As somebody who is new to running these machines it was awesome to see some of the little tricks you’ve learned over the years

[@dalehammonds9494]

Ha Bob good video Joe from Ohio wood burner told me to come and watch your videos

[@garylaszewski7380]

These are such outstanding machines. Lots of wood produced in a short time. Great video!

[@OutsidewithScheib]

Nice demo Bob great to see real time footage with real issues and the way to solve them great all around machine keep them coming brother🤘🏻🤘🏻🍺🍺

Please see some splitting with the biggest machine with the larger logs, your machines are amazing and I so much enjoy watching them work.

Nice video of splitting not so perfect wood. Shows some of the problems that can be encountered while splitting. Have a Safe Day

[@villekairus4560]

nice wood processing Bob!

I've talked to you on the phone . I like the 365 , but I talked to a few guys that could deliver truck loads Of wood the problem I c is the max log is 14 inches. That is not good . I would have a bunch of wood laying around that I could not fit in this machine . Your thoughts.

[@MetsaMachines]

Your options at that point are to either manually cut and split the logs that don't fit, or to get a larger processor. The ideal diameter to run through the 365 is 12-13 inches. That way you have some extra clearance for knots or slight bends. But if you don't have logs that will work in the processor, then there isn't much you can do other than find logs that fit or find a different processor. The 395 does 16 inch diameter logs, so depending on what you have/can get, that might be another option. It comes down to what wood is available in your market.

[@dioncurline3266]

Do you think it's possible to get the splitting head to go up and down automatically by Laser to the middle of the log

[@MetsaMachines]

It is something that is technically possible. However, this machine is all hydraulically driven so the cost to add something like that would be ridiculous. Especially considering how easy it is to adjust the knife height as is.

@@MetsaMachines Well, I understand that X-AIM or the HakkiMultiBlade would be difficult. But linking the wedge to the pusher should be doable. On Regon (smaller brand) they have a freefloating wedge connected to the pusher. That way it is allways at the right hight... Greatlngs from 🇫🇮!

if you wear the paint off of the machine send to me LOL

Hi cameraman.... what do you want to show us? Just put the camera in front of the splitting tool. No need to see the people around. Thumb down!
