At the rate the 22-28 will split wood, you will need a steady stream of incoming empty IBC totes and logs to process. It also won't be long before the wood yard expansion fills up.

Thanks Steve, it certainly produces wood fast!

You have a first class operation and woodyard over there! I like the fact your split wood goes straight into IBC totes, which significantly eliminates handling. If all deliveries use your totes, you will be light years ahead of your competition. If you have to dump loose firewood for some customers, you can buy a "rotator" for your tractor to empty out the IBC tote into your dump trailer, to eliminate "that" extra touch of the wood. I've been "pushing" the IBC tote method, but there is fierce resistance to buying them, and dropping them off at the customers place of business, or their residence. The customers love them. I noticed you deliver them with the roof on top. Very nice!

Thank you, unfortunately most of the rotating fork assemblies I’ve seen are designed for skid steers and are pretty heavy. If I were to get one I’m not sure I’d still have enough lift capacity for the forks and the full totes.

I like Eastmon over the Brute, even without the auto-saw. With a roller system and a magnetic chainsaw firewood measuring thingy, you'd be quasi- fully automated. Thanks for the video.
