Running The Halverson 140B - Our Raw, Unfiltered Thoughts On It

This is a chainsaw wielding, wood eating, firewood producing, down-to-business machine that takes full logs and chops them down to perfect firewood pieces - all without the operator having to leave the cab.
In this video, I talk with my buddy John about his Halverson 140B and how it helps him run his firewood business and then we cut a few cords with it!

This is one of the greatest things I have seen in a while boss of a tool

[@WhiskeyRiverTradingCo]

Thanks for watching! We plan on doing A lot more content around different wood processors.

I'd have killed to have this thing when I was a kid.

[@WhiskeyRiverTradingCo]

Right! Especially without Dad knowing. Comes out and there is a semi truck of split wood on the ground 😂😂

[@trevormartin987]

Excellent video! Can’t wait to see you firewood business grow buddy!

[@benson6634]

Very nice. I'm thankful for guys that split and sell firewood cuz I buy from guys like John.

I love watching your videos, from your favorite uncle Todd.

Nice to see someone make a custom 8 way for the Halverson. You can order the 140b with the 4” cylinder to get more oomph. Getting mine in March!

[@coltchristianson3749]

Did you get your 140b? Did you go with the 4" cylinder?

[@josevelasco3245]

@@coltchristianson3749 I stuck with the 3.5” bore for now. It gets stopped by some knots with the 6 way. The 4 way is the ticket and keeps going.

[@coltchristianson3749]

@@josevelasco3245 ok, I'm considering one and thinking of going with the 4" since I'll have a lot of larger diameter logs, and would want to use the 6-way for them. I'd even consider making an 8-way to get smaller splits. How are you liking yours? Any suggestions on purchasing?

[@josevelasco3245]

@@coltchristianson3749 well if you get larger than 18” I would go with the 150. Even then, remember it’s only around 20 tons so if it’s knotty and big the 6 way won’t cut it or you can always drop it all the way down to act like a 4 way. I have done that before with the 140b. You do that by not having a pin installed and it can freely go up and down. You can then lean the wedge on something or the ground to get the wedge to go up and split 6 ways. If you have the option to get poles and no more than 16-18” the 140b works great and is faster.

[@coltchristianson3749]

@@josevelasco3245 ok, great explanation, thank you. I will have larger logs, but plan to just use chainsaw and process with a splitter. Being able to do 18" and under with the 140b, I can use my smaller skid steer (ctl) rather than the larger skid steer... Cheaper to put hours on it. That's a great tip, to drop the wedge down and it acts as a 4-way instead of 6-way. Overall there are so many details to consider, I'm just trying to make the best decision for my setup. I have a forwarder, and will be selecting the logs I cut from, so I can more easily separate the best ones for the 140b. From videos I've watched, it seems even the 120 does well splitting. But I think the added capacity of the 140b is a better fit for me.

Very cool! Video from the operators perspective?

[@WhiskeyRiverTradingCo]

Next time he’s over I’ll try to make a POV video.

[@halliwilljon]

Loggers cord?

[@boydpoindexter7741]

128 cu/ft

[@halliwilljon]

@@boydpoindexter7741 so basically the same as a face cord

[@WhiskeyRiverTradingCo]

@@halliwilljonloggers cord is measured 4x4x8ft in log form. 3 face cords. It’s how it’s measured out of the woods on a semi.

[@WhiskeyRiverTradingCo]

@@boydpoindexter7741correct. Full cord

[@halliwilljon]
