This awesome. Friend and I have been talking of making something. I have all kinds of old stuff to make it out of including a JD combine for a power plant. Glad this came up for me to watch. Thanks for sharing Tyson!
Nice little video montage you have to open and close out your videos with Tyson. Interesting design and construction of a simple DIY wood processing station by a clever wood chopper too. -Bob...
The best firewood I have found was oak. Burns hot and lasts a long time. To bad there is not much of it out west. And what is cut down is not replaced with oak. Takes to long to mature. Thanks for the great videos Tyson.
Nice piece of engineering. Regarding the cutting speed, you might try a .404 "slasher" chain. It would take a new chain saw sprocket & bar, since the drive links are farther apart, but it will give a faster, more aggressive cut at lower RPMs.
rebuild it so when your log falls, it's ALWAYS dead center of your wedge. Also, redesign it to ALWAYS be cutting the next round vs having to wait to cut one
Yeah there's a couple of units like that in this area, farmer engineered and run till it quit breaking, lol. Some companies spend millions paying college engineers to make over complicated versions of this that don't last a winter.
Haha... yea... a neighbour had one he bought and he never liked it.. didnt work well.. My cousin looked at it and said I can make a better one so... .he did lol
The log stop for gauging block length is too stiff. Block is binding the saw and he has to reach in and push it too often. A lot of wood processors I have seen have the gauge stop move away when cutting starts. Some good ingenuity in this invention.
Tyson, just for shits and grins (and if you had an extra $900 grand laying around ;) what’s your dream tractor build and one dream implement? Wheeled? Tracks? That would best fit your operation. Is there one that you could put on a big blade when ur scraping/pushing that would replace the D8 or do you think it’s best to have a dedicated dozer?
Oh man...probably a big versatile on tracks...hooked up to a new air drill....but that alone would cost over a million for sure ! For the most part I wouldn’t use a tractor and blade for what we do...the cats are built so tough and heavy just for that.
I thought I would watch a few of your old vidjeo tonight since you had trouble with you new video ! Ryan said you were having some trouble with it that sucks ! 🤬 Hopefully you can get it figured out Tyson !👍
You should run the conveyor system off the same valve body as the splitting cylinder it would only allow the conveyor to operate each time as you are splitting the wood and would stop when you stop splitting, the reason I would do so is to divert the power that's wasted running the conveyor seytem constantly and unnecessarily to the saw that's way to slow and it would make the operation so much more efficient and less wear and tear as well . Just saying I love the concept and construtuion of your machine and I would love to have the equipment and available materials ,I have all kinds of ideas and some are actually pretty good ones lol sucks being poor and constrained, just makes one wonder how great the world could be if all men realized their full potential and abilitys ??? God bless and be kind and let's make our would a better place all ....
That makes sense... I agree that the chain saw is running to slow... That was my first time seeing it run.. I thought the saw would have ran like the ones on the feller bunchers in the bush
The hydraulic motor running outfeed conveyor could be a flow eating monster. To test the theory he could block the ports feeding outfeed belt and see if it sends more flow to the saw motor. Pressure and flow make or break a project. The bucksaw I built from junk has a 404 processor bar and chain on it. If I try to feed the cut too fast or it pinches in the cut, it stops the chain. I am now running an 18 hp motor with a 22 gpm log splitter pump and it cuts the wood at about 1" diameter per second. The engine running this has all the capability to cut fast with the right parts. I have been hauling home broken/short log yard ends from the sawmill I work at. Larch, Douglas Fir, Lodgepole, Ponderosa Pine, Hemlock, White Fir are all in the pile. Yes I live in the Montana.
Tyson, tell your cousin that is a great machine, but your going to have to get a lot more of that popular wood, there is not much heat value in it. if your going to be able to heat all winter.
Tyson, too bad you could not get some BC Larch or grand fir, they burn hot and long and the leave almost no ash, which is a biggy for me, burn 4 months steady and empty the ash box once a month, I have burnt poplar in a pinch but leaves too much ash and is not really hot compared to larch fir or birch and maple.
"If they can't find you handsome, at least they can find you handy." Not trying to throw any shade, by the way. Is this contraption used mainly for commercial firewood production or more for personal household heating? Maybe Cotontop3 needs to make a trip across the border to check it out.
I think what your cousin is cutting up there, we would call aspen down here in the OH PA area. Some quick internetting suggests that firewood is better than poplar and as good as soft maple. Keep up the good work!
Like the new intro. That is quite the homemade machine. It amazes me what people can put together with repurposed parts. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for video Tyson and like your cousin wood processor .
Your cousin is a tough ol' bird, quite the rig. Thanks for the video Tyson.
Great video Tyson awesome looking wood splitter machine
I would tighten the chain & use 2 big pieces of angle to force those logs to center on the wedge. Great job!
Thats what he was saying to me... redesign the spliter portion to make sure they go in the middle
You got one kool cousin!Like the new upgrade too!
Thanks Tyson. Had to watch this one twice, once for the wood processing and once again for the background... Cam
What did you notice in the backround
This is Lance from Alabama I love the new wood processor
Always nice seeing you Tyson..... That long splitter is pretty cool... thumbs up....
Awesome! Great intro again! Really enjoy your channel. 🙌
Thanks!!
I like the fancy new intro clip.
Aw I love the new intro! Looks awesome!!
Yea its pretty Neat huh?
Great work on the machine - love the idea that it can cut such long logs!.
thats a real piece of work
That is one kool machine !! He was showing off splitting two at once . Haha
Your farm needs one !
Great bit of engineering, very impressive. Just tighten the dam chain!
Lol yea I noticed it was loose to
Add some bar oil as well. The chain looked dry.
@@nomerc3608 it gets oil from that tube everytime you make a cut..it squeezes the trigget
Speed that chain up going way to slow to cut for the down cut
I realize Im pretty off topic but does anyone know of a good place to watch new tv shows online ?
Have to say,, loving the intro. 👌
Thanks. Bob Krone did a amazing job
This awesome. Friend and I have been talking of making something. I have all kinds of old stuff to make it out of including a JD combine for a power plant. Glad this came up for me to watch. Thanks for sharing Tyson!
No problem at all
good stuff. looks like your cousin is a gadget guy. the new intro is looking good as well.

Takes to long to mature. Thanks for the great videos Tyson.
Pretty cool build. Love your new intro!!!
Man I love that opening video!!!!
Haha..yea it's pretty good
I like it. We have something similar. Made from potato conveyor belt and car rims.
Haha..right on!!
Impressive. My back's saying "Yes Please".
I know right... He even uses a special bucket to scoop up the split wood to dry pile it after
Love the new open video
Ty I just love the intro. Pretty neat wood splitter, not something you see down here on the prairies.
Thank you for answering my question
Pritty sweet mill !!!
very well done
I really like your new intro!!
Nice setup pretty neat
Looks like it works good
Ingenuity! It's a great thing.....
Like the new intro, thanks for sharing my friend...
Nice fabrication right there.
There is always two or three ex-girlfriends that thumbs down great content like this...
Haha
thanks for the video tyson
Tyson, you and Shaun should bring trees to be and split to your uncle wood saw/wood buster wow in one day could have enough wood to do the winter.
Yea its impressive
@@Northern_Farmer yes it is very impressive.
Wow, thats a great construction.
Must have been a lot of work to make it.
I remember seeing him work on it from time to time
Pretty cool!!!
awesome!
I was going to title it...Nitro Nick's homemade wood processor lol
Like your new intros.
Thanks
I like your new logo of your farm and internet name.
Very nice I really like the intro

Thanks for the tips.. Ill pass it on
rebuild it so when your log falls, it's ALWAYS dead center of your wedge. Also, redesign it to ALWAYS be cutting the next round vs having to wait to cut one
Thats what he was explaining to me that day.... should be a v design
Good engineering
Would like to see some spraying if possible. Thank you
I'm getting at it
Thanks Tyson. Like the new up graded and fancier intro. Is Shaun your co-producer? LOL.
Is the John Deere combine in the background the donor combine
I believe it is!!!
years ago I use to cut fire wood, I sure could have used that machine.
Seems like the saw speed is too slow
I agree... he said thats the biggest motor he could find for the saw chain... it should be spinning twice as fast as that I think!!!
@@Northern_Farmer Needs to be smaller displacement to spin faster, not bigger
Amazing ingenuity though can’t help but think the cutting part is very slow?
I agree..it should be able to slice right through those green poplars
Nice you put shaun in the intro
I have been working on the same thing this summer... I'm getting to old to handle it by hand
Yea he barely does any heavy work with it now
That chain and bar need looking after better.
Looked alright to me..just a bit loose. Needs more chain speed though.
Couldn't let south sask farmer have all the glory eh? Nice opening!
Lol..what can I say..Bob does great work!
I like the new intro...
How long does he cut his stove wood?
How long as in length?
@@Northern_Farmer Yes
@@rmack48 I dunno..looks to be about 2 feet
Coolest thing ever.
Don't understand the dislikes, that's recycling at it finest and using a RENEWABLE RESOURCE to heat with
And a fantastically oversized engine for a soundtrack!

Great amount of engineering but I think I could outproduce it with a conventional log splitter, for awhile anyway til I wore out.
Thats the whole point though.... He doesnt have to wear himself out with this machine... just sits on a log and cuts...

How much wood do you burn?
Well that's not for me..but I do know he burns a lot of wood during the winter
I thought I would watch a few of your old vidjeo tonight since you had trouble with you new video ! Ryan said you were having some trouble with it that sucks ! 🤬 Hopefully you can get it figured out Tyson !👍
Combain angine tu run small hydraulic pump???
No...I don't think so...probably run a bigger one
Needs a saw motor off a harvester and it would work much better. Hes got plenty of hyd n power.
I agree... that motor runs it to slow
@@Northern_FarmerI bet I could come up with a used one off a bone yard machine if he was interested. .
Love the new intro. also that chain seems a bit loose on the saw
It was yea
Nice setup, but chain on saw is dangerously slack
Yea it was a bit loose
Now that is one hell of an operation lol!!!
Yea I have been up close to that thing but had never seen it run until yesterday
I have the same set up but I use 7 varsity football players and my neighbor’s 200-pound twin sisters 🤣
@@bobcrone6151 lmao
@@bobcrone6151 lmao
Heavy Duty 😁
This guy has to be a millwright!
Nope..just a ole farmer
Is it powered by a diesel engine
Gas 6 cylinder
It is one big machine
I swear all of us oilbertans have at least one pair of those blue coveralls with the reflecting tape on them 😂
I have 5

Splash some paint on that and it's a 200k outfit.
Yea paint it green
Paint it green and it would be 250k
Tyson, tell your cousin that is a great machine, but your going to have to get a lot more of that popular
wood, there is not much heat value in it. if your going to be able to heat all winter.
I dunno...the dry poplar we use in the stove burns pretty hot...more than the spruce

No..he uses it to cut his own firewood for the next winter
@@Northern_Farmer It looks like you will have plenty of poplar to keep it busy either way.
You should replace the hydraulic chainsaw with an electric one ,it would speed up the process big time brother ..
Like a 12 volt just running off battery or a 120 volt?
👍👍👍🚜🐃🐂🐮🐄
Very cool he was able to make that machine! What language was he speaking?
English lol
@@Northern_Farmer Oh sorry. I could not understand anything he was saying.
I think what your cousin is cutting up there, we would call aspen down here in the OH PA area. Some quick internetting suggests that firewood is better than poplar and as good as soft maple. Keep up the good work!
Yea.. Aspen.. poplar... same thing. ..lol
Your cousin is wearing one of your set of coveralls. You need to sell them
I dont need to sell them lol..like I said..that's what everyone wears over here.
Seemed like I was watching paint dry!
Cant please everyone... I guess..but I dont think anything please you
Speed that saw up and you’d have a darn good machine
Yea it should be faster
Gee I appreciate his enthusiasm but I’m not sure that much faster than the fashioned way. The splitting part is nice
Well this way he does no lifting...pretty hard at his age
Is that your dad
Cousin
Why would you waste time on popular trees for fire wood??? Only thing it good for is beaver food.
poplar is great when its dry... burns nice and hot.. .just lots of ash. Nothing else to cut around here...
Wahnsinn wie langsam und zugleich gefährlich das Teil ist!
It's way to slow... it cost more in diesel then it produce...
Not at all...plus it doesn't burn diesel
chainsaw is sooo slow.... Time is money....
Not for your own though
next time, leave the junk in the junkyard
Why
