Nice to see two mates working and interacting. Good video Joe, interesting information. Cheers from HB NZ
That Cord King is an oldie but a goodie with it's own personality of course. Jesse did a nice job on learning the controls in a decent amount of time. Seems like having an extra person to keep it unjammed is a key in the process.
Loved the change of scenery. Always good to see Jesse's project.
Thanks Dan!
That was a great chance to show us a different machine. Thanks Mr. Joe!!
Cord King is a good brand.
According to one of the commenters, this machine is about 30 years old. According to another commenter, it may need new wedges so it works better.
Lots of fun to see you guys talking and having fun and making progress 👍
As long as Jesse does all the work! LOL. Thanks buddy
Quite a machine!! You can see the improvements manufacturers gave made over the years!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day
Thanks Dave
When I saw it was a Cord King I was expecting the big circular saw.
The big old wood reminds me of a story. Long ago we logged an old sugarbush, all the trees needed to be butted off the first 4' to avoid ingrown taps at sawmill. So we had these gigantic 4' pieces of hard maple. The local store/gas station owner bought them and had them delivered out back of his station. Then he offered anyone who owed him money on a running bill the chance to work it off cutting firewood. He got his wood cut, split and stacked and some people in debt worked their butts off to clear their bills. That was brutal work, chainsaws and mauls, no processors or splitters.
He sounds like a creative thinker. LOL Good story bud
superb video good to see log hauler jesse in action hes one of my favourites you have as hes very kind and a real gent / thanks for showing this as i for one enjoy your content
Thanks for the nice comment Paul. It is great to have you onboard with us
A machine like that definitely makes you appreciate what you have!!
While they are different for different types of wood I totally agree with you Leo!
Great to see Jesse in action, great guy 🙏
Something a bit different this time. Always like to see machinery working. Nice work Joe & Jesse ✅
Good to see the great Pennsylvania corn, Joe. Thanks for the ride.
LOL Wrong side of the border!
Thanks for the field trip today Joe. 😁👍
great job Jesse great job joe
Wow, that is quite the machine! Nice to see Jesse in a different role, he’s a man of many skills. Elaine from Canada here,enjoying such variety of your videos…museums, restaurant deliveries, Super Split, Japa, Axis, watching other people work etc. ha ha . Have another great week Joe.
Glad you liked it Elaine!
Easton made processor 22mb is what Jessie needs ❤😊😮
The Axis would work
on those oversized logs.
@@toddpacheco4748
He needs a rental.
My bells 3000 bar saw would eat that machine for lunch seeing this glad i went the route we did great video
A guy in the comments said this machine is likely 30 years old. It must be a durable machine.
I own a Cord King 18-20 and absolutely love that machine. The people at Cord King provide awesome service and the machine works flawlessly.
What quality of logs are you running through your processor?
Thanks for sharing buddy. It looks like a beast for sure
@@bwillan a variety, some are gnarly and some are straight. It takes a bit more time to process gnarly logs but it's all part of the fun.
All the best with this wood splitting operation. This was an interesting video to say the least.
I hope it goes well.
Thanks for watching John
Good job.
That looks to be an early 90's model processor. I have a 2021 model 60 and a 2020 model 48 Cord King processors with circle saw blades. My 60 has a 28 way wedge and it will push a 25" log through it no problem. Thanks for taking us along for the ride Joe.
That sounds like a mean machine!
It lasted a long time.
Which is better a chain saw or round saw ???
@@philliphall5198
C, circular.
Cord King is actually still making this model of processor today.
Joe, a request… I always love hearing your story how you left your 9-5 for the firewood industry. Would you do a video of encouragement for those struggling with leaving their comfortable job and going into the unknown. I’ve taken “action”like you say and began my plan/exit which has been expensive. I’ve said January I’d call it quits but it’s going to be so darn hard to leave!!! And it’s not a terrible job where I’m at now but does have ups and didn’t. And no I’m not getting into a firewood career. LOL.
I think I can put something like that together. Give a couple weeks buddy. Keep moving forward. You got this
Great to see Log Hauler Jesse again. He reminds me of the old adage." The plumber has the most leaking taps" Jesse hauls wood for a living and has the crookedest logs. Whats with that Jesse? Cheers from HB NZ
It is firewood...Every single piece will sell and burn! Thanks for sharing your trials n tribulations figuring it out!👍
Thanks for watching Wayne
Hi Milo, I think I prefer my Eastonmade 12-22 and my electric SuperSplit. But I'm only producing firewood for my home. Shalom/gw
Good video Joe 👍
It really helps to have straight wood and no bananas trees and crooked crank shafts . If you get free wood 🪵 or wood that sounds cheap like from a tree service go look at it you will be doing yourself a favor . You’re time and mess is worth something . 😊
That's a hell of a pile of reprobates to have to wade through! I presume it's the "every species you can think of, and a few you can't" sort of tree service pile. I'd hate to run into some American Elm or Sweet gum with that, the way it jams and plugs... You'd hear the cussing in Europe! lol.
Some of that reminds me of the pile of old Silver Maple logs I've been whittling away at. Spalted, a bit punky in the sapwood, but still solid- and so well seasoned, it dries out in a matter of hours, sometimes. I use it for starter logs, kindling, and "helpers" in my grill. No great shakes for coaling, but it'll ignite just about anything else, and it smells nice. Even better, start cutting at it, and the bark comes off in huge sheets! Now it can dry from the outside-in, as well as the split faces and ends.
I figure THIS pile was either winter cut, or from dead trees- because the green spring cut stuff in a different pile (and at least 2 years newer) is going bad already, after only a year. That wood is all kinds of funky colors, and smells fermented, and kinda like Tang. This wood is a uniform tan/grey, with some spalting. Both versions burn great. The older stuff is just easier to split!
All in all, though- I prefer working with the hard maple varieties.
Would be easy to add a A/C unit to it I think 😊. Would be nice to have and might as well get unit with heater to😊
Would be good to buy it and respite it for stove wood or for your house
It doesn't have A/C.... but it least the operator gets to sit down, lol
That's a beast, I'm sure it can go through some big logs if straight. Nice to Jesse in a different environment.
I would think the machine would work much better with straight logs.
Joe, Great video. I think you could buy some of that wood from Jesse, split it down and resell it. Looks ready to burn in a month or two.
I had thought of that. Not quite sure yet LOL
hydraulic pumps would be nice to clean, prevent extra heat or power loss in future. Good stuff and machine
Great Video as always Joe. Ron here from the Woodyard in Duanesburg, NY. Jesse is Quite the Guy my Friend. I Machine that he is using is Quite the Firewood Procssor for Boiler Wood. Jesse is a Man with traits. You 2 should go into business together Joe, as you both do Great Work Together. I am down for Awhile Joe. To Hot and Humid out to cut anymore Locust up. I have been trying to do it some around 6pm. Or so. PS- I found a way to Keep your Bar and Chain Cleaner and More Lubbed up. Mix Canola Oil with your Bar and Chain Oil. I works Great Sir. Looking Foreward to your next Video. Ron from the Woodyard in Duanesburg NY.
I have been avoiding this hot weather too. Very dangerous outside ron
Thats what i started with was a cord king in 2008. Mine had the circle blade on it and it was sweet till you hit metal. Lol. Than in 2017 i went to the multitek causei of their wedge design . Fun to see em all run tho.
They are a lot of fun to watch. Looks like a lot of hidden work tho! LOL
Cool! Well Dun!
Thanks Geezey!
That’s too awesome from log Hauler Jesse (it takes a special type of stupid)😊 and I agree lol cheers
hi there good show , john
Seems like you would want the wedge set as close to the middle as possible or perhaps where the bigger cuts were on the bottom.
I can speak from experience it is more difficult than it looks finding the center of the logs. I always seem to be off one way or the other lol
Hello Log Hauler Jessie & Joe. Jessie, don't let Joe try to trade you processors!!!! Lol I don't think there is a rental place round S.E. Ohio where a person can rent one. My kind of of wood!!! Boiler. You guys take care and we'll catch you on the rebound.
That boiler wood not as pretty as your high end restaurant wood Joe ! Always fun when Jesse on board 👍
Eastonmade has a wedge that produces 3×3 splits he covered it on his U Tube channel last week . I dont remember the number of splits it can make but it is ether 16 or 18 .depinding on log size .
That is an awesome machine for sure
4 X 4 (16)
Going threw firewood withdrawal of my foot for 2 weeks surgery tomorrow prob 4 more weeks off
That's bad to hear Chris. I hope you bounce back buddy
Makes me appreciate your setup, Joe. Good for Jesse’s purpose though. 👍👍
I was thinking the same RG LOL
Hey 👋 Joe
Wow Joe, Jesse had a bunch of hard, gnarly, nasty wood !! It all burns good but sometimes it's a son of a gun to get it to the burnin stage!! Good to see Jess bustin that big ugly stuff up!
Thanks for watching Greg!
Maybe Joe could have bought some of them.
Maybe Joe could buy some of the split pieces and resplit them.
@@ohiowoodburner
Did you see anything
you liked?
Joe, have you noticed your subscribers decrease? I was unsubscribed from your channel. Very strange! I have heard about this happening, but never saw it for myself. I always enjoy your sense of humor videos. Have a great day and Enjoy the Journey - Cheers
Hi Bob.. Thanks for the heads up but I haven't seen anything like that. I'm glad that you are still here and I am glad to call you a YT Friend!
I for got to Manchin cordking is now eastenmade firewood prossesers .
I don't think that is right. Bells is now Eastonmade
Joe I hope you're not overdriving the surface of the unmarked road. Looks like about a 40mph stretch of road
Jesse summed it up that machine bites off more than it can chew sometimes. The jamming sounds like a real pain. So many expensive components, why the slow conveyor, slower ram, and not enough space in the splitting chamber causing jams? Like putting skinny tires on a Lamborghini
Not sure its true capabilities. I do know the wood was pretty nasty that he was putting thru it
Some pieces he could try cutting shorter to see if that helps.
gee if you only knew someone with a super split they could load up on some good wood to sell themselves.
har har. Not this guy!
I’ve never run a processor but do you have to push the bar lever up? Also, do you have to push the lever to retract the plunger?
Maybe put a bungee on each lever?
Every machine is different. Some do some are auto. I think Cord King's depend on model etc
Log hauler Jesse needs a crew like Chris has got, just for a little while!!!!
He had his brother and dad helping. Not sure if anyone else came. I was just there for a short time
but why do you want to split trees?
I wonder what he would charge for a truck load of that split wood.
No clue. Send him a message and he may be able to hook you up
That’s not really fair he has a cheery picker!
👍👍👍👍
Thanks bud
Here's what he needs: ua-cam.com/video/uxw9lbcvXZg/v-deo.html Eastonmade 16 way box wedge.
He wants boiler wood.
Did you figure that out all by yourself?
@@CBDabbs
Andrew said the 16 way is for making packaged wood. I'm trying to decide if it would be good for general purpose.
@@jakebredthauer5100 Smaller splits are always worth more money.
I think cord king was owned by the father of eastonmade?
Hmm. I think if I found one of those used for a good price, I'd definitely have to pass it up. There is nothing more frustrating than a machine that doesn't work consistently. The logs binding up constantly would seriously tick me off.
Prob had more to do with the type of wood he was running but that is the challenge w processors. They want perfect logs for sure
Wedge problem.
Learn patience.
Repair or replace the wedge.
Nice work Jesse! See ya at Bunyan Joe 🪵👍🏼🇺🇸
Can't wait until the first week of October guys!
Silly me thought that he already had a job driving a truck.
From a business point of view if he can make X amount per day driving his truck should he be making X plus something doing this?
After all he has to pay to run the processor and the truck with the crane to do this.
Eventually he will run out of helpers if he doesn't pay/reward them with something.
I think he is doing the firewood mostly for himself and fam. Anything left over he would sell. His primary job is driving that world famous log truck
He is using the truck to gather and produce firewood. Isn't that good enough? Do you want him to buy his firewood? If the processor would work properly, that would help. He may enjoy doing something different than driving a truck.
Make sure you don't do it to much in the heat hate to hear y'all in tje hospital from heat exhaustion
No kidding about that Carl. I have taken most of this week off so far It's just too dangerous out there
Heat stroke is worse --- deadly.
Your feels fashionable Lifestyle
Howdy my friend because I like you. I’m only going to charge you hey 9 1/2% sitting in my recliner watching you fee surely you won’t mind lol
haha!!! NO FEES!! LOL
Somethings not right if it can't push anything bigger then a 12inch log through a 8 way.
Not sure what it was. It seemed to have good power from what I saw w the six way. thanks Kev
@@ohiowoodburner after writing that comment I think I know what might be going on, first I thought the 8 way was just a winged wedge but it was the one he picked up, I'm going to guess the 2 inter pieces aren't welded right and dont have enough relief in them, thats why they always jam. pretty much its the wedge not the machine (maybe) haha
@@SkidderKev
I see there are two boxes in the eight-way wedge. My understanding is the passageways need to get larger from the front to the rear so the wood can go through without jamming. I am assuming that is what you mean by "relief". The tilt of the blades and the bevels need to be precise.
Apparently, someone dropped the ball on quality control. Perhaps it was a local machine shop that didn't know what they were doing and an owner who does not care (or know).
@@SkidderKev
Would it be hard to adapt an
Eastonmade 16 grid wedge to a Blockbuster processor?
@@ohiowoodburner
Jesse,
If you understand what the problem is here and want to fix it, you could possibly make some money.
And the equipment you need more money 💰 and more and more mess . 😊
There’s been a lot of advances in the firewood processing industry in the past 10!years or so!
That one is about 30 years old. I saw it in the comments.
Too much driving , get to the chase .
