A FIREWOOD PROCESSOR Like You've NEVER Seen - The Japa 405 Perfect Split

A FIREWOOD PROCESSOR Like You've NEVER Seen - The Japa 405 Perfect Split.
While at the Paul Bunyan show I got to see the Japa 405 firewood processor in action. It's a firewood processor with a built in box wedge and shaker deck system. It is called the Perfect Split and Perfect Clean and it is really like no other firewood processor out there.

Dan, thank you so much for making this video and for hanging out with us at the Paul Bunyan Show. Looking forward to working with you in the future!

[@coreym5072]

Will you guys please please make a pizza wedge for this machine. I have 40-60 restaurants around me that cook with wood and I can only hand split so much. Missing out on a huge market

[@Back40Firewood]

You're very welcome! Was a great time being down there with you guys, looking forward to the next time! 👍 😀 🍻

@@coreym5072 What size does it need to be? 8 way gets it down to almost 2.5 inch by 3 inch at the largest pieces. Keep in mind a lot of what is produced will be smaller than that yet. I’ll put the 8 way in our 435 next week, make a video, and share the results. Stay tuned.

hi up there good show . john

[@larrykluckoutdoors8227]

Very nice machine

[@ohiowoodburner]

I think your title pretty much sums it up Dan! Dynamite machine.

[@Back40Firewood]

It really is a heck of a machine...would be interesting to see how the 6 way box wedge performed and the splits it made. Think it'd be Perfect Size.....Perfect Split, Perfect Clean, Perfect Size...lol 👍 😀 🍻

[@jakebredthauer5100]

@@Back40Firewood If six-way box-wedge performed well, that is the one that would have been in the machine at the show. I am just speculating. Perhaps five bottom openings would be better than 4 or 6.

NICE MACHINE

[@drmautz]

Nice

[@harryellingsworth8302]

WOW that is a Machine, so is Bob taken to the Back 40 after the show so you can demo it for 6 months or so, lol, Game changer for anyone who needs production.

[@Back40Firewood]

Hahahaha....nope, not heading to the Back 40. Definitely a game changer with that box wedge option, and the cleaner deck. 👍 😀 🍻

[@sawdustacres]

I WILL be there next year, too many toys to miss seeing. Well, seein' you guys too..

Beautiful machine takes wood processing up to another level

[@jamessanders4310]

You need a 12 way wedge. Not near as much carnage. Chris “In the wood yard” just got one. It’s sweet!

[@russbatzer6970]

Did i just see the next addition to my woodyard? Wow 💯👌

[@armandshighlife]

Wicked unit! Need one of these in my wood yard! Thanks for the video of this beast

great machine Dan i will have to check them out when they come out with a diesel or gas motor i like how metsa stands behind their equipment

You're welcome...yes, heck of a machine! 👍 😀 🍻

[@IndianaDoug]

I didn’t get really good footage of the Japa, but I saw it working, really nice!👍🏻

[@Back40Firewood]

Yeah I saw it earlier in the day and it looked really interesting. Then came back when they were running it and was really impressed with it. 👍 😀 🍻

[@ScottyLo]

Impressive peace of equipment. An electric one would be great as you mentioned in the video. Much quieter and more efficient.

[@dantheman9852]

Definitely a nice machine. The family and I were right there lol. Was gonna say hi but you were busy lol. Great video.

[@Back40Firewood]

Ohh dang, ya should've just put your foot out & tripped me or gave me a kick in the a** Hahahahaha...I was in a bit of scramble mode trying to capture enough from different angles for the video. 👍 😀 🍻

You must of took a lot of videos at the Paul Bunyan

[@Back40Firewood]

lol...this is the last of them. After this I ended up not getting anymore footage unfortunately. 👍 😀 🍻

[@traviscover590]

This was really cool buddy this giuys did a nice jop on this firewood good jop on your video i am doing ok love your videos buddy

[@stevehawkins8066]

Great video. I wonder which KZbin channel will be the first to get to show case the JAPA 405 on their property. That's an awesome firewood processor. With that machine, you would just have to worry about where you would 🪵 stack all the firewood you just made.

[@Back40Firewood]

Yep, you'd need plenty of room for stacking...lol...cuz you'd have a pile in no time at all. 👍 😀 🍻

[@kplvnejp]

Joe with OWB will probably be the first to get one

[@jakebredthauer5100]

@@kplvnejp Joe should try it, may not like it. Price is high. Wood is roughed. Maybe Joe does not have access to big logs.

[@kplvnejp]

@@jakebredthauer5100 Joe already has the Yapa 365 Pro and the Yapa dealer has already been to his wood yard to return his jacket from the show and they were making hints about him upgrading his processor.

[@jakebredthauer5100]

@@kplvnejp Joe should try the Japa 405 but he should also, at the same time, keep the one he has. Like they say, do not give up your day-job. Then, he will likely decide that the Japa 405 is not the appropriate model for Ohio Woodburner. If his 365 has significant wear on it, he should then try to sell it. If he is able to sell it, contingent on being able to replace it, then he should buy a new model 365 with no wheels. Because he has that tractor, he could also skip the engine if he wanted to.

[@tonyr6190]

That's pretty cool machine little hesitant on the shaker unless they have documented hours without repairs

[@Back40Firewood]

Not sure on how many test hours they've run through the Perfect Clean system, looked like it was built pretty solid. Cool machine indeed. Hope all is going good for ya buddy. 👍 😀 🍻

[@timthompson5885]

That is definitely the cats ass lol!! I think the woodyard would look really good with one of them in it hahaha!! Iam sure there's a hefty price tag on them but if you pump out enough wood it wouldn't take long to pay it back!! Stay safe my friend!! 🍻🍻👍

[@micstraitee01]

How long is the conveyor belt ? The one carrying the split wood not the kindling.

[@TheDriftlessHomestead]

That looks pretty cool. I wonder what the cycle time is? Also what they claim the cords per hour. Good job.

[@thejacobsonproject]

I should have asked you to bring me back a few duffel bags full of sawdust for my compost toilet! No shortage of that stuffs down there. Very cool machine they created. What’s the price tag on that thing??

[@garykwiatkowski4903]

This is a awesome machine. My question is : how can I split single logs? Do I have access to say split 24", 30" single logs??

[@jakebredthauer5100]

I don't know what you mean.

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Very nice machine! When are you getting one? 🤣 👍🏻👍🏻B 🆒

[@Back40Firewood]

LOL....well, I'd have to really expand the woodyard first. 👍 😀 🍻

[@haroldwhite7202]

How would a tractor work there with the junk conveyor

[@josevelasco3245]

Japa can patent the box wedge with return arm just because no one put on a processor? Hmm...or is the actual design of their entire system with the box wedge, log detector, and return arm with the shaker patented? It definitely is impressive with nice wood coming out.

[@healyfamily4]

[@leokelly359]

while this new way of splitting wood is great but 40 years ago my grandfather used to teach me a lesson on how to take care of myself and family by having me split firewood so we could stay warm. now that I'm a grandfather how am I supposed to instill that lesson in my grandson? just messing with ya the machine is awesome

[@Back40Firewood]

Hahahaha...yeah might be a bit different form of that lesson now a days. Still a valuable lesson to be taught & learned! 👍 😀 🍻

Seems if a multi split head was in there, time, fuel and wear and tear on machine would be greatly reduced. IDK. Decent processing.

[@sloth9669]

The real question …… what’s does it cost?

HAY ( D ) BET I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GONNA GET... HMMMMM... SWEET LIL RIGGIN I'LL SAY... STAY COOL MY BROTHER...😎✌

Max diameter 16 inches. I am seldom dealing with a tree that small. Other than that, nice machine

[@Lifeinthe906]

How many bundles ya think you gotta sell to pay for that awesome machine??🤣🤣

[@jakebredthauer5100]

That is so cute how the sawdust is shot out and piled under the engine for a conflagration.

[@kplvnejp]

Why are those Amish guys looking at that firewood processor? They can’t have modern equipment.

[@thefirewooddoctor]

Many Amish communities allow gasoline powered equipment. They just can't have equipment that drives. They use hay balers with small gasoline engines on them ti run the machine but pull it with draft horses.
