Hauling, Cutting, Splitting & Storing Firewood

Hauling, processing and storing firewood. As a result of my laziness in firewood chopping, splitting and stacking by hand I spent a couple of months building a firewood processor around a 7 tonne capacity electric log splitter, a belt conveyor and forks attachment for the micro skid steer loader so I can move around the IBC - Intermediate Bulk container crates that are, as of now, full of firewood successfully made on my homemade firewood processor. No more back bending firewood chopping with a handheld chainsaw or splitting wood with a regular axe. Nor the most annoying thing to my liking - firewood stacking. As someone said in the comments, and very spectacularly I might add, people go through a lot of trouble and work to be lazy afterwards. And it's true.
Stay tuned for the next video! Thanks for watching!

A grapple for your skid steer to use on your forks would be very useful. Then you could replace the log lift with a chain-drive feed table. That would reduce the manual labor of loading logs and allow several to be staged on the table to be split next. Regardless, it's always great to see someone that's not afraid of work getting things done.

Although I can appreciate the necessity of your comment about not littering, I'm thinking only someone very new to this channel might say something like that. Donn, you have salvaged, repurposed and found use for things most of us either would have trashed or disregarded all the time. That you would keep the concrete bust out is just what you do- and when the "planned" crusher" makes it's appearance, that old barn floor will become driveway, or other useful surface on the farm. It is, after all what you are and do. Please note, even though you built the really spiffy cutting and splitting machine, you load the smaller stuff completely by hand, only using the log lifter for the really back breakers. You seem to waste nothing- something most of us need to work much harder at. Do your thing- it's good for us all! Hope your grandpa is still hanging in there and watching you take his inspiration and old shop to the next level! FR

You could add a hydraulic ram and gas power as well to the electric saw. Frankly, it could all be gas if you ran a hydraulic saw, but I like how inexpensive his electric saw is in contrast. Two separate systems...one hydraulic one the saw could work fine. If you used a generator engine, you could actually work it to provide the power for the system if you added a transfer case.

Smart is the man that makes his own things !! When I split my firewood I always have little small pieces I bag them in a breathable canvas type bag and use them to start my wood burner or just ad them in with the regular firewood, Bark as well. Also I was watching you ad a log to the firewood processor I thought of something that might make another video for you and help you out and save your back . You could make something to put on the arms that lift the log up on top of the firewood processor. Then use that same motion and use it to push the log into the firewood processor make these pieces removable so you could take them off and still use the feet that lift the log on to the firewood processor if that makes any sense. Great video as always !!

I think you could cut out a few more steps by making several firewood trailers with solid tires (no flats to bother with) to store the 2.5m logs on. You can load them up and leave them in the woods until you are ready to process them.

Have you ever thought "Am I mad"? How much weight have you added to the log splitter just to avoid a little clearing up? I completely understand why you spend time and money 'tidying up the system' because I do the same (on a smaller scale) and my whole family think I'm as mad as a hatter. We call it "Bremnerising" when I spend ages improving bought tools and devices. Great vids Donn, I don't care how mad you are (or seem), I'll still watch you!

Liking the way you make the skid steer "dance" with the full containers. Maybe a few slabs of steel for counter weight might help? Removable of course. My New Holland came with the counter weight kit. Sits behind the rear wheels to maintain length, and doesn't extend past the width of the wheels... And it's not laziness, it's self preservation. The need to complete the job, without exhausting the body. So you have energy for "other" things...........
