I always enjoy your videos. I give you credit for working through the summer heat & humidity. I stopped when the leaves came out. I'm waiting for cooler weather. Thanks for the video.
I prefer the temperatures of spring and fall I cannot lie. Any firewood production is done during the cooler times of the day, usually morning or during some low humidity North wind. Luckily, I can do tractor work anytime now that I have a cab...HA!
Awesome review, thanks! That's exactly the kind of real world user review I've been looking . It's not a premium machine for many reasons but still gets the job done even if it needs to be babied a little.
I think I’m going to buy one soon hopefully. I was using an old hay elevator. It worked ok but it’s defiantly not designed for firewood. Great review! Thank you!
Nice six month review Tim. I see they have a few of these at the Local auction house similar idea. I want one to move dirt around and I think it would work with the belt it would last that’s a good question. I wonder if you sped it up a little bit if it would heat the oil more or less, I understand the idea of the hydraulics to be able to lift the conveyor up, but it would’ve been a much simpler design just to have the engine running the belt. Is the conveyor so heavy that you couldn’t adjust it with a shaft and pins to lock it in place? You have a tractor so you could lift it with the tractor bucket. I would think if I was going to build one I would just have the engine with melt bullies similar to a hay conveyor hydraulics is a nice to do everything but I don’t think it’s necessary, always keep it up
I think with the belt style it would move dirt for sure. I'm rolling a few ideas around in my head on how to lock it in the up position. When fully in the up position, the ram of the cylinder is all the way in. That makes it backwards of how one would think it would work. Pulling the ram in, raises the support boom, thus raising the conveyor. Weird way to do it IMO.
