330 hp firewood processor

[@Dieselolds]

Great work, a nice benefit when working as a operator is to do some privat work when time is right.

[@Snowtruckdriver]

Don't be offended by stupid comments carl450r. This shows over and over again how many ignorant people are out here running their mouths about NOTHING that they understand. Great clip.

[@timrichardson9318]

Cool video Carl, too bad it doesn't have a spitting wedge welded on it too so as you're running the log through cutting it could split it too, nice job.

[@JAKETSU99]

I do it with Valmet 901.2 and im 15 years old :D and dad is happy! But you realy know how to operate the harverster!

[@whalefsh]

Got here as I had just let videos autoplay. Dunno why but I found that relaxing to watch.

[@freethoughtpolice6266]

Doubly good to see the birch from clear fells being used, here in Scotland there just left like totum poles and inevitably get blown over afterwards.

[@MrKris72]

Jeesh, pple love to knit pick... it's a logging machine he's using to cut firewood, not spec. built for it but it works.... that machine is the one used for loading the trucks that go to the mills and stuff, set the length and run it, LOL... I like it.

[@stellajaeger8425]

damn I thought an operator of that caliber could get the machine too stack the wood and hand me a cup of coffee, one good operator

[@mpedward2]

Never mind the bad comments.. It is good to see that not all the smaller logs are being sent out for chipping. Just got to be split up and stacked that's it! save a lot of time!=)

[@imchris5000]

looks like an after hours firewood grab seeing how all the other machines are shut down

[@carl450r]

:) can't hide you anything

[@tregforsyth1969]

I'm sure you would know eh..wink wink.

[@adelarsen9776]

I have to get one of them. I like the way he throws the unwanted piece away ! Brilliant ! :-)

[@carl450r]

i am doing this for 5 years now and i would like to see if you're better...?

[@icicicles]

Excellent job, good operating! Burned very little diesel to get a cord of wood compared to the back busting chainsaw that requires gas and oil. You can load my trailer any day. Great job and loved the video!

[@fricknjeep]

hi there now we are talking well done john

[@xxjdooksxx]

Yes, there's more efficient ways of logging it up, but I very much doubt he bought that harvester just to process a few tops. Might as well make use of it while you're there cutting down on waste too, nice work mate.

[@RamblinVan]

I could watch this all day.

[@Welderman34]

Nice! We are modding up processor heads like yours to have the tilt cylinder. Sweet rigs!

[@deksper]

Now for the next neat trick - splitting the bigger pieces when need be.

[@natenan5598]

Ignore all of the hate comments this is your way of doing it and I would do it this way if I could so fast and you get payed well I bet its alot better then waiting all day to get yohr trailer filled with a chainsaw

[@stumpgrindingdirect2385]

Absolute Brilliant !!

[@starlacocchi9670]

i like this machine i once processed 60 cords my old man dropped off with his dump truck, i wish i had one lol where i sell wood is like selling water in the desert unlike others i see very little waste cus someone will come buy and get the leftovers lol and yes it is a feller buncher, and to all of those who see waste all of that wood is by product, and i would like to see anyone try and out pase this machine

[@user-zu2bw7ig5v]

google. what a feller buncher is you'll discover your wrong

[@JDeWittDIY]

Why do you cut off and discard a small piece at the beginning of each log?

[@58daddygirl]

To create a starting point for proper measure

[@dave4854]

there's no profit in doing firewood this way unless the wood is free and the processor belongs to someone else and they buy the fuel and pay for break downs

[@carl450r]

it was for myself...

[@ChuckBeefOG]

+dave12546 You see all the 8 foot on the side of the road? There is a reason most processor guys burn wood at home...

[@charlesschwab6771]

+dave12546 Seriously. do the math people. upwards of 400 grand for that machine with powerhead. home many cords do you gotta do to cover all that overhead? plus fuel, plus operator expense, plus breakdowns, plus wear&tear, and transportation to the site and back. complete waste of time, money, fuel, and more importantly the time lost the machine was not clearing the forrest.

[@ChuckBeefOG]

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.

[@charlesschwab6771]

+C Genious this video is terrible. 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.

[@popoqwer]

Cool video of incredible machine... even scary looking ... just make sure you Plant More Trees after you cut them all down... so the humans and animals still have oxygen to breath.

[@meggadodge05]

that made me smile .wonder if that would fit in my sitting room i wouldant have to leave my settee lol

[@shaunbrennan5281]

Im going to guess , cutting some firewood after your shift with a Logmax .....5000? , from the heads/trash pile?. Probably used 50 cents worth of fuel. I wouldn't fill my Stihl for that. Looks like you got the measuring working nice ( for a change right?). Nice work anyway, it's what ya do.

[@jim1268]

Although not a processor, if your felling anyway an hour at the end of the day doing this is great!

[@chris]

This is so awesome

[@raybronson5539]

I guess I'm quite off topic but does anyone know of a good place to watch new movies online ?

[@lucianoevan1157]

@Ray Bronson I use flixzone. You can find it by googling :)

[@TimberCutterDartmoor]

That's not a firewood processor! That's a harvesting head ringing up sticks!

[@MrBlair19727]

How about processing and manufacturing in the forest? I have such a machine that was custom designed to have an atv or utv or small tractor pull it. Leaving the mess in the woods is the way.

[@joetherocku2ube]

Reminds me of The Terminator... the machines... You dropped a few pieces...

[@leemorgan4037]

Neat to see am curious how much that machine set him back

[@waynewilkinson2817]

i want one of those for a MECH SUIT!!!

[@69muscat]

wow , cool I can watch this all day

[@Gaby83]

Nice skill there man , I've seen some of other clips with the same type of machine, pls tell me , why do you make the first cut so small, is it like a reset cut or what ? I must say I've never seen a machine like this , I'm unfamiliar with them .

[@carl450r]

its the reset cut you'r right

[@binky8501]

interesting use for a feller buncher

[@graham2631]

You got me beat l use a excavator so no saw but man can it split big fir.

[@dstevenpaisley]

Why do you keep throwing the ends away ? Waste full .Leave them and cut them with a saw later

[@wspycher1006]

It rots and goes back into the ground as nutrients

[@ryanfowler1295]

Spectacular job!! 😶

[@carl450r]

making firewood is not my job harvesting log is my job and confirm that is a 600 000 machine 400 for the track harvester this is a eltec h226 2012 and a logmax 7000 at 200 and this machine earn between 10 and 20 thousand a week so it's worth the price :P we don't do firewood for living just for ourself we sometimes sell it by a truck load:35 ton aprx 40 cords for 1400

[@79pejeperro]

I´d go and collect all the dropped pieces like an ant.

[@burtvhulberthyhbn7583]

Big money for this machine.

[@UpnorthHere]

+Burt Hulbert You can probably get used ones anywhere from $150,000 to $300,000.

[@topfueler450]

good stuff let r buck

[@bonsaibrian]

That thing is crazy!!!

[@MrDirtD]

well, yeah sure its fast: but I don't see it splitting 'em, so how cool could it really be...

[@flyinasscritter]

hell if i had it id use it for that too

[@daguialacosdetudoumpouco8885]

Olá bom dia meu querido Bravo parabéns 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💖💖💖

[@BradleyBrandFurnitur]

Awesomely cool machine. Not that efficient compared to a gang saw though, but that's just boring...

[@AStanton1966]

Looks sweet. Any added charge for the saw dust?

[@wspycher100]

With equipment like this around takes probably hour and a half with a chainsaw and cuts are all different. 10 minutes max with a processor and there all same length

[@HarvesterForwarderMore]

Very cool!

[@carl450r]

yes you can ajust any length you want

[@robertwent4859]

That's fricking cool

[@Squarerig]

How long have machine like this been in operation?Who invented them and when?

[@DSharpVII]

That tool he's using is called a feller buncher. It's used for logging; it cuts the tree, rips off the branches, and stacks the logs in piles. Using it to cut firewood is a bit more than a bit excessive. Works though...

[@andrewbarr1017]

Dear Carl. Approx how many tonnes per hour can you process like this? Cheers Brad

[@troymeredith9936]

Nice video.Now that's just cheating!.lol.i still get a kick out of going and cutting my own firewood with my old ms 460 still.

[@Mickr4]

Well... Not his first time operating this thing... That's what's quite apparent to me..

[@affromma]

Looks like a "zero sum game" to me.

[@raincoast2396]

Raiding the wood chipper pile for some firewood?

[@pusherpilot]

Dude can run the he_ _ out of that machine.

[@dsnicker9719]

Looks like a PITA.

[@snubblaren]

How many liters per hour does the machine want when you cut firewood with it?

[@nikspan4786]

The Terminator got Alzheimer's.

[@morrisrichard50]

For as wet as the ground is, how come you do not burn the stuff you throw away? Or chip it like some other companys do!

[@jaxnaturals]

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.

[@tomsteve3804]

not cost effective to save seconds

[@jaxnaturals]

+tom steve its not about saving seconds , you will save hours. Also the more you move anything, the more it will break. conveyors are a lot cheaper to fix than the hydraulics.

[@tomsteve3804]

IF it was a production firewood job, but I highly doubt that is the case here.theres no way all them logs cut into firewood could bring the price they would as they are. justa guy cutting some firewood and not in a production setting. so it would just save seconds. I will stick to my opinion of not cost effective to save seconds.

[@jaxnaturals]

+tom steve if it not production, why the heck would you spend that kind of money on this piece of equipment? ????????

[@tomsteve3804]

maybe, just maybe his production is making the big piles of logs in the backthat get sent to different mills and not firewood production? idk, I could be wrong. its beena few years since ive worked logging and maybe now they chop it all up into firewood.

[@30CalCoreLokt]

now thats just cheating!! firewood is supposed to warm you up twice! when you burn it and when you process it! haha.

[@scoobygregwrx]

Very true! I bet this machine operator is fat and lazy hahaha! Get ya axe out and put some sweat in to it!

[@wspycher1006]

No it's called being a logger and smart

[@joshseidman]

I wonder how many chords until it pays for itself? Including operating costs? I bet you the 10,000th chord is the break even point. But with a setup like that you could cut that in less than a year.

[@carl450r]

the problem would be the resource because it miss

[@MrSaemichlaus]

Why do you cut off the ends? Wetness?

[@1234crazydude]

can you set this machine to cut at 16 inch lenths? so it automatically stops at 16 every time?

[@stegmater]

Sorry man, this is not a firewood processor. A processor splitt the wood too. This was a waste of enegy for cutting some wood. A fast firewood processor will cut and splitt the wood at almost the same time, and for a lot less energy.

[@flaimdancer]

I have to agree with you, this is not a processor. Just a debarker, no way gettin around it.

[@MrSanteeclaus]

When your done playing come by the house cut some of this stuff of ours

[@carl450r]

yes the next load i keep them i was doing that just because it wont mesure it by the end of the log need to finish whit the chainsaw

[@saludahead]

Nope! Don't split it!

[@nateberry2]

Where was this filmed at?

[@jdmhondadude21388]

pretty dam cool but its not that efficient as a processor i'd say, you can just hear how much fuel that thing is burning, cant forget the routine maintenance on that thing.

[@carl450r]

dont know i will never try it because that was not made for it but to make your own firewood its the best thing

[@leroybullied7705]

it doesn't split too

[@tiffgt5389]

OMG! wouldn't take a bigger engine for these toothpicks?

[@travisoliver6349]

nice job. wish you would cut me 5 or 6 cords! hahaha

[@snubblaren]

And how many m3 of firewood can you produce per hour?

[@KingDeramo]

It don't split or stack

[@MrRobban1234]

what kind of forwarder is that? a yellow deere?

[@carl450r]

yep a yellow deere a 2004 i think last year they make it yellow 1410d

[@MrRobban1234]

ok nice!

[@chippyjohn1]

i havnt operated machinery like this, im sure it would be faster than a chainsaw. my question is why trim the end of most of the logs and why discard the last bit, why not just chuck it in the trailer

[@MrCojack1983]

So awesome!

[@Chuck88keys]

Ok ok So what is the point to all of this? I don't care about the toys Wondering why green unseasoned softwood is going to be trucked somewhere.....and.........................How much does that trailer hold?

[@dragonhot15]

vous etes sur un lot privée ?

[@TreeOfLifeCG]

I liked the video.

[@carl450r]

in a day of 10 hrs if i do just that i would produce 60 cords in 16 inch one cord here is 8`x4`x16 inch its about 1 truck and a half

[@carl450r]

maybee rare the processor to take them in the pile...an option that normal firewood processor don't have...

[@carl450r]

because it w'ont mesure it till the end because the mesuring Wheel is betwen the rollers

[@dbest1aVlogs]

N what do u charge a him for that wood?

[@roadsidebomb1]

Why do you use it so rougly??

[@wspycher1006]

What do you mean rough???? You do realize this is forestry equipment that processor get double to triple that abuse if it is felling and processing in the block. That's easy work for them. They are built to take a lot of abuse

[@roadsidebomb1]

I drive forest machine for living...

[@arnoldcustom]

roadsidebomb12 your most likely the one be side me doing 30 to 50 cord an 8 hour shift, well were doing 125 to 150 cords

[@noahater5785]

The pieces you are cutting off and loading into the trailer look way too small to be usable as firewood

[@carl450r]

heuhhhh wrong....600 000$ machine and like i already said there's no hell of a chance that we do that to get our pay this was my personal firewood...

[@DiamondBlawk]

Imagine if your arm got stuck in that...

[@MrMjym]

how about the wasted wood

[@carl450r]

if you wanne keep it i gave it to you :) same thing for the saw dust

[@MrMjym]

carl450r yap i burn every thing

[@joradcliffe565]

If it grows and can be cut and dried, it gets burnt in my solid fuel stove. But one needs to enjoy gardening to justify the time taken.

[@79pejeperro]

+MrMjym I´d gather every piece

[@tregforsyth1969]

Ya..right, that would last one day if you were trying to make money and pay bills and payroll, no market for branches.

[@stevenrichey8268]

to much waste of wood for that

[@carl450r]

didn't check but surely between 20-25

[@mikewarren5262]

Cant burn the last cut

[@MrMonnster]

so expensive firewood

[@FootballFanatic960]

This is sweet o_o
