Hi Tim - it's Big Rodders in Ireland. I think the reason why Joe doesn't award the videographer EOTM is because he'd have to provide her with a truck to park in the allocated spot and he's too tight for that!
I said a few months ago I'd like to see the eightway running on good 10-12inch logs,now I have. One man,3.5 cord an hour excellent throughput Joe. Another man feeding the logdeck and shifting the trailer. The skys the limit. Cheers from Hawkes Bay N Z
That’s just incredible! Right logs and you can really fly! But all that oak smell! Enduring that oder will surely help you earn employee of the month for November! Great video!
Wow! Done and done! Elaine from Canada here, that looked amazing. At that rate I can see how you can get behind on the next job…stacking it all. And you’re still in only a shirt, we’d get frostbite and hypothermia here. Great camera work catching the massacre in Ohio, heh heh. Enjoy the nice weather Joe, cheers.
Good morning Joe, That was a good run and a great demonstration of the efficiency of the Japa. I've said this before, but it's interesting to see how slick the knives on the Japa work compared to other machines. Even with the 8 way, I don't think I saw one piece flick over backwards as it was being split. Good job Joe, and great design Japa.👍🇬🇧
What a beautiful machine Joe!! Those were some nice logs going through there. Wow! I have been watching since the beginning and love seeing your progress. Cheers from eastern Pa.
It’s funny that sense you pointed out that elm tree at the beginning of Ohio on Rt 80 from PA I find myself giving it the thumbs out when I drive by it.
@@ohiowoodburner NY. We travel to Indiana 2-3 times a week. Tried to get to your open house but the wife came down with the flu. We fuel up at the Pilot in Austintown.
Well Joe that is the way to do it. Plan ahead and get it done. That is quite a Machine and the 8way Splitter is fantastic. Cutting some more Locust today and Tomorrow I will split it Up. Thumbs up Buddy and remember to always Stay Safe. Ron from the Woodyard in Duanesburg NY.
Good Job Joe: It’s really good when you have nice size logs. The processor’s really crank out the firewood. I’m probably going to upgrade from the 365 to something a little bigger.
With that 8-way, gotta be careful that you don’t overdo it trying to keep up with the machine, remember in my youth, having a factory job on a machine that was like that. Highly productive for sure!
I was wondering should you consider now that you have that fan for saw dust. Keeping a full size ibc in the cage for strength and yes remove the top of it for emptying it but just set it back on when filling. I just think the tractor could lift it easier and you could tip it with forks. Just a thought. That’s my 4th time watching that video. That 405 is awesome
Hey Joe great video. Was intrigued by the title cause you say in Ohio to wait.around 15 min and the weather would chance, I waited with abated breath thought it might snow haha 😂 and shout out to Log Hauler Jesse hope y'all have a great 👍 day
That’s a sweet machine Joe cool, that’s what I call work smarter not harder lol. I have my test on my head tomorrow morning at 7:30 that’s when I’ll find out what’s going on with me. Keep it real Joe.
Joe could you do 5 rounds on the supersplit and 5 rounds on the axis like 16 inch diameter for smaller bundle wood if i don't buy a processor thinking about the axis want to see if i will be much faster then the supersplit thanks chris from tupper lake
Just an idea floating around in my head and now confirmed by Back 40.... I think you need to demo one of those mini loaders. Maybe your buddy at favorite equipment place has one you can demo. Time to trade your tractor for a mini loader to rock and roll at the new wood yard.... for sure.
Great video, everything is flowing smoothly, and working well, if I may say the only thing I noticed was the saw is not quite up to the standard of the rest of the machine, although you made it a lot better it still seems a little down on power compared to the rest of the system.
This is hard to explain but I don't hear the engine bogging when I'm running the machine. I could have adjusted the saw motor more. When I watch the vid I notice it just like you do. This is operator error...This can be adjusted.
Wow! Modern machinery is amazing. When I was a kid here in the great state on NC. We an axe, sledge hammer and a mall. I was not quite this productive. LOL
Joe, I have a suggestion for your trailer paint. A top quality undercoating to help protect your investment. Wire brush clean and roll it on, regular paint inside the bed. Just a thought.
Thanks tim. I don't see them working for me. I let my wood sit too long and they would mold in there I fear. Also I think it would slow me down loading my truck for a delivery. Once my wood is stacked life becomes much easier. Thanks for watching buddy!
What would it take to turn a shipping container into a dry kiln? I can just imagine a row of 10 containers producing wood gasification furnace wood in IBC baskets at $800/cord!
You have a great machine their.. if i didnt have the 2 processors i have and had to do it over again id buy one too. But mine are paid for so its time to run em till they wont go no more. Lol
You had a full can of "Go-Fast Cereal" for breakfast! If you are not careful they are going to make you CEO and give you a company truck - then you will be stuck in the office and won't have access to the Japa! - Great Work!
Wonder why the Saw bulls down the engine so hard. Wouldn't think it would take a ton of hp to do that. I never here the motor pull hard on my dyna. Your 8 way doesn't even phase your motor, I would think the Saw motor would take less to run. It really eats the would though. Nice machine
It is an adjustment. For whatever reason I don't hear this when I'm running the machine like I do watching on vid. All I need to do is dial back the saw pressure and that prob would be fit
To be fair, any time you can use large straight logs to maximize the throughput of your equipment, you will get great results regardless of the brand. This is where a 6 or 8 way is faster at processing in one push, than a box blade taking multiple strokes. 😊
Nice wood, that oak is dry, ready to burn! I bet you wished the money would come in as fast as the machine can cut it. There's no money around...mines all gone🤣
How many people wiuld you need to stack wood and how many dump trailers would you need to haul wood away if all you did was run the Japa 405? Say 3 cords an hour, you'd need a lot of people to stack that much wood an hour and not wrar them out!
I don't think three cords an hour is realistic. These logs were hand picked by me and the table was primed for a fast run. This rarely is the case with a processor.
The best part of this design is simplicity. Someone would have to stand there so not much gain in efficiency. Also the logs in these demonstrations are perfect size and shape not going to be that easy all the time. The main thing is the cycle time how long it takes the splitter forward and back and is another round waiting to fall. This machine looks pretty good. I wish videos had more detail about hydraulic system
ha. I made one mistake trying to remove a conversation I had with the camera operator. This was his first time and I had to speak to him in the middle. When I took that portion out I snipped the last cut of a log from the vid so there is one log missing from this vid. otherwise it is all unedited.
That is awesome! I can see why you have repeatedly been the employee of the month. You know how to run that thing!
I have an impressive streak for EOTM for sure!
I think camera lady deserves employee of the month maybe not Joe. 😬😂 Sorry Joe.
Hi Tim - it's Big Rodders in Ireland. I think the reason why Joe doesn't award the videographer EOTM is because he'd have to provide her with a truck to park in the allocated spot and he's too tight for that!
Joe, you operate that machine like you stole it. Great to see it go at full speed and give great productivity
That machine is a BEAST!
Now that's how you make firewood one cut one push and the splits look beautiful 🎉
It was a fun time for sure Dave
Always great to see some wood being pumped through a beautiful processor!
Couldn't agree more!
Joe, that IS the perfect machine for your operation, no wonder you always get giddy with excitement when running it!!
I said a few months ago I'd like to see the eightway running on good 10-12inch logs,now I have. One man,3.5 cord an hour excellent throughput Joe. Another man feeding the logdeck and shifting the trailer. The skys the limit. Cheers from Hawkes Bay N Z
awesome to have you on board Cliff. I hope you are having a nice time in NZ. I hope to visit there one day
That’s just incredible! Right logs and you can really fly!
But all that oak smell! Enduring that oder will surely help you earn employee of the month for November!
Great video!
The smell and the stacking are killers LOL
Man and machine definitely in sync on this one 🔥
It was a lot of fun for sure this run
great job joe great video you are a hard worker good camera work
Thanks Bob The camera operator was one of my HS helpers. Not bad for a rookie effort.
Nicely done Joe showing off what this machine can do. I did a halfish cord in about 3 hours from log to usable splits ready for stacking.
I wouldn't be able to be in business without a processor. Too much work for me!
Wow! Done and done! Elaine from Canada here, that looked amazing. At that rate I can see how you can get behind on the next job…stacking it all. And you’re still in only a shirt, we’d get frostbite and hypothermia here. Great camera work catching the massacre in Ohio, heh heh. Enjoy the nice weather Joe, cheers.
haha. Thanks Elaine! We had some cold weather move out and things got nice when the clouds left. this was a super fun day regardless
A cord every 17 minutes is crazy! Making big money today! Hope your day is going well
... Annnnnnddd then it needs stacked LOL
@@ohiowoodburner shhh we don't talk about that part 😂
That sure did make quick work of that stack of logs. Just imagine if all your logs were that size and you ran that all the time…
I know but that is rarely the case. I cherry picked these logs just for this run. This was ideal conditions. Thanks Keith

Thanks for watching and supporting. What part of PA do you live My youngest daughter goes to school out that way
This is awesome! Love the 405, that was a great run Joe!
It sure was bob. I cherry picked these logs to have a run like this. Today the oiler decided to work also LOL
@@ohiowoodburner Nice! Hopefully you get that new one soon too 🙂
An 8-way massacre! I could envision chalk outlines around the splits strewn on the ground! Great work on that live-deck of logs. 👍
LOL I should have thought of that. Funny! thanks RG
It’s funny that sense you pointed out that elm tree at the beginning of Ohio on Rt 80 from PA I find myself giving it the thumbs out when I drive by it.

Im impressed each time you run the Japa!! I believe the camera Lady should be Employee of the Month!!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day
haha. My wife is under the weather this week. The camera was handled by a rookie and I think he did great!
Its Alive, and a lot less slash that the box wedge, Thats one productive Beast!👏👍🏼👍🏼🇺🇸
It was AWESOME! I cherry picked these logs just for this run. It was a lot of fun Larry and Robin!!!

Thanks for watching Ron!
That is an awesome run for sure. Makes you wish all your wood came in that size.
very true. It took me a while to get all these logs for this run. This never happens in real life LOL
Good Job Joe: It’s really good when you have nice size logs. The processor’s really crank out the firewood. I’m probably going to upgrade from the 365 to something a little bigger.
I cherry picked these log for this run. It was a blast Rich!
good morning Joe hope you have a wonderful upcoming week sir 😊
You too!
This is the best sort of video
Thank you.
sure thing bud. This one was A LOT of fun
With that 8-way, gotta be careful that you don’t overdo it trying to keep up with the machine, remember in my youth, having a factory job on a machine that was like that. Highly productive for sure!
Hi There that Japa 405 is a Game Changer for sure
I like the round saw better than a chain and bar 😮
Joe, that’s a great machine!
Hands down the best machine on the market

perhaps ...But... I still need a tractor for home with a PTO...brush hogging etc. And these mini loaders are VERY pricey!

Same here growing up. Dad would run the saw and split it all with a maul and wedges. Hydraulics didn't enter my family till just a few years ago..
LOL I am the same!
If I only had the funding for such a glorious machine and setup. I could be done splitting all of my firewood for the year in about 1 day.
That seems to be the case. This thing is amazing. Still it comes down to the right kind of logs
Do you have to manually center the splitting knives for the log round diameter variations?
That is one impressive machine!👍
It sure is Kev. I hope you have been doing well. Stop by someday buddy. Congrats on 1k!
@@ohiowoodburner Thanks, and I will swing by sometime!
Joe, I have a suggestion for your trailer paint. A top quality undercoating to help protect your investment. Wire brush clean and roll it on, regular paint inside the bed. Just a thought.
I think the trailer is a goner. I just use it for the yard. It still works great.
Looking forward to more business insights/advice videos. “ Keep on Keeping on!” Tim in northern TN
You got it Tim!
I like the Chomper much better because it shears the wood instead of cutting it. No sawdust with the Chomper.
Is that saw chain round file? Or square grind? Its lightnig fast.
Perfect sawing and splitting. Awesome video
That’s why your the employee of the month!!! You keep it up and you’ll slide right in to assistant manager.😂
How often do you need to change the chain?
That’s an awesome machine!
Hi Joe, love your channel and your sense of humor. Just curious why don't you use the face cord firewood bags??
Thanks tim. I don't see them working for me. I let my wood sit too long and they would mold in there I fear. Also I think it would slow me down loading my truck for a delivery. Once my wood is stacked life becomes much easier. Thanks for watching buddy!
Well, I can make a machine that can split a cord of wood in three seconds! $117,000.
Okay, you’ve got a magnificent machine there.
Joe... are you estimating cord based on what falls in the trailer or how many logs you had on the live deck
The 405's computer calculated the cordage. It counted 1.2 cords but my experience it was darn close or maybe just a bit under.
@@ohiowoodburner that is a pretty sick option for that machine. Everytime i hear about it it is even more impressive
What would it take to turn a shipping container into a dry kiln? I can just imagine a row of 10 containers producing wood gasification furnace wood in IBC baskets at $800/cord!
I'm sure it can be done. I would never be able to do it myself however. LOL
That's a nice setup!
How much gas would you say that machine uses to process a cord?
approx one gallon per hour. It is very efficient
Nice run joe
Thanks LeBlanc
Nicely done!
Thanks Nick!
nice equipment, but i do not understand why those beautiful logs are not sent to saw mils, used as material and buildings
Wow. What took so long Joe. Haha. That would have taken me all day to split. Take care.
This was a lot of fun. I had the perfect logs for this
What a machine!
That's what I kept saying the remainder of this day LOL.
@@ohiowoodburner I check for availability and it said they were SOLD OUT!
No dealers in Ontario Canada.
You have a great machine their.. if i didnt have the 2 processors i have and had to do it over again id buy one too. But mine are paid for so its time to run em till they wont go no more. Lol
haha. I don't blame you. What types do you have Jason?
@ohiowoodburner got a dyna sc-16 for the smaller stuff. And than the multitek 2040 for the bigger stuff. And a few other splitters for misc stuff.
How often do you replace the blade?
I should have said chain as it appears to be a chainsaw doing the cutting.
Wow! Impressive.
Thanks Holly!
Good morning Joe.
Hello there!
Hit that LIKE Button folks!! Keeps the technowizardry dudes wondering!!
Thanks for having my back Greg
You had a full can of "Go-Fast Cereal" for breakfast! If you are not careful they are going to make you CEO and give you a company truck - then you will be stuck in the office and won't have access to the Japa! - Great Work!
I am good at pointing Greg! I can point and tell people what to do lol
Given you seem to be doing all the work I am starting to question if they listen😃@@ohiowoodburner
Nice and productive 👌
It is an amazing machine Farmer!
I’m thinking what would it cost 💲
It’s got to be out of sight for 99% of people 😢😢

Price on these? 125k?
How long to do a cord with perfect split
I made a cord in 27 minutes with the PS. It is in one of my old videos.
@@ohiowoodburner 10 more minutes to have it bundle ready is fine with me
Gday Joe how many ton is the ram on the japa?
I'm not sure. I think 17. That is one thing I failed to point out that the machine never jammed running oak thru an 8 way. Wow!
I did a cord loaded on a truck, 5 pound axe and a chainsaw
In 20 minutes.
Like u said a beast
Indeed Jim!
That thing is impressive yet the Anderson stacking machine is faster!!😎
haha. I could have used you guys for this. Knowing I have to stack kinda chills my excitement lol
To be fair, any time you can use large straight logs to maximize the throughput of your equipment, you will get great results regardless of the brand. This is where a 6 or 8 way is faster at processing in one push, than a box blade taking multiple strokes. 😊

Kind of silly standing there pulling levers when a few control circuits would double the production.
