- Today we put our new Japa 471 live deck to use. This is a VERY effective tool for our firewood production. Running logs thru the processor is much more efficient and we can make more firewood faster!

Yes you do have a point with that issue but looking at how much you've grown and the upgrades with equipment makes you much bigger operation then what you think.
We will definitely check out the merchandise.
I know I pick up 4 way it takes 2 hands my wedges mine is 30 to
Not sure you can call yourself “small” anymore. The equipment you have is incredibly efficient. So much easier on you! Congrats
Yes! Thank you WS&T. All of these things put together make a great factory!
Japa - Made in Finland.
Greetings from Finland, nice work!
Hello there Jussi. Finland certainly knows how to engineer a fine processor! I hope to visit there one day! Joe
Man that thing is fast! Can't wait to see all of this back in the new wood yard.
Working on it Zeke!
I saw a similar video earlier today with another brand cutter. Need 3 guys and chain change every 2 hrs. Also the arm was stalling half way. You have a one man show with that japa. And switch to 8 splits in no time. I'm totally impressed!! 👍😀
Joe this is my all time favourite video on your channel! When having bad days watching this video is making my day better 🥰
Great to hear Ville. Every day is a great day when you own a Japa! Japa on sisukas suomalainen kone!
I see some major confidence happening on the tractor great job buddy. It’s a lot easier when you don’t have that stress I’m constantly worrying about making a mistake or doing something wrong but it looks like you’re doing a great job
That is because of the glory of editing! LOL. seriously I am getting better but still not fully competent. Joe
That’s an awesome setup Joe! Have a great day, and may God bless...
Thanks Don!
When we going to hear “This is Joe we have a small to medium size firewood service...”. Also speaking on grapples check out the Frost Bite. Wranglerstar has one on his channel and I think they sponsored him it. So you may want to look into that. Great looking process you got going.
LOL... I had thought of saying something like that... A transitional period LOL. I look around and see me, my daughters and an occasional HS boy stacking wood and I say, "wow, we're pretty small." Joe
@@ohiowoodburner From an acorn an oak tree grows.
Man oh man! What a difference that live deck made! Awesome stuff Joe.👍🏻👍🏻
Very true Todd. I would have never guessed it would add this much. Joe
Love those Dolmars!!! Your system is dialed in sir!
One bad saw! Thanks for watching. 73
When I start watching your videos, I wish they just won't end!!!
Thank you for posting!
Be free and God Bless.
Wow, thank you Pierre. I'm glad to have you visit. Joe
Man is that a hell of a system! Congratulations on your accomplishments. Keep it up.
Thanks! Will do Thanos!
Looking good Joe and great camera work as always. Good for the viewer to see the whole thing in axrion
Glad you enjoyed it Tom!
Fantastic firewood processing system. Sure helps your back out not having to wrestle wood all day.
You sir, are an inspiration! Have a nice day. 👍🏻
Thank you very much Kenny!
I really like your setup....A very professional firewood company that you can now do for years to come!!
Thanks Jerry. I hope I am planning this right! Only time will tell. Joe
Love the new machine and love the fact that you are being able to test and display/advertise the new products for Japa. One thing Japa might want to look into is the saw dust extraction system. I can't believe they only have an opening in the frame. You might want to suggest to them that they develop some kind of chute, tube, blower, something. Your trash can idea is great, now if they can neatly and efficiently get the dust into it.
I have the adapter for the hole. I just haven't put the tube on yet. That is on the list. Somethings I can't complete bc of the video schedule. Having a YT channel does weird things to your schedule at times. LOL
Great demo of the operation Joe! You really burned (no pun intended!) through that load on the live deck, thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it Tom. The live deck really speeds things up. Joe
Nice operation, Joe when you are loading the live deck, lower the engine Rpms, and it will help with loader control, great live deck! Cool! 🚜🪵👍🏼🇱🇷
I will give it a try Larry. It seems to be a little jerky in some positions. Sure beats using my back!
Rpm has nothing to do with it as it's hydro static tractor.
RPM has everything to with the speed at which these tractors operate. The hydraulic fluid flows faster as you raise the rpm. So, everything driven hydrostaticly will move faster. The forks get very "jerky" when the engine is revved up.
Pretty obvious, the sky is the limit for you now. You've got all the pieces in place. Up to you how much you want to grow or remain a "one man band". I personally like to work alone but with the right people you could produce an incredible amount of firewood. I think your gut will tell you what is right for you and OWB.
Thumbs up, Joe....you're running a helluva operation.
Thanks for the comment. I agree 100% with what you say. How big is too big? I am not sure what it is but I will know it when I get there. I hope I can keep this fun. Joe
Joe, I live in Gaston, Oregon. And Own and operate a small firewood business here as you do there in Ohio. I wish I had a Japa Dealer close to me that would set me up, to be more sucessful in keeping my 75 yearly customers, and 2 restaurants that I supply...DOing around 150 full cords of wood yearly by my self, is kind of tuff, and I am completely surprised at how busy Ive become...You do a wonderful job Joe, and are very nice to watch you doing your thing, as I. Blessings From Gaston, Oregon.
I really think you should call Bob at Metsa Machines bc he ships machines all over the USA. I am sure he can't point you in the right direction. Joe
Nice live deck Joe! Another great time efficient attachment added to your yard! Think even the sky isn't a limit anymore now!!
Well, I think my supply may be the limit again. I am running out of logs already. Joe
I love it when it all comes together, nice going Joe, can’t wait to follow as you get everything tuned just how you want it! -Brad
Thanks Brad. Now I'm worrying about running out of logs. Joe
That japa new kit is wicked Joe that is what u needed u keep up the hard work Joe proud of all what u do.
Thanks Toni!
Sunshine and a new firewood machine👍. greetings from 🇫🇮.
Beautiful combination! Joe
Man!! I love those wood makers
I would say that you have an about perfect setup there Joe!! All the right tools to keep you safe and healthy!! I was splitting today as well. Beautiful day out.
This weather has been AWESOME!
Wow, what a set up for small logs. I've got old man pine down here in New Zealand about 7 foot through the base ..and ugly like a huge broccoli ..you got a scaled up processor .. dang need a 100 ton crane to pick em up... oh they're on a hillside ... if the world was all flat it would be easy.
Nice set up Joe. Awesome to see your business grow and thank you for taking us all along on the journey. I took note of the Michigan key chain, I live west of Grand Rapids near Holland, MI.
That is left over from my first processor. It was a Dyna SC12XP... made in Michigan. It was a great machine but not the correct type of processor for my goals.
Joe, another awesome video! Thanks for the walk-around on the new addition to the japa, that thing is very productive. Now time to hire more help and you'll have an assembly line from log to stacked firewood! Be safe and God bless my friend!
Thanks Jim. My biggest need is stacking. That determines how much wood I make in a day bc I don't feel like stacking all day long! LOL
@@ohiowoodburner My intention is to not stack by hand. I will have a wire basket on a pallet and wood dropped in by machine. I will need to either elevate the splitter or put an elevator on it. Have a sheet of plastic on top to cover the wood.
Morning Joe your dad would be very proud of what u have achieved u have done so well for yourself and family keep up the good work and keep the vids coming well done Joe keep safe.
Thanks so much Toni. I know he would be thrilled to see all of this. I miss mom and dad every day.
Hi Joe - it's Big Rodders in Ireland. I tried twice on your last video to post a comment but they disappeared into hyberspace, never to be seen again. I feared that your Head of Video Production had black beaned me! Your weather appears glorious but I imagine you are muddy underfoot. I'm delighted that all your planning has manifested itself in enhanced and easier production runs.
Hmm... Let me check the spam filter Big Rodders. Sometimes posts get caught up in that for unknown reasons. You would NEVER be banned! LOL. The world needs more people like you! Joe
Congratulations on your impressive setup. If you have the logs on site and ready to be processed you could cut several cords of wood in no time. You are the envy of all in your area working to provide firewood. 😷🤘
I could make a lot of cords in a day but I keep it around 1 cord daily. It is about all I feel like doing given my other tasks etc. Plus I don't want to annoy the neighbors.
Not sure if anyones commented on it before but your sawdust chute is pretty close to you air intake on your engine.
Something to check frequently would be your air filter. You could Make a barrier somehow between engine and chute or extend your chute?
Just a random thought when I seen it.
Happy stacking!!!
Boy you got it going now getting into a AWSOME setup joe as allways good videos they got you set up now that’s the way to do it now
Wow, now that is production! Great job Joe!
More to come John!
A great machine set up! I do see one thing that needs to be re-designed. The saw dust blows out willy nilly next to the motor and that has to be going into the air filter. I could see a tube, not a shield, on the sawdust port that would direct the sawdust to the ground. If I were in the firewood business here in Illinois, I would want that setup you have.
With a little more seat time on the tractor, you'll be able to grab multiple logs on the pallet forks at one time, making loading the live deck faster. Pretty soon, Joe, you have to change your small firewood moniker to medium. Keep up the great work.
LOL believe it or not I grab single logs when we are filming. It makes for more footage that we can work with. One of the quirks of filming!
Nice set up and weather looks great ☀️
PERFECT firewood weather!
Great job looking great keep up the good work
That is one amazing machine you have. IT'S GREAT TO HAVE A PARTNERSHIP SUCH AS YOURS.
I have hit the jackpot with Japa, and Metsa Machines!
Now that you have a taller conveyor, you may want to make the sides taller on your dump trailer. The less pushing and pulling wood in your trailer the better.
I still use the trailer for deliveries Dennis...Loading it is made more difficult with the tall sides. Joe
Nice work Joe. Nice to see you investment paying off.
Would be interested to see what kind of maintenance is gonna be required. You know engine oil, grease, hydraulic oil filters etc.
The removable splitter is neat. That would make sharpening easy.
Always a good idea to cool down your equipment before shut down especially the diesel tractor.
One thing I would add is a Optimate battery charger. It will always top up the battery for you and extent the battery life. For 50$ it will ensure that your day is going to start well.👍🇨🇦
Hi Joe. Looking great there! That live deck makes a decent debarker for those ash logs! I cleaned out my trailer the other day when it thawed and I got 3 wheelbarrows of bark. Only slightly downside of all the new machines is a good bit more things to keep an eye on and maintain. You already know that. That's why I'm interested in the pto drive processer. No engine or fuel system and I have 3 tractors already. Looking for that video. Thanks for showing off.... I mean demonstrating that lovely firewood production .system. Take care. Chris
I hope to run the Japa 315 later in the spring. It is on my list of things to do. I'm anxious to see how it runs too. Joe
That's a fantastic setup by Japa. If you had a person running the Bobcat loading the table, you could run all day and produce a lot of wood.
But then who would stack it all?!?!? LOL.
@@ohiowoodburner run a contest.
The winner gets to stack wood for you on a video! LOL
Good to see your enjoying your work and machines
Thanks Steve. This is A LOT of fun indeed. Joe
Awesome production system. Now your set for a back saving business.
No joke there Dan. I didn't even break a sweat. Rarely had to step off the platform.
Awesome
Someone over Japa has been doing their homework! I watched them run these at Paul Bunyan show, several years ago and they were not impressive at all compared to the other manufacturers. They have made so many changes since then to get to where they are now. The only thing I see the same is the Red Paint! Have a Happy Easter...
Finland sure makes good proscessig equipment. From a FIN. in the UP of MICH. Thanks for the video!!
Yes they do Doug! Joe
Nice operation! Protect your body as much as you can! 👍🏼
This really has taken a load off the back. I would have never known how much a live deck brings to the entire operation. Joe
Now, there is NOTHING wrong with this video, a good quality, down to earth story of life and how you make it, and you still get 8 idiots (trools) responding negatively. I bet they do it to all of your videos. Do us a favor and ban their ... Keep up the videos! And I am jealous..
LOL thanks for having my back Dave but I am not bothered. I appreciate all feedback and accept criticism. I was cursed with high self esteem LOL.
The engineer that designed that live deck sure did their homework. Love that Honda V twin .
Thanks Gus. It seems Japa has a group of smart engineers. Their stuff is excellent. The Honda is a very good engine. I like it even better since it has the new muffler!
You saw the Honda too. I bought my first Honda tiller over 30 yrs ago. Regular maintenance and she still fires on the 1st pull. Btw.... It still has the original spark plug but the tines are rounded and worn. It must have several hundred hours by now.
Joe, I'm really impressed with the way your managing the JAPA log processor. Stacking the live deck with all one size and all one species is a brilliant idea. Your already going to be a big success I feel it! Much congratulations on growing OWB. Your managing all your new acquisitions to the max. What does the bean counter say now? It appears to me that your closing in on the right setup for your volume of business.
I think the pieces are falling into place Ed but my goal is still to keep labor as low as possible. I need a bulk storage solution but to have that I must also have a trommel or disc cleaner. Where does the madness end??? LOL
@@ohiowoodburner What is a trommel or disc cleaner, I'm unfamiliar with these.
Thanks for another great video The live deck works fantastic 👍👍
Thanks BH. It works great!
I like the way that you continue improve!!!
Thanks AP. I think one of my strengths is I don't get to wrapped up in myself and have no problem determining something is wrong...gotta change it. I love finding new, creative solutions. Joe
Great info into your daily life!
Wonderful equipment you have!
Thanks so much Mike!
Definitely a nice unit makes the job a lot easier
I never would have thought a live deck could be so important. It is. !!
Hey Joe, this really seems to be very handy compared to your previous setup. I'm glad to see you're happy with it! And wow, was that an other short chainsaw sequence in that video?!😜
Greetings from Germany✌
I always want to give Germany its due with an occasional Dolmar session !!!
Great video!! Those machines will help you grow your business tremendously!! Have a Great Day!!! 👍👍
I hope so David. Now I'm starting to again worry about my log supply. Joe
As usual well done my friend Harry
Thanks Harry! Are you still in Ireland?
@@ohiowoodburner yes but getting close now just waiting for my shot then 6 weeks later home
@@hardwoodharry6364- it's Big Rodders in Ireland. Am I right in thinking you are a "Yank" stuck in Ireland? What part are you marooned in - I'm based in Lisburn, Northern Ireland? If close by perhaps I could visit you and we could chat via megaphone!
@@rodneysweetnam8653 I am in wicklow Town yes I am marooned hear I want to go to America and be with my family and friends
@@hardwoodharry6364 Big Rodders again. That's a tough call for you. I know Wicklow is a nice part of the country but it is no substitute for home.
Great looking system. I am sure it is very satisfying to use.
It is. A lot of fun indeed!
Nice set up Joe.
Thanks Kev. This weather has been awesome lately and I have been very productive.
@@ohiowoodburner ya we have been getting some decent weather too. Abit colder this week but still nice and sunny.
Hi Joe, your process is looking super slick now! How long does it take to process a full cord?
The thing that I really like is that you now have the flexibility to just keep running the Jappa without stopping, by getting someone (like a family member) to either run the machine or load poles onto the live bed. I guess, on a nice day, you can output on to the floor and scoop up with the Bobcat, you’ve just got so many options now!
A couple of things which, I think, could be better:
1. The sawdust out feed at the back of the machine could do with a chute to make sure more goes into the bin, and less over the back of the machine.
2. The “interference” between the elevator steps and the strip seems a bit too much and a bit noisy.
Thanks MPH. I have the adapter for the sawdust chute. That is on my list of things to do. I'm not sure I understand #2. What do you mean about the steps and the strip? Thanks for watching! Joe
Thanks for sharing your setup
I would love to have the same
Make a plan and execute it Bert. But be ready to adjust, change etc. Joe
That thing is really nice. Dream setup. Great work. You inspire me my friend. 💪🏻⚡️🪓
Kindness and love
Awesome! Thank you Billy.
Gee,,,I thought I was subscribed to your channel but I was wrong.....so I gotter done today!!! Us Buckeyes gotta stick together....I love watching splitting and stacking wood...wish you would show your field of stacked wood.
Thanks for the sub Mary. Nice to know another buckeye is out there watching. I would show the stacks of firewood but it would be a very short video. LOL. My inventory is pretty low right now! Joe
That japa is one sweet setup!
Thanks Charlie. It is a great engineered machine.
Awesome set up ! 👍🪵👏🔥✔️
Thanks 👍
Bravo ! Like a fine tuned machine!
Game changer perhaps?
The log deck? Yes! It is an amazing invention.
Well Joe, I believe that was a very good investment , the upgrade, I’m still trying to convince Chris in the wool yard to get one as he processes about 600 plus face cord per year. Keep up the good work looks like your have fun
I can't believe how productive the live deck is. What a great invention!
Awesome that is a bad ass setup. Like to see more of that.
Stay tuned!
Nice setup - it all helps improve productivity. 👍
Yes it does Rusty. !!!
Loved the video thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Hate to say it Joe but your no longer a small fire wood operation..lol. Your definitely making some serious fire wood with that set up..awesome job on the channel and congratulations on the continued growth of the wood yard.
Thanks so much Dave. When I look around and usually just see me, I conclude that OWB is still small!! LOL
Thanks for sharing, that’s a nice setup!
Thanks for watching Ryan!
Hello joe and the family keep up the great work and fun videos! I dont think anyone mentioned the excellent backing skills! Well done.
Thanks Steve. I can't explain why I am pretty good at backing a trailer. It just seems to come natural. I in no way think I'm the best bc I can stink it up just as bad as you can imagine at times but I usually do pretty good. Joe
The live deck really makes things nice. The fan should be wired so it has key on.
Thanks Roger. I will follow up with Bob at Metsa Machines and make sure this is the optimum set up. Joe
efficiency! Thanks Joe!
very much so Fred. I'm always looking to remove unnecessary or repeated steps. Joe
I enjoyed the video Joe - a very nice set up
Thanks so much Bob!
Hi Joe, Enjoy your videos. You might want to look into Precision Manufacturing and their add a grapple for pallet forks. Seen it in operation and it seems it might serve you well with your Bobcat. John Montelione
I will check it out John. thanks!
Nice set up! Now I am even more jealous!
LOL nothing to be envious of here. I feel the same about you!
Now that’s Production👍
I'm full speed ahead Al!
The thing that puzzles me is why you stack the wood after splitting. We just make them to 1 m3 or 1,5 m3 sacks specially made for the purpose, put the sacks on pellets and under roof (but of course not walls around) and season them for a year. You can stack 2-3 sacks high (pellets in between) with a small tractor. You can deliver the wood on the big bags or make the bundles from the big sack. Less manual work. Greetings from Finland!
Hello Small Flower! Tell your friends in Finland they make a GREAT firewood processor. We stack because it is the best way to store firewood. Yes it is labor intensive but I hire people to stack for me when I don't feel like doing it. Joe
Very nice. Good work.
Thank you very much John!
Nice production line!
Glad you like it Richard!
I live in the same city that you got that Bobcat from!
You can see that the EAB got at that ash. Good idea of having all the hand tools in a wheelbarrow close by
Love that big Honda motor!!
It has been running great. No issues except for a blown fuse when it was caught in a big rainstorm. Joe
Very nice Joe!!! 👍
Thanks 👍 Tony!
I love the dolmar
Those quick connect hoses I would say are for an extended infeed.
It is a third line. I can't remember what they called it but I think it moves/diverts oil when there is a jam etc.
Nice & quick Joe the way machinery should be.
You got that right Dan!
Hi Joe: What length are you cutting the logs that you are putting through the Japa?
The logs are usually around 10--13 feet long. Sometimes shorter. My practice is to cut the logs in half before loading. Off the logger's truck they are around 20--22 feet long. The logs around here aren't perfectly straight so shorter logs lay better.
when running a full load/day of wood through the japa how often do you need to change out the chain to keep cutting efficiently?
The chain lasts much longer than a typical session with a chainsaw. It will last between 5-6 cords.
Get the klaw you will love it
Don't know if you will see this comment. I noticed that it looked like the chains on the log deck rest right on the metal frame. Even well greased that would wear quickly. You might want to contact the manufacturer and see if there is a wear plate that could be installed. This would increase the life of your equipment drastically.
Hi Erik. They do set right on the steel. I'm not sure about the physics with this but I think the surface area is such that there isn't much wear on it.
Amazing joe, hope to have this someday
I'm sure you will. Make a plan and put it to work!
I don’t climb around any equipment that’s running I know it’s “safe” but there’s that one in 1 million and it’s more like one in a 100, Great job full trailer in no time
Thanks Rich. It's fun making firewood when all you do is stand in one spot moving a joy stick! LOL.
We run a Hakki Pike easy 50 S with a 474 live deck. It’s a much bigger machine then yours. It has a 18” .404 Oregon harvester chain & bar. The thing I’ve found with our live deck is you have to be very careful with logs falling off and damaging either you the machine or the hydraulic lines on the floor. Also getting the log onto the processor from the live deck can be challenging, as the log can weigh up to a couple of tones they are difficult to manhandle. That’s also wheee you need to be careful with them falling off. We also end up cutting of nots and limbs that stick out to make sure they run through ok
That sounds like a big machine that handles big logs. I can see how you can get hit by an inbound log rolling but at least for me my logs are not quite as big and somewhat shorter. The Hakki Pilke are great machines!
Hi 1235train - it's Big Rodders in Ireland. I used to split logs for Michael Large, British Isles importer of the Hakki Pilke range so I'm not unfamiliar with them, even though my model, a Honda powered Eagle, is the smallest and now quite rare model in their range. I see that you are a train buff, plenty of steam interest over here in Ireland. Cheers.
Awesome video!!!!!!
Thanks Rod!
