Happy Easter to you and your family!! You are so easy to watch and learn from with a diversity of jobs within your portfolio....not a bit of wonder this channel is growing. Look forward to the next one.
Thanks for all the good information. I purchased an ECO pro 300 a year ago for personal use. It would be a big improvement to the cycle time to cut while the splitter is retracting. It should take very little power to retract the splitting cylinder since there is no load on it. You will need to modify the hyd ckt as the saw must run off the power beyond port of the splitter cylinder valve. It's great to see how well your machine is holding up with the amount of cords you process with it.
I think that you should test carbide-tipped chain. A buddy of mine has run his processor "professionally" over a year without sharpening. But that is not skidded logs, they are harvested and forwarded as in never dragged on the ground...
I live at 7,500' i have concerns that a 14hp motor would struggle to keep up given the altitude, everything seems to struggle a bit here. Good video very informative.
Hi Jeff, and good Easter to you and your family, even if it`s a way out of what I`m doing I´m always fascinated by what your extensions and improvements for your business to make it more profitable. and also interesting for your viewers to watch your findings🇺🇸👍🏻🙏🏻☮. greetings🇳🇱🇳🇴,Hubertus
Hi Jeff, it's nice to see up and about, you still have the mung? Or it sounds like you do, so thanks for the maintenance vidio! My wife is the chainsaw? Person in our household, l will share with you sometime why! Looks like a sunny day, Enjoy the rest of your Easter weekend, and l hope it's a healthy and sunny one! ✌🏻🧡🌤🇨🇦🙂, Ontario 🍁. Your neighbor and friend.
Happy Easter! I love your channel and content! You might be able to put a larger gpm hydraulic pump on it with a flow control in order to use more functions at once ( ram and saw function together). You would definitely have the horsepower to run it with that honda
I’m thinking maybe a 3 section pump so the saw and the splitter and the accessories each have their own fluid supply. Thanks for the kind words! Have a blessed Easter. Jeff
Hi, I have a 2 yr old eco pro 300 and having trouble with the hydraulic saw arm coming down all the way through the log. it leaves about 1/2 inch uncut. it seems like all adjustment for the ram is at the end of it's ability. anyone experience this? Great video, Thank you from Northern Ontario Canada.
Common issue- I had to move the top anchor for the ram up a little and the bottom out a little in order to get it to cut all the way through the log, and still go all the way to the top of the travel. It took a bit of experimenting to get it right.
I would've that that the processor would come with 3/8 pitch saw chain, a bigger tooth means faster cut. If I had that machine I'd want a in-feed belt up the the saw bar..........
The only reason I ask is because it happened to my Eco pro with 12 hours on it…..I know some of the fault was mine because I was putting blocks of oak in the splitter that would not fit through the saw …but I think that is a weak point in this processor …I was sent a new processor and now I put a strip of metal between the front of the axe and the hydrolic tank to give the axe some thing to wear on…..besides that problem I think it a great processor 👍
Nice bike! haha. Nice upgrades on the processor too. Wish I had your mechanical skills and ingenuity. Also, I missed it if you mentioned it but how many cords do you split per hour with that processor?
That is a great old bike, it’s probably the most ‘mature’ owners bike I’ve had in a long time. I feel like the old man I am when I’m on it! lol. That little processor is definitely better than making wood with a chainsaw and an axe, I’ve made a full cord, 128 cubic feet in less than an hour before, but plan on 2 hours for twisted gnarly hardwood at 16” long. I’m either going to make this one faster, or invest in a commercial unit this year.
@@thelogfather5002 I have a vertical splitter that I have yet to use seriously. I was told I could do 1-2 cords and hour with it but I think it's more a question of having the right workflow and not having to pick up the wood off the floor more times than I need. Firewood people around here seem to mostly use Cordking..I've seen a Pallax system too that seemed nice. Posch and Rabaud are some other brands I've seen online but not in person. Wallenstein is probably one of the companies who approched you and I really like the company but sadly not the products or prices for what you get.

Thanks for being apart of it all! Have a blessed Easter!

I’ll post a video of it as soon as I sort it all out. Thanks for watching! Jeff

I think you’re right! I’ll have to give one a try!

I added a 22hp Honda to mine- made a huge difference

I would love to see a video on the processor upgraded for that saw to cut while the ram in returning!
I’ll post it if I can figure it out!
Happy Easter Jeff
He is RISEN! Happy Easter Corey!
@@thelogfather5002 that's good news for us!!!
@@coreyhannan4263 the best news!
You could put the bar and chain numbers on the screen 😊
I’ll see if I can find the numbers and make a little video later in the future.
Good for another 100 cords . HAPPY EASTER to you and your family . 😊
He is RISEN! 😁
I have to ask did the bottom of your splitting axe ever wear a hole/crack in the hydrolic tank and cause a leak?
Did you ever make the adjustments to get it too cut and split at the same time?
No- I sold it before I made the modifications- I did buy a 3 section pump- the new owner has it all now- he might make the swap.
Was the honda engine a bolt up swap far as the hydro pump ?
Yup, bolt on plug and play. I had to remove the tool box.
Why did you replace the 18 in bar with a twenty ? Are you having trouble with the bar hitting the frame if you did how did you fix it
No clearance issues at all. That’s the same spec bar that came with the machine.
@thelogfather5002 thanks

You’d like my new processor then. Check out todays video!
Carbide is all I use on my processor. RR 27 is what I have.
That’s 2 votes for carbide! I’m soon gonna have to try one.

I haven’t seen that issue on mine.
I'm curious where you bought the Oregon bar and chain. Canadian tire? Princess Auto?
OCR Equipment In Bridgewater
Figured I just bought one as you got a new one 😂
The Range Road is still a great little machine- I just outgrew it.

What are the other processor companies in Canada ?
Easton made, range road, splitfire, I’m sure there are others…
Moi mon prosseseur a bois comme ça la chaîne saute quand je coupe du bois dure elle tourne pas assez vite 😢 peut être mal placé les hausse
Maybe the rakers are a bit aggressive?

@@michelaubin7565 post a video of it running and share the link with me. I’ll see if I recognize what’s going on with it.
I pushed the disk like by accident I have large fingers
It’s all good! 😎
