Do you guys not understand he works for a logging company hauling 8 foot to a mill, and that he is just cutting some wood for himself on the side? You don't buy a processor to cut firewood, its just an advantage of being an operator. I know many operators that do this.

How about showing the machine foresting, loading huge trucks with logs, crawling around the woods, stacking up huge loads of log length, de-limbing if he works for a logging company? instead we get this little cheese whiz of a video from a guy that got to use daddy's machine on a sunday. do you guys not understand the quantity he threw to the side as "waste" could heat a home for a month in northern michigan with that. the front half of the trailer is loaded all neat and proper and the back half is a sloppy mess. plus all of it still needs to be handled again for splitting. plus handled again for stacking. No thanks, i'll stick to cutting,splitting, and piling in a bang bang bang, quick process. with my chainsaw and splitter-conveyor.

alot of wasted movements. you should have a conveyor belt loading the trailer with the feed right next to the pile of wood. also makes cutting the wood faster. then someone can be stacking the trailer at the same time without worrying about hitting them. you should also lay a large tarp underneath the conveyor to catch the sawdust and sell it too.
