@@loodusefilm7881 Always good to see Kenny and Tony. If I were a hundred thousandaire, forget millionaire, I'm sorry, but I wouldn't be interested in that one without several big improvements. Some big ones.
Gosh, just when I think I figured out which splitter I want, another good looking one comes along! I'll have to check out their website! Looks like a quality piece! 👍
That was one sharp chain on that saw. Cut just like a sawmill blade. The thing I really like with these big hydraulic machines is it's a lifetime deal because that's how long the thing will produce for. Bits and pieces will break down but being hydraulic that'll be over years and a quick fix will see the thing produce the same in 10 years as it does today. The diesel will run rings around any petrol power unit as well in efficiency, pure grunt and longevity. I'd be a huge investment but then 5 cords an hour over a 10 hour day would take some time to get your head around because it'd take about two weeks to pay for itself. That's when you start moving the machine to the logs and only transport a value added finished product once to either your own woodyard or direct to customers by the semi load. Everything starts out in a dream for those who dare to. Coulson brothers in cahoots with John the logger?
The Eastonmade 22MB changes the game. for 20k more you get a 115 kubota, piston pumps, off-set splitting chamber with repositioning and dump, and 4000lbs more steel.
Chris - greatly enjoyed watching this longer version on the Brute Force splitters and processors. Even though about 6 minutes of this was at the end of your XP592 demo video, it was still fun to watch on another duck weather day in western NY. Besides us firewood fanatics live by repetition… cut, split, stack, haul, dump, and liberate uncle Benjamin’s. Better than staring out the office window or looking at monitors and cubicle walls. Thanks
Nice vid Chris. I have the brut force 17 ton semi pro that was mentioned in the beginning. I just got it, but right now I really like it. It’s fast, and still has power at 17 ton. I haven’t really run into issues splitting. I find the processors fun to watch, but I try not to watch too long, just knowing the price tag! Josh mentioned it in the end, but they all have their sweet spots. I think having to resplit would drive me nuts, knowing how much money I got into it. I’ll let you buy a processor first and then I can learn from you🤪. Thanks or sharing!
Ok, when I saw today's video thumbnail I thought Chris must have been rescuing more Uncle Benjamin's than he's been showing us...Glad you found this footage and shared all the same.
Nice machines. I guess you're like a kid in a candy store when you're at the logging show but Mrs woodyard probably wouldnt approve if you brought home a 90k processor. You do good interviews chris. Another cool video. You'd make a good sideline reporter.
Chris, look back. Unless you added some extra footage, you already released this video as I recognize a lot of the footage. Visited mom a few times this past weekend, 7hr drive one-way. Gotta get back to work trucking and selling firewood so can go visit again.
Let's see, you could run it at your brothers place for a while then your place for a while. You could load logs for him and vice versa. Do I sense a brotherly purchase. I just can't remember how far away you live from each other. Makes good sense. Great video my friend.
Hey, Chris. I enjoy your videos, thanks. I've got some questions about your chainsaw sharpening. I've watched your videos on this and I switched to using a dremel. In your vid you recommended the oregon stones. Have you tried diamond stones? I've been using them and they don't decrease in diameter like the stone grinders. Also would like to know what speed you set your dremel on. I have been using the slowest speed, but wanted to know what you do. Your saws obviously cut very well. Keep the videos coming. I love 'em.
@@heymakerphd1982 I am not familiar with norton stones. I googled and did not find them in the type needed for dremel use. The diamond stones seem to last about the same as the oregon stones maybe slightly longer. I get a 5 pack on amazon for $7.94 MTP brand.
Goldang. I like the processors but I think my next step is getting a splitter that can do more then a half cord an hour. I don't have a glacier but it's not a mustang either.
When you've seen an Eastonmade bar saw processor with a 115HP Kubota diesel engine run, everything else just seems under powered. 😜 For the size logs Chris gets, any of the European processors (Japa, Hakki Pilke, Palax, etc) would be a good choice.
Good morning Chris!! Out of all the firewood processors on the market. I really like the Brute Force machines. The 24- 24is a really nice machine but it's a little overkill for what I would like to produce with. I really like the 16- 24 model. It would be just perfect size and the price isn't too bad either. Thanks for digging up the footage for us!!😀😀 Take care buddy!! TTYL!! Logger Al
Wow 14 cords in 1 day is fast.. Compaired to my/us with glasiers doing 1 face cord an hour.. Too bad this wouldn't fit in my wood yard. But we all know it will for yours..😜👍 See you tomorrow.. GNI
Prob take Chris a couple days, even at hyper speed, to stack 14 cords. Processor, just sitting there. Prob have to stack a little higher, or run out of room. Ah, but consider all the potential cookies!
Bass fishing and wood yarding , Both have a lot in common. There is doing it because you like and enjoy it, Then there is doing it because you have to feed the family. I don't want to be THAT dependant on either fishing or wood yarding. Those giant processors would have me doing way too much mechanical up keep , maintenance and repairs and not enough so splitting, stacking and delivering. Yes Five times the production but 1/5 The fun and satisfaction. ( Just my opinion ) I
To inconsistent with size of finished product compared to what you produce. Size of log matters, and there is no economical way to have a consistent size of log with out it being time consuming and adding costs. You have good operation that is cost efficient. Anything bigger leads to hired help , and then your time is not your own.
I can do 2 cord if someone loads the deck an hour and wood is straight. I looked at some of the bigger machines but if your loading it yourself it doesn't pay, you can only run between the skidloader and the processor so fast.
Is this the next development, in the Woodyard? When you think the time is right, and there are enough ‘uncle Benjamin’s’ in the pot I guess you will stay loyal to Eastonmade! Damn good machine too! On reflection, I think you like using your Husky’s too much to entertain a processor?
I forgot that I had shot this video at the Logging Expo a while back, so here it is now! Very nice firewood processors from BRUTE FORCE!
Are you sure? I'm not so sure, i have seen that. Atleast first part...

Thanks for finding that footage. It amazing to see all the logging/firewood equipment that is made in wisconsin.
Yes Multitech and Brute force are both made here.

Bigger toys for richer boys ....LOL great video Chris....back to my old slow splitter, have a good one.
They are big machines!

Good morning Chris. That looks like it was an awesome show. I should really start going to some!!
Yes you should!

Could be!

Ha! Thanks Matthew!
Nice machine!! It would take a lot to work off that price tag! Probably better suited for a commercial operation. Thanks for sharing! GNI
Yes, I could really pump out a lot of wood with it!
Holy smokes , love those processors!
Yup, there a lot of good choices for sure!
Great video of the show!! Your production could be higher than it is now. Have a Safe Day
Thanks David, more production would be great!
Got to run that machine for most of this past winter for a guy. Definitely fun.
Cool, it looks fun!
Chris, look back. Unless you added some extra footage, you already released this video as I recognize a lot of the footage. Visited mom a few times this past weekend, 7hr drive one-way. Gotta get back to work trucking and selling firewood so can go visit again.
Not according to my video library, I never edited it before, I thought, or maybe I am loosing it! Ha!
@@InTheWoodyard, episode #448 is where you had it. Same video where you ran the 592xp. That video was a lot longer.
Nice machine. If you can buy local and keep the money in your state or just the USA in general, that would be a good thing in my opinion.
That is an option, there are a lot of great machines to choose from!
Looks like a nice machine!
It is!

Have you tried the Norton stones? Maybe more affordable. Diamond sounds really great! How long do they last?
I want to give the diamond stones a try too! I run it wide open!

Yes, that smaller 16-24 is a great size for sure! Thanks for always watching and dropping the knowledge bombs Al!
Decent machine but Eastonmade 22MB kills the competition for price and what your actually getting at the end. My opinion of course.
Andrew and the boys do make some great stuff!
Good morning from Grand Forks
Hello there Dean!
Next on your Xmas wishlist?
No, every day wish list!
Good morning everyone.

I am making room for more wood now!
Ha! Ya, more wood would happen!
Good morning Chris. Have you picked out your new processor yet?
Not yet, so many good machines to choose from!
G’morning Chris. That’s a sweet machine ! When do you take delivery ? GoodNightIrene
Ha, as soon as I have all the money saved for one!
@@InTheWoodyard Living 'in the dream'. Hope springs eternal. ly.
Very nice machine chris, when is yours getting delivered!😂🚜🪵👍🏼🇺🇸
Ha! Some day it would be nice!
What is the largest diameter log you can cut?
In that machine I think it is 24" check out there web site, it should tell you in the specs, I do not work there I just shot the video.
You need to talk your brother into buying a processor and then let you borrow it one or two days per month.
I like that idea!
👍 Nice!!
Thanks for the visit Tony!
Nice machines. Everything has it's place, maybe not my place though. Starting to look like work instead of fun.
Ha! Work is fun, a guy just has to get his mind right, nothing good is easy. Thanks for watching Larry!
Larry well said.. 😊👍
I live within 5 miles of that factory that makes them
Northern Wisconsin is a great place to live!

Yup, good point!
A little bit more money than your Easton made Ultra but not a problem for you you should be able to afford one in a year or two.
Ha! Some day it might happen!
High dollar stuff !
Good machines are not cheap and they tend to hold their value well and last a long time producing profits!
To inconsistent with size of finished product compared to what you produce. Size of log matters, and there is no economical way to have a consistent size of log with out it being time consuming and adding costs. You have good operation that is cost efficient.
Anything bigger leads to hired help , and then your time is not your own.
Processors produce the most consistent length pieces and the wedge size controls the width. The variable is the log diameter.
seems like you are constantly tweaking the processor
Yes it does seem so.
I have a 14-24 brute force.
Nice, how much wood do you produce and sell with it?
I can do 2 cord if someone loads the deck an hour and wood is straight. I looked at some of the bigger machines but if your loading it yourself it doesn't pay, you can only run between the skidloader and the processor so fast.

I am not sure, we will see!
A powerful machine but not impressed with the re-splitting, the Japa has a box splitter that devours re-splits.
A wedge with more blades might be better.
👍
Thanks Bill!
