Have you considered a polytunnell/s on your hard standing area for local storage / solar kiln / active drying Archie? Using tbem here in wet old Ireland and couldn't manage without em!
Great video Archie! Well on your way to hitting those targets! Sounds like a good plan to get ahead doing the nets 🔥💯👍. Thanks for having us over Archie! I really enjoy your content 😊! Big fan!! Take care an see you on the next one! Cheers! Andrew from NB, Canada :)
Definitely net the logs Archie, very impressed by the size of rounds that you were processing through the 400, It's a good idea to set your goal on getting the 800 nets into the 2nd storage location. keep up the good work.
Hi Archie, what if you focused on the vented bags until Depot 1 and Depot 2 are filled? It would give the wood a little extra time to dry. The second option would be to fill additional cages now, fill Depot 2, and then make the nets. I'd focus all on production now and nets later. It's only a suggestion. No one knows your business better than you. Keep up the great videos. I have watched them all!
I have seen high production products (Dyna or the Cord King CS2040). You have to sit/stand there while manually moving the logs and cutting and then splitting. I have not seen anything close to the Fuelwood that lets you use a remote control and not have to sit or stand operating the round cutter and firewood splitter with conveyors. Its so fun to watch. Its like watching a game of "where can I fix the bottlenecks." Looking forward to how his farm improves.
Maybe fill up all the totes first before you start netting...that way everything is drying out in the summer sun for as long as possible. I wish you had a better way to switch bags and totes without stopping the factory so its as productive as possible but that would probably need more conveyors.
@@oakfarmfirewood That sounds great. You probably would just have to remove the cleaner attached to the end of the Fuelwood Factory Conveyor since the Japa would clean it anyway. Just wondering if you would have enough room to clean out the container that would catch all the odd bits and ends under the Japa.
Hi, great video, who do you buy the long logs from?
Thank you

i dry all my wood in a polytunnell works a treat, must have breatheable sides and a whirly bird on top to stop moisture build up

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks
Have you thought about a polytunnel for drying in?
They are good but very ugly. I also think a second barn is more versatile. But yes logs will probably dry better in a polly.

Cheers Jason it’s definitely a big juggling act
Great operation you have. Can you have the palazzo and the fuel wood going at the same time time to increase production.?
You mean Palax? Yes just need a second deck and a final resting place for the Palax
12:09 maybe take the plate off and replace with a wisker switch set to stop the machine.. thanks for the bag tip I'm gunna try that today
Nice idea
Love the crocs work boots. Great men think alike
Maybe weld some spikes on that steel bar for easy turning them logs
Do they make a machine that take bigger logs in the same type processor
They don’t but there are others
Make hay while the sun shines 👍🏴
Do u work by yourself ?
Yes, sometimes there is someone at the yard but delivery etc just by me
Why dont you put a laser right after the rounds are made so it can alarm if its too big?
It very very really happens as the Splitta can take slightly bigger than the Woodcutta
I'd say if you have time for nets get bagging!!.. we are cutting ash that was just cut down and it's 30% moisture
Definitely net that pile up - its like having money in the bank !
Marching towards 10k Archie 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Slowly slowly! Share wide and far! 😬
Like the videos could you not build a temporary structure to store the bags on your own land to save time and money?
Not temp no
I thought it was completely automated. Like you were able to do other tasks while it’s cutting and splitting.

Yes I could get the japa roller cleaner and when changing the bag keep filling that while it’s off.

@@draconisle yes that’s the trouble.
Sounds like a night shift or 3 great vidj 👍👌👍👌👨🌾💯🪵🪵🪵🪵🪵🪵💷💷💷💷💷😎😎🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Just buy a vepak machines for your nets :) if you have a spare 50,000 euro
50,000? You mean 95,000
@@oakfarmfirewood there is a 2018 one at 50
You call big in block of firewood 🪵 is smaller them our limbs on our grey birch . 😮
