Turbocharged Firewood Production - Unleashing the Japa 365 Processor

I have a load of logs to clear off my redneck log deck and there's no faster way to do it than with the Japa 365 +Pro Firewood Processor.

Nice how you just roll them onto the lift. Worked out well.

[@Back40Firewood]

The redneck log deck works great...but does help when the logs are nice and straight and roll easily...lol

[@HortonHill]

Wow! Nice stuff off of the processor.

[@mikeh8228]

Glad to see you splitting directly into trailer....saving the old back!

[@billobermeyer660]

That was a fantastic processing day with the 365 and as you mentioned that wood was flying!! Hope to be on the livestream Friday night!

[@Back40Firewood]

It was like a lightsaber slicing & dicing those logs up...lol...if ya don't make it to the live stream Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@inthebackyardwithdel438]

Hey Dan , that is some nice looking splits . That JAPA is an awesome machine !!

[@Back40Firewood]

Yeah I wasn't use to the triangle or pie slice shaped pieces...lol...almost didn't know how to stack them.

[@AroundTheYard-MN]

Looks like a great run of Oak for the Japa. Nice work Dan. Merry Christmas Dan, hope Amanda, LBM, and the rest of the family have a wonderful weekend! Take care ~ Brent

[@gerryspang5917]

Wishing Our Amanda and Little Boss Man a Merry Christmas and Blessings in the New Year.

[@Back40Firewood]

Thank you...hope you and your family does the same. Merry Christmas.

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Processors definitely crank out the wood! The log deck seems to be working pretty well.

[@williamellis8993]

Unleashed is a great way to describe that machine. It's a good thing you weren't close to the carport when you tossed that bark lol. Bill

[@Back40Firewood]

lol....there was plenty of bark coming off these logs so if I would've been in or closer to the carport there would've been a few pieces bouncing off the steel for sure...haha

[@toddpacheco4748]

Privacy wall has begun nicely done ✅ with the japa 365 + pro 😮😊❤

[@dday5354]

They are some nice sized logs for the Japa!

[@Back40Firewood]

Yes indeed...made a lot of wood...right size and straight, that's the key.

[@obiorah1]

Using the Red Oak Logs through the Processor is a Good idea, Red oak is good for heating Barbecue, Campfire Wood,

[@Alexweav79]

Thank you for running logs through that are bigger than 14”. Been waiting for someone to do this You won’t be happy cause you’ll be resplitting but that’s your issue, not mine 😂 just been watching you long enough to know….

[@Back40Firewood]

I'm not sure any were over 14", think the biggest was maybe 12" or 13"....the saw had just enough to make the cut. And yes some of the splits off the 6 way were a bit large, but I'll probably just pull those out for my personal use in the boiler.

[@Alexweav79]

@@Back40Firewoodreally? Some looked pretty big. I’d like to see you push the 14” “recommendation”. People in the real world would. That’s why I say that. Enjoy the channel and the videos. GO PACK GO!

[@outsideinmichigan]

Awesome firewood processor for sure. Very fast. You need a bigger trailer Dan. lol

[@Back40Firewood]

Hahaha...yes a larger trailer would allow for a bit longer run times, might just start building a big pile here soon instead.

[@3cl1]

Very nice setup, we enjoy your channel!

[@Back40Firewood]

Thanks, glad to hear you enjoy the content...appreciate ya watching.

[@TheHobbyShop1]

That’s a fantastic machine. It chews up and spits those logs out in no time.

[@outdoorsinthe608]

That bad boy sure makes beautiful fast firewood!!👍💪👍

[@Back40Firewood]

Yep and doesn't take long for it to spit out enough to fill my little trailer. I've been seeing so many splits off the box wedge, the triangle splits confused me for a second when stacking...lol

[@BacktoBob1]

Great video Dan! Nice to see you got some good logs to really fly with. Have a Merry Christmas!

[@Back40Firewood]

Thanks! Yeah having the right material going in makes a world of difference.

[@michaelmcdonald6727]

Great firewood video. I was wondering how you inspect and sharpen the chainsaw on the Japa? Maybe you could do a video on that. Thanks much for sharing your videos!

[@Back40Firewood]

I usually just try to get a sense by how it is cutting...and if the chain has lost it's edge I just put a new chain on...can't really sharpen/file it like a regular chainsaw.

[@TheTorkerman]

The more videos of processing I watch, the more I gotta say, is there a better unit than a Japa??? Easy to use, quiet, consistent, rugged. Awesome

[@davidevans474]

Nice machine seems to work good for you enjoy your videos .

[@robert.brokaw3829]

Fun time in the woodyard. Stay safe.

[@tbom1021]

I'm sure you are aware but I was watching Outdoors with the Morgan's and I saw your buddy from Metsa/Japa works for Wolf Ridge now.🤙

[@Back40Firewood]

Yep Bob is now with/at Wolfe Ridge.

[@Stihl-Alive044-nc8op]

I would think about a dust collection system so you're not sucking in the dust to the engine when cutting, like Joe did with his Japa on Ohio Wood Burner.

[@rossnolan2883]

Awesome 😎 😊😊

[@larryterrell8458]

I’m curious how the short length cuts will fall into the tray for splitting…gotta stay tuned.🎄

[@Back40Firewood]

You'll see coming up soon, but will just tell ya now for the most part they fall right down just like the longer rounds...works pretty good. 😀👍🍻

[@tonywoods3197]

Hi Daniel Akins I think I like the Japa is more Safer than the Easton Made being with the Hands Free operation I Wonder if they Would make it wider like the Easton Made don't get me wrong the Easton Made is a very good Machine But the Japa you can just keep feeding it and I think that's to your advantage on Production and Time 👍

[@Back40Firewood]

Yeah the Japa is limited on size of log and also needs to be pretty straight logs to be most efficient.

[@fricknjeep]

hi there nice splitting , Can you with the Japa cut 5-6 inch long rounds let them drop and split all 3 at one time to make your table top stove wood , ? best to all see you tomorrow night ,john

[@Back40Firewood]

The shorter cuts will drop down, but to line 3 of them up you need to manually do it. Is just faster to split the pieces one at a time even if they are short.

[@mlj6419]

What a machine. I think I've seen it on your channel or another one. Is it a demo or did you purchase?

[@Back40Firewood]

I have this machine on a demo/trial agreement.

[@bradkoste1128]

that japa does a nice clean job no chaff like the box wedge. that is too nice wood for bundles

[@trimco-mn8hh]

Not too bad...for a hobbyist 👍👍

[@Back40Firewood]

Hahaha...thanks! 😀👍🍻

[@outdoorswithlarryrobin]

Merry Christmas Dan and family. Japa seems to he a lot lighter built than the competition, but sure gets it done🪵👍🏼🇺🇸

[@Back40Firewood]

I haven't really seen or run any of the competition, but the Japa is definitely a well built machine.

[@tonywoods3197]

PS Daniel Akins did you ever get a log jammed inside the Japa that wouldn't Split and if So how do you get at the Piston does that Cover Come Off

[@Back40Firewood]

I've had a couple times where a round will jam...just open the hood and pound on the piece with another piece or raise wedge up and down to free it up. Also I'm just Dan...Daniel Atkins is another guy/channel...lol

[@ohiowoodburner]

you are just putting hours on that engine when you run that machine

[@nickfixes]

ha!

[@DanielAtkinsFirewood]

Joe. I agree. 🤣🤣🤣

[@BacktoBob1]

Best comment! 🤣

[@ClintEstadt-es9so]

I wish it would take a bigger log I would buy one 30 is what I get

[@matthiaskastle3069]

Hi Im from germany. I have the same japa. Question: Why do you start even splitting step with the start/stop lever? You can start the splitting process with the joystick. The saw is finished, put the joystick full up. You start the splitting step! Greetings from Germany

[@Back40Firewood]

Hello Matt, great to hear from you all the way over in Germany. I actually had that feature disabled because I was afraid if there was ever a piece that didn't land properly and my wife was running the machine the auto cycle split would be trouble. I know what you are talking about and yes that would be the way to run it. Appreciate ya watching.

[@brianridley271]

Hi how many cords do you usually split the last few years?

[@Back40Firewood]

I honestly have no idea, been working on getting my personal supply 2 full years ahead which would be around 24 cords plus then what I sell.

[@michaelsmith8412]

What's Amanda saying about you being the operator on the machine instead of her? 🤔😄 Hope she doesn't go on strike .👍

[@Back40Firewood]

She said she didn't mind...lol

[@allanerdman7072]

Sounds a little under powered. Great content....

[@Back40Firewood]

Sometimes I pull the saw lever and 'force' it through and it does 'sound' like it's under load, but then again it is bar deep in wood...lol...same happens with any chainsaw if you bog down on it.

[@DanielAtkinsFirewood]

Oh yeah, i could do it faster with bigger logs with a 14 in bar and a 21cc saw and a nice splitting Ax 🤣🤣 Merry Christmas to you and your family..🎄😁👍

[@robertdendooven7258]

But then you would wake up...😜

[@Back40Firewood]

Hahaha...ohh I get that comment all the time on Facebook. I can do that all just as fast with my saw & splitter...lol

[@waynetharp]

Are you still sponsored by Metsa?? I don't see any hash tags for them or Japa? Does Metsa plan to continue to import Japa products? Will parts be available if they don't? Sure, a lot of unanswered questions??? Have a Merry Christmas, Dan, Ms.Amanda and Family!🎄🎄
