make this a double axle and ad a regular hydraulic 404 pitch bar and chain to it and make the deck with a live chain and add a small conveyer to load trailers and I would have this guy make me a portable setup depending on how much he would charge. probably far less then most manufacturers would charge and would work just as good.

@@jeromyw385xp I’ve run this processor and have run ones with the bar and chain method you are describing. This one will out produce any bar and chain type processor with less maintenance, no having to switch chains after so much use, no having to watch the chain tightness and having to adjust it here and there, no need for bar oil, and you can slice through just about any size log as fast as you want…. Unlike using a bar and chain. Plus the processors that use a bar and chain.. You have to really watch how much pressure you put on the bar, meaning how fast you cut, and after awhile will want to break the anchor point bearings, or start cutting crooked. You end up also going through multiple chains in a day, chains slipping off, ect.. I don’t think you realize how much wood that blade can go through and how much that same amount would beat up a bar and chain just from wear and tear.

@jeromyw385xp

@@dwightchaos9449 that maybe true but I prefer bar and chain because if the chain brakes or the bar goes out it won't do hardly any damage ware if these big blades blow apart there doing a lot of dangerous damage and peaces can go flying several hundred yards away and could hurt or even kill someone. I've only heard of one sawmill that had this happen to them and the blade went shooting threw there roof and landed almost 100 yards away and other peaces went sticking into walls and hitting other equipment and did 10's of thousands of dollars worth of damage and they were shut down for several days because of it. luckily no one was hurt when it happened. I'd rather stay on the smaller and safer side of things and have something less bulky and easyer to transport around with my truck not a semi like these things require.

This would be very easy to automate

There should be two saw heads

If this goes from processor to customer, when does it get seasoned?

@BuildALotAcres

In addition to seasoned wood, he sells green wood for a cheaper rate. Most large scale firewood sellers aren’t seasoning the wood do to space restrictions, despite how it’s advertised. He tells people upfront it’s green

With the price of lumber I am so against cutting logs of the right size and species into firewood. They should be milled into dimensional lumber and flood the market until the price is more favorable. Now I don't burn wood so someone that does might be of a different opinion.

Logs are sorted and sold at the highest price. If they are veneer or saw log quality they don’t end up as firewood. Even wood that is only suitable for scrag gets sold at a higher price for pallet wood before ending up as firewood.

What is your opinion of the durability and suitability of firewood processors from those makers? I suspect they have been building them longer than we have. I don't think they scorned firewood the way Americans did. Walker stoves has a revolutionary wood-burning method.

Yeah, math calls bullshit on your 7 cords per hour claim. That's a 4 second cycle time at best on that machine, you would have to be pushing out 1 cubic foot ever single cycle perfectly uninterrupted for 60 minutes straight if you were to get 7 cords an hour. You can tell by the video you clearly aren't doing that.
