Illinois southern part mate!
a quick comment Archie - Just keep doing whatever suits your business model and best utilizes your inputs. Love your videos - I would watch raw footage - I don't mind 45 minutes of excavator, fuel factory or misc. Thanks
I appreciate that!
After everything is completed do they reseed/replant the site or just rely on natural revegetation?
Some let nature do its thing but I believe they are replanting this site
enhancing your TH-cam algorithm, I have subscribed, liked. and I am actively watching and commenting from Quakertown, Pennsylvania, USA.
Kubota excavator pins grease them went your pins are warm like 👍 the end of the day. You well find your pins will hold up 🆙 better buddy . A tip for the day for heavy equipments. 😊 place for D6 dozer for that little job more faster . 😊
HTA has finished his Pomd. David UK.
I know I’ve been watching 😆
Nice video archie you have some good timber there and you are doing a brilliant job with your digger I think a land rake would do you better keep up the good work mate thanks. Andy. 🤙
Yes I agree I may get one if is regular work
I hear a lot of other channels complaining that their gopro cameras are also overheating, so it is not just the DJI cameras.
Hey. Majority of our work is tree surgery based but we produce around 150-200 ibcs per year. Based in Dorchester, Dorset
Thanks for the review I'd asked for. Could I ask for a recommendation for an entry level processor for mainly Sitka spruce?
Depends on what size you are getting up to? If it’s smaller the palax c750 is a great machine
each to there own,, but i think id keep the pickup you have ... if its serviced as it should be,, then it is very unlikely to give you bother and would be cheaper to drive it into the ground,,,, if you dont have repayments to make on something that depricates then your cash flow is better, and you have more cash to invest in the business,,, and you never know,,, what oppertunitys are around the corner,, that the cash would be handy for,,,, you will get the same price for firewood what ever way its delivered.
went past your Aztec pals on way to East Grinstead yesterday, lads have got some nice kit
They sure do!
Thank you for a really good demonstration of your machine. I am incredibly impressed. I have worked with firewood in Denmark, but in Denmark, it has received a lot of criticism for polluting the air. That's nonsense if you ask me. If the wood is dry and burned properly, it doesn't pollute. Regarding the optimization of the machine, I would definitely choose to install a conveyor belt between the splitter and your current conveyor belt. If it were up to me, I would set it up with the JAPA drum cleaner and then continue to your current conveyor belt. That means the conveyor belt lifts up to the deck in the splitter room. Seal off the wall for noise, but include a door. Set up the JAPA drum cleaner along the wall and let it drop into the corner where your current conveyor belt will be located. This way, you can already sort out bark and other small debris early on. Afterwards, the completely clean pizza oven firewood will end up in the IBC containers. There should be minimal waste and cleanup around the IBC containers. When I delivered firewood in Denmark, we worked a lot with handling the finished product, just like what you're aiming for or working to achieve. It's a joy to see that someone can create machines that are almost fully automatic. And that remote control is invaluable-brilliant. Jesper - DK
Do u work by yourself ?
Yes, sometimes there is someone at the yard but delivery etc just by me
🏴👍
We have a 2007 L200 single cab, 198k’s on the clock and keeps going. Cost me £2500 10 years ago! There’s no reason why yours couldn’t do the same. The repair bills won’t be any where the payments. It’s a bad year if it costs £250 a year to keep on the road.
That’s very good going 👍🏼
5.5t tipper van? 4x4 even 🤷♂️
I don’t sell many loose loads if I’m honest
Personally there is a certain something to be said for the factory wheels never mind the cost saving
I'm from Atlanta,Ga.USA
Good to hear the orders are coming in again. It must be so hard to keep focused through summertime with little to no money coming in. Gotta say that little crane is worth its weight in gold for that job mate, When you were 1st talking about getting one I couldn't see the logic of it tbh but hey, Its paying off nicely by saving your back & shoulders. You really need to start taking a short ladder/steps with you though... Makes me cringe seeing you climbing about on the load like you do. As you strap down the bags anyway it'd be no extra hassle just to lay a short ladder on top before you strap.
Thanks! Yeah it does get hard but it’s all part of running a business I guess! Yeah good idea
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news Archie but your D-Max does have a DPF filter. The DPF collects exhaust soot particles and the AdBlue system treats the exhaust to lower nitrous oxide levels. The two systems have a different purpose.
How weird I’ve never seen or heard it doing a regen?
@@oakfarmfirewood Not all vans do a regen that you would notice. If they get sufficient higher revs running, many will be just fine.
Interesting thanks
@@oakfarmfirewood It probably regens when you are out and about on the motorway so you probably wouldn't notice. Roughly speaking about every 500 km's or so depending on your loads etc.
@6point5by55 it has never come up with a light or anything.
I work on a lot of Isuzu engines in Takeuchi and case excavators and there are a few Isuzu grafters and d max trucks on the fleet and I can’t say a bad thing about them have seen them go for over 13000 hours and never been opened up. Yes the trucks are a bit agricultural but bullet proof yours has plenty of life left in it yet id say
Nice to hear! Thanks
Your second vehicle will come to its own when the business grows and you hire help to drive deliveries. Its coming. Just dont leave the dunny paper on the dash. The second timber deck for the palax will drive the business forward,,,, when one comes available jump on it.
In my fleets, ive always noticed the cost to run most vehicles and equipment is the same. A payment or repairs or a mixture of both. Pick the balance that works for your and your income. We had an old fleet when we expanded and it cost us exactly the same as payments not counting down time. The last 3 months my repair bill for 32k and i own part of the auto shop so we went and bought 9 new pickups. Still have a few old ones for lower mileage uses or spare
Wow that’s impressive! Cheers
@@oakfarmfirewood thanks. Love watching your growth in your business. You're very good at seeing efficiency
Its a backup truck at this point so I wouldn't just replace it to keep it new (unless you are also using this as your personal daily).
If you own a piece of iron you will make more money than rentals or payments. I drive desiel trucks to 500000 which gives me 5 to 7 years of “free” usage. Repairs are cheaper than payments. Good luck! Iron will always be a liability
Interesting thanks
Once you own your equipment you are going to have more profit. The issue is possible downtime which always comes when you least need it to happen. If you can afford it, trade it in for a new one after 5 years. Warranty can be extended by the dealer when they resell, so don’t worry about that, no need to sell after 4 years.
Thanks for your input
Your other wheels covered your truck in mud to the point where the livery couldnt be seen. If you put them back on get proper size mud gards too.
Call the banker you need it!
🤘
Scaff makes great kindling.
My thoughts exactly
Great video Archie.. good to see everything coming together.. just about time for an inventory video..
Working on it!
Love the Palex machine. A couple of dealers for them in the USA been trying for 2 months to get a quote no luck no idea why. In the summer around here in Wisconsin we switch over to sawmill slabwood bundles can get them cheap 25 dollars on softwood 75 dollars on hardwood white oak, cherry , red oak, walnut so on. Bundle size is basically 4 ft x 4 ft by 9 ft length weight around a ton on softwood ton and a half+ on hardwood. We also use a m6- m13 turbosawmill from New Zealand for lumber and a firewood breakdown saw around 10,000 dollars USA price currently. Biggest log so far I broke down on it was 3 meter across by 6 meter long. 9 ft across by 18 ft long . Took about 4 hrs. Breaks down into 6 in x 6 in fence post stock. Or chuck into prosesser for firewood.
Very nice! Yeah Palax would be great for cutting them packs maybe the big c1000
What are doing with your large logs (might have to get the 500i out)
Might have something very big to show you guys! Not sure when but fingers crossed 🤞🏼
very handy machine, the extra concrete is paying for itself now,,,,its amazing how much yard space is needed, to make it comfortable to work,,,, you deserve a lot of credit, hope you have a busy winter,,
Thank you, yes it’s definitely helping and a lot safer
Interesting to see nothing goes to waste, out of curiosity, what happens to the sawdust? x
Gets sold for horse/cattle bedding
It's all money in the bank and pay day is coming around quickly. Have you thought about an awning down the entire length of the shed including the business end of the kilns. Then it wouldn't really matter if it's hot or raining cats and dogs.
Would be some money that! Would like to save for a new barn if I can get one
You're smashing all of your goals so who knows what you're capable of.
I think a sacrificial wooden pad on the end of that hydraulic pusher would reduce the need to manually fix the incomplete splitting.
True but would also poke out and catch the log in the closed position. is possibly something I can do
Andy on holiday Archie?
Yes back in September
Get some coloured zipties for those hydraulic fittings, works like a charm 👌
Yes I have cable ties for the other machine just need to put them on the Palax to. 👌🏽
That Palax machine is a beast ~ it’s like a hot knife through butter !! Thanks for another informative video …. Cheers 👍🏻
It’s great on the smaller stuff. 💪🏼
It is a nice machine for smaller wood, be great when you get it set up with its own timber deck, so as not needing to move it.
Yes I can’t wait, and connected a dust extraction
Nice machine 😎👍🇬🇧🇩🇰
Thanks 👍
Hi as a truck crane operator many yrs ago your pump is calibrated to run at 1000 rpm so the rams work as they are designed to do but ask the crane people who supplied the crane to advise you cheers
Yes he told me to run at 1000 rpm when I was learning I was running it a little slower. But now I’m smooth with 1000rpm 👍🏼
Just a bit too early for me here in NZ.
🤘
