That is a beast of a machine, thanks for sharing.
Hey Guys! Everyone definitely did a great job there and had lots of fun! Many thanks to the owner for having you all over for a tour and try out! Really super enjoyed this video! Loved seeing every part of the operation and all the great camera work and angles! Thanks Chris for having this awesome channel and providing us with all your great content! See ya tomorrow! Andrew from NB, Canada :)
Nothing like watching this awesome video on a raining morning here in RI and off course having a good coffee! I never knew how much of awesome equipment there is up there since I started watching your videos, like I said I am just an amateur who process wood for heating my house, awesome video Chris good to see everyone together!
That was awesome! Best part about that setup is that you never have to handle the wood. All machinery. I thought you guys with the Ultra were fast but nothing like this and no back ache. Bert was running that like a pro.
Nice ‘firewood’ bucket, for the skid-steer…..expensive but makes the job a lot easier! This man is obviously not afraid to spend the money to buy the kit…..and just look at the output! 😊 Excellent video Chris, brilliant camera angles. Hopefully, you can replicate some of this action in the ‘new’ woodyard? Len (Devon 🇬🇧)
What a sweet way to produce firewood. If I were a buyer I think I would prefer the slasher blade over the bar. In your case ,chris, I think the harvester bar makes better sense considering the tree service wood going through it. With a slasher I would only want forest logs on it. It looks like fun, but I also can see how it would become monotonous. After a few days in the cab it would probably feel good to get out and run saws for a while.
Marathon video. This is my third time into finish it. Pretty cool watching ur guys learning curve on the machine. Don't know how much extra one of those vs the one you have is, but that machine is sick. Gotta feed it with the right wood tho, otherwise you've got an expensive toy. I don't do firewood, but as an observer, you've gotta curtail your equipment purchases to what your supply is and what your customer needs are. A good example is a bobcat. If ur doing mainly residential accounts where you have to access a backyard thru a 36 inch gate.... well, a 48 inch bucket ain't gonna do you to much good. Bigger isn't always better. Cool machine in the video tho.
Nice shots of the trommel and great content on the variety of eastonmade equipment. I think a cleaner is a necessary element because the processor makes so much trash. Your emptying the trailers of wood by hand gives the same result but also constrains production simply by the means. Either way eastonmade processors make nice firewood.
I’m only half way through the video and had to say how great this one is! That’s a beast of a machine! Ed’s story of his processors was very interesting. Maybe this will be discussed later in the video but does he metal detect the logs before they go on the deck? I’d be worried about that blade hitting metal.
