To get to the wood cleaner, keep the wood on the cleaner longer by lifting up one end. You could design a hopper to feed the wood into the end of the cleaner. Then the wood would need to travel nearly the full length.

@williswoodproducts 4 ай бұрын

The cleaner is adjustable in height from either end so I can lift one end higher if I would like to. I have a hopper made but I just have no installed it yet

I don't know why everyone makes them so large. I guess it depends what you want it for. It looks like you are planning to dump a loader bucket into it. If you were going to clean wood as fast as the processor produces it, it could be much much smaller. Maybe people don't care that much about cleaning green wood. They just want to clean it before shipping the wood out. Is that what you will be doing? Have you got the grizzly bar cleaner? I think a disc cleaner like that sells for up to $18k. You can sell this one and make another one. Specifications, 1 ft wide, 6 ft long, hydraulic motor. Offer it for sale on KZbin. If you can build stuff, why are you making firewood? Have you heard of the Paul Bunyan Wood Chopper firewood splitter? It is the best vertical manual kinetic splitter.

I have the grizzly bar cleaner. It doesn’t pull as much out as the disk cleaner. The wood goes into my baskets and is seasoned until it is sold. So yes I do not touch the wood again after the cleaner. I have a dried firewood product which I’m planning to load into the disk cleaner with a bucket, so it does need to be as wide and as long as I made it. I honestly think I can go longer with it. Also, people in my area who I deliver firewood to very much appreciate clean firewood. It does not matter if it is green or seasoned. Clean firewood is always appreciated. Anything that can raise the quality of your product to help you sell more of it is always a must have.

20 ton logsplitter splits everything, and you can get fast manually turning the log a few times. This machine is too underpowered and limited, esp for the price, imo

@williswoodproducts 6 ай бұрын

Everything has its limitations. I knew going into it what it was going to split and it has been more than what I thought I was buying. You can get larger machines but they’re just too expensive imo. 20 ton log splitter will split everything but you’re bucking up every single piece on the ground and having to pick it up off the ground onto your splitter. That does not make sense for a commercial set up

@jakebredthauer5100 6 ай бұрын

@@williswoodproducts I am not familiar with those options and features. I had seen your earlier video about the grapple you purchased that had a splitting screw on it. My assumption was that it could be rotated to expose the screw or to expose the grapple. I also made the assumption that you were using that grapple from that video in this video. If this is a different grapple then my question does not apply. I still do not know. Is this a different grapple?

@williswoodproducts 6 ай бұрын

Price difference is about ~$3000 depending on where you are with the cost of freight. Most of the time we are in the wood yard on top of layers of bark splitting wood with the screw. I just happen to have a bunch of wood in the shop that needed to be split that’s what we were doing it on concrete

Splitting the logs makes it possible to use a smaller firewood processor. Are you working right on the concrete so the point of the splitter damages the concrete? Perhaps you could put down pallets to work on. I think we need a one year review on the grapple, when you have more experience. What about engine exhaust inside the building? If you get a headache, that would be from carbon monoxide. If it is bad enough you can die from it. I suppose you have done a video on your building, I don't know. The end was not very clear. You said if you already have one. I guess you meant if you already had a black splitter. What species of wood is that, green or dry? Is it easier to split green or dry? If you showed us what bent, I missed it.

Great vid Jacob. It is cool to see your machine still at it. How would you rate its performance with 600+ hours? Any decline? Still the same?

@williswoodproducts 7 ай бұрын

That is honestly a really good question. It’s hard for me to judge any sort of decline that it would have because it would happen in very small increments over the course of the couple of years I’ve had it. With that being said, I would have to say I have no. 8 have not noticed any decline in its performance. There’s obviously some things that I can replace that would help, like the infeed conveyor belt. But as for the heart and soul of the machine (cutting and splitting) I would say I have not noticed any decline in its power.

Do you have some tips to troubleshooting the outfeed conveyor belt? Mine( japa 365+ pro) just stopped working. Nothing is wedged, because I can easy move the belt with my hands. And the manual is not easy to understand!

@williswoodproducts 11 ай бұрын

I would start with folding up the conveyor belt. If the motor is spinning the pulley than it has something to do with the belt tension. If the motor is not spinning you could have a faulty motor or the flow control valve. I would double check the flow control valve to make sure it didn’t rattle shut. You can eliminate the flow control valve right off the bat if you remove it and run the lines directly to the hydraulic motor. Let me know how you make out - Jake
