how much $$$ and how long to receive it if I order one . I found a machine like that new with a log deck and lift arm for just under $12,300.00 new with 2 year warranty and can be delivered in a week after purchase.

$21,995 is current price. I have one left as of now but more ordered. I would encourage you to investigate the other processor carefully. First if they are only on wholesale sites where you can't pick up the phone and call someone that's instant concern. We have bought that way and a warranty is promised but you cannot reach anyone. We are brick and mortar company in Cumming GA and able to be reached easily if any issues. All our processors are fully assembled and they get tested with 1/2 cord of wood prior to shipping. Ours is free shipping. The Bossworth processor is a well built processor for the price. There are cheaper ones out there but we try to not carry the cheapest. We carry the lowest price model we can trust but when the price gets too low there is often issues. It is why we test the models we sell to do our best to give you the best machines for the money. Thank you for considering us. Here is the link to the machine listed on our web site. www.chipperllcsales.com/2022-bossworth-fp-500h-27hp-firewood-processor-4-way-6-way-wedge-live-deck-with-conveyor-qiTn.html

seems to work ok how about on some big oak?

[@chipperllctrailersandequip4214]

The reason we did not run larger stuff is even though the manufacturer rates it for 19.5" my experience with processors is and I would tell everyone buying a processor from any brand that trying to run max size firewood through a processor can be frustrating and running crooked and large diameter logs gives you the greatest chance of breaking things so I recommend staying under max capacity. My recommendation is though it is capable of 19.5" around 16" is the ideal max. This is a 22k processor recommended for farm and ranch or light commercial and if you feed it pretty straight wood up to about 16" you are running it in it's comfort zone and you should not have problems. If you want to do bigger wood get a 75k true commercial duty processor. Running big wood in any 22k processor is asking for something to break in my opinion.

That makes sense and thank you for your response where are these manufactured? cords per hr?

[@earthandheavenlandscapinga4850]

They seem to be a copy of the Canadian made wallenstein processor.

@@earthandheavenlandscapinga4850 They are rated at 1.3 cords per hour which is reasonable if you have a second party keeping your live deck loaded and the logs are straight and right diameter. For one guy stopping occasionally to reload live deck and mixed size wood not all perfect stuff I'm happy if my guys get 1/2 cord per hour which is still good money.

It would probably be good to first talk about fuel consumption for one hour of driving. From my experience, it's 7 liters of gasoline for one hour of work. with such an engine. It's a big disappointment for me. There can be no question of a professional machine at all. I speak from experience. I have a BTR 50T/450 with a circular saw and two Lifan V2 27 hp engines. The consumption is extreme, more than 14 liters of gasoline per engine hour. It cannot operate normally. It is economically disadvantageous in operation. I'm sorry sellers, but I don't want the Chinese factories to profit from the stupidity of us all. I ran into it too. Europe

Max burn on that 27HP engine is 1.5 gallons per hour working hard, real world more like 1 gallon per hour but that's a mute point as we are promoting selling in USA and gasoline is $3.22/gallon. Max consumption fuel cost is about $4.83 per hour. That's a very low operating cost at 1 cord per hour to spend around $5 per cord in fuel, but to each his own. Regards
