Amazing NEW FIREWOOD PROCESSOR! Time to let her Rip REX600X From Australia

[@davebrown626]

Always liked making firewood and have heated my home and shop with it for 30 years now. Where this machine shines is larger blocks. I have had a farm friend who I convinced to buy a smaller but very efficient firewood processor years ago, but limited to 19” logs. Which is good for me because because he now gives me anything larger that he can no longer lift onto a wood splitter. This machine would work great for that. Although, I live near Perth Ontario in Canada and Eastonmade and Cord King make some of the best firewood processors and splitters anywhere. Shop local if you can. Love all your videos. Keep it up.

[@robsnyder2461]

Ok, so our house in Michigan was heated with an outdoor wood boiler, we went thru about 10 cord to heat the 3600 sf house plus about 3 cord to burn in the fireplace per year(her favorite thing to do in the winter) just so i didn't spend every weekend of my spare time cutting and splitting wood, i bought a wood beaver processor with a log deck, i got a 10 cord truckload of logs and with me feeding the log deck with forks on the tractor my wife operating the controls tow people stacking, we could cut split and stack 10 cord in 7 hours, we did it several times with two people at the end of the conveyor stacking as it come off the end, that processor cost me 16,000 new, i used it for 8 years and sold it for 10K, we then moved to Tennessee! we moved 4 years ago, my point is you can get a cheaper processor to process logs to firewood cheaper! great content Mike god speed!

[@digitalshredda251]

All those words just to make a simple point? Nobody cares!

[@sawz20]

Mike you’re becoming the Parker Schnabel of the wood business!!!

[@bwillan]

That's an interesting comparison.

[@Sventy11]

For a firewood processor, it seems a little counterintuitive to have to load it with cut rounds. Seems more like a glorified log splitter. Nice machine though!

[@jmalone2758]

I dont care too much for the not seeing whats being split on the backside.

[@jacobgarcia8224]

I don't even think you can call it a processor. It's an expensive splitter. A processor in my mind would "process" a log. Buck to length and split. A splitter just splits.

[@randolph7317]

@@jmalone2758 I agree, leaning forward and uncontrollable splits, probably great for massive rounds though

[@burnedagain6187]

Felt that it should have indicator of location of perpendicular splitters!

[@4wheelliving132]

@@burnedagain6187 You can see where they are on the front by looking at the rivets facing the operator

[@MrBsizelove]

I see two things I’ll mention 1. There needs to be lines painted on the main wedge to indicate where to line up with the blades on the back side 2. Nothing there to block a fly away if a knotty stubborn round POPS suddenly and a large projectile comes flying toward the operator. Meanwhile both hands are grasping “safety” handles.

[@TreeBuds]

thinking the same, also pieces seem bigger than Mikes norm

[@ededdy2095]

If you look at the blade the rivers indicate where the wedge is

[@ArnieD17]

Creative solutions to two non-existent problems. 1 the blades are marked. 2 the way the splitting wedges are designed they split away from the operator. 3 it is impossible to make everything 100 % safe.

[@haroldphipps3457]

​@@ArnieD17💯 % correct! Nice post!

[@Ethan-he9nb]

I agree. Having both hands tied up isn't safe in my opinion. Also not sure how you can consider it a processer

[@randolph7317]

Hey Mike, wow, that’s a monster! The only negatives I see is the lean forward to feed logs and lack of control on size of splits. And cost of course but I’m sure it fits into someone’s operation!

[@jasonharris1877]

I thought there were definitely pieces that went to the conveyor that were bigger than he would typically let go. But with that design you can't see them until it is to late.

[@jonathankeith2547]

After following your channel for the last 3 or 4 years, it is great to see you demoing a machine that I am very familiar with. Whitlands Engineering make quite a variety of splitters and wood processing equipment, the Rex 600 and 900 are serious commercial units design for large scale firewood production. They also make a domestic range called the SuperAxe which is available in a number of sizes; we run the WS4150 which has a hydraulic liter and elevator, it has a similar capacity to your Wolfe ridge, but has a very high splitting pressure. From watching your channel and seeing how easily the Rex handled your wood, I believe many of our Australian Hardwoods must be much tougher than what you normally work with. My son does a lot of repair and maintenance work for a wood yard, and sometimes operates a 30 tonne excavator out where they are harvesting. That Rex600 is quite capable of 60 cubic metres of split wood a day, thats over 3 chords in antiquated speak! Probably the biggest fault with the Rex series is the noisy Diesel engine mounted right beside the operator, it would be better mounted on the back behind the hopper, between the axles on that model. The reason it is on the drawbar is that they make a model that is $10,000 cheaper that does not have the hopper, but instead has a lifter arm and is less than half the length. My son has also rubber mounted the engines on a couple which takes all the rattly vibration away. Incidentally that exact model in Australia is AU$65,000 which is about US$40,000, you are paying a big import cost. Enjoy playing with it, they are a great machine which hold their value.

[@lonniechartrand]

For those that are complaining about the slow cycling of the cutter need to keep in mind that though the return may be slower than some splitters, the time is made up in the handling of the logs with the conveyor and roller table system. This alone makes up more than enough for the slow cylinder return. Plus, as Mike said, it is so much easier on your back! And the price may seem expensive to the "recreational firewood cutters", but is not that bad for the "professional" cutters that are doing this to supplement income. And don't forget the tax write offs for business equipment. And one person commented that this was a "failed system. $65,000" and that was it. No justification or explanation on their part as to why they thought this. It would help your argument if you would explain, unless you do not have any expertise in this retort. The only misnomer I see is in calling it a firewood processor in the terms that we think of. What I see is an ADVANCED FIREWOOD SPLITTER. Nice video Mike! Though this is a machine that does not suit my purpose I love to see what is available. Merry Christmas Mike, Melissa, and and the rest of the family! HAVE A DAY!

[@barrymacokiner9423]

One thing I would be concerned about it you don’t get a second chance to check the size of the split wood. If you push the round a little to far you can get pieces bigger than you want

[@chrisjansen3232]

I agree, I think cutting wedge could be configured a little different but awesome machine. If they made a hopper and conveyor to be used with other machines that would upgrade your wolf ridge. The H/C keeps the one man band more efficient and probably more cost efficient. Merry Christmas to you all Mike.

[@PDeker]

I agree with you 100%, It was the first thing I noticed from the first split. I figured they thought about reversing the blade, but that would mean pushing 4 pieces of wood off the table. They definitely need to work on that.

[@MountJoyPa]

its a failed system 65,000$

[@seanbryk7285]

Maybe some wedges on the front side of the blade?

[@PabloP169]

If you are that concerned about the size produced then it isn't the machine for you.

[@oleberg4196]

That is a beast. The great thing about it is how easy it is to control the size of the splits. The farther you push the block in, bigger pieces, not so far ,smaller pieces. I like it. The hopper idea is fantastic.

[@johnevans4015]

Merry Christmas from Tasmania Australia We also have wood splitters that you put 4 foot rounds in on there edge and it splits a section off the bottom with 7 knives and then drops down and just keeps going until it is gone. We had a lens of one and feeding with a digger we could split 8 tone an hour. Dad and I would cut rounds for a day and then split it the next and that was 22 tone that did us for the year We make tough gear in oz Just think of us as the southern state Regards from Australia 🇦🇺

Great Video Mike, just a quick note to say that the bar under the belt on the outfeed elevator is not supposed to be there while in use. Its job is to stop the belt dropping on the ground when the elevator is being packed up for transport. good job.

[@IBAdrianHarris]

Merry Christmas Mike, Melissa and family. Excited to see the REX600, they are manufactured not too far from us here in Victoria. The wood processing products Whitlands Engineering make have an incredible reputation here, their "Super Axe", which is a vertical splitter (I don't know if it was the first vertical splitter - but certainly made well before many that you now see) is highly regarded and they last forever. Not uncommon to see ones that have split thousands of tonnes of wood come up for sale - and sell for not much less than a new one. Their products are really great with our very hard wood, but also the size (and weight) of them - our eucalypt trees have very substantial trunks, they grow in every which way, and horizontal splitters/processes aren't really feasible to work with the weight/size of the rounds. Also, in case you wanted to know. The hat you were wearing is pronounced Ah-coo-bra - well renowned stockman hats.

[@JohnDiMartino]

It’s a nice unit ,it seems to me that for that kind of coin it should have a log table/ saw or a self splitting setup. The 37 hp yanmar is a great engine,I’m sure a good amount of the cost of the machine is due to that engine, 37 diesel hp sure seems excessive to me considering there’s no hydraulic saw , or log table to use hydraulic hp,basically all it’s running is the conveyor which takes 5-6 hp at best ,and the splitting cylinder,which as you know can easily be done w 16-18 hp . That’s a very low duty cycle on that big engine.Anyone with a tractor or skid loader would want to load logs not rounds into a processor. It’s definitely a heavy built, nice machine but it doesn’t do much more than your 20 k units like you said. The slight increase in speed doesn’t offset the addition cost and size of the unit in my mind anyway, you used it so you are the better person to judge that . Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you and your family .

[@ranmarks6739]

Absolutely correct but as Mike said the add on would be a saw and this way the extra power consumption of the saw wouldn't mean needing another engine... I think...

[@WoodchuckCanuck]

@@ranmarks6739 I think you are correct on that. Besides, better to have more than just enough.

[@ManAndMachines556]

The thing to remember is American woods are as soft as butter. Most American splitters would fold in half on Australian hardwoods. Dry yellowbox is next to impossible to split with an axe. Hence the extra hp.

[@jamesjamesd9556]

It seems to me that the REX makes a little more randomly sized sticks, some quite large. I could see using this machine for fireplace wood that folks might want a little larger, the Wolf Ridge for stove wood where consistent moderately sized wood might be preferred and the Split Force for bundle wood that's small and very consistently sized. A triple-threat operation! 👍🏼

[@JasperFromMS]

I would like to see how it handles monster wood. I think that unit may be good for a tree service, as you say. They could get some value out of big chunks or Ys that would otherwise end up in a landfill. It would also be good at salvaging storm debris, which is something I know a little about.

[@JasperFromMS]

Oh, I forgot the most important thing. THANK YOU! As you say, your are providing a valuable service to the dealer and you would be absolutely correct in accepting payment for your services. But you don't. You pass it along. I agree that it is best to pasMis one's blessings along whenever you can. So good job and Merry Christmas!

[@ishure8849]

G'day Mike, I know the owner of that company their about ninety minutes North East of us, Some of the wood that machine is designed to process can't be split; but by the nature of it's design it will cut it into form. You have in your hands a splitter developed to process the hardest wood on Earth. Merry Christmas to you and Melissa 👍.

[@ManAndMachines556]

It is hard for Americans to grasp just how hard Aussie wood is. Whiteoak is softer than our Cyprus which is considered a softwood. Our Box woods will eventually break alot of American splitters

[@ishure8849]

G'day epic, it's broken me 👍.

[@jrmorrissey207]

Nice machine. I had seen them online and wrote it off a few years ago since they were in Australia. Nice to see a dealer in the USA. The blind splitting is something you'd get used to. Maybe paint some lines on the back of the blade indicating exactly where the front outward facing blades are located. Great choice for a review. Pairing this machine with a Split force would be a nice way to clean up any bigger splits and resplit whatever is necessary. You'd just need to work out how to convey it all. Maybe one conveyor into the other and you pull the bigger stuff out. Not sure.

[@fricknjeep]

hi there I was just telling mt friend Jeff last night about this splitter , i saw it at the Paul B show ,It was the best one at the show , Uses my table method but with a manure feeding chain , i also did a video of it ,I liked the design for several reasons , does not make as much trash . nice unit , Merry Christmas to all John

I don't know all of the types of trees/wood Australia has but one is eucalyptus and it is one of the hottest and hardest types of firewood you can burn. Trees grow fast and can regrow somewhat after cutting. Great video.

Looks like a good way to handle rounds that can’t go through a traditional processor. There are a lot of places in the country that don’t have straight trees and you have to cut them into rounds by hand anyway.

[@bwillan]

This seems to operate as a vertical box wedge. Would be good for those big tree service rounds to make boiler wood. It appeared that Mike didn't have much control over split size when he was splitting 2 rounds at a time. Certainly a well built machine. I just wonder why they chose to make 2 separate machines (log saw and the splitter) to make a firewood processor.

[@markblakeway80]

9:45 am Christmas morning. Our hangi (in ground cooked meal, much like an umu) is about to go in then 2 and a hours later munch up. Merry Christmas to everyone , be safe from New Zealand 🇳🇿

[@danquirke443]

Don't get me wrong. I appreciate you showing us the machine. I just don't understand how anyone could justify the cost. It's not a processor. It's a splitter. Your gonna be more physically involved in manipulating rounds with that than you would with the split force. It would be interesting to see them produce side by side and see if it can come close to 3× the production to begin to justify the cost. I understand that it's purpose is to handle large rounds that a true processor couldn't but I just don't see it paying for itself in any scenario.

[@SeeSaw72]

I agree. An expensive log splitter.

[@TRAVISGOLDIE]

If your splitter can split aussie hardwoods id agree. But id like to see that tested

[@NHHalKnowsHow]

That seems like a solid machine but I think the weak point would be the belt you dump the chunks onto. There should be something else they land on and then maybe slide down in order to keep from ripping that belt. Other than that, I believe the Aussies nailed it!

[@raysheila8568]

Hey Mike, it’s been a fantastic year. Thanks for all of your videos throughout the year and sharing all of your hard work. I enjoyed every one of the videos. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@jelinektreeservice]

That intrigues me being a tree service. We more often than not are getting logs that are not straight or long enough to be put on a conventional firewood processor efficiently. This would be slick for that. And splits way faster than a horizontal splitter.

[@UrbanaWoodProject]

Hi Mike, when you toured the machine I was a bit worried about that primary feed belt. Does it seem like it'll take damage from dumping the rounds on it? I guess you could try to make sure the rounds always fall onto the steel sides. I just seems like that belt would be the first thing to need replacing on that machine.

[@nevillekinsley5610]

They should paint lines where the splitter blades are at the opposite side so you could line the rounds up.

[@haroldphipps3457]

There are 3 bolt heads or rivet heads there already. Waste of time to add anything else.

[@chuckpreston4981]

Not only that, but painted lines would all too soon be rubbed off from friction.

[@ronaldferino3414]

Have to watch a few more video's on this splitter to form any opinion kind of hard to get a feel for it in the video. Guess I'll have to go to the Paul Bunyon show to see it in person. Have a Very Merry Christmas, will be looking forward to more of this machine.

[@wallyinthewoods]

None of us are getting any younger and this eliminates humping logs onto the lift to table. Veryimpressive power and hopper feeder. It’s a glorified version of your current set up, only, it looks like a reach over the table that might wear on your back. Shorter people might find that more of an issue. Depending on how you position this set up, the new 32’ conveyor could still be a help in conjunction with provided conveyor. Love that hopper feeder. Your pavillion set up may not jive with the machines orientation, so I guess your placement of machine is what it is. If you had it permanently maybe placing it behind bunker and build a covering? Or does the terrain drop off behind bunker? Anyhow… random thoughts, always enjoy your stuff.

[@barryhoneycutt3894]

Very nice machine Mike. I would like to see it with the saw hooked up, and how that works. It will make many people a great tool for firewood that's for sure. Thanks for sharing, also you said something about stepping up your fire wood production, maybe this machine would be for that.. ty for sharing love the videos.. Say hey to Melissa and the Hunt man for us.. :)

[@iffykidmn8170]

Would have liked to see the bunk filled with a full cord and see how it dumps out on the split table and what stops the rounds from falling onto the ground operator etc etc!

[@Ryanm1565]

Awesome video as always. The only thing this would be good for me would be for boiler wood as it really doesn’t matter the size. But for anything else you can’t grab a bigger piece and resplit it easily

[@jakebredthauer5100]

There is no resplitting needed because the operator can control the size of the splits.

[@jaycroyle8761]

That's a pretty sweet machine, looks like you can just load that hopper end full and go to work. Might take a bit of getting used to but I can see this machine can make a bunch of firewood in pretty short order. Merry Christmas to all the Morgans!! Jay from Pa.

[@LorenWard-y5o]

It looks easy enough to use. My only concerns are not having a full view of all sides of the business end of the splitter & it looks like a long reach to the splitter. What are your thoughts about this?

[@coffeebuzzz]

Iv'e used one of these on some whitegum, also known as wandoo, so this will cut through all of your soft wood there in the US. Whitegum is so dense it sinks in water when its dry, basically impossible to split with an axe.

[@rogeremberson6464]

Impressive piece of equipment, and I like the 2 handed actuation, which keeps your fingers clear of the cutting edge. And the roof is a classic Aussie roof, corrugated tin. It doesn't just keep the rain off you, but helps protect you from the midday sun. I wish you all a very Happy Christmas from an unseasonably warm Brentwood in the UK, it's currently 58 fahrenheit here.

[@GuyTefft-nv9dr]

Mike thank you for another great video. It’s great that you would do videos for new companies that are just starting out. I’m sure there is a learning curve like most anything and from what I was seeing if you want smaller pieces of firewood coming out the back side you just don’t put the rounds in as far on the spitter. Merry Christmas and a very happy new year to you and your family. God Bless.

[@582ChevelleSS]

That's a sweet piece of equipment and engineering. The main take away from watching that video is the ease on your back. I do recall you saying (like me) that over extending weight in front of you can tweak the back. Big money for sure but sure rips through the logs. It's been raining steady up here in Ontario too, if it keeps up I might need to build an Arc :) Merry Christmas to you and Melissa and the kids. It will be nice to spend time with the newborn :) Enjoy and be safe ..

[@LongBinh70]

Nice machine. I own a commercial sawmill and pallet manufacturing business. I’ve been down the same road your on a number of times within production equipment purchases. You’ll be best advised, work half as much, and be much safer if you go ahead and purchase a tree length firewood processing system. Just my 2 cents, but buying the best most productive equipment has always paid for itself within my experiences. When I try to skirt around spending the higher production equipment dollars it cost me more in the long run.

He mentioned twice (at least) the machine is on LOAN to him. He didn't purchase it.

Sorry I'm deaf and missed out that his machine was on loan. Not the end of the world is it.@@haroldphipps3457

Merry Christmas Morgan family

Somehow Tim Allen comes to mind. More Power! The Binford 5,000 firewood processor. Mike has a new favorite toy. I'd like to see you get into a 30" round and see how it does.

Merry Christmas Mike and family. Thanks for a great year of video content. Looking forward to 2024 and trying to be optimistic regarding our lives and state of our country.

Merry Christmas to the Mogan Family and all the subscribers! 🎆

I knew there’d be a processor in your future. Even if it was just a demo. Make sure father in law Ed get down to the wood yard to see this machine. Merry Christmas Mike, Melissa, Hunter, Levi, Hannah, Eva and the dogs.

Mike may be building up to getting a processor but he has not gotten one yet. This is only a splitter with some nice features. It is hard to figure how he thought this was a processor and it is hard to figure how he does not realize that Americans are under attack. The incident with the health of his son should have given him a clue.

What... Yeah we're all "under attack" there Jake So many crazies out there. I should not be reading these comments.

Great initial use and review … btw … who flys the drone when you’re filming from above? Does it fly itself? … “Jimmy don’t like Junk” is a saying we use here in Oklahoma when referring to variable in quality machines and junk …😎
