Hi Joe - it's Big Rodders in Ireland. Another interesting video on the routine trials and tribulations of a solitary firewood producer. I was I intrigued to see that the diesel engine runs at higher revs than a gas one. Although perhaps 4000 miles away, I will be with you in spirit on Sat as you reach yet another milestone in your new career as the premier log producer in the great state of Ohio.

[@ohiowoodburner]

Thanks Big Rodders. Ohio today... Tomorrow the WORLD!!!

[@peterferguson5749]

I use the totes at the end of each of the rows to makes it easier to stack, no more making end stops to stack against !

[@ohiowoodburner]

Nice idea Pete!

[@col470]

I've done the same with a complete ibc at the end of a row, fillled with water for fire fighting duties as it gets really dry and hot in these parts, Col from down under.

[@Cinder2008]

Wow! The amount of firewood you processed BY YOURSELF! Nice setup!

[@stevecraig3004]

Great video! Those IBC totes have revolutionized many endeavors such as moving firewood.

[@james5360]

Take an IBC tote and 4 pieces of 1/4 plywood on all four sides, now you have an easy way to store and transport the sawdust and scraps to burn in your shop. Bag up the sawdust and bundle up the scraps for easier handling or box up the scraps. Food for thought

[@elainereid5833]

Nice set up Joe, you’re smashing it! Elaine from Canada here watching you develop your systems and ideas at work. Looks like you’re still having fun with the labor saving equipment and tools. Hope y’all enjoy the “meet and greet”, Best wishes!

[@ohiowoodburner]

Thanks Elaine!!

[@chrisartman6168]

Hi Joe! Thanks for another video in the day of the life of a firewood seller. I’m glad you’re showing us how you’re fine tuning your new yard. I’m slowly starting to utilize some ibc totes as well. I’m going to be moving my ugly pieces of seasoned ash and maple. I didn’t sort out the pieces I didn’t want to bundle in case I sold the whole rack. I stack on pallets by the face cord in racks I made. So now I’m left with about a totes worth of fire wood. I’ll get it out of there and refill with new stuff. Congrats on 20k! I’m looking forward to the live stream. I’ve got to work this weekend so I’m hoping to be able to catch some of it. But I wish I could’ve attended! Thanks again Joe! Have a great day 👍🏻!

Could always get more ibc totes and put your burner wood in them and stack them by burner and use plastic liner as a cover to keep them dry.

[@JoshPiland]

Congratulations on your success! Thank you for sharing-I’ve learned a ton from you, your guests, and your podcast. I can’t make it to Mission BBQ this time, but I hope it’s a good day for all. All the best!

[@ohiowoodburner]

Thank you so much Josh!

[@billypitts6368]

Another thing you can do with the off cuts and the ugly wood is throw them through the chipper. That will help a bit. Great idea on using the IBC tote.

[@ohiowoodburner]

I agree but as long as Im heating the house with wood I will be putting it into that pile!

[@Keith.Zielinski]

Nice setup! The only thing missing is shade and a large fan which you could utilize the power generated from the processor 😎👍

[@ohiowoodburner]

I will get the roof eventually. I have to prioritize it RN. Thanks buddy

[@tpctrash]

Loved the use of the 405. Super fast. I think that’s the way to do the logs that are too big to feed thru the log on the 405. Great video. Great use of the 405. Never saw anyone else use it that way but I always wondered about it. Now I can see it in action.

Good videos Joe, keep them coming!!!.

[@slytrader]

Joe That Japa 405 impresses me as a nice all-around machine. I see other bigger more robust wood processors, but I don't see where they are any better than your Japa 405. I like the fact that is sophisticated and not overly cumbersome. It's the right size for a small yard setup. It looks well-built and engineered.

[@ohiowoodburner]

nice observation Ed. Totally agree with you

[@TCsOutdoors1]

That perfect split system is well, perfect! Great video, thanks for sharing. I think IBC totes would be handy to have around, I'm working on sourcing them for a reasonable price in my area.

Great video! The Japa is an awesome machine. Nice to see you using the IBC totes. They are so versatile. We use them for firewood, rain water collection, and raised bed gardening. Just a suggestion: Maybe a 2 inch receiver carry-all hooked to your ballast box might help out when carrying your fuel cans, chainsaws, firewood, etc. There is a 99% chance that we'll see you on Saturday. And everyone have a great day.

[@ohiowoodburner]

Awesome Joe. Hope to see you guys!

[@savagefirewood]

You definitely have a great set up there brother. 👌🏻🔥🇨🇦

[@ohiowoodburner]

Thanks bud!! It is a lot of fun too👍

[@dalesteffen985]

Use the totes for your bundle wood. Stack it in there and then carry the whole tote to the garage or under shade tree. You can have them split smaller if wanted for bundle wood.

[@ohiowoodburner]

good idea Dale. That is something I was looking at doing!

[@inthebackyardwithdel438]

Very nice machine !

[@ohiowoodburner]

thanks Del!

[@papascruffy]

You got it goin on man! You could give away that tractor 😂 I'd love to have that. Nice setup bud, turns work into fun!

[@ohiowoodburner]

ha ha... I could use another tractor too!!

[@On_The_Farm]

Getting nicely organized. You should use an IBC under the cleaner to catch that stuff. Easy to move them with your tractor. Smarter not harder! Also, the IBC's are 1/3 of a cord. When filled they can weigh up to 1600 lbs. You would never get your truck to take two of them.

[@JCWren]

The 330 gallon totes filled to the top are 1/3 cord. The 275's are (of course) less, although if you overstack them, you can get close to a 1/3 cord in.

[@ohiowoodburner]

I am supposed to get more IBCs so I will be adding that to put under the cleaner. Thanks J&F!!

[@buckinfirewood]

That Perfect Split wood be perfect for my bagging operation!!!

It sure would buddy!!

[@twistedlimb4053]

Nice technique with the picaroon. Kept the point of impact well away from your ankles.

It only has to happen once before you do it the right way everytime LOL

[@twistedlimb4053]

@@ohiowoodburner 🤣🤣🤣

[@circlebmn]

I've acquired over the past year or so a dozen or more IBC...for me they work great to split into off the Axis and then stage for stacking or dumping. With the cost of them now I can't get enough to justify drying wood in them. They are plenty handy though. 😀

[@rodneysweetnam8653]

Hi Circle B - it's Big Rodders in Ireland. I'm with you on that score - I see totes over here advertised for $50, which just makes them uneconomical to consider as seasoning units. I would need 28 of them for one year's consumption!

[@ohiowoodburner]

I agree. Cost is the big deal for them. It would be nice to get a bunch of them for free!!

[@Smiling_mike]

Good job Joe!

[@ohiowoodburner]

Thanks Mike!!

[@guyrivard8613]

Congratulations on discovering IBC Totes. A Fellow fire wood producer who has been to your farm relayed in one of his vlogs almost a year ago (the name I forgot but it was XXXXX Acres, Indiana) that the idea was do everything you could to minimize coming in contact with the wood the least amount of times. Today's shuffle invovled touching the wood the third time when ou threw your product in your small shed.. . .You still have two additional times yet coming when you must transfer the same wood to your grounded rows. If you get a chance drop in on a vlog of Mike with "Outdors with the Morgans" and you will see that withnin a very short time he's got in excess of 36 totes that are (1) totally above ground, (2) logs very well stacked in hs totes and (3) ready at a moments noticed to be placed anywhere, even ready for delivery. It was nice to hear on today's vlog that you may be on you way to simplify your efforts also. Hell Joe, what do I know . . . I'm trying to put a CNC router business of sorts together. Please consider my comments to you in admiration. - - - Guy Rivard

[@ohiowoodburner]

Thanks Guy. I make it a point to not keep track of touches etc. Too depressing for me. LOL

[@johanneslaxell6641]

Someone is making REALLY nice wood = 💵💵💵💵. Regarding delivery in baskets (IBC), could you change to a truck with a Hiab (crane) so that you could deliver in "sacks"? Drive it straight from the Japa into the sacks, dry them and sell them. Then you could easily sell 10", 12", 16", 20" no matter wgat the demand is. That could allso be a version of value added firewood 👍🏼😉😁!

[@lamarjohnson3992]

Have you ever used roundup for your grass control? I recommend it around log piles.

[@ohiowoodburner]

I have it buy haven't used it around my machine yet. Thanks Lamar!

[@obiorah1]

The IBC Totes are a Game Changer, for you to use a your tractor and the Hookeroon, with out bending your back, and putting the wood in the Japa 405 with the box Wedge is a Home Run,

Hi, Joe. My wife and I are anxious to meet you Saturday. Actually, she just wants to know what we will win (ha ha).If you can, please bring a bag of Hickory wood chips for me to buy. Thanks, see you tomorrow.

[@JCWren]

A couple questions for you. Who makes the blue log pick you're using? And have you ever looked into a litter bucket for your tractor? I have a dirt bucket, litter bucket, and forks for L4701, and the litter bucket stays on there 90% of the time, and the forks the rest. I move log rounds in the litter bucket, and it's great for brush and snow (not that I've used mine for snow here in Georgia...). The dirt bucket just doesn't hold enough rounds or brush to be very useful to me, so it's only used on those rare occasions I move dirt or stone. IBC totes are great. The 330 gallon totes are right at 1/3 cord when you fill them to the top and drop a dozen pieces in between the two stacks. The 275's hold close to a 1/3 when you over-stack them, but that makes them a pain to move around. I'm sure you've seen Adam @ Hometown Acres collection of totes.

[@ohiowoodburner]

Hi JC. The blue tool is a Hookaroon made by Logrite. Great company. I have a bucket but I rarely have my grapple off the tractor. Great tool.

[@Deutschehordenelite]

Didn't expect that you would run the diesel that high rpm to be honest

[@nickc7320]

Smaller engines seem to run higher RPMs. My Cummins preferred 1800- 2200. But the smaller generators we were getting in the army a few years back would run at a higher RPMs to avoid wet stacking when under low loads and to get to the power level needed while avoiding extra weight that would be required from adding the extra metal to reinforce the engine to make power at a low rpm.

[@ohiowoodburner]

Yup. That is the designed RPM for the 405.
