HUGE FIREWOOD to be used as BOILER wood! -

Another great video done in Kenny's wood yard.. Thanks again Chris for letting us all tag along..😁👍

[@InTheWoodyard]

Glad you enjoyed it Daniel!

[@craigwilson9560]

Chris and Kenny hard at it for the rent! You cannot beat it. That loader works wonders for those rounds and that big table is nice! Nice work at that gentlemans house. Very nice to trade firewood for Ken's firewood storage.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks for always watching Craig!

[@killinskindlingfirewood1851]

Chris, you can’t leave without helping Ken stack all that boiler wood. Another great video. Like watching you guys work together.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yes I can! Ken does not usually stack it either that is not part of the deal!

The song at 4:00 is my new favorite, instead of muh nuh muh nuh. I like how it sounds SLIGHTLY rueful, and how the nice little starry interlude goes.

That log table comes in handy.. but that log lift is probably the best one out there.. picks up the over size effortlessly and double as a finished product carrier... think everyone could use one of them for sure

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yes, you are correct!

Kenny has one of the few John Deere tractors that I see on a video that looks like it actually does work. Most of them are showroom clean and look like someone washed it right before the shoot.

[@InTheWoodyard]

We use our equipment to get stuff done not to drive around looking like we are doing something.

Love Kenny, he cracks me up. Runs the tractor like he stole it! Frankenstein still splitting away, I like the built in work tables.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yes he does, the table is great to have.

[@heymakerphd1982]

Was that Leroy or Frankie running the handle? Amazing how fast he was, left handed and all, working those big chunks!! That splitter is just the right speed for big chunks and 6 hands in the way!! - Since it doesn't seem to matter much about the fw length, you could cut those real big rounds shorter, make 'em easier to load AND split!! As for the tractor, you already KNOW, he does like free stuff!! You're right about the work table. If it was just the slightes bit downhill, it would work like a vibrating conveyor! Easy to add a chunk lift to it!! - I can see now, what an awful PAIN it is to move!! Sympathies!!

That John Deer is one heck of a little tractor. Kenny is one hell of a operator too. Also that Subaru motor on the splitter is a great motor. Had one of the only ones I have ever seen on my old Ariens snowblower which was the 10.0 version. That thing started no matter how cold it was outside with two primes, no choke and 1 pull every time. I think it is better than a Honda in my opinion. Thanks for my morning entertainment guys.

[@robertd.renovator7270]

Good morning gentlemen. Is it safe to assume that this late in the season, the factor that determines how big your splits are is how big a piece can a person comfortably load into that monster? I mean, it seems obvious that the wood you're splitting is almost ready to burn, and for a boiler, the bigger the better to control the burn rate, correct?

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yes and no, the size is determined by how much work we don't want to do! And if it will fit it is good enough!

[@adammoggysawmilling5164]

Ken's splitter is almost identical to mine except mine doesn't have the block table but I'm definitely thinking it needs one now !!

Chris needs a boiler and Ken needs a convoyer. Ken would benifit a lot from conveyor and not so much wear and tear on his tractor. Chris would be able to heat his home and or office with a wood boiler. If I get my new house and shop build I will have a wood boiler. Great video. I bet Chris wood yard is getting lonely since he not been there in a week. LOL take a 1/4 rod and weld along edge of tray and it will keep wood from getting in the way. have a great day be safe

[@rodneysweetnam8653]

Hi Chris - it's Big Rodders in Ireland. There was no steam rising from the Big Bertha splitter, unlike Kenny! His splitter is impressive and proves you don't need massive engines to produce the goods. I split hundreds of cords with a vertical splitter powered by a 9hp Robin engine. Like Kenny, my preference is for a tall narrow knife, regularly sharpened. Even at that speed, if you can keep the ram moving at all times you are producing big volumes of firewood in a more relaxed and safer manner than if the speed was greater.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yes for the average guy that set up works great.

Kenneth, if only you were closer. I’d bring my splitter up for you to run. You would park yours out by the road with a for sale sign. Almost 2900lbs, 4.5 seconds with 30” stroke so about 3 seconds for your length wood and a catch table and log lift platform so big you and your wife could ⏹dance on it. I can probably hold as much of your size wood on my catch table as 1 of your bucket loads. I hate to see men held back by insufficient tools!
