That’s the best processer I’ve seen on TH-cam ever,what a beast 👍
It sure can send the wood out in a hurry , Thanks for watching
No wood table necessary, no log length restrictions, no sawdust, a lot to like about these
Your right its about as simple as it gets and its fast . To bad they dont make them anymore .
@@AllenFamilyFirewoodIt's about $100 light in the truck. The marks are for when it's full. But it isn't full . I swear half the TH-cam firewood folk sell light cords. Ridiculous.
@@AllenFamilyFirewoodthis a and b guy has claims against him for stealing deposits for stump grinding too. The last cord on his truck is at least ten percent light. And he steals deposits for work.
@@sasquatchrosefarts my Cusin just works for them I don’t know the owners and have never met them . As a TH-cam channel and firewood producer myself I went up to video my Cusin running this neat machine .
The power of that shear is mind blowing.
Love Lyle's sense of humor! 😂
Some serious tonnage behind that to cut them sticks . We both love to have fun an get stuff done .
What a monster! Lol, love that beast! Talk about getting work done & not beating yourself up too much
Sure is the way to split wood . Fast an easy to bad they don’t make them splitters anymore .
This is like winning the firewood lottery! Thanks for sharing!
It sure is an amazing machine!
Hey Phil , that machine is awesome . That is the first time I ever seen one like that . Thanks for sharing !! 👍🏻🇺🇸🪵
Same here Dell we are going to go video some different wood yards once a week like this video an see how they do things an hopefully learn some new ideas an tricks along the way .
I rewatched the video all the way through. You two meat sticks busted on me pretty good. I about busted my gut laughing.
Lol thats what friends are for bud
They were a little hard on you, but they did compliment your welding.
@@jameschandler2776 they are just jealous of me because God only created so many perfect heads and the rest he covered with hair. Just saying. Lol.
@@smorefirewood Now that is funny.
I can’t believe that v blade cuts right through those logs like that. Will it go through nasty knarly knotted wood just as easy? Nothing stopping it from going through huh? I’m impressed. ✌️👍🇺🇸
That’s gota be the most impressive splitter I’ve ever seen . If the log fits through it will cut it with that blade . Once ya hook up a log to it ya just sit back and let it do its thing . Later this summer I will probably go up again and do another video of it running with more details .
Awesome processor. Amazed they stopped making them (do you inow the manufacturer?) Simple, compact and efficient. One man can do it all without breaking a sweat. And not being forced to be a full-time lever monkey is a big benefit - makes the day go faster.
Lyle called it a chomper but a few other comments said it was called a sweet 16 . Some of the other commentors on here have done some research on it an had some great info in there comment
That's amazing. I can't believe how clean it shears the logs. Another great video Phil.
To be honest i think shearing the log helps the wood dry a lil faster , it sure dose a nice job
@@AllenFamilyFirewood that's an interesting take.
That is one heck of a machine. Thanks for sharing it with us.
It is perdy nifty . We thank you for watching
Thanks for talking us along Phil.
Even for me i mainly do home heating for woodstoves so this would be impressive..
Thanks Danial Im not sure anyone makes a processor that will fit your kind of wood lol . We are going out to a different woodyard ea week to video how they do things an hopefully learn a few tricks along the way . Something to help fill in while my hand is healing up an i can get back at it
WOW what a machine Thanks for sharing
Amazing how easy that machine is to run an how much wood it can put out . Thanks for watching
Great machine and great demo. Thanks for sharing your video.
It sure puts out the wood fast an it don’t take much effort to do it
I like it! No saw dust mess and no saw to sharpen. Really does a beautiful job...
Its surprising how clean of a cut it makes i figured it would be all tore up on the ends
🤘that machine is wicked! And Lyle seems like quite a character 😅
It sure can send the wood out fast . Lyle an i always have fun when we are together .
Lyle is a trip lol. Love that processor! Glad the hand is getting better. Stay safe and have a great day…
Thanks Donald you should meet him in person lol.
that machine is very well thought out from an engineering point of view . The fact that one person can run it ,and not having to replace chains ,sharpen and lube them with a lost oil system all make for a reliable economic machine to run
It's a great machine! Wish they still made them
I want one slickest processor i ever seen have a good night Phil keep video coming bee safe
I want one to but i dont know if i would like buying all that wood in i kinda like free wood
Great video Phil! 👍 Thanks for taking us along.
Thanks Terry we will be going to a different wood yard each week videoing how they are doing things . Should be a fun trip ea week an hopefully learn some new stuff along the way
superb machine makes light work or processing the fire wood . thanks for taking time out to show this
Sure takes the work outa it . We are going to go once a week to a different wood yard an video how they do things an hopefully get some new ideas an tricks to show everyone.
Great video and nice work Phil and Lyle! Poor Dana though! Looking forward to a field trip to Lyles Saw Mill sometime soon. 👍
Thanks mom a road trip to play on his mill an go for a buggy ride is in the works once things slow down a bit with the wood stands .
Very efficient machine! Thanks
It sure is! Thanks for watching Kerry!
You wood guys are so cool. I really enjoyed this video. That's a very impressive machine
Thanks we had alot of fun doing this video . Rule #1 around here is always have fun . We really appreciate ya watching an leaving a comment Greg
I saw one similar to this on YT some time ago and then I saw one on line for sale a few years back. This design is great. Thanks for posting.
We saw it on woodtimes in the 207 on you tube an figured it would work great for us .
@@AllenFamilyFirewood Well, you sure hit a home run with it. Good decision.
Really interesting processor! Thanks for taking us along.
Guy could put out some serious wood running that thing . We are going to go once a week to someone elses wood yard and do a video just to see how other people are getting it done an learn a few tricks along the way .
@@AllenFamilyFirewood Great idea, looking forward to going along.👍
GREAT VIDEO!!!!!!!🎉
Thanks!!
i am impressed. not at all what i thought it would look like when he described it. the wedge does a cleaner cut then i thought it would. i figured it would leave a gnarly end on each piece but it looks pretty clean. love the Dr Pepper shirt to.
Just so everyone knows fishingfanatic207 is my son lil Phil that is always helping me in the wood yard . I thought it would be all crushed on the ends also but it makes a nice clean cut . I thought you would like the dr pepper shirt .
My goodness if you were in rhe firewood business what a machine to have you can't beat it! Thanks great video!😂
That rig can eat a trailer truck load of wood in less than a day . Probably need a few trucks to get rid of the wood or things could pile up fast .
good video that is the best one i have seen really powerful tell the boss that what you want for Christmas. take care, be safe and well.
Thats the fastest ive seen 4 cord done especially from such a small machine . She would beat me senseless if i came home with one of them lol.
I appreciate your choice of content of showing other wood yards. I don’t think most people don’t realize how many different ways there are to operate a wood yard and different kinds splitters and processors out there. Good idea.
We have a few different wood yards lined up to video . Im always up for learning something new an picking up a few tricks along the way plus i love seeing different splitters an meeting new like minded folks .
@@AllenFamilyFirewood I think you really have something here in addition to your regular content.
@@revjohnvh I like to be different an try new stuff everything is a challenge to me to see if i can make my crazy ideas work . Right now having my thumb all stove up seemed to be the right time to give this a try an see ware it goes .
@@AllenFamilyFirewood With your thumb messed up, this is a great time to do videos of other people working. You got lemons, make, lemonade.
Only thing I can say about that machine is impressive. Thanks for showing it
Thats wat i was thinking after watching it run . We are going to go out once a week to someone elses wood yard an video how they do things an hopefully learn a few tricks along the way . Really appreciate ya watching
Very nice processor. It provides some nice kindling too.
That was quite the rig Alan . Sure can put some wood out in a hurry an with not alot of effort .
Cool setup, 🪵👍🏼🇺🇸
I was impressed with how fast it was with next to no work operating it
I have seen one of these in person, and frankly I don't know why there aren't more of these : One man operation, compatible with skidders and pickup trucks. What more could you ask for ? There is a theory that a guillotine opens up the end grains better than a chain or circular saw. The only downside is all the hydraulic hoses but it's a small price to pay !
Totally agree with you! Don't know why they ever stopped making these machines! Takes all the work out of it!
Bloody Nora that machine is amazing! Could give you nightmares though with that great big knife. Incredible engineering and a hilarious video. It's a 👍from me
Thanks Cliff! Appreciate you watching! It's definitely an amazing machine
Well that like nothing I’ve seen before! Thanks for sharing this with us! You guys are hard in poor Dana!!!
Jeff
Thanks Jeff it sure is a neat rig . You should see the 3 of us when we are all standing together lol we tend to rib each other perdy hard but its all in fun an we are always there to help each other out .
@@AllenFamilyFirewood friends that stick closer than brothers!
This is awesome
Thanks David
she chews da wood off by, saw the couple of those shear version units always impressed by how clean it cuts considering its not being cut with a tooth , good stuff Phil
Sure does ,it is neat how clean it cuts the wood .
Thats a Cool processor!! Like the guillotine cutting!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day
Its the first processor ive seen with a guillotine . We are going to go out to different woodyards once a week to video how they do things an show different brands of splitters an processors .
Wow. I have never seen a splitter like that. Unbelievable with that shear. Phil nice video. Very much appreciated.
It sure gets the job done in a hurry with no sweating required .
@@AllenFamilyFirewood
It is a Chomper.
Instead of a saw
it uses a guillotine.
There must be something wrong with this type because it is not very popular.
Very cool process!!
Tyler
Thanks Tyler it sure does alot for such a small machine
Wow enjoyed this. Never seen one like this
We are going to go video a different wood yard ea week like in this video to see how everyone else is doing things an hopefully learn a few tricks along the way . Thanks for watching Tommy
I would have been happy with that old Split-Fire - Lyle's machine hurt my credit score just looking at it lol. I can't imagine what that must have cost new!
Mark i bet it wouldnt cost much to get that Split Fire back in working order it looked to me like every thing was there . I should have asked him if he knew what that rig cost new im betting it was a down payment on a house back then an then youd have to buy the wood to feed it . That thing will do an easy 15 cord a day so a couple grand a day in just wood .
I've got to say that is a nice machine Lyle
I know Lyle watches the videos but i dont think he has learned how to go in the comments yet but i will tell him for ya .
From Andover in the Uk 👍more great content phil
Thanks for watching Alan . From Andover to Andover thats perdy neat .
Pretty impressive Phil!👍👍
Thanks Jerimia it sure was neat to see it run . Hopefully we will be seeing some axis splitting videos from you soon .
Great video phil . 😊
Thanks Leonard we had alot of fun doing that one .
I have another friend who has one similar. I haven’t seen it run yet. Slicker than snot on a doorknob
Sure is . Id ask ya to build me one but im to cheep to buy wood lol.
@@AllenFamilyFirewood it will just have to be a really really big one.
@@smorefirewood Something that would take a 30 in stick sounds about right lol. Just mail me the bill for it ha ha
That thing is an absolute beast.. I want one .. and his log loader too.. very impressive to say the least
It sure puts out the wood fast , its boiler wood but dang its easy an the fastest ive seen anyware for putting out alot of wood . Shame the company went outa bussiness an dont make them anymore .
Close to what I envisioned years ago when I was heating with wood. Process tree length, cut to length with a guillotine, have an adjustable splitter for different diameter rounds, and make it easily transportable. YOU DID A BRILLIANT JOB ON COMING UP WITH THE AUTOMATED PROCESS, DESIGN, AND FABRICATION. On my vision I had a mini log loader grapple to bring in the tree lengths. Plus a separate ram for splitting. Your combining the operation is visionary. Limiting it to 14" is perfect. Any logs over that should go to a sawmill anyway . Automated, compact, and adjustable, you have covered everything. It makes what is available on the commercial market look like JUNK in my estimation. Lastly, Have you an idea for an automated wood pile/stacker?
We didn’t build it I think it was called a chomper but there was a company producing them commercially but they went outa business 7 or 8 yrs ago . My Cusin runs the machine for a guy a told me about it so being in the wood business an having a TH-cam channel I figured we would do a road trip to go see it in action . It sure can put the wood through it fast .
The best prosesser i have ever seen nice
It sure will put out a lot of wood fast an with very lil effort
Love old tech great machine
Thanks John! It sure is an amazing machine. Thanks for watching!
Very slick rig for sure Phil. Have seen one years ago maybe the same one. Think Dana could build one. He's the sharpest knife in the drawer 🎉
I know he could build one that guy can build anything an has for me . My splitter is just his latest creation . Id love to have him build me one but i dont want to have to buy wood in an i dont think id like the price tag to have it built
No saw kerf waste, and no chain maintenance, no precutting, ground level loading, largely hands off operation just oversight, much lower operator physical work load during operation, 1 cord every 30 min. There's got to be a catch really impressive demo WOW Ray Stormont
Only down fall i see is you would have to buy in the wood to feed it an need alot of room to stock pile the wood to dry . That rig will eat a trailer truck load of wood in less than a day . Thanks for watching Ray
@@AllenFamilyFirewood AGREED but most firewood operations are sized in multiple acres. Thanks for responding I am a recent sub. and enjoy your videos. This machine is so efficient and will extend the use by operator as much less physical requirements are needed and one could continue to process wood at greatly increased age. It seems to me that suppliers would be more inclined to bring wood to this type of operation as they do not need to cut logs to a maximum or minium length reducing their log processing costs.
Excellent machine,making quick work of the 🪵 ❤😊😮
It sure sends it out in a hurry
Very economical and efficient process 💪
It sure is!
That's really cool
It sure is. gets it done in a hurry
That shear is a hot knife through butter ! Well done 👏
Yeah, it's quite the machine gets it done in a hurry
No sweat i like it
That would work for me also i hate the heat .
Jumpins, that’s quite a machine. I’ve seen that type of cutter on other videos, but not on a machine like that one. That is slick. Lyle will never let the thumb joke go. Hehe.
Those splitfire wood splitters are a great machine too. I’ve use those before.
Have a great day fellas.
Sure is a neat rig an its fast . I think the thumb jokes are gona be around for a while lol. Id never seen a split fire splitter before but it lookes like it has split alot of wood back in the day . Thanks for watching Noel we appreciate it .
@@AllenFamilyFirewood those splitfire wood splitters were and still are, I think, popular with the rental company’s to rent out to people around here.
Split both ways is neat on those.
Have a great day.
Wow, that's a hell of a rig
It sure can put some wood out without alot of work involved
That’s a awesome machine! Doesn’t get much easier than that.
Perdy much just stand there an watch it run other than rigging up another log .
Those are the best processor's I have seen. They were made by Reiner in Washington State they went out of business about 7 years ago or so. I have only ever seen 2 in person.
They sure are slick im surprised someone hasnt started producing them again
Thats the best processor ive seen in a long time
Thats what i was thinking after watching it run
@@AllenFamilyFirewood I hope you keep it and show it more
@@daviddrury3581 it’s not mine I went to ware my Cusin works an watched him run it
hi there quite the machine . i like it , john
Thanks John its a perdy slick rig .
Wow that is quite the machine, makes firewood very quick. it’s amazing watching the guillotine work. Thumbs up
Hard to believe it has that much power to just cut down threw them logs like that
That’s awesome
I sure was impressed with it .
I wanna get one of those!!
I wish they still made them! That machine is awesome
Hello Phil that’s definitely not the campfire wood you are producing. Great video glad to see you didn’t have to do any work. Keep that hand resting and let it finish healing.
Ya that would need a few more knifes to get the wood down to the size i like it . Im going to start going out once a week to someone elses wood yard an video how they do things i think i have quite a few lined up already . Few different processors an a few different brands of splitters just to see how everyone else does things , share a few tricks an see what we can learn along the way .
I don't know why every firewood processor wouldn't want one of these. I have never seen one. Cool place, nice video.
I hadnt seen one before either . Im going to start going out once a week to other wood yards an video how they do things . Im always happy to pick up a few tricks an learn new things .
This splitter is light years ahead of anything elseout there. All i can say is wow!
yeah, it's an amazing machine. wish they still made them, not sure why they don't
That was very impressive, boy Dana was bashed around like a rented Mule! No chain sharpening but that shear sure has a sharp edge. Check out Mills that cut Veneer logs, strapped to a carriage that travels vertically against a fixed Knife- get 50-60 slices per inch thickness- now that is some thin Salami!! Take care🇺🇸( oh yeah logs are soaked for a few days in hot water to soften them up )
Yes that was quite the wood splitten rig . Lyle Dana an i have have always busted on each other in fun over the yrs but we are always the first call when in need . I will have to ck that out thanks .
I would LOVE to get my hands on the blueprints for that machine!
Me too! it really takes the work out of it
Interesting machines for sure, I never realized they were that automated.
That rig dose it all for ya perdy much just sit back an watch it go
I wonder why they stopped building them. Nicely done, guys. Thank you.
Im not sure why they stopped building them . Ive never seen a rig that easy to run that can produce that amount of wood in such a short time .
Brilliant design. Wish they made something like it now.
No kidding! Surprised someone hasn't replicated it yet.
The simpler the better,
I agree. quite the machine
Well i must admit, that processor is off the scale. I love it ! Such simplicity makes it brilliant.
I guess the wood needs to be green for the sheer to work properly ? Im guessing dried or been stood a while logs would be harder to crunch through. Id like to see more of it in action.
Now i need to find a 80hp engine to build one with 🤣
Lyle is one funny guy, well you both are 😂
Nick that wood had ben down for 6 months i dont think it matters if its dry or green that rig is a beast an spits out whatever ya feed it
@@AllenFamilyFirewood it sure was an impressive rig. Never seen one like that before. That's for sure.
It shear wet or dry , it doesn't care.
That is some equipment…I noticed the ends of the wood are a bit rough due to the shearing to cut to length but whatever. That is serious power to do that.
It truly is. Wish they still made these machines. Sure makes quick work out of it
Phil,maybe Dana was out traveling somewhere when the mailman came to their house 🏡 for a special delivery 🚚 ❤😊😮
Nah Milie got her looks from her mom
That processor is something else :) ... Buster related somehow on the family tree ?
Lol on the family tree i love it . Thanks for watching
😮😮 meringan kan pekerjaan membelah kayu, semoga saya bisa punya alat pemeblah kayu seperti ini ,setelah di belah langsung naik ke mobil😮
It sure does make it easy! Thanks for watching!
Not positive, But, I think this splitter was made in Washington State by a company called Lanier Hydraulics I actually contacted them years ago about buying one of them.. The unit I was looking at had a Z shaped blade to help with strength. In any case this splitter was an absolute """BEAST""" ! Great Video Thanks for sharing ....
I think hands down its the best rig ive seen to process wood . My cousin dose about 500 full cord a yr with it . Kinda surprising someone hasnt come out with something similar because it would sell good .
I found (trees to firewood you need to talk to him. I think he can help you with the kiln) I hope this help. He does like you on this project
We watch him all the time an I like his set up for the kiln . I think eventually we will get set up with a shipping container an wood boiler . We also watch another channel called oak farm firewood there over in England I believe . They both do it a little differently but get the same results
Sorry it looks like Oregon, and it was super 16. The sheer was originally a diamond blade that they claimed it never needed sharpened.
I will ask Lyle about that when i see him again maybe he was given the wrong info
Now that is one cool wood processor. I wonder why no one makes one today. I can't believe it cuts those logs with a blade. You just sit back and watch it work. Is it hard to maintain. Can you find parts for it?
I think all it needs is grease an fuel every day . He told me in the 3 yrs he has ben running it its never broke . Im thinking it might need a hydrolic line replaced every now an then or some welding .
Was the 100 thumbs up
Thanks
This machine is a good idea and a bit unique, very fast, automatic and no sawdust. Good job. What make is the machine please?
It’s called a Chomper. But they don’t make them anymore…wish they did!
It produces no sawdust. Cool. :)
Yup one les thing ya have to clean up .
I have a chomper 14 and am wondering how available the parts are. If so, where? The video was well done . Thanks
My Cusin just runs it for a guy but next time I see him I will ask . I know the company went outa business 6 or 7 yrs ago so I’m guessing parts are tough to find .
That's Money.. That's a real Processor.
Theres really not much to it i bet if someone built one it could be done for way less than 30 k if they didnt count there time .
This machine looks like a wood processor called the Chomper they were made in Mount Rainier Washington
I tried to find out about the company but it looks like they have closed.
Hope you get better soon
Nice video .
Thanks Bruce I think that might be what it is I know they don't make them anymore, but it sure did the job fast and easy!
Chomper firewood processer
Yup and it surprised me there not in business anymore cause it sure can put the wood out .
Whomever built that machine, that thing is sick. There ain't many that compete with eastonmade, but that thing is crazy fast and automatic.
It sure is impresive an easy to run
I was going to do firewood and the sweet sixteen would do up 16" wood. I called them for about a year and never heard from them.
Bad customer service will end any company no mater how good there stuff is .
Never seen this before 👍🏻 wil it also cut oak trees?
Sure will that rig will cut an split whatever ya throw at it hands down the best splitter set up ive ever seen . To bad they went outa business
Like the guillotine in the French Revolution. Instead of “off with their heads” it’s off with their logs. I wonder what year that machine was manufactured and what the cost was new back then. It may have paid for itself 10 times over.
Lol. Love the way it just shears the logs. No idea about when it was manufactured or the cost but it sure gets the job done fast!
Rainier Hydraulic out of Portland Oregon is the information I’m finding on it.
Machine itself is patented.
Rainier seems to have closed their doors around 2007-2011 from what I’ve found so far.
Currently looking for the original patent.
Rainier Hydraulic was administratively dissolved in 2013.
The Chomper name was trademarked and expired in 2020.
Yes, I’m looking for the plans😅
I would think if legal someone would copy it an do real well selling them . I always figured them yapa wood procesors were easy to run but this rig is way above one of them
What I’ve since learned is the law firm that was the POC on the trademark file is no longer in business.
I’ll have to look at it directly at the patent office website.
Does Andrew at Eastonmade know about this??
I dont know . I cant imagine he would want to add another splitter i think he is a yr out on just trying to keep up with orders on his splitters .
