Getting an up close look at the Multitek 2040XP2 Wood Processor at the Logging Expo 2021. Read more about the processor here: www.multitekin... For more on the Expo check this page out: www.gltpa.org/...
It’s amazing the machinery and tec for doing timber nowadays. Back in my dads time all they used was a chainsaw and an axe. Now I’m using his experience to sell it
They definitely work well. 1. Need an area where you can split and leave cone stacks so wood doesn't rot at bottom. 2. In order to make full efficient use of a machine like this you have to be able not only to afford the machine but the gas, the truck load of logs to keep it fed and production consistent. 3. Need to build the client base and the hauling capability to deliver. After all that it's off to the races! The machine would pay for itself the first year. It's one of those purchases that would be awesome to make with 3 or 4 other guys to share the initial costs. It is amazing what could be done though and the potential for a business.
Chris, was Eastonmade there at the show, Andrew has some Big equipment like this. We never have and shows around in my area like this. It would be good to go and buy some chains and bars and check out the new chain saws. Great Video Chris. 😁
Morning Chris, choices, choices the larger machine with the traveling claw, nice, probably twice the price, can’t see you sitting while operating, you like the physical work to much, at least for now. The problem is many nice machines, and nice people building them, kind of partial to the orange and blue, although built in a far off foreign land. Take care, my friend
Good morning Chris!!😀😀 The smaller processor really puts the wood out for a small machine. Lots of splitter power!!😁😁 Take care my friend!! TTYL!! Logger Al
Nothing like seeing the machines first hand! I hope to make it to some shows in the coming years. There’s a fine line between quality control and production numbers when it comes to big processors
Very nice machines! I could definitely see one of those in the woodyard!! Back about 13-14 yrs. ago I had the opportunity to buy a firewood processor but didn't...wish I would have!! Stay safe my friend!!
Faster cycle times can be achieved by having an hour Glass spike roll feed to the saw. Plus automate the the spike roll feed in conjunction with the saw.
If ya order a 2040 make sure ya get the tss-16 way wedge with it.. I didnt at first than ended up paying for it in the end.. that will save your back a ton for how hard ya work.. and big 30"-54" diameter stuff we just crack em with a skidloader splitter into quarters and toss em in .. the 2040 is a beast of a machine even compared to the cordkings which was the first processor I had back in 2010..
@@InTheWoodyard almost 2 years now.. and let me tell ya.. multitek has better bearings and will stand behind their stuff.. we have had very little issues but most were adjustment issues after running it for I'm thinking about 2600 hrs on it now.. I havent gotten to run an eastonmade processor yet so I cant compare to Andrew's stuff yet but it's a possibility for the future I guess.. best I can say that I've run is the multitek for its reliability ...
I’ve been under the EM spell thinking they’re the cutting edge. That is not the case. These guys have been doing there homework as well. I see a lot of ingenuity in the first machine. There’s a lot of smart peps in Wisconsin!!
That second machine would probably work just fine for you. However, you seem to be filling your orders and you would still have to split some of it down. Let's get your subscribers up there and maybe RU-vid could pay for it!
I'm not attracted to the first one for some reason. The cookie flipper was hilarious though lmao I'd flop open my checkbook for the second one. The guillotine style was cool, and it was more straightforward and simple. The occasional round awkwardness is okay, easy to fix and still faster than doing it by hand.
It's funny. I was watching you use the Easton made splitter the other day and wondered if there was a way to follow the grain better if it would help with the waste produced. Then I see this video today where they are doing exactly that with the 6 way with the spring at the end there. Wonder how well it works.
Heys that’s my machine lol 16 way wedge. Waiting for my electric processor. Also why I went with Multitek…2.5 hours away. If I need a part I can drive and pick it up if shipping is a week or 2
I don't know what processors you have been looking at personally, but I'd kind of like to see a brute force 14-24 or 16-24. The 14 seems like a decent easy to use machine. I'm constantly debating between a commercial splitter or a small processor. Since I'm not selling anything yet the only justification I have is time spent
Its hard for me to fathom that people actually have these machines and are pumping out that much firewood. I just want to know how they made it to that level and where they started at? I feel like there's no way in hell my little business could grow into something that big.
Good morning from Piqua Ohio. Hey this is been a great vide. That's smaller unit without the air conditioning, how large of a log will that process I mean diameter?
It is my understanding that a chain will only last so long (6 cords seem to be average) where you can get hundreds of hours on the circle saw before replacing teeth....
