Honestly I wouldn't even split about everything you put through there. I deal with a lot of big oak (24" - 36") and we heat 100% with a big indoor stove. So if it's 6" - 8" or smaller it probably doesn't get split at all so that thing really seems like a waste of money for my type of application. Those small splits just burn too fast and I hate to get up all night lol

Joe great video ,that unit puts out the wood .For my operation and wood supply i need a machine that does 18" and down diam that would do 75% of the wood i get. I have been looking at the brute force 14-24 withe optional engine up grade and the up grade to handle bigger wood, live deck ,longet conveyor ,hyd oil cooler, 4 and 8way .Did you finance any part of your japa .was just wondering if it makes sense to finance a small part of the purchase. thanx for any help you can offer Andrew The Wood Guy.

I did not finance. I paid with the proceeds of my firewood sales. Please look at the Blockbusters before you make your purchase. They have my OWB Seal of Approval (tm) lol. Ask for Tim and tell him Joe sent you. I think financing makes total sense which allows you to keep your $$ in the bank, buy logs etc. I think a $500 payment is certainly doable for the production you will enjoy. Joe

Joe, I love these videos! I hope you don't mind, I have a bunch of questions: At 11:10 (and again at 15:20) you cut off a small piece - maybe 8". Was that because the machine can't hold a 24" long log and cut off 16"? Do you have a tape measure along the loading conveyor that shows you how much to cut off (or even just a mark at 16" so you run the butt end to there) so the next to last piece is the short? You also seem to have quite the pile of shorts and oddballs - what do you do with them? Finally, what is your tolerance - if there is 15" left to you split and sell? 14"? 17-18". As I've told you, I have plenty of wood. This looks therapeutic and much easier on my back that the way I do it now.
@ohiowoodburner3 жыл бұрын
Hi Glenn. The machine is set up to make 16" cuts. If the log will be too long I make an off-cut which is the short peice you see me toss. All off cuts, uglies etc go to my wood shed for our OWB. Nothing gets wasted. I will let a 15" piece make it into inventory but any shorter it goes to the woodshed. Consistent cuts make for high quality, value added firewood. There is a tape measure on the back side of the infeed that is difficult to see on camera but I have to squat to see where the back end of the log is on the mark. From there I cut off the excess and it gets tossed. I am then left with a 16" log to run into the splitter.

Hi Joe - it's Big Rodders again. You've raised an issue that I wasn't aware of - the ability or necessity to alter the chain speed. If you are going to do a similar video in the future I would greatly value an insight into setting the speed appropriate for different woods and also close up coverage of the control levers in operation.

Todd.. I got a guy that delivers me logs in a dump trailer about the same size as Joe's trailer.. I found him on Offerup. Since we don't have much oak here in Washington State he knows thats what I want and I am on it when he sends me a text.. There are also a few guys around me with dump truck too.. So just a thought..

Joe, you might consider add an extension on your wood where sawdust come out to get it away from the machine, it comes out all over the fuel tank, wheel, etc.
@ohiowoodburner3 жыл бұрын
To be honest I use my mini dump trailer. You can see it in some of the shots. We pulled it away from the machine for this vid so my daughter could film around the back of the machine easier. There will still be a lot of sawdust that hits the ground but it is easy to scoop up. Joe

@ohiowoodburner3 жыл бұрын
Hi Dusty. So I haven't calculated anything in depth but I do keep track in my head. I have a ways to go to break even since my supply this summer went dry. If you get to know me I am not very good with numbers and after 22+ years in the corporate world I am kinda in a rebellious stage to "doing business accounting" so I have been avoiding that. I had worked with an accountant back n the summer and found it depressing lol. This would be a good video though about the costs, opportunities of a processor. I will put it on the list. Joe

Hi Dusty - it's Big Rodders in Ireland. Forgive my ignorance as I am a simple Irishman. What does ROI mean in relation to wood processing. I have sat here by my stove mulling over the mystery - could it mean Return on Investment? Talk me through the ins and outs of the topic. As I say every day - "every day is a school day".
@dustyholt16423 жыл бұрын
@@rodneysweetnam8653 you are correct Return on Investment. Some employers will require an estimated ROI when you submit a request to purchase a new piece of equipment. Its used as justification for purchasing big ticket items especially within the government. I always like to kick around the numbers on my personal purchases like that. My ROIs are sometime low, so I dont tell my wife. Lol Looks like Joe's Japa would be a cash machine (high ROI) for someone in his line of work. Thanks for the question. Stay safe. Dusty

@ohiowoodburner3 жыл бұрын
Thanks Dave. I have about 10 chains for this machine so I just swap out. A chain lasts about 5-6 cords. I think they last so long because they are cutting under ideal conditions...never hit the ground etc. You can tell when the chain dulls bc it starts to cut like garbage. In one of my older vids I have some shots cutting with a dull chain. Joe
