The Most Compact Firewood Processor I've Ever Seen

[@WoodsTreeFarm]

See a longer demo of this machine here kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpO0faSgoKupiqs

Great video!! Thanks for taking us along!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day

[@WoodsTreeFarm]

Thanks for watching! I have two other (larger) firewood processor videos out from this show too if you're interested in taking a look. Take care!

[@adirondackwoodsman]

I actually just started selling firewood this past year. I got an Eastonmade 12-22 and 24’ Conveyor last year. Mostly bundle wood so far. Also got hooked on doing KZbin videos. I just sub’d

[@fricknjeep]

hi there looks real good , john

[@wingding028]

a good simple looking machine the saw is a bit slow lets it down a bit

[@WoodsTreeFarm]

I have other videos of the machine running. I dont think its that slow. A couple of the example cuts in this video he was going a little gentle with it because they just straightened the bar after someone advanced the log into the saw while it was down.

[@gumboot65]

I wonder if there are any dealers for this processor on the west coast? I'm in Alaska. All its lacking is am out feed conveyor.

[@WoodsTreeFarm]

You can definitely reach out to Halverson directly. Theyre in WI. I'm sure they can get you a machine directly if there aren't any dealers around.

@@WoodsTreeFarm Thank you

[@outdoorswithlarryrobin]

Good video, enjoyed our time there also🪵🇺🇸

[@WoodsTreeFarm]

Oh didn't realize you were there. Would have liked to have met up with you. Maybe next year! This venue is about an hour from our farm and it was my first time there. Will definitely be going again

[@toddsmith6766]

Price would be nice.

Is it me and missing something but i have noticed that all these demo and shows, well maybe not all but most, have perfect rounds. straight grained, nearly symmetrically circular logs. What about those knotty, crotched or twisted chunks that we (or at least me) get in abundance? That is what would sell me to spend several hundred bucks.

[@WoodsTreeFarm]

That's just not what processors are built for. They're built to maximize output, and in order to do that, they need relatively clean/straight wood. If you want to improve your your output, then you need to improve your input as well and get better wood. I know a lot of guys get free tree service wood that includes a lot of wacky wood. in that case you're limited to cutting everything by hand and you just need a big, bad ass splitter, but you'll need to spend many thousands, not hundreds :)

[@charlestitus1006]

Your right simple I can outslit everything with a axe with that pretty no knot straight grain wood

[@mikehoward8201]

Several hundred bucks?? Try $14 to $15 thousand! That is what that processes costs!

[@gp4103]

For most home owners burning under 20 cords a year a simple vertical or horizontal splitter and a chainsaw is all you need. If you have a large family or neighbours or friends who would get together and burn wood then a bigger processor makes sense and you need to speak to the guys delivering wood and look for larger straight logs.

[@down2earth838]

I run that size logs through my wood chipper. It’s great if you only split 10-16” logs. Most don’t !!

[@turbodog99]

Engine noise n heat too close to operator

[@WoodsTreeFarm]

Good point. I was thinking the controls would be better on the other side of the hydro tank so the operator could handle resplits as well

[@5tephenD]

Looks like it takes longer to cut a round than to split it... cutting is a bottleneck

[@WoodsTreeFarm]

@@5tephenD still faster than using a chainsaw and lifting/moving the round to the splitter

[@Tonnsfabrication]

Well you certainly didn't do 2000 cords a year with that slow machine. That thing running a 20 hp honda is gonna burn 20 gallon of gas a cord at that pace. Cool concept but already outdated in todays market.

[@charlestitus1006]

What are you talking about a gallon every two cords maybe at most a gallon a cord

[@frankcoldwell4424]

For a home owner that speed is ok, it’ll do a few logs in minutes for a a weeks worth of fuel.

[@danradtke1663]

Chipper??????lol
