Thanks Dan!

That Cord King is an oldie but a goodie with it's own personality of course. Jesse did a nice job on learning the controls in a decent amount of time. Seems like having an extra person to keep it unjammed is a key in the process.

Cord King is a good brand. According to one of the commenters, this machine is about 30 years old. According to another commenter, it may need new wedges so it works better.

When I saw it was a Cord King I was expecting the big circular saw. The big old wood reminds me of a story. Long ago we logged an old sugarbush, all the trees needed to be butted off the first 4' to avoid ingrown taps at sawmill. So we had these gigantic 4' pieces of hard maple. The local store/gas station owner bought them and had them delivered out back of his station. Then he offered anyone who owed him money on a running bill the chance to work it off cutting firewood. He got his wood cut, split and stacked and some people in debt worked their butts off to clear their bills. That was brutal work, chainsaws and mauls, no processors or splitters.

That looks to be an early 90's model processor. I have a 2021 model 60 and a 2020 model 48 Cord King processors with circle saw blades. My 60 has a 28 way wedge and it will push a 25" log through it no problem. Thanks for taking us along for the ride Joe.

I would think the machine would work much better with straight logs.

That’s too awesome from log Hauler Jesse (it takes a special type of stupid)😊 and I agree lol cheers

That's a hell of a pile of reprobates to have to wade through! I presume it's the "every species you can think of, and a few you can't" sort of tree service pile. I'd hate to run into some American Elm or Sweet gum with that, the way it jams and plugs... You'd hear the cussing in Europe! lol. Some of that reminds me of the pile of old Silver Maple logs I've been whittling away at. Spalted, a bit punky in the sapwood, but still solid- and so well seasoned, it dries out in a matter of hours, sometimes. I use it for starter logs, kindling, and "helpers" in my grill. No great shakes for coaling, but it'll ignite just about anything else, and it smells nice. Even better, start cutting at it, and the bark comes off in huge sheets! Now it can dry from the outside-in, as well as the split faces and ends. I figure THIS pile was either winter cut, or from dead trees- because the green spring cut stuff in a different pile (and at least 2 years newer) is going bad already, after only a year. That wood is all kinds of funky colors, and smells fermented, and kinda like Tang. This wood is a uniform tan/grey, with some spalting. Both versions burn great. The older stuff is just easier to split! All in all, though- I prefer working with the hard maple varieties.

Would be easy to add a A/C unit to it I think 😊. Would be nice to have and might as well get unit with heater to😊

Joe, a request… I always love hearing your story how you left your 9-5 for the firewood industry. Would you do a video of encouragement for those struggling with leaving their comfortable job and going into the unknown. I’ve taken “action”like you say and began my plan/exit which has been expensive. I’ve said January I’d call it quits but it’s going to be so darn hard to leave!!! And it’s not a terrible job where I’m at now but does have ups and didn’t. And no I’m not getting into a firewood career. LOL.

Jesse summed it up that machine bites off more than it can chew sometimes. The jamming sounds like a real pain. So many expensive components, why the slow conveyor, slower ram, and not enough space in the splitting chamber causing jams? Like putting skinny tires on a Lamborghini

Wedge problem. Learn patience. Repair or replace the wedge.

Silly me thought that he already had a job driving a truck. From a business point of view if he can make X amount per day driving his truck should he be making X plus something doing this? After all he has to pay to run the processor and the truck with the crane to do this. Eventually he will run out of helpers if he doesn't pay/reward them with something.

​@@SkidderKev I see there are two boxes in the eight-way wedge. My understanding is the passageways need to get larger from the front to the rear so the wood can go through without jamming.
