Great video Joe. Thanks for working with us on developing this design from the ground up, to make a product that people are really going to enjoy using. We appreciate all of the feedback from folks here in the comments and can't wait to roll out the finished version this summer!
Thanks to you for allowing me to be part of the Team. !!
just asking can the small folding table be/function as a grizzly bar table to clean the split wood?
I noticed the ram would hit my wheelbarrow when I had it just under the edge of the table. For it to clear there had to be a gap. That is where all the mess would be seperated. Not sure if they are going to go with grizzly bars
Our sincere thanks to everyone who took the time to weigh in. We appreciate all the support we saw in the comments for our new splitter and Joe's highlights of the prototype's features in his video, but there were a couple of concerns that we saw mentioned a few times and we'd like to address them.
First is the speed of the cycle time. This will improve significantly on the final production model with some modifications we're currently making, and will further be improved by the unique stroke length selector on the TimberOX Summit, which allows the user to select a 12", 18" or a full 26" stroke for the auto-return to stop at.
The second issue was concern about the ease of access to the fuel tank. Currently, a simple funnel can be put into the fuel tank, which the nozzle of the gas can easily reach through the slot you can see that we made in the side panel. The final production model will be even easier and we'll be sure to demonstrate this function in future videos, but rest assured we're not going to produce a log splitter that's difficult to refuel.
Finally, one of the unique features of the TimberOX design is its large flat work deck that extends out to include the folding tray table. Unlike typical I-beam splitters where the split piece opposite to the operator would fall on the ground and need to be retrieved or have another person catch it, with a TimberOX that piece simply sits there until you are ready to split it. Since the entire deck is level, this allows you to load up several log rounds to process and easily slide the split pieces around, rather than expend energy lifting them. However, this precludes us from adding a log saddle to catch large logs coming off of a log lift, which is needed to protect the operator. Since we cannot add that safety feature to the design without compromising the aforementioned benefits of the flat work deck, we're not going to include a log lift on this model.
That said, if you're familiar with our forestry tools, you know that using a LogOX Hauler to lift log rounds has been scientifically proven to reduce back strain by 93% and arm strain by 76%, and we will be including the Hauler Holster as an option directly on the splitter. We will be offering another TimberOX model that features a log lift later this year, but the TimberOX Summit is the perfect splitter for anyone who wants a fast, ergonomic, and high-quality American-made log splitter, but doesn't need a log lift and/or is mainly focusing on processing resplits.
Thanks again everyone, we look forward to showing you the production model later this summer! If you'd like to learn more and get on the waitlist, please click the link in the video description and sign up.
Nice review. Cycle time is important but as a homeowner quality and storage of the machine is just as important. I like it.
Definitely great ideas for all the reasons you mention. Hoping it’s as robust as your ideas. Would be great option if not further improving for the “home owner” that an alternative model be developed with a higher ton weight(?) for quicker more powerful cutting - even the guy in the yard like in your video would appreciate saving his back and a heavier gauge used for the table and post metal to withstand the tough work environment as well as doubling well as a sturdy onsite project work bench. You have Great ideas like the tool box! If you built it more sturdy they will come or at least make a Log Ox II ! Found this video looking for the Log Ox bar. Loved to see this American made & ingenuity succeed!
I just see one small problem which is putting petrol in the tank unless that is what the small hole in the side of the table is for to maybe fit a funnel ??. David UK.
Good eye Murdoch. that is for fueling
Yes, that's exactly what the hole is there for.
Using a box type splitting wedge will always produce lots of trash. Since your machine will only take smallish logs you should have a custom wedge built, 10 0r 12 way. Then you can split with one stroke which will double your production, reduce your waste and still produce a good product. Or not.
Sorry Milo, I have a Super Split and an Eastonmade 12-22. Like Quick Carl, I gotta do everything fast! Thanks for the very relaxing video,, though. Shalom/gw
How will you put gasoline on that one.
For me it seems the lid is very close to the table.
We cut a hole in the table's side panel that a funnel fits through to easily fill the gas tank.
Thanks John. I see LogOX answered
@@LogOXUSA Having another tool/piece (funnel) in the yard would not be my preference. Also another opportunity to introduce dirt into the fuel. Maybe give this some further thought. Otherwise, looks great!
I don't like the ram moving when it can't be seen from operator position, table is too high
If the final design is a bit quicker it would make a decent resplit machine for a processor or bundled wood operation.
I believe that may be the case. Stay tuned
It does seem a little slow.
I'll have to think about that. The wheel barrow at the end made a huge difference. I HATE picking up a log twice or three times. I use hydraulkics,, and will in the future as I age. My best tech in my life was A. dropping the tree, B slicing into lengths (16 to 24 depending upon need/use) and then C splitting it where it lay with a 6 pound maul. As required by the species,, exactly where it lay on its side,, or stand upright and split it. Pick it up once to load the truck.
Another tech I have used often,, standard drag behind,, set to vertical, right in the middle of the cut lengths. Lift little,, operate on my knees and just push, pull, wiggle, roll the pieces into place. Only split pieces are picked up, or thrown up into wheel barrow or pick up. I don't move if I don;t have to.
Splitter up on a 36 inch high table, operated from one side only. I have to pick everything up to get it on the splitter. I surely am not going to just push it off the end so I have to pick it up again
Make the cycle time shorter.
I know I would miss the log lift, I am not getting any younger and depend on mine a lot, but I like the small footprint, it shows they put some thought into this machine.
I think the log lift will come later in some capacity
Looks great, I like the big sorting table and is same height as the wedge so no bending down to grab. The only thing that would make me pause is not being able to work from either side. I am a stickler for that due to my setup. But pretty slick unit, really love that big table.
That is one of the benefits of the super splitter where you can work from both sides. It comes in handy when you are working off a big pile
@@ohiowoodburner
Have a handle on each side
comected together underneath to operate one valve.
The big issue for me is that the cylinder is not in alignment with the wood. Doing the workaround will be expensive and prone to malfunction.
It's looking great - thanks Joe! Great overview and demo!
Thanks Gord. It will be leaving shortly
Looks amazing! I can't wait to get my hands on one of these.
Definitely a nice option as an entry level splitter and really like the smaller footprint and working area!!
Nice compact unit 👍 It's exciting to see how this unit will evolve and improve. Congratulations on the International Firewood Expo again 😊
Thanks Lyle
It looks like a solution for a problem that did not exist . It is more complicated mechanically than a traditional log splitter . Great if someone really needs to store it in a small space but otherwise I see no benefit that this unit provides . Also the engine needs to be oriented in a position that blows exhaust away from the operator . The tires seem to be in the way of the operator's feet . The work table is nice though . Refueling this looks like a major pain .
Sorry to be so critical , I like innovation but this machine doesn't seem to reinvent the wheel . As another posted , this is not an improvement on the super splitter .
I'm sure I'll get flamed for being blunt but what does this machine do better than a conventional log splitter ? Nothing
Honesty is always appreciated on this channel Glenn. Thanks for your comments buddy
it's no super splitter, that's for sure
This should fill a void between the box atore splitter and the more expensive horizontal splitters!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day
That is the way I see it to Dave. Thanks buddy
I don't think LogOX has defined the TimberOX that precisely but I agree that would be the appropriate target market. To do well in in this low end market, it will need to have a low end price and low end performance.
I'm not sure they have decided what it is they want to accomplish. As I understand it, this will be their first splitter so they had approximately zero experience building splitters. I am interested to see what they will be able to do. I expect this model will turn out to be a failure. I don't know about the follow-up model.
Way to slow..
This is not the final product. I understand they are spec a different ram. Stay tuned
I agree with you
More speed would require
A larger engine and a larger pump or at least an oversized cylinder stem.
SLOW? You guys are spoiled over there, if you saw the slow, glacialy slow, splitters that get sold here in Australia, this thing is fast👍🏼👍🏼and with the table extension and adjustments you can make to the ram l night, WINNER👍🏼👍🏼
@@TheTorkerman
Do you have any splitters stacked up like this with the cylinder underneath the splitting mechanism?
Joe, you have been making an excellent point about a product that is currently missing on the marketplace.
This thing looks like it will fit the bill!
The market will tell us in the end
Hi Joe, love the stow_abilty. Easy stroke adjustabilty, speed is ok,a wee bit faster would be good. What power are we talking here? All in all, Good looking product. Cheers from HB NZ
I think the final speed will be different Clif, there are some adjustments to be made for the final product. The power seemed fine. That was a tough piece f Beech I ran thru it and it did well
A lot of cool add-ons. I like seeing things being pushed forward in the splitter world. Wonder if they will have a 4-way splitter option down the road or if that little wide part at the bottom of the wedge would prevent that. They make some great stuff!
Thanks for the comment Eric, and yes we will be offering the same slip-on 4-way wedge that Timberwolf has had for decades on their TW-2, which slides over the top of the main wedge and can be oriented to make 4" or 6" splits. Hope you're doing well brother!
Its nice but s l o w .. . . .
I understand they are making changes with the ram etc. Supposed to be faster once it goes into production
Very nice machine.. I can definitely see a market.. just 1 question...
QQQ.. How do you refuel the Log Ox with the tank under the table?
There is a port cut into the table for a funnel. It is pretty tight under there
@ohiowoodburner they could design a fueling apparatus to expedite refueling.
Looks like fuel will be spilled all over the place, trying to fill the gas tank
That’s a slick little unit!!
I really like the size!!
Appreciate the video Mr. Joe!!
Very nice!
I like the table and height but the reset of the knife after each stroke is a waste of time and gas and energy and money.
Modify your design to split both directions. I have done this with mine.
Also a log lifter is a must for us old people who have bad backs. Thanks for the video. Jim in Chile
Joe…This unit highlights the winning features of the SuperSplit. 👍
I am certainly partial to the kinetic splitters. I def see it.
The best feature of a Supersplit is it's speed, which this doesn't have.
G'day Joe, I wanted to come to the best firewood expo on earth but the Aussie dollar is only a little bit better than the Ugandan Shilling ATM, so I would have had to sleep in your shipping container and sing for my supper ! which means I may go hungry 👍. PS do you know the pressure of that hydraulic ram ?
haha. Maybe next year? I don't have any data or numbers on this.
It's backwards, you should have the wedge moving. Then the pieces that need to be split again don't have to be moved so far.
I love a good collaboration and this is awesome! I can’t wait to see how this morphs into the market version. I guarantee a log lift will be an option. LOVE the footprint for all the reasons Joe explained. I hope I can afford one! Or at least come up with a way to justify it to my chief financial director (wife) love innovation…
Hi Joe - it's Big Rodders in Ireland. As mentioned elsewhere, the price point will be key for comparison purposes. How will it be superior to, say, the Super Split or Ultra? My natural inclination would be to pull the lever towards me to split and away from me to retract but perhaps there is a specific reason for the existing arrangement.
So I agree with you on that Big Rodders. I recall this being discussed but I noticed my mind had me pulling the handle towards me to split. I may make that suggestion with my feedback
I have a Timberwolf twp1, does everything I need as a homeowner splitting just a hand full of cords a year. Great concept, quality teamwork with Timberwolf. Afraid the price will be out of the average homeowners budget…
Is there a ball park MSRP on this as yet?
I am not sure on that. I would expect LogOX to announce it sooner than later. I will expect it to be affordable to the homeowner however
Does wood chips, shredded bark and other debris foul up the area where the ram moves? Can this be a problem. Is the engine well protected from all this debris.
For as long as I ran it the trough seems to clean out. I didn't notice compaction etc. The engine seems well shielded
I pay 1200.00 for a 12 logger (4'x4'x8') cord truck load of logs (ash or oak). I get an average of 2.5 face cords (4'x 8'X16") of firewood from each loggers cord after processing. In my area the best we can get is $80.00 per face cord delivered. 2.5 face cords x 12 = 30 face cords. 30 x $80.00 is $2400.00 minus $1200.00 for the logs leaves $1200.00 gross profit. What are your thoughts as far as profitability? Thank You. I appreciate your videos.
The key is margin. You must take steps to increase your price per stick. Try selling smaller qty and avoid people who heat with wood.
@@ohiowoodburner Thanks Joe, In my area there are a lot of trees and few people. It is a bit of a resort area but it seems like anyone that has a roll of Saran wrap is selling bundles. The most enjoyment I get is a firewood stand that I let local groups use as a fund raiser i.e. our Little League team. They get all of the money that it brings in. I do have one BBQ joint that buys hard maple from me but only 2 face cord a year. Have a Great Day!!
Log Ox is really onto something. Elaine from Canada here, great to see their collaboration and research with real world operators like you professional “woodhounds”. It incorporates many great design features. Have a great week. Cheers
Thanks Elaine. I can't wait to see the final product
Thanks Elaine. We're a family-owned small business that processes a lot of firewood ourselves, so everything we make has to pass the litmus test of being something we would want to use. We sought out firewood experts like Joe from the beginning to help us really deep dive into the features that would make that the case with this log splitter too.
Look up splitfire wood spliters in Canada they have something very similar.

@@LogOXUSA
You won't know until TimberOX has been proven. It looks dubious. As long as the cylinder and wood are stacked, out of alignment, managing the internal stresses will be challenging. Joe probably told you. Jake
I heat with firewood and I have a couple friends with log splitters that I can use but it's alot of bending over picking up logs. Once you learn how to cut up your logs, and then learn how to split with an axe and or maul it just doesn't make sense. Log splitters are so much more work and noise. But I burn wood to save money, not spend it.
Splitfire knock off just but not as good cuz splitefire splits both way. But both are subpar. Yep. Ohhhh about the splinter inside is a horrible idea cuz once it breaks it’s a nightmare to fix.
What tonnage is this splitter? Also, small concern is the handle is on the table and potentially in a location that can get bent when throwing a log on the table. Also, this splitter isn't conducive to splitting a 100+ pound log since it has no vertical split option and many people can't lift a log that heavy (and not sure the table can handle that weight). Neat product but probably not for me.
I would like it to have a foot pedal operation with auto return and a lift table so I'm not constantly picking them up 3 feet. The table is a great size and makes the work much easier. Any idea on cost or rough idea yet?
Looks like a nice compact splitter. Disappointed that I couldn’t make the expo. Son’s wedding that weekend….. maybe next time. Have a great soggy day. Raining like crazy here south of Akron.
I was in some serious storms today, hail. ugh. Had it with the rain
Way to slow for my
Iiking!!
This is not the final product. Stay tuned
Great looking machine do you have a price point yet.
The out feed table could be a couple inches longer, so the wood could 'waterfall' into the wheelbarrow. And every Log ox splitter should have a 'cup holder' to hold the log ox round lifter. Grab the round, put the lifter in the holder (instead of on the ground), then grab it when it is needed to lift the next round. Good job so far!!
Good point. We're going to include a couple of places to mount the metal portion of a Hauler Holster directly onto the machine, with the location based on user preference.
Thanks Tanner!
It would be good if it were a little faster and split in both directions.
The price point will be interesting.
That's what I am waiting for.
I like the large work area and compact design. I do think it needs to be just a tad faster and can’t wait to see the price point.
Joe, I appreciate your passion and logox innovation, however I do see a few issues or modifications I’d make.
1. Control valve handle. One…it’s dedicated to one side operation and two, having it on same plane as splitter table is gonna get it bent/broken.
2. Why make wedge stationary? I don’t understand why these mfgs build these resplit machines with the same principles as push through multi wedge machines. My thinking is make wedge movable like a box store but maintain 4-5 sec cycle. Keep side tables large enough to hold resplits on both sides. Why “chase” the wood? Why not keep it in the same location and just move it in and out?Split fire has the right idea but too small side tables and the dual direction splitting is unnecessary when you have a fast cycle. Many mfgs already have the setup in their vertical splitters, now just lay them down and make side tables!!
Nice observations Garny. I wouldn't characterize the TimberOX as simply a resplitter. The idea of push thru is for production so the next split is pushing the previous into the wb. For me when I'm resplitting I am holding onto the main piece so I am always bringing it back into the splitting zone. I do see what you are saying however. I also know that odd things happen when splitting but I believe the handle is in a reasonably safe spot. Only time will tell on that
What about splitting with both strokes and having a second table fold out the back?
Not very user-friendly to put fuel in.
Is the fuel tank accessible because it looks really awkward to get it filled as it is?
If you had a supper split you would be done already piec of junk
I like that machine I would definitely buy one thank you
Thanks Mr Hill
Thanks, be sure to click the link in the video description and sign up for the waitlist. We'll let you know as soon as it's available this summer.
I like the tall height, easier on the back. I also like the big working surface.
I'd like to see options for an auto cycle valve and log lift on the production unit.
What tonnage do they rate the force at?
I am not sure on the tonnage. I'm sure someone from LogOX can speak to that.
Hi Joe!!😀😀
It's definitely a nice little splitter. The only thing I see that I don't like is it's not very convenient to put gas in with the position of the tank.
Take care my friend!!😀😀
Logger Al
There is a hole cut into it for a funnel. Slight trade off for the small size
@@ohiowoodburner that's exactly right, it's easy to fill with a standard-sized funnel. It's also nice to have the gas tank lower to the ground than some other models.
Simple is good. 😊
most cases yes! Thanks Joe
Josh from Stony Ridge is a good follow too, I like his content as much as OWB.
thanks for the nice post buddy
NEW SUB @samdiamond7642 JUST STOPPED AND TOOK A BREAK AND THIS STOCKY SPLITTER POPPED UP BRILLIANT THANKS FOR SHARING THATS AWSOME KEEP THE UPDATES GOING THANKS FOR SHARING!!
Backriver firewood is going to have to start over got hit by a tornado 3 days ago lost some equipment very needed equipment total loss house is not repairable lost chainsaws keep it short basically have to start from scratch there are tons of videos up on UA-cam (rogers arkansas tornado ) .Joe I hope you have a wonderful day sir time to get back to clean, ing up the mess.
So sorry to hear, Mr.Joseph!
Thankfully you are still alive and everything else can be replaced. Keep your chin up and look at this misfortune as an opportunity to start again with a clean slate and make the changes you might have always wanted in your woodyard!👍💪🙏
Impressive if they keep the price competitive with the box store they will sell tons of them. When you split the beech wood it acted like what I expected . I'm impressed with the machine. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for letting us know Joe. I will look for the vids
Does it offer a "4 way" and "6 way" fixed blade?
Too bad it doesn’t have a lift table
Pretty cool. Maybe an option of a foot pedal would be nice. I think thats lacking in the firewood industry. Every thing has a handle, almost everything
Foot pedal is interesting. Hmm...
@@ohiowoodburner so you can have both hands manipulating the wood.
I always throughly enjoy these types of videos where you bring it full circle, Joe. Not sure if I want to call it a 'rant' but you speak truth, man.
I don't firewood like most of your subscribers do or as much as I would like, but I own several LogOx products. I can say this: if any of you aren't sure about a purchase, buy what you are looking at. The 'Hauler' and the 'Woodsling' are possibly two of the best firewood inventions recent history. I would clear areas of woodlots with just a pickup and saws and without that LogOx Hauler I wouldn't have kept doing it. No joke.
So, when this spitter hits the market, it will be just that; a hit. I have no doubts on that.
We appreciate your vote of confidence and are glad to hear you like your LogOX Hauler and WoodOX Sling. We know folks who've used our firewood tools have high expectations, which is why we teamed up with Timberwolf and enlisted the help of firewood experts we trust, like Joe, to put our best foot forward on this project, to deliver an innovative and high-quality product.
Thanks for the nice comment Cody and for your assessment of LogOX. I am in total agreement with you buddy.
@@LogOXUSA The Hauler truly is fantastic. But turns out I use the WoodOx Sling even more. I thought it would be handy but turns out it's a go-to for safety and efficiency bring firewood into my home, as opposed to carrying it. Best yet, I even have spoken to you all directly at one point in the past when I had a question AND you try to take the time on social media to thank folks. That's customer service!
I like the idea for the home owner who likes to be able to split his own wood. KC Don 😉
I agree Don. Thanks for the comment
What is the price point on that unit ?
Joe what is revolutionary about this splitter?
Nothing , this thing is weird .
I don't think a splitter using a push plate and knife powered by hydraulics is revolutionary. The size, footprint, speed and price put it in a class that is underserved by the industry. The only splitters that seem its competitors would be the super splitter, rugged made, ultra etc.
@@ohiowoodburner
Wood-mizer has splitters
with the cylinder underneath.
Very cool!
Seems like it would be hard to fill the gas take.
Back in my day Dad bought them and we tried a lot of them. Lickety Spilt was junk, Mackinaw good splitter but slow and not great on hard splitting string wood. Didier was ok for a cheap splitter for a weekend warrior. We had a prototype we tried where the knife laid down between 2 I beams, good in thinking out of the box but it really life usage again only worked for straight grain smaller wood. The hands down best was a Prentice ( The ones that used to make Log Loaders ) later changed their name to Laffont I believe. Based model came with a 13 inch knife. If it wouldn’t split because it was to tough it would just sheer it apart. They had simple basic splitters up to actual processors. Really great in their day, don’t know if they exist anymore…. I like your attitude about firewood, good stuff.😊
I've seen and used a lot better Splitters than that. The splitter that I used was 95 ton of pressure at the point. Would take a 6 to 7 inch round oak and break it like a toothpick
And what I mean by breaking it like a toothpick cross grain not with the grain
Looks like it could be hard to put in the gas
??? Price / possibility of fueling issues / possible issues with the handle??? If they are going to be made to order then 100% offer added options. Let this or something very similar be the starting base. Foot pedal and log lift would be great options especially if they can be added at a later date by the owner!!!
Foot pedal may be good.
I know they will never do it.
It is too innovative.
They will claim it is a safety issue but I doubt they have any statistics to back up that claim.
Yes, could see the handle operation placement a challenge when lifting big rounds onto table
Fueling is with a funnel. I understand a log lift will be on the next model that will have a log cradle
Great job! I think the LogOx guys are on to something.
I expect they'll sell hundreds, if not thousands!
Keep up the good work!
@@stevecraig3004 Thanks, appreciate you saying so, we look forward to rolling it out.
Nice demo of the Timber Ox. Love the compactness, with a great work surface. It looks like it also has a nice cycle time ( 5 -6 sec). One question, how easy/difficult to fill gas tank since cap looks close to the work surface? Thanks again for your videos.
I like the splitter it does need a log lift though
cycle time to slow i.m.o
I understand the final version will be faster. They have spec'd a new ram but I have no details just yet
I like the eastonmade much better !
Cool stuff.
It looks like it would be a pain to fuel.
I look at a lot of people that make a living (like you) splitting wood. Storing the finished product like you do is not the run of the mill splitter. The other split wood sellers just pile the cut wood in heaps. Not only does it look crap but it also takes up a lot more space. Other times I have noticed wood stored like your wood is stored is at home steeds.
I buy processed cord wood green, I re split it, and more than double my investment. I touch it 5 times. I normally have the time to
invest.
I like it good concept 🔥
If it's a homeowner type machine (with a price to match) it should do well. I don't want to have to use one even though I watch but for the guy who does split wood for camp fire etc. that's great.
If it had a log lift made for it ide get 1
Very cool! Thanks for sharing Joe!
You bet Tom
I would recommend a prototype with the gx240 and see how it handles it.
.
The 240 honda is the smallest of the 1" shaft, and larger gas tank.
For the larger 22gpm pump i would think the 1" shaft would be a requirement.
.
The gx200 and smaller are a 3/4" shaft and smaller gas tank.
Interesting to hear. Thanks for sharing
I think that would be a great for my needs. That large work table is a nice feature
That's one of our favorite parts about the design. Not having to pick up firewood off the ground that has already been split to resplit saves a lot of time and aggravation.
I love the work table. I find working rounds relaxing with this much space to sort and maneuver rounds
@LogOXUSA it's a beautiful design. I've already signed up to the email list
Hey Joe, nice job. I hang my logic off of my IBC totes from my handle. You can probably do the same with the back of the table. It balances nicely if the vibration of the motor isn’t too much.
I think there will be a design added to incorporate the logox. Stay tuned Jeff
Nice design but its missing ability to vertical split or lift. 😞
Well, it is def a horizontal splitter. The log lift I understand will be a feature on a upgraded version. Not sure yet but stay tuned
I like it. Price point will determine sales of course.
You know the price will be high because of the extra machinery underneath the table. How do you redirect the force below? By spending money.
Thanks poker
Is it a left handed setup?
I don't think that is in the plans but could be addressed in the final product
If they can put a lift on it then you really got something...
I'm sorry but I still like a double wheel wheelbarrow better.
haha to each their own JB. One of my accounts have one and I use it when I'm there. Def are nice but it seems for ease of use, putting into the truck, etc I like the single. As long as it's an AM Leonard LOL
@@ohiowoodburner I'm sure it's a fine one. Just my preference when you have to use one all day.
Thats a nice splitter, maybe one day Winston and I will have a nice splitter like that.
Thanks for watching buddy
A lot to like about this. Certainly a big step up from the big box store stuff. Much better design. Add a table to hold logs and load with your loader. Splits can also go in your bucket loader.
You and me see it the same way buddy. Thanks
It may keep up with the SS if it has a 4 way. How about a log lift on the opposite side of the production table?
