When I had a govt. job, work fascinated me, I could set and stare at it all day. I had to leave because one day, I actually did something, and it made everyone else look bad.
Cant believe that Bert. Using a shorter log to hold that ridiculous long log in place.... Now theres an operators' operator! So good to see the processor running again. Makes my morning coffee so much better. Go well guys. Cheers from HB NZ
Super fun video today! Thanks for having us over! Enjoyed hanging out with you guys with the big Eastonmade fired up! 🔥💯👍. Always a fun day In The Woodyard! Take care Chris! Andrew from NB :)
I found on my little electric saw if the blade is too tight it doesn't have the torque. Also lots of oil. Kenny from Western North Carolina. Love the videos!
Sharp tools of any kind are always much safer than dull tools. That principle applies to everything from steak knives to razor blades to drill bits to saw chains etc, etc, etc. It's good to see you maintain your tools and machines regularly.
Good morning Chris!!😀😀 Hopefully you have kicked the cold you have. I think I had the same one. It lasted a little over 2 weeks. Thankfully I didn't land in the hospital with it this time like I did last summer. That machine still just amazes me on how much power the splitter has. I have yet to see anything that has stopped it. Sure doesn't take very long with wood that size to make a trailer load. I really enjoy watching you guys running her. I wanted to be your weekend operator because I really enjoyed running it. But mother nature had other plans for me. Keep up the good work guys!! TTYL!!😀😀💚💚 Logger Al
That was 2 weeks ago and the chest cold is still kicking my butt. 5 weeks now! My wife is on week 9. She went to the Doc an they told her...yup... it has been like that for most of the people who have it!
@@InTheWoodyard I have known several with what sounds like similar developed into respiratory infection on going onto antibiotics and still fighting it.😱
Chris you have great videos, glad your THINK 🤔 SAFETY and always put SAFETY FIRST. BERT just buckin them up 🔝 with your 592XP and drop them in 22MB put them threw the 40 ton splitter Chris . 😊😊
Even when you have to coax it through, that machine really makes a lot of wood fast. I'll be interested to see your heater setup. Another idea would be to get a heater core from an old tractor or combine and run some plumbing from the engine. But maybe you don't want to modify Andrew's machine that much 😉 Nice job!
Saw a video clip a few seconds long. Looks like you have a firewood buclet on loan to use! Can't wait to hear how well it works for you in the woodyard. Going to work longer hours at my job to buy more woodyard toys while the work is available. Then take a week off here and there to work on firewood and relax. Sort of like you working photography and your woodyard hard so you can go on hunting trips. Gotta work hard somewhere, somehow, to get the nice toys.
@@BertsCustomCuts Probably the two most common problems is kinked fuel lines and not enough amps for the battery supply and wire gauge as they pull around 15amps at start up. a defective motherboard from the factory? Do not just unplug to shut down as it can cook the machine it needs to run through its shut down procedure. As for most things todays there is an internet forum for the chinese heaters. 😂
I like the 8way wedge. Eastonmade has a new wedge available for their processors that you should give a try. It will give you smaller splits with what looks like alot less debris.
Had some pallet wood logging done on my property this summer and I've been going through and cutting up and splitting the tops and crooked stuff. Lots and lots of honey locust. As you said, great wood but it's so hard I'm resharpening probably 30% more often. Looks like you need to be an octopus to run that processor!
Chris...You have 12 volt power available. I'd get a bus heater that comes with a 12 volt fan and run the coolant from the Kubota through it. That's what a lot of fishing boats use for heat and with the water going through it 190 degrees they put out a whole lot of BTUs.
Good spot to put the ULTRA at the beginning of the conveyor do resplits there that way when the wood hits the trailer its done ready for the bin.when you have help
Yup, it is a good idea but it is higher than you think so it would mean a lot of lifting high and like Bert said, when we are running good on big wood...3-4 guys would have a hard time keeping up using 2-3 Ultras.
This time of year, after a good freeze, when it thaws, it is a muddy mess. I feel for you. Those long logs are hard to get to the processor, but they make a lot of wood when you get them there. That looks like some really nice wood.
Maybe use a pole saw to finish the cuts where the cutting bar doesn't go all the way through so you can stay back at a safer distance with better footing?
I’m glad Adam and Burt are wise around machines! Makes me cringe if something went wrong… I’ve had to explain this to my son when we were throwing wood back In to my mates machine! Good onya guys
It really does take 3 or 4 people to run it efficiently. Add in a resplit, and even more people to do it nonstop. Though the resplit could be ran off the main capital machine, as it has plenty of hyd capability. . Anyway, very interesting to see the machine pushed to its size limit, and beyond.
I have a question for you, instead of using pallets for your sides of the bins what if you used ibc totes sense you have access to them. that way you can remove the sides easier you wouldn’t have tie wire in the bins and when you get some wood emptied out you could just pick them up and dump them directly into the trailer when you get to that point hopefully all that makes sense???
Yup, we have talked about it but I am not a fan of IBC totes, we have tried a few things but it is not a time saver for me...maybe some day we will try it.
Nice job crew. Everybody/everything was trying to work except the battery saw. Voiceover is a good way to cut out the background noise and tell us what we are really seeing. Hope the mud gives you a break soon.GNI
How do you handle the splits that are too big that go up the ramp from the processor. Do you just set them aside as you throw them in the pile. I noticed some of the bigger logs leave big splits on the top.
ADAM good for his daughter with the cookie 🍪, very very cute and smart daughter Adam got . Tell Adam injoy it before he know it she will be 35 yrs old like my little daddy girl 👧. Hey 👋 iiii iiii went threw the girl guide cookie 🍪 see it was like 👍 yesterday remember time don’t stop 🛑 for NO ONE in Life Chris . 😊😊
This splitter can process a lot of wood, but I feel like it doesn't process the wood as well as the little splitter that you guys use. This seems to make a lot of kindling wood and then some really big chunks that need to be processed again.
Fun Stuff. Scary machine for sure if you don't know what you are doing. I have an electric chainsaw for small yard work stuff, that's all its good for, in my opinion.
Hi Chris I’ve just started my own firewood business which I run beside my other buisness (digger driving) it’s going well so far I’m selling seasoned firewood in dumpy bags (ton bags) that’s what people buy their wood in in the UK, all I’ve got is a yard a splitter a 500i a little van and little trailer, I’m using all your ideas to get going but if they is anytbing you would advise me to do that would be great, thanks Chris, from Jake 👍🏻
U could run the coveyor slower and more horizontal then have 2 or 3 people resplitting big pieces with the ultra but then u would need another big coveyor taking the wood from the processor to the trailer. . Not sure how flat u could run the conveyor for resplitting
Battery power is a good idea but they die so quick in heat and cold. Gas power is always number 1. I would of not thought that it was shoulder level to reach in there. Learn something everyday
It’s be SAFETY just to cut them in half , Bert not THINK 🤔 SAFETY this morning. You what to timber at 33’ cedar logs 🪵 go BJarne butler in western coast in BC Canada 🇨🇦. Come to the 709 show you yellow birch 42” and bigger run 3 to 5 cords in one ☝️ tree . 😊
HAHAHHAHAH Machinist Micro cuts. Thats a good one, AND its true.... You have an Engine that is heating up coolant. Get the OK from Andrew to plumb that to the Cab.. School Bus Cabin Radiator, and You have heat... Those diesel Heaters Work great once You get them Dialed in. The Manuals that come with them are not worth the Paper they are printed on. Translated by Children. Boat loads of You youtube videos will teach you more... Thanks Chris.
No bin for the cookie monster, Bert waiting on Adam slacking on getting logs up on the conveyor, what in the holy name of unproductivity is going on around there! Kidding, kidding... but really. I expect better 🤪
Im not sure why this fascinates me. But it does. I could watch all day. Thank you.
Thanks John!

I appreciate that, Thanks!!
Cant believe that Bert. Using a shorter log to hold that ridiculous long log in place.... Now theres an operators' operator! So good to see the processor running again. Makes my morning coffee so much better. Go well guys. Cheers from HB NZ

Our pleasure! Thanks!!!
Watching the processor is by far the best start of my day
Good thing there are dozens of videos on my channel for you to watch then. You could have a great day all day and just keep watching!!
I like your voice over videos, helps to understand how, what and why while stuff is being done.
Thanks!
I found on my little electric saw if the blade is too tight it doesn't have the torque. Also lots of oil. Kenny from Western North Carolina. Love the videos!
Thanks for the info!
I have an Echo cordless for the same reasons you probably do. I love it and saves on listening to the gas saws for one or two cuts
Yup, they work...sometimes.
Yes. Love watching that beast run. Great work fellas.
Thanks!
Good morning Chris and Bert , nice to see that big EAST cutting again nice big Wood ( ty Ron
Yup, we can make wood fast with it!
Impressive how that little tractor handels the logs.
Yup, she is a good one.

Try that on a Japa! Great video! I love tree length firewood processing, a lot less cookies and the production speed is incredible.
Yup, long logs are fun to run, but hard to move!

Your eyes seeing all those details must have developed as you took photos. All the different visions added variety to what you offered to customers.
Yes! Thank you!
Black locus is the best.
Even splits well by hand.
Yup, good stuff!
Looking forward to your video on the diesel heater. Am thinking of getting one for the shop, sometimes it's nce to have a bit of heat out there.
We have both spent hours trying to figure it out and get it working and have failed.
Bert and I both tried to get it to work and we think something is not working inside from the factory...we gave up on it.
Yup.

Hi Chris, how about placing a tote by the by-pass chute and see if Bert can fling a cut-off piece into the tote!!
It would be hard to get it that high in the air.
We did a long time ago, it is to high and we do not want to cut the totes down.
I like the 8way wedge. Eastonmade has a new wedge available for their processors that you should give a try. It will give you smaller splits with what looks like alot less debris.
Yes and yes!

Yup, 9 levers and 4 do 4 things and 5 do 2 things so ya lots to know.
First, we hope you feel better.
Nice day of production. Glad you moved your truck.
That tree was one huge toothpick.
Thanks 👍 Yup, long tooth pick!
Those big chunks make a lot of wood. Splitting that crap shaped wood is still faster and easier than by hand with the small splitter. Nice job.
Great point!
Chris, Bert and Adam Tks for the great wood 🪵 hound video just miss having KEN around he a laugh on your video 😊😊.
Glad you enjoyed it, Ken wil be on eventually!
I miss the 'Red Green Show'. Some nice wood there!
Duct tape is awesome!
Yup! 41:59
A lot of cuts with that long wood for sure.
Definitely get a better rythem going with longer logs
Yup!
That’s a really nice machine.
Yup!
Chris...You have 12 volt power available. I'd get a bus heater that comes with a 12 volt fan and run the coolant from the Kubota through it. That's what a lot of fishing boats use for heat and with the water going through it 190 degrees they put out a whole lot of BTUs.
Thanks for the tips!
Good spot to put the ULTRA at the beginning of the conveyor do resplits there that way when the wood hits the trailer its done ready for the bin.when you have help
It would take 4 more guys and a second ultra to keep up when we get rolling.
Yup, it is a good idea but it is higher than you think so it would mean a lot of lifting high and like Bert said, when we are running good on big wood...3-4 guys would have a hard time keeping up using 2-3 Ultras.

It does the job nicely.
Yup!
Nice job Chris!

Good video
Let's run the big processor every day.
Ha! Sorry I do not have enough logs for that!
Sonetics makes a fantastic set of comm headsets. Spendy but worth every penny.
Thanks.
Sena headsets. They are also Bluetooth to your phone and have fm/am radio all built in along with coms
Yup, we have looked at them!
Maybe use a pole saw to finish the cuts where the cutting bar doesn't go all the way through so you can stay back at a safer distance with better footing?
No, not running them is the smarter move.
Good stuff! See ya tomorrow 👍🏻👍🏻GNI
Thanks Mr. Outside.
You are 100% correct in not having two or more reaching into processor!! It will end in a disaster. Ray
Yup, we try to make sure we are all watching each other.
Bert playing with his big logs and Adam's daughter playing with her big cookie order! GNI
Yup!
Hi Chris,sorry late watching this vid,Ed from,Vermont
Thanks for watching..anytime is good!
I’m glad Adam and Burt are wise around machines! Makes me cringe if something went wrong… I’ve had to explain this to my son when we were throwing wood back In to my mates machine!
Good onya guys
Yup, I do not want anyone getting hurt!
The Kioti is pretty impressive.
It does work well.
I think that new 16 way processor wedge that Andrew and the boys developed would be the ticket for your 22MB.
Yup, maybe so!
It really does take 3 or 4 people to run it efficiently.
Add in a resplit, and even more people to do it nonstop.
Though the resplit could be ran off the main capital machine, as it has plenty of hyd capability.
.
Anyway, very interesting to see the machine pushed to its size limit, and beyond.
Yup, 3 is a good number.
Andrew has a new wedge i think it wood be awesome for ur wood
Yup, I am aware. Thanks!
Are resplits worth it in terms of time. Or is it more efficient one time with smaller splitter??
Yes they are because I do not sell to boiler people, my customers want small wood (fireplace).
I have a question for you, instead of using pallets for your sides of the bins what if you used ibc totes sense you have access to them. that way you can remove the sides easier you wouldn’t have tie wire in the bins and when you get some wood emptied out you could just pick them up and dump them directly into the trailer when you get to that point hopefully all that makes sense???
Yup, we have talked about it but I am not a fan of IBC totes, we have tried a few things but it is not a time saver for me...maybe some day we will try it.
Well I appreciate your opinion, ill consider it as I move forward with cutting and splitting and hopefully selling @@InTheWoodyard
Chris. Try these. Sena Tufftalk-Lite-01 Tufftalk Lite Over-The-Head Earmuff. Work very well and less expensive than most.
Looking for coms that will also work for doing tree jobs as well.
They make a hard hat version of this model as well Bert
Thanks.
In the USAF we use “Peltor” brand headphones that built in communication when your close to another headset. I don’t know about the range though.

Thanks for watching!
Just like using a box wedge, likes it straight grain stuff.
Yup, processors like good wood!
Good morning all, 2 pots! GNI
Hello Kurt!
How do you handle the splits that are too big that go up the ramp from the processor. Do you just set them aside as you throw them in the pile. I noticed some of the bigger logs leave big splits on the top.
We toss some back in the splitting chamber but most just go up the elevator and in the trailer and get resplit later.
ADAM good for his daughter with the cookie 🍪, very very cute and smart daughter Adam got . Tell Adam injoy it before he know it she will be 35 yrs old like my little daddy girl 👧. Hey 👋 iiii iiii went threw the girl guide cookie 🍪 see it was like 👍 yesterday remember time don’t stop 🛑 for NO ONE in Life Chris . 😊😊
Yup, every day is a good one and soon it will be the last one.
This splitter can process a lot of wood, but I feel like it doesn't process the wood as well as the little splitter that you guys use. This seems to make a lot of kindling wood and then some really big chunks that need to be processed again.
Yup. The wood processors do best with is the 8-16" stuff, we put everything through it.
It might have been a bit of a struggle but still beats chainsaws and splitters.
Yup, the small stuff is not the best for the processor.
Fun Stuff. Scary machine for sure if you don't know what you are doing. I have an electric chainsaw for small yard work stuff, that's all its good for, in my opinion.
Yup, she is a beast!
Need some wellies for that weather
Okay.
What’s that smoke that came out of the bar just after number 18??
I think it was steam, it happened on a few others too. As things heat up cutting through frozen wood that happens sometimes.
Good Morning Woodhounds!!!
Hello!
I'd have told him to lift that first log up over your truck to get it to the processor 😂.
I was going to.
Nope, that's when stuff goes wrong!
Get well soon.
That was 2 weeks ago and i still have it!!!
Lol "Adam should just amputate his thumb."
Maybe, it is always getting re-injured!
When people say stay hydrated they do mean beer, right?
Yes, some, others are water Natzis.
Good morning

Hi Chris I’ve just started my own firewood business which I run beside my other buisness (digger driving) it’s going well so far I’m selling seasoned firewood in dumpy bags (ton bags) that’s what people buy their wood in in the UK, all I’ve got is a yard a splitter a 500i a little van and little trailer, I’m using all your ideas to get going but if they is anytbing you would advise me to do that would be great, thanks Chris, from Jake 👍🏻
Awesome Jake..my advice ...just keep cutting (more is the right amount of wood to have) , sell only dry wood and deliver.
@@InTheWoodyard hi Chris great advise I do deliver my wood people love it, I see why you’ve always done it 👍🏻
When the ground starts to firm up might have to use a land plane to remove the ruts.🤔
back blading will do just fine.
So once again, you are waring out the engines and tractors just to make firewood??😂
Hopefully, you feel better soon, Chris 😉👍
You got that right!
That was a all day log.zLooks like you could start selling mud.Have fum and keep up the hard work
Thanks 👍
I was thinking have someone with your splitter at the end as they come out split it then, then toss up the belt, but only in a perfect world 😎.
It is very high and with big wood it would be almost impossible to keep up.
You should start offering MUD PIES with your firewood deliveries.
Yup, lots of mud!
I’ve burned a lot of honey locust over the last 15 years. You’re right: great stuff!
Yup, it is great wood!
Chris don’t get pay by the hrs , you get pay by 1/3 , face or …… ….. cord . You need you 5’ bar on the 22MB lol .
We get paid by the fun and experiences.

U could run the coveyor slower and more horizontal then have 2 or 3 people resplitting big pieces with the ultra but then u would need another big coveyor taking the wood from the processor to the trailer. . Not sure how flat u could run the conveyor for resplitting
