Liked watching the process. I miss burning wood here in Dupont, Washington but we do have very clean air here which my wife needs because of lung issues. We all heat with natural gas and have no wood burning stoves ... About 2000 houses.
If you go a rental machine like this again, try to have a quick hitch on the three point with a ball or peg mount on the tractor. So you fan just use the tractor to move the trailer around. Save the chance if busting out a side or back window on your truck. Plys if the truck is free. You can more easily hop in and go fetch things without having to unhitch and so forth. Aside from that, all the saw dust can be attempted to be caught in a sturdy cardboard box to help keep the landing a but more tidy. Mixed with a little kerosene then pressed into blocks for outdoor lights bricks. Slivers and bits can go into anorher bin to burn in rhe boiler,vstove ir there in the yard to help knock some chill off. Either way. It's your shooting match so whatever you decide is how the roll will be. Keep warm out there.
@@twosawacres8096 Been there and done that before. Ended up spreading the chip dust and sliver bits to about eight inches deep for an area that looks about the same size as your lot. This is for the log storage, to make it a little easier on you and reduce the bottom stack rot. Have two sacrificial logs on the ground directly, lay your supply on top of those. A better example of what I'm getting at is a European style log stack. Keeps your logs cleaner and easier to pull off the stack. Finally the last bit, a mini excavator with a grapple and a little trailer hooks to the mini so you can grab out the stack, put on the dolly trailer pull over to your splitter set. But that's highly likely something for the flung future or if you get a chance to do up a more dedicated area. As is, looks like you have some good looking country up there, it would be a shame to ruin it with bad advice from me or others that do the whole "you should be doing as I say because I'm better than you" junk. Do what works for you, don't be scared to experiment for what works better and makes things easier for you. We're not getting younger as the years go by. Anyway my good guy, be safe. Keep warm and enjoy a warm evening brought by your efforts.
@@bishopcorva thank you, things went pretty well I think. I've used the logs on the ground, works great, we just picked 70+ pallets over the last couple years so that works good too. Country is beautiful here, been around the globe and settled back home. I'll probably expand the woodyard in the next few years, but I like my trees.
@@twosawacres8096 Sounds like a good plan indeed. Finding out what works or doesn't instead of commiting to a setup that just has you crossing back and forth. Not saying you have to, but I'd look into one of those Easton table vertical splitters even if they require a good bit of upfront labor if getting the rounds cut to length. It would give you a heap more control of the size of the splits. But hey, that's what the future is for to look at. Till then stay groovy.
Hey thanks, just doing all this physical work should keep us healthy right! 😆 different kind of gym fee! Thanks for watching and the time to leave a comment, really appreciate it, sincerely!
Production numbers on a processor depend greatly on the size of the wood you're splitting and how fast you can keep the machine fed. If you had access to a couple of trailers, you could keep the processor in one spot and not have to move it to where the firewood will be stacked.
Agreed, did this two years ago and had 2 trucks w/trailers rotating keeping the pile clear. Think I need to open the woodyard up a little bit more and get a dump trailer.
I was commenting as the video was playing if I missed it but how much time did this save you over doing it the old way. I did not just rent my processor out I did mobil processing I came with the machin. In my area we get tri-axle loads that is about 20 tons of wood or 20 to 22 face cords at 16 inches I can get that done in 4 hours with my old processor. My customers was so happy that the summer long job of wood cutting and stacking was done in 1 day. you had a huge amount of wood to get done and machinery did almost all of it. Nice video was of good quality
This load was 20-22 pulp cord (loggers cord or full cord), took us four days (and it gets dark here by 5pm right now), with me and my chainsaw and splitter I'd probably be looking at three weeks give or take. Last summer we did 90 face and it took a few months but it was not an every day thing, just when we got out there.
Man I was just about to ask why nobody had mentioned the elephant in the room bring that centurion. You won’t see a centurion anywhere around Wv for some reason. Thsts a beautiful truck bud.
BUT IF YOU CUTTING AND SPLITTING YOUR WOOD IN THE FALL THEN YOU DONT HAVE SEASONED WOOD. TO BURN UNSEASONED IT TAKES MORE ENERGY TO BURN THE MASS. WHICH MEANS LESS ENERGY OUT PUT PER LOAD OF WOOD.
You will never bend a bar I have not bent one in 11 years the bars spring back and I have made that mistake many times and run the log into the bar never permanently bent one

I have had a dyna sc-16 for 11 years now and you looked like you did fine with it you got a lot of work done in good time
Thanks, I really just need to buy one.

I do have a 3 point bar that I could put a ball on, but man I sure used the rake a lot... I will look into the quick hitch w/ ball though.

New subscriber That's a nice processor You Cut a lot of wood with that So stay safe stay healthy we'll catch you another one

It cost a lot to live up there for sure 👍
Happy New Year
Some things for sure!

Is that a bronco centurion???? SAWEEEEET
Wondered if anyone would catch that! Thanks, just got it.

Totally agree, this was all next year's lumber.

Good to know, I'm thinking about just buying one and maybe selling firewood since I already process so much.
