Woohoo! Haha I appreciate the great feedback, we always try to demo machines and let people know our actual feelings and not fluff things haha. This is a great processor, makes the firewood process much more enjoyable with a much higher output! Take care and thanks for watching!
Thanks Mark! It sure has been a huge help for firewood season. Much faster and easier! I always appreciate the support and positive comments! Take care my friend
Thanks Stephen! I tell ya we are still learning how to be most productive but I tell ya, we are getting way more wood per hour and alot less effort to do so! Thanks for watching 🤠
They definitely make nice equipment, everything seems heavy built! The processor has definitely helped us out on our firewood operation, when the family gets together we can get a large pile of wood in a hurry. Thanks for watching!
hey, guys good to see the processor in action . like they say breakin her in . as allways it takes time to get it figured out you guys stay safe the SR.
Thanks buddy! It is a lot of fun, we have learned quiet a bit and are finally getting a smooth process going! Sure makes a pile of wood in a hurry. I appreciate ya watching, have a good Sunday!
If only Wallenstein made a versioj of this firewood processor with a log lift instead of the cable winch. The soil in my area is deep sand and dragging the logs on it would tear it to shreads in short order. I really do lile the outfeed table on this machine, perfect height for the way you load up and move firewood around.
Good job and great job. Something though I would suggest is get a duckbill hook like I got on mine and have your blue tractor there with grapple and set the but of log right on table then just have to winch the top to feed it. I do that all the time. And eventually a bigger cc chainsaw would help u out to. Cheers.
Thanks for the tips! Yes we are gonna start using a log tong, it’s been a blast so far. The saw cuts very well even with most of this being hickory, when we run a poplar or other softer woods the saw is great! The 361 rips, great chain speed with it.
@@OhioHillTopsHobbyFarm your right the saw cuts good, but your dad was doing more productive cutting. Getting them dam near cut before ram was back. But eventually you'll see the duckbill hook will help alot.
Dave, I love the concept. You use your own saw plus rely on the pulley to move the logs up the ramp. Much easier on the back when working at waist height. Really good teamwork with your dad.
Thanks! This is dads unit, it is a very capable processor with a good price point in comparison to others! There has been a lot of wood out through it already 🤠
Good video!! Just a little tip that might help and speed you up, I always advance my log before engaging the splitter, that gives all power to splitter. There great little processors
I enjoyed seeing the processor run. I've been thinking for a while about which piece of equipment to get to help me split wood faster. I ruled out any sort of processor because I do get a lot of big wood to deal with. I have no problem dealing with big rounds. I get a ton of good sized logs as well. I also ruled out any sort of eastonmade or wolf ridge splitters because of the wait times. I contacted All Wood and after talking with the owner I purchased one of their Musclewood splitters. I'm excited to get it as the wait time was 2 months or less.
Thanks Jeff! Yes we went with this one due to it ability to take up to a 22” log, we are in the same boat. Lots of large wood to handle and majority of the processors that can handle logs that size are 30-40k or more. So far we really like this one and have gotten alot of use out of it with no issues! Best of luck with your new splitter, I’m sure it will be a great machine!
Yes I think that wouldn’t be an issue, hard to say just piling it up but if we had a bigger trailer or two trailers I think it could do a bit more :) ahhh it sure makes it fun! Thanks for watching
That's awesome! To do two things at once instead cutting then turn around and start splitting it ..lol. But things I noticed it didn't came with a chainsaw automatically? And also noticed you guys had to rehandle some of the bigger pieces, couldn't you get a bigger wedge? So you have it for bigger pieces? Other than that good work guys👍.
Thanks Randy, yes this machine is great! Your right it didn’t come with a saw but that is what helped it out on price. We figured since we already had a couple larger saws that could work great with this we would save the money rather than paying for a hydraulic style saw on another processor. And yes you can get a 4 way or 6 way wedge. We have outdoor boilers and like the larger chunks, we resolute some when we sell the wood. Thanks for watching!
@@OhioHillTopsHobbyFarm will that makes sense, I know sometimes it's stupid they want things cost more than what it's worth. But what do you expect they try to get more money than necessarily! But I was just curious, sure looks nice though. We would like something like that but what sucks is we ain't big enough as in I mean we only produce enough firewood for like year in a 1/2 tops. And that's 10 to 11 of pulp wood and little extra from around the house. We only have a wood stove ferniess type with the fans content to it. Inerways thanks for replying back. And have a good weekend.
Nah, it’s perfect for making boiler pieces! If I needed smaller stuff that would be the way to do it but I usually don’t split anything smaller than 10”.
I tell ya this winch sure has impressed us for having a lower pulling capacity. Haven’t had a log yet that it won’t pull up to the machine! I appreciate ya watching and commenting, happy sawing 🤠
Just purchased that exact model now I'm waiting for it to come in. My question to you is if you have a 13" diameter by 15' log album log how long does it take you to process it from start to finish
Hey Jesse, thanks for watching and I apologize for the late response! This processor is awesome, pairing it with the Stihl 661 has made an improvement on speed by a good 5 seconds or so per cut. I’d say if you have the logs delimbed good and close to the log it would only take a few minutes, doing good prep work up front really saves in the long run. Also leaving logs longer than 10’ seems to help as well, setting up the winch to the log is the most time consuming. If your selling wood I’d probably say the 6 way wedge would help make more uniform pieces instead of adjusting the 4 way up and down to match log size. Hope that helps!
@@OhioHillTopsHobbyFarm thank you for the response and the information. I am not selling (for now ) but might be a future idea.I burn roughly 8 to 10 cords a year and currently have a verticle/horizontal splitter. So I am wanting to speed up production and save my back at the same time..thanks again
Your welcome! Yes this machine definitely makes firewood much more enjoyable, if you get 2-3 people on it helping you can do a cord of wood in a real hurry! I want to say we had loaded my pickup truck from log form to stacked in the bed in about 15-20 minutes with it!
I have a stihl Similar to yours.. Wondering how you were able to melt the arm to your saw you're saw. I'm wondering if you have the same captive lock nut system (look nuts attached to cover) as I do.. I would love to reach out to you directly to pick your brain
We like the 4 way, with the outdoor boilers we use having the larger splits make for a longer burn! If we make bundle wood we will just split it on down smaller with the electric DR kinetic splitter. Thanks for watching, take care!!
Nice! I need to focus more on firewood but have been having to much fun on the mill 😂. Oh well I guess the off cuts make good firewood :) what all did ya get in? I appreciate ya watching!
Really I’m not sure, we’ve never really went al out on a multiple hour fest with it haha. I do know that it is a very productive machine if you have the logs ready and a trailer ready to accept the wood! Thanks for watching
Haha, for real? The only difference is hydraulic powered vs gas powered. Oh and a lot of price difference. The main benefits are allowing the machine to get your log to a good working height and then after the cut it rolls down to be split. After you hook the log you don’t have to handle it again untill it’s stacking location if that’s the case.
@@OhioHillTopsHobbyFarm thanks for the reply, I wouldn’t have thought a manual handle, hydraulic driven bar would cost more than say $800. Cheaper than that great chainsaw you have. Pleased you’re happy with it, enjoy.
Your welcome, your probably right however I believe it would also require a larger volume hydraulic pump and possibly larger engine. I’m not an engineer but the price difference between this unit and a fully hydraulic powered processor is substantial. Also majority of them can only process 16-18” logs. Thanks for watching
I'm only trolling, here please take no offence . Wallystein For Those That Want The Expense Of A Firewood Processor With The Production Rate Of a Standard Splitter. Truthfully its not too bad and would suit an average Farmer type
Keep trolling Colin no offense taken but your statement is totally wrong, the price is nowhere comparable and neither is the production. But thanks for the comment.
The price is right where the commercial splitters are and then your upping production by bucking the logs and not having to handle them multiple times.
So far the best non sponsored video of the Wallenstein in action. I think this shows the capability of this machine better than the commercial.
Woohoo! Haha I appreciate the great feedback, we always try to demo machines and let people know our actual feelings and not fluff things haha. This is a great processor, makes the firewood process much more enjoyable with a much higher output! Take care and thanks for watching!
Always a plus when you post...thanks👍🥂😎
Hey thanks buddy! I appreciate ya watching 🤠
Dude that is a fantastic setup. You and your Dad are Great Americans! Great job!
Thanks Mark! It sure has been a huge help for firewood season. Much faster and easier! I always appreciate the support and positive comments! Take care my friend
Looking good working great too. Getting it down pretty good ! Thanks for sharing with us, stay safe. Fred. 🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻✋🏻✋🏻
Thanks Fred! Yes we are getting it dialed in, makes for some good fun :) take care!
Nice machine you have there! Keep cuttin'!
Thank you!! We sure enjoy it so far, really makes firewood a lot easier! I appreciate the comment, take care!
Dave you and your Dad nailed it . Full max use of the processor. Amazing what that thing does . 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Stephen! I tell ya we are still learning how to be most productive but I tell ya, we are getting way more wood per hour and alot less effort to do so! Thanks for watching 🤠
Good equipment and great team work makes a very productive day. Thanks for the videos.
Thank you Tony! It sure is a great machine, and your right teamwork makes it that much more productive. We really enjoy this unit so far
Good morning Dave, way to tag team that firewood. Take care.
Thanks Mark! Yeah buddy, makes quick work of it! Take care my friend!
That makes doing firewood fun you boys are having to much fun thanks for another good video ❤️
Yes it sure does! I’m sure we will make many more videos of it :) haha
Seems like Log tongs would speed up hooking up the logs for pulling
Yes they work great but we actually use a hook device that is more efficient yet! Thanks for watching
Love your setup Very nice I like how you PULL your logs onto the proccessor without a forklift
Thanks, it was a huge game changer for how we did firewood before! Really sped things up and sure saves energy too.
Trees still look green. I was going to drive to Southern Ohio today to look at the changing leaves and hills. Maybe another week?
They are a bit, only been cut for 2 years. Yes they leaves are dropping fast, we have been having cold mornings! Thanks for watching
nice setup Cool video I'm going with a 1820 from Blockbuster with a cab.have a wonderful weekend.
Thank you! That sure would be handy, best of luck. Take care!
Great job 👍
Thank you George! I sure appreciate ya watching.
Great team work guys🪵👍
Thank you! Sure made for a fun day.
Thank you! Sure made for a fun day.
I have had a Wallenstein splitter for a decade, its been a good piece of equipment. Maybe someday I will look at upgrading to what you have.

@@OhioHillTopsHobbyFarm hey, you guys have agood monday
Fantastic machines, bought a used WP830 2 years ago. My brother and I do not use the saw pivot attachment. Great machines!

Looks like a full cord and hour, cut and split, and not like hard work either!
Yes I think that wouldn’t be an issue, hard to say just piling it up but if we had a bigger trailer or two trailers I think it could do a bit more :) ahhh it sure makes it fun! Thanks for watching

needs a 6 way wedge
Nah, it’s perfect for making boiler pieces! If I needed smaller stuff that would be the way to do it but I usually don’t split anything smaller than 10”.
your winch seems to bring in the logs alot faster then my older 835 i think my pump is worn or something
I tell ya this winch sure has impressed us for having a lower pulling capacity. Haven’t had a log yet that it won’t pull up to the machine! I appreciate ya watching and commenting, happy sawing 🤠
Imagine how much faster a 661 would be on that processor.
Is the splitting wedge adjustable up and down? If so, is it done manually or with hydraulics?
Good morning Tom, it has a manually adjustable wedge! Thanks for watcjing
Just purchased that exact model now I'm waiting for it to come in. My question to you is if you have a 13" diameter by 15' log album log how long does it take you to process it from start to finish

What size bar do u use on the saw?
I believe this is a 28” bar in this video! Thanks for watching
Do you guys run the 6 way more or the 4 way.
We like the 4 way, with the outdoor boilers we use having the larger splits make for a longer burn! If we make bundle wood we will just split it on down smaller with the electric DR kinetic splitter. Thanks for watching, take care!!
I did some cutting today
