Here in North Carolina we call them water stoves . But most all folks here around me cut there own wood for those . I like processing wood for them as I did in my younger day we had one . Now 99 % of my wood sales are Pleasure Wood . And I agree with what you said about the chain . I have one 660 saw set up with 404 chain for flush cutting stumps . And it stays sharp at least 80% longer than normal 3/8 or 325 pitch .
Great video Chris, the team work that you, Adam, and Bert have remind me of Gord and Guy on GP outdoors, great group of guys who work well together and look out for each other and have fun doing the job. On the customer side, I remember the gentlemen you deliver to that also keeps his wood supply ahead 2 years or more as well, preparing for the next year and more is key. A good friend of mine who has an add on fire place and heats with wood has the same mentality. Always a year ahead and more ready to be cut, split, and stacked. Good Night Irene. 👍🏻👍🏻
With a 4 way and that size logs, that processer really moves some wood. It is much more efficient when you don't have to resplit. I got a pickaroon at the Hoosier. I don't know I ever got by without one.
Great video and explanations Chris! I see that you're constantly reaching into the splitter box. I have to do the same thing with mine. There's always something that lands in crooked. The worst is when you have an 18" D x 20" L piece of oak land on its end. That's a real pain to straighten out. You could really see the chain chattering. Big difference after you sharpened it. I can go all day without sharpening if the wood is clean. Any dirt though, forget it. If I have help I can get about 2 cords per hour. That's with one person loading the deck and another clearing the chute and dumping the catch pans. Have a great day!!
Bucked some big pine Friday that I could've used Bert's big bar to cut through. But the little 24in bar I had worked fine on logs over 30in diameter. Just have to know how to work it on the log so you don't have to cut from both sides. Was a great time in the woodyard with monster pine.
I cut all wood by premarking all the logs and then picking them up with my grapple. 18 months ago I was fortunate enough to have the logger ask how long do you want them.OMG I said 20 feet. I bought 90 cord. Some up 20 plus inches.
Got home last night and there waiting for me was my beautiful sweety🤩😍, wife knew right away I was talking about the new 572XPG that I ordered as a replacement for my smoooshed 572XP.💔
@@InTheWoodyard Yes new saws are nice it's too bad it cost me a nearly new saw to get another new one, it was on its tenth tank of gas when it met its demise. Poop 💩occurs no one got hurt so I am good with the way things turned out.
That elevator chain may need to be adjusted, to be run somewhat "tighter". Having owned and run several old Allis Chalmers combines with paddle chains; if they got to loose you had problems.......just a suggestion based on what I have seen in the past.😁😁😁😁😁
I try very hard to not borrow ANY money for stuff, I like to pay with cash as much as possible. But we write off the tools as our accountant tells us to for smart business moves.
Hey Chris, if you are cutting stove wood anyway why not cut the last two or three pieces an inch long so you don't need to deal with all these short cookies at the end?
First off This is not a tragedy (clickbait) second that conveyor tail shaft is designed and built wrong. One of the sprockets needs to be free floating on the shaft. you will forever have problems with this as the chain stretches and they all do they will become different lengths and will always be trying to jump time.
@InTheWoodyard Yes, that is exactly what THE BOOK and genetic science has now verified. I.e. We ALL have a distant, common mother. For want of a better name, they both call her eve. 😁
Oak makes you work extra every step of the process... Just a heavy, tuff, dense wood.. Hard on your machines, hard on your body, hard on your wood bank (2 yrs) dry time... we never ever charge enough for oak!! IMO GNI
Chris that 22 MB EASTONMADE in the big wood 🪵 yard you would loose your shirt 👕 48 min for a cord . Plus your own cutting small firewood 🪵 with it . Fun Willy’s firewood with Gramps with a small ALL WOOD SPLITTER put out 16 to 20 full cords a wk . There ways faster them that 22 MB I been watching last 3 yrs . See like 👍 it always give you trouble for a little face cord movie 🍿 😊. Long wk - end everything close on Monday for a rooster 🐔 foot 🦶 with iceberg ice 🧊day 😊😊.
Some sources say 170 but most agree that 180+ is more accurate. I have loose loaded hundreds of cords into my dump trailers from STACKED AND MEASURED full cord stacks and noticed that it was the same every time so.... I now know how much to load WITHOUT having to waste time stacking each and every cord and I now save HUNDREDS of hours a year NOT stacking PLUS the wood dries much better and faster in lose piles!
@InTheWoodyard yes been watching for along time now you doing great in New Zealand we sell in loose cubic meters. Some sell 1 cord as 3.6m3 of loose but should be over 5m3 to be a true cord
No matter how sophisticated and automatic machinery gets, it still requires human hands and a "human brain" to keep it functioning correctly. (and gen Z things AI is gonna do everything, HA!)
