The maths works out at 9mins 53 seconds an IBC. 4hr 7 mins is 247minutes. 247/25 is 9.88. Convert that in to seconds is around 9mins 53seconds per IBC..
Great video Archie,,, for 2 men that was a very very productive day,,,, , Def get a roll of chain and make your own,,,, but the factory is a fab outfit,, , its great how it frees a person up to attend to the other jobs that need doing for a smooth operation,,
44 IBCs is a great day's work, over 50 cubic meters, Unbelievable to think you could fill 2,000 IBCs in under 10 weeks 40 hours per week. Great work Archie another great video
Great video I’d like to see how that compares to running the other firewood processors for a day. How many minutes per ibc on average over a working day
I think your baskets could do with some in between bars to stop the spillage. Good productivity on the factory 400 😅 I think maybe the end of the splitter could need a spike wheel to help clear the throat! Quick chain pitstop 👏🏼
Archie, Awesome video. That machine pretty much does everything you ask of it. Looks like it’s a pretty good days work. Your back would be quite tired if you had to buck it all by hand & use a splitter to split everything. I couldn’t imagine cutting all that wood into 10” pieces by hand. Have a great day & keep the videos coming.😉👍🇺🇸 Dave from Maine.
@@oakfarmfirewood I love your videos & appreciate all your hard work. I watched the video when you were on with Backyard 40, great job. Have a great firewood season. Dave from Maine
Certainly worth experimenting with full chisel. But if your logs are muddy/gritty/covered in rocks etc then they’ll just dull far too quickly and you’ll be worse off than you were. Going by some of the worksites your wood is coming from this could well be the case. But worth trying. Nice work mate
@@oakfarmfirewood I guess you could potentially switch between full and semi chisel depending on the condition of the batch of logs you were processing, the species, and how they look etc..
We deliver 5 facecords at a time which takes 8 IBCs per load... also we use a full chiseled chain from Oregon which lasts well over 60 facecords without a sharpen if the logs are clean of course
hi Archie ,as I'm contemplating setting up in surrey, which processor would you recommend to a start up company ? and its probably a long shot but im over in Staplehurst tomorrow, whats the chances i could pop in for a chat ?,while you work of course
I heard on several channels that professional tree fellers chuck a chain when the teeth are reduced to between half and two thirds of the original size. Mainly because the chains loose a lot of cutting speed by then. Switching to a new chain at that point results in a significant increase in production.
Just an idea but some chicken or bird wire lined on the inside of the baskets, held on by stainless cable ties or concrete tie wire, would stop the spillage through the gaps.
It really is nice to have manners. No need to speak to anyone like you just have to the lad driving the forklift. Have manners next time just like how you would like to be spoken to.
Watching from a far......the same chain should easily cut 45 ibcs if it doesn't hit foreign objects! From my own experience cutting ash/beech with semi chisel oregon 404 harvester chain is the way to go. Going to full chisel with these woods would be a frustrating backward step. Any dirt at all would take point off cutter immediately, leaving you to waste time changing chains, what appears to be a poor design by fuelwood. Hakki pilkes ac 10 patent is super fast chain turn around. Or just a thought, when you have invested so much in the factory, why not buy a robot chain sharpener!?😂
9mins an 88seconds…..isn’t that 10mins 22seconds
Well that is very true
That’s why you don’t do math on TH-cam 😂😂

It’s all come so far Archie, it seems like yesterday when you fitted that cyclone dust extraction unit. Time flys!
Great stuff Archie. Enjoyed that. Had my noodles and stir-fry, woodstove-cooked, of course, whilst watching!
Glad you enjoyed it 👌🏽
I enjoyed three beers watching after dancing with a chainsaw half the day!
Good vid Archie. Just found your channel after catching you on Dan’s Friday night live last week. Good stuff.

Absolutely
44 cages thats about 11 full cord ! that is an awesome day!

Great work Archie another great video
Let’s see what we can do next summer when we are not snowed under by orders 👍🏼
Very impressive day with the Fuelwood bro. I'm impressed. George (NZ)
Thanks George
Best one yet Chap
great vid mate that machine is the dogs
Great job!
Thanks!
Great video

You could try some plywood with a bungee cord with hooks as the backstop for the cages. Swap it from the full cage to empty when changing over cages
Re chains, all that wood in the mud, that's what takes the edge off. There is a super hard chain out there. Good vids.
Seen your Friday night live. Love your channel you do agreat job . Will you ever come over to the states to one of the big outdoor shows in the future
I was hoping to get out to Bunyan this year but will have to be next year now
Thanks Archie, full chisel is the way to go, and keep depth gauges correct.
Right on
Did I just watch a bloke play with chunks of wood for 1hr?!?! Yes yes I did 😂

Great idea!
@@oakfarmfirewood Yeah a roll of wire and one of those makita rebar tie machines would be quick to reduce the bar spaces on the IBC pallets.
Yes a no brainer might loose a few here and there but worth testing this.@cheechU38K
@@tomasdevine7756 indeed matey!
would it be an idea to line your toads with some finer chicken mesh to prevent the smaller pieces from falling out?
How much is a new chain? Would be interesting to see timeings between a new chain and an old chain freshly charpened.
brother, have you seen the new japa x firewood factory..... holy sheet.... game changer
Yes I would like to get my hands on one to see what they are really like

Before you buy a processor you need to make sure you can get the wood! There are a lot of established firewood businesses struggling to get it….

Yes I think that’s the way to go.
Hi just wondering when your next video is going to be posted been a while 🤔
Will do a short tomorrow explaining. But basically my editing iPad has completely died out of nowhere.
Oh no not good hope it's sorted soon
Just an idea but some chicken or bird wire lined on the inside of the baskets, held on by stainless cable ties or concrete tie wire, would stop the spillage through the gaps.
Yeah who’s gunna spend the time to add wire to 500 cages ?! 😅

Why don't you move that half log in front of your machine it's a trip hassard
It’s been cleaned now

You should be able to make a 18 inch bar loop of 404 for around £12 sterling
