    Hey everyone! There is a guy who likes to call my Eastonmade ULTRA a kindling machine in the comments, I would like you all to send him some positive comments, I think he needs some love! Can you all help me out? His Name is Timothy Fishel in the comments, tell him some thing....

      Maybe he's one of the crowd that so covets your fine kindling!! Not me, of course!! Maybe offer him a bagful for $5.00. If that doesn't work, tell his mommy!! He obviously needs a 'time out'!!...On the other hand, maybe he's the curator of a kindling museum, not attracting many tourists, so just kind of striking out! Besides, everyone knows you can't make toothpicks out of mixed hardwoods!!

    I’m so blessed that I live in a similar market as Mr. Ken. Literally the same just 1.5hrs East. The information I am learning from Chris and Ken is invaluable. For the last two weeks alls I can talk about is the wood I’m harvesting from my little forest and preparing for next burning season…I have a dad that’s just as into it as I am, although he lives 4.5hrs away in milwaukee…. It brings me a lot of joy to give my dad a reason to keep working hard to retire soon and come up here with me to build our little landscaping firewood business. Love this channel.

    This is a fantastic example of how to go about promoting your business (and wider industry).

Awesome job, Brothers Carlson. 👏 Keep it up.

    @thefirewooddoctor 2 роки тому +3

    You have a choice of two log splitters, one with 8.5ec cycle-time and one with 6.5sec cycle-time. Would it be efficient to add auto-cycle? The faster machine also has 250 pound higher log lift rating and is 80mph highway towable but costs $2000 more base price.

    • @waynetharp
      @waynetharp 2 роки тому +2

      I think alot of folks get very focused on the cycle time. At some point even 2 men can't keep wood feed to it or pushed away fast enough. Basically to fast can lead to new work flow problems. Comfort of use will allow the most time spent using a piece of equipment which will get you the most product at the end of the day and it needs the ability to split what you ask of it. IMO

I did a test with my glacier with the return stroke on a total cycle-time of about 11sec. I can set the ram ti return, grab the next round, and am waiting for it to finish retracting.
