@@Slisktord Here we use birch as firewood for the most part. Splits nice, has few knots, burns good, dries fast, and has included kindling. I think my splitter is only a 5 ton, has no problem splitting birch.
@@Slisktord one wedge, and then a 2nd wedge at the back, so it splits in 4, but its already split in 2 before it makes it to the 2nd wedge, if that makes sense.
Making firewood? Den Norske måten:- Eat some fish with Ingrid for breakfast. Obtain log-splitting permit from Kristiansand Dept. of Wood, at 9.45 am interview. Take coffee with neighbor Bjørn Galskapsliv, whose latest wife explained, sensitively, today that she must divorce him. Fill up tractor with fuel. Ring up DoW to ask inspector to come and check log-splitting permit. Eat fish with Ingrid at 4.00pm, dinner time. Do the ironing with Ingrid. Pause for quality time with Ingrid. Collect the kids from the bus stop. Tidy the farmyard in the dark. Come back inside and drink blueberry tea, and watch NRK documentary about slowly picking berries.
Nice pieces of machinery. The mesh baskets are a great idea for anything other than birch unless they plan to burn or sell it all within six months. Birch turns into mush in less than a year if left out in the elements.
You are correct, birch will rot if not stored correctly, I know of many that don't want birch because of this. We always log and split with weeks of felling, then we stack it out of the rain in a well aired shed for a year at least, this provides a great firewood.
I dont like wood thrown in a bag only the outside wood can dry properly and wood needs roof and wind if rain and sun gets it most wood species rot istead of drying. i put it in the stash under a roof and dry it at least a year or two then it is ready to burn.
@@asbjrnmoen9022 ok i get it i gues diferent conditions diferent location. In my country this dont work we have too much moisture and heat wood rots fast especialy if not stacked properly.
I'm sure glad you have a mechanized operation I had fear it would be a guy with. A ax This world of pissed my Norwegian grandma off to no end she'd of probably rose from her grave to kick some ass . She was tough . She claimed she stabbed 100 Nazis during WWII with a viking dagger . She was tough. Grampa disagreed with her . He said there wasn't 100 Nazis in Benson county north Dakota during world war two. And she was still stabbing in 1972 . Gramps would know he was the county sheriff. Gramps was a swede. He once asked me if I knew what they did in Sweden when a swede went insane. I said no I don't know . He said they deport them to Norway . He fucked as he finished a viking dagger flew from the kitchen and stuck in the wall where his head was.
@@asbjrnmoen9022 so a lil less than 1/2 a cord. Decent price you're fetchin for your sacks of wood considering you're trucking it in and have all that nice gear to pay for. Keep up the great work Asbjorn!
@@asbjrnmoen9022 .. Litt rolig bakgrunnsmusikk kanskje, men helst litt kommentarer og forklaringer om ved lagring, problemer som oppstår, hvordan du unngår dem etc. 😁
That's not the way most Norwegians do it at all !! And most do not stack it in nets either !! Most of us stack it neatly in rows in barns or sheds or if outside under tin sheets to protect from weather. I have never seen it done this way before. The log splitters we use, but more commonly not such an elaborate one as this. Most farmers have a splitter attached to a tractor or the like. This looks more like a farmer that does it to supply the community with wood.
The palax D360pro can also be run by a tractor, but my model also has the ability to runs via the grid. The “use-once” nets are probably more common but I find them hard and time consuming to use, so I’ve invested in the long term nets. Stacking on site is great when you’re keeping the firewood, but when you’re selling it these nets work perfectly!
@@lnesland My family and all others on farms still stack it in the barns or garages. The only people I know that get bags are those who live in the town areas or apartments and don't have the space. Yes it is a lot of extra time...( I hate having to do it !!) But I also hate having to spend a week or two after cutting down a few trees, to then split all the blocks on the back of the tractor !! 🙄
@@robertkreiling1746 ah in that case it’s easy: just click at the speaker icon at the down right on your pc, and drag the slider to the bottom. Problem solved 😬👍🏻
