Those Cord King processors look like the fastest on the market today especially with the saw blade instead of the chain saw. How much do they cost?
@W96NZ2 жыл бұрын
Hey we have a Eastonmade 48c processor and was over $130k but well worth the money. We demo ones with the chainsaw blade, and just can't keep up with our demands. I'll make a video of the process. This machine is a beast.

Thanks for sharing man, just makes me laugh that you made the effort to show some people see these machines operating that wouldn't normally see them and all of a sudden you are being judged from every angle! "Boy, your shoe laces are shit!" " you are not no1 in the world in the excavator you dip shit!" I didn't hear you claiming to be. Also I'm pretty sure you aren't the only dude that uses the equipment there, you said it was a Saturday, I'm guessing not everyone works Saturdays? Any way I appreciated the video, Cheers

@thinkcivil16274 жыл бұрын
You've got a drainage problem around your work area, which causes issues with the water clogging machinery when mixed with sawdust, bark and other scrap. Some landscaping, possibly along with some gravel would keep the logs and the firewood out of the mud. If it's a low lying area, move to higher ground.

You may be able to get left over concrete free from suppliers. I did this years ago. Things may have changed and the suppliers may be salvaging unused concrete. I had forms in place along with mesh. The trucks just showed up anytime they had xtra and dumped it.A yard here .5 yd there and once or twice a whole truck. One area was over a foot thick.All you can do is ask.Good luck
