7 cord per hour,I have a hard time believing that,I've run cord king circular saw processors ,built rite automated,built rite lever feed, if woods real straight,someone feeding you,tops 3 cord, even watching it,no way 7 cord an hour
Are there are other companies still around with a blade instead of an a bar? Any smaller versions comparable to the size of a dyna sc16? The blade seems better in many spectre
Thanks for the video! Wow that is quite the setup! Love that loco processor man that thing does everything but go get it’s own logs !😁 keep up the great work! Hope you get a video of the tub grinder in action when they have it fired up sometime!👍👋
make this a double axle and ad a regular hydraulic 404 pitch bar and chain to it and make the deck with a live chain and add a small conveyer to load trailers and I would have this guy make me a portable setup depending on how much he would charge. probably far less then most manufacturers would charge and would work just as good.
@@BuildALotAcres I was not saying a specific manufacturer was making them. I was refuring to you and how simple you made yours but with a few changes what you might charge to make one for someone like me. too bad your probably not local to me in Michigan.
@@jeromyw385xp I’ve run this processor and have run ones with the bar and chain method you are describing. This one will out produce any bar and chain type processor with less maintenance, no having to switch chains after so much use, no having to watch the chain tightness and having to adjust it here and there, no need for bar oil, and you can slice through just about any size log as fast as you want…. Unlike using a bar and chain. Plus the processors that use a bar and chain.. You have to really watch how much pressure you put on the bar, meaning how fast you cut, and after awhile will want to break the anchor point bearings, or start cutting crooked. You end up also going through multiple chains in a day, chains slipping off, ect.. I don’t think you realize how much wood that blade can go through and how much that same amount would beat up a bar and chain just from wear and tear.
@@dwightchaos9449 that maybe true but I prefer bar and chain because if the chain brakes or the bar goes out it won't do hardly any damage ware if these big blades blow apart there doing a lot of dangerous damage and peaces can go flying several hundred yards away and could hurt or even kill someone. I've only heard of one sawmill that had this happen to them and the blade went shooting threw there roof and landed almost 100 yards away and other peaces went sticking into walls and hitting other equipment and did 10's of thousands of dollars worth of damage and they were shut down for several days because of it. luckily no one was hurt when it happened. I'd rather stay on the smaller and safer side of things and have something less bulky and easyer to transport around with my truck not a semi like these things require.
I operate one of these processors.. it’s a great machine, is very fast, reliable, and built very well… but 7 cords an hours is pretty much impossible. Unless he is talking about a “face cord”.
Yeah, math calls bullshit on your 7 cords per hour claim. That's a 4 second cycle time at best on that machine, you would have to be pushing out 1 cubic foot ever single cycle perfectly uninterrupted for 60 minutes straight if you were to get 7 cords an hour. You can tell by the video you clearly aren't doing that.
I understand what you’re saying. It was a number they told me. It would be interesting seeing the machine at full tilt with perfect poles being fed to it. I agree this wasn’t full tilt. He had to lop off branch wood and the other guy was doing two things at a time.
In addition to seasoned wood, he sells green wood for a cheaper rate. Most large scale firewood sellers aren’t seasoning the wood do to space restrictions, despite how it’s advertised. He tells people upfront it’s green
With the price of lumber I am so against cutting logs of the right size and species into firewood. They should be milled into dimensional lumber and flood the market until the price is more favorable. Now I don't burn wood so someone that does might be of a different opinion.
I sell maybe 15-20 cord a year. I go get what sells, buck and hand split, sort and season. I'm 68 yrs and run a 3/4 ton of about same vintage. At this pace I barely break even, but son-of-a-bit ch do I have pretty stacks. Can't and won't fault ya for working hard and putting in the time. There's plenty of dimensional lumber. It's just those businesses are greedier than us wood scrappers. Their bubble will burst and when it does society will have moved to building with plastic bags and free range rocks..
@@kevinfoster1213 Well Kevin, I'm really glad for 68 you can do that still. I'm 66, in March of 99 I broke my back and the surgeon screwed me up even more. My knees are bone on bone and I was one of them that the drug Vioxx almost killed. But every day I wish I could go back to work and give it 8 for 8. I agree the businesses are greedy. But you wouldn't believe how many people have sawmills now. If they all started flooding the markets with lumber it would break the backs of the big box stores all the way up to the big lumber supply companies. And thats a good idea the plastic bag theory. Maybe they can make plastic studs with all the water bottles.
Logs are sorted and sold at the highest price. If they are veneer or saw log quality they don’t end up as firewood. Even wood that is only suitable for scrag gets sold at a higher price for pallet wood before ending up as firewood.
@@Nico-rw1uo Yes sir. I know at least three local tree guys that run their processors. They were made in western MA. I believe their closing was a couple different factors.
@@joshszydel8202 I am attracted to the European type. I have never cut firewood but the economy is demanding more firewood. I was told the European type firewood processors are not tough enough for the tougher American trees, transatlantic trees being easier. I am okay with tractor and electric power. What is your opinion of the durability and suitability of firewood processors from those makers? I suspect they have been building them longer than we have. I don't think they scorned firewood the way Americans did. Walker stoves has a revolutionary wood-burning method.

Gotta be going alot faster than he is to even get 3
Gotta be face cords he's talking about
That's an awsome bit of kit! Just came across your channel and subscribed :) all the best :)

There should be two saw heads
Happy New Year Sir and Yes that is a great ( NEED A CLEAN UP ! ) wood fire processor 👌👍💪😉 Cheers 🍻
Thanks Dave. Happy New Year

I believe Cord King and Eastonmade/Bells both offer circular blade processors.

Nice video, Case. These big machines for processing firewood are fascinating to watch.
They really are. Incredibly fast. Thanks for watching 👍
@@BuildALotAcres Had a fast cycle time, 8-way knife, no wood cleaners that I saw. I am not sure whether the knife is adjustable or not.

I call bull on 7 an hour. More like 2-3
How much is a cord? In finland we talk cubic meters, i need 20 cubic metres ( 1 big tractor trailer ) firewood for winter.
1 cord would be 3.6 cubic meters. 20 cubic meters would be about 5 and a half cords
@@BuildALotAcres thanks for informatiom 😄
Crd is out of business
So when are you selling the Supersplit and ordering a green machine?😎
Haha. Maybe if I win the lottery
hi there nice show john
Thank you
If this goes from processor to customer, when does it get seasoned?
In addition to seasoned wood, he sells green wood for a cheaper rate. Most large scale firewood sellers aren’t seasoning the wood do to space restrictions, despite how it’s advertised. He tells people upfront it’s green
What do you do with the container of saw dust?
I’m not sure what he does with it. Probably mixes it into loam or something along those lines.
Love how enthusiastic your daughter is about firewood! Nice video. Thanks!

That is a great firewood processor and I like the setup they have. Great video
Thanks. Appreciate it
If they did 10 cord per day for 200 days, that would total 2000.
@@jakebredthauer5100 yes sir. I don’t think they split everyday. He stays pretty busy doing clearing jobs and residential takedowns
Thats a heck of a firewood processor
It sure is. Things a beast. Thanks for tuning in friend.
Hi, what is the manufacturer of the firewood processor.
Thank you
CRD Metalworks. I do not believe they are in business any longer though.
@@BuildALotAcres yes indeed, I had checked, but the factory 🏭 is closed, end of business.
@@BuildALotAcres anyway thank you.
Unfortunately that, such a great manufacturer ends up.

7 full or face chords?
I think he meant full cords. I don’t know if it’s true. Even 3-4 would be impressive
@@BuildALotAcres 21 facecords an hour seems pretty ridiculous to me
@@joshfoster9832 It is a lot. I was just going by what they told me. Thanks for watching ✌️
to bad you can't buy that machine anymore they closed the door,s I hurd nobody answered the phone.
When did that happen? Demand for processors is high now I think.

Why so short?
Are you referring to the length of the splits? If so, I think he processes to the industry standard of 16”
CRD is out of business i thought i was looking for processor for my wood yard. Are they back to building them ???
I’m not sure. Matt bought his new about 4 years ago. I actually know another guy with a Rapido Loco that has a tumbler built in.
