Thanks Dave! If you check out some on my latest videos we have a tumbler now to get all those little pieces. Nothing but the best product for our customers
@@SkidderKev Bali Indonesia. Southern hemisphere, it's wet season here now so we getting rain. It never gets cold here so it's nice check out You Tubers that are in the far north. All the best.
I'm guessing you mean tumbler behind the splitter? Imo its bells. We love our bells we think it is heavier built the CK plus the single hand operation that comes standard is awesome and has worked flawless for us. High production too.
+VideosByAl I figures someone was going to ask me that. if you watch it again you can see another log infeeding with it. I had to back it up just so I could get tail weight on it so I could get it off.
All depends on what you get for options but the 4000, cab and 32 foot conveyor you are looking around 100k. They are built in Perth Ontario Canada. 1 888 995 1965 Brent will be happy to help you out with a proper quote. Let him know you talked to Skidder Kev
man that's a sweet setup!! pard love to watch that splitter bust through them big gnots on that timber lol how long at steady speed dose it take to fill a truck or trailer?
Yes we have had to change a whole set of teeth after I hit a fence hanger. Not sure of the exact cost of thr blade but think its around 4k and the single shank with carbide tip is about 11 bucks. And just the tip is about 5, you just have to silver solder them on.
We will put logs on till I can't hold them anymore pretty much. That is about 3 1/2 inches or so. We just fill the chamber up and send it through. I think it handles it well. I know bells has make a grab arm adjustable so you can run the smaller stuff. I have a pic and video of some small stuff going through but forgot to add it to the last video.
Rodney Pekarek sorry I should have left it for ya. 1 888 995 1965 Not sure if they will be open monday (it's a holiday here) but Tuesday for sure. Not sure where you are but they ship world wide too. I have a bunch of other videos of the 4000 as well feel free to check them out too.
The hookaroon/pickaroon is a good call. Just watched a ChipperGuy video and their operator just leans in to do it by hand. I'm no safety freak but that made me cringe.
I know the video you are taking about. The pickaroon makes life so much easier. Plus it is safer. I'm lost if I dont have it haha bells actually designed the cab so you can use it to pry so you dont bend anything on the window frame. Little details like that is why we love the bells
hi there nice machine john
Ya it was a great machine for us
That roller at the end of the log chute seems to make a big difference - ours doesn’t have that
A guy not to far from us updated his 2000 with that front roller and said it's night and day difference.
@@SkidderKev how did he do that? Was it a bells upgrade or a homemade one?
The machine was at bells getting a cab put on and they did it there. Not sure what it takes or if they can make a kit up for ya.
@@SkidderKev ha - cool - ok thks! 👍
I like how you pick out the little pieces...professional job
Thanks Dave! If you check out some on my latest videos we have a tumbler now to get all those little pieces. Nothing but the best product for our customers
Now that is the way to process firewood! And I’ve seen a lot of firewood videos!
Thanks David! We are very happy with it.
That's a well built piece of kit there Kev.
+Lord Muck sure is!! we love it
Great running machine! Cycle time is smooth and not too fast or slow
ya its quick!
What a machine,,! Making heaps and fast, looks safe to. Nice one that's a winner.
It sure does put the wood up fast! We love it and highly recommend bells if you are looking for one.
@@SkidderKev I live in the tropics but I find channels like yours fascinating. Cheers and take care.
Glad you enjoy it axeman! Means alot hear that! Where abouts in the tropics are you?
@@SkidderKev Bali Indonesia. Southern hemisphere, it's wet season here now so we getting rain. It never gets cold here so it's nice check out You Tubers that are in the far north. All the best.
Seems like any of the small bugs are worked out. All functions look efficient. A wonder to watch.
Thanks!!! We had a fee bugs at the beginning but run perfect now. Very happy with it.
The operator has the last piece dialed in ! Is it cottonwood?
Thanks! That is hard maple.
Which is better a bells or a cord King I really like the bells with the trauma behind the splitter?
I'm guessing you mean tumbler behind the splitter? Imo its bells. We love our bells we think it is heavier built the CK plus the single hand operation that comes standard is awesome and has worked flawless for us. High production too.
What made you decide to back a log off the infeed ?
Great Video.
+VideosByAl I figures someone was going to ask me that. if you watch it again you can see another log infeeding with it. I had to back it up just so I could get tail weight on it so I could get it off.
Is a guard over the pushrod so nothing can fall in there on the retract and break stuff might be a good idea?
The new machines come with a guard over that cylinder now and the fuel tank is moved to the front. Always trying to make there machines better
How much for this machine,where built, phone#?

that's awesome kev wow !
+StumpjumperVideos thanks! it's a pretty slick set up
man that's a sweet setup!! pard love to watch that splitter bust through them big gnots on that timber lol how long at steady speed dose it take to fill a truck or trailer?
+CAT DIESEL POWER it all depends on the size of the firewood but we can normal fill our 6x12 dump trailer in about 20 mins
+CAT DIESEL POWER it all depends on the size of the firewood but we can normal fill our 6x12 dump trailer in about 20 mins
Skidder Kev wow that's very fast!! great machine FO sho ! pard
+CAT DIESEL POWER sure is. considering that it would take us all day for the 2 of us to do 4 bush cord with a saw and splitter and we would be beat.
Do I need to give you directions to my house so you can demonstrate that beast on my pile of firewood??? That is a good looking design.
+David Haley sure!!! Haha ya we are really happy with it. Won't be long and we will be putting it back to work.
How much is this machine?
Somewhere around 100k as you see it. Give Brent a call and he will be happy to give you a quote on one.
@@SkidderKev Is brent with bells machinery
Yes he is. He is the owner. Sorry about that
Have you ever had to change teeth on the blade? what is the cost of the blade and a single tooth? thanks.
Yes we have had to change a whole set of teeth after I hit a fence hanger. Not sure of the exact cost of thr blade but think its around 4k and the single shank with carbide tip is about 11 bucks. And just the tip is about 5, you just have to silver solder them on.
What is the largest diameter the Bells' will handle?
20" max for this 4000. I think a 8000 will do 30" or almost 30
What an awesome brute of a machine 💪
It sure is! Thanks for watching
Wow that's a sweet machine, what size hydraulic motor is used to spin that beast of a blade? thanks for sharing your video.
+Tony Ciarleglio I think it's 35gpm at 2000psi. I'm going to guess the bigger machines run a bigger pump too.
how does this machine work with smaller diameter wood ??
We will put logs on till I can't hold them anymore pretty much. That is about 3 1/2 inches or so. We just fill the chamber up and send it through. I think it handles it well. I know bells has make a grab arm adjustable so you can run the smaller stuff. I have a pic and video of some small stuff going through but forgot to add it to the last video.
holy smoke's that thing is slick .whats the longest you can cut the rounds at
+west coast logging alex esgate the longest is 20 inch.
Do they offer a medal detector as an option for that rig.
not that I know of.
Very nice 5-6 sec its fast
Thanks! Ya it cycles fast
So it takes a $50 hookaroon to keep a $50k machine running smoothly. You have way too much fun at work. It looks like you cut your wood pretty short.
Nice machine, how many cords a hour does it do on a normal day?
It all depends on the size of wood but we are about 2.5 . That's 4" to 12" diameter stuff
Looks like there is a bent paddle on the elevator..... How did that happen?
+Grime 5740 we really aren't sure. we just happened to notice it one morning. you would figure I would of heard something when it happened.
boy ol pa likey ! thats impressive !
No fooling around
I simply need one of these machines, asap.
Rodney Pekarek give the 1 800 number a call and talk to Brent, he will hook you up!
Sorry, I Don't See A 800 Number Anywhere.
Rodney Pekarek sorry I should have left it for ya. 1 888 995 1965

We are looking as well. Will this cut hard oak crane mats?????
So you want to turn the old mats into firewood? I don't see why it can't do it but might be tough on the carbide teeth but better then a bar saw.
I need one of these machines, how much is a 4000 machine to Gaston Oregon 97119 area.
We are just owners. You will have to call Brent at bells to get a quote for one. 1 888 995 1965. Let him know you skidder Kev sent ya over
Slick opperation
+Reel McCoy sure is!!! thanks for watching and for subscribing!!
whew that sure is pumping out the wood
+swn02 no fooling around! thanks for watching and the comment!
would love to have such a machine at home =)
TheRobbe88 we love it!! The boss really did spoil me with getting this !
anit much that wont eat wow !!!!

I know the video you are taking about. The pickaroon makes life so much easier. Plus it is safer. I'm lost if I dont have it haha bells actually designed the cab so you can use it to pry so you dont bend anything on the window frame. Little details like that is why we love the bells
@@SkidderKev
Little things can be critical.
Have a merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas to you to Tom!
@@SkidderKev
Thanks
more ram speed
We have made some adjustments since this video was taken.
