LONGEST LOG EVER THROUGH THE EASTONMADE 22MB FIREWOOD PROCESSOR

[@B.E.Greatful]

Good morning, Petoskey here. God bless you Chris keep up the hard work. Your consistency and persistence are inspiring ✝️🙏🇺🇸

I appreciate that, Thanks!!

Cant believe that Bert. Using a shorter log to hold that ridiculous long log in place.... Now theres an operators' operator! So good to see the processor running again. Makes my morning coffee so much better. Go well guys. Cheers from HB NZ

Good morning Chris!!😀😀 Hopefully you have kicked the cold you have. I think I had the same one. It lasted a little over 2 weeks. Thankfully I didn't land in the hospital with it this time like I did last summer. That machine still just amazes me on how much power the splitter has. I have yet to see anything that has stopped it. Sure doesn't take very long with wood that size to make a trailer load. I really enjoy watching you guys running her. I wanted to be your weekend operator because I really enjoyed running it. But mother nature had other plans for me. Keep up the good work guys!! TTYL!!😀😀💚💚 Logger Al

[@MuhaloTube]

Even when you have to coax it through, that machine really makes a lot of wood fast. I'll be interested to see your heater setup. Another idea would be to get a heater core from an old tractor or combine and run some plumbing from the engine. But maybe you don't want to modify Andrew's machine that much 😉 Nice job!

Saw a video clip a few seconds long. Looks like you have a firewood buclet on loan to use! Can't wait to hear how well it works for you in the woodyard. Going to work longer hours at my job to buy more woodyard toys while the work is available. Then take a week off here and there to work on firewood and relax. Sort of like you working photography and your woodyard hard so you can go on hunting trips. Gotta work hard somewhere, somehow, to get the nice toys.

Chris...You have 12 volt power available. I'd get a bus heater that comes with a 12 volt fan and run the coolant from the Kubota through it. That's what a lot of fishing boats use for heat and with the water going through it 190 degrees they put out a whole lot of BTUs.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Good video Let's run the big processor every day.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Ha! Sorry I do not have enough logs for that!

[@timrydman-mr5hp]

Those big chunks make a lot of wood. Splitting that crap shaped wood is still faster and easier than by hand with the small splitter. Nice job.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Great point!

[@FatherOfTheParty]

Had some pallet wood logging done on my property this summer and I've been going through and cutting up and splitting the tops and crooked stuff. Lots and lots of honey locust. As you said, great wood but it's so hard I'm resharpening probably 30% more often. Looks like you need to be an octopus to run that processor!

[@davidcarrow5419]

Good spot to put the ULTRA at the beginning of the conveyor do resplits there that way when the wood hits the trailer its done ready for the bin.when you have help

[@BertsCustomCuts]

It would take 4 more guys and a second ultra to keep up when we get rolling.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, it is a good idea but it is higher than you think so it would mean a lot of lifting high and like Bert said, when we are running good on big wood...3-4 guys would have a hard time keeping up using 2-3 Ultras.

[@lyleharkness-rv5vf]

Maybe use a pole saw to finish the cuts where the cutting bar doesn't go all the way through so you can stay back at a safer distance with better footing?

It really does take 3 or 4 people to run it efficiently. Add in a resplit, and even more people to do it nonstop. Though the resplit could be ran off the main capital machine, as it has plenty of hyd capability. . Anyway, very interesting to see the machine pushed to its size limit, and beyond.

[@Frankzeien]

I was thinking have someone with your splitter at the end as they come out split it then, then toss up the belt, but only in a perfect world 😎.

It is very high and with big wood it would be almost impossible to keep up.

[@lawrencehp1]

Are resplits worth it in terms of time. Or is it more efficient one time with smaller splitter??

Yes they are because I do not sell to boiler people, my customers want small wood (fireplace).

How do you handle the splits that are too big that go up the ramp from the processor. Do you just set them aside as you throw them in the pile. I noticed some of the bigger logs leave big splits on the top.

[@InTheWoodyard]

We toss some back in the splitting chamber but most just go up the elevator and in the trailer and get resplit later.

[@brackenprofaizer2601]

I have a question for you, instead of using pallets for your sides of the bins what if you used ibc totes sense you have access to them. that way you can remove the sides easier you wouldn’t have tie wire in the bins and when you get some wood emptied out you could just pick them up and dump them directly into the trailer when you get to that point hopefully all that makes sense???

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, we have talked about it but I am not a fan of IBC totes, we have tried a few things but it is not a time saver for me...maybe some day we will try it.
