I'd love to try the 40C on my next load of logs. Waiting for a tractor company to email me for a tractor sponsorship deal so can load the live deck on the processor. Might as well dream big on such sponsorship deals!
I’m buying an Eastonmade Ultra because of you, Chris. Trying to place an order through phone. They are obviously busy. Eastonmade will be at Bangor Maine Lumberman’s show in May. Looking forward to maybe seeing Andrew and crew. You coming to Maine,? I owe you Lobstah lunch…
Ideas..... 16 inch mark back from your saw blade for reference... IBC tote to catch your cookies/shorts IBC tote with bladder to catch your sawdust.... That thing is a total wood eating machine!!!! You're gonna need more sawlogs!!Lots more Logs! GNI
Hello from Chicago! A grown man in Canada this morning woke up, got his coffee, turned on his computer and wept tears of joy. “He turned on my machine, he finally turned the damn thing on!!”
@@InTheWoodyard, that great machine has to be running around 4,000 psi and 50 gpm! Beast! Being in the manufacturing industry, I can attest that Andrew is a great systems engineer!
Nice, saw the video all the way through, I'm bed bound in recovery from chemo radiation treatment, and your channel is my medicine, keeps my mind occupied, your awesome brother. I'm looking for more to keep me busy. Thanks for all you do. God bless.
Adam & Bert are handy guys, suggest they throw together a set of grizzly bars or a tumbler to help separate the dirt/smaller slivers/junk from the good stuff. You could use the stand alone conveyor to then move the pieces to the trailer. Great vid & a good long one. Thanks & glad to see you used the adjustable spanner wrenches I sent you.
@Brian Clements a disc cleaner or tumbler can change the direction of the conveyor to do exactly as you suggest. Can't wait to see what you guys come up with for solutions to issues as they develop. Being a machinist really helps to solve problems.
That was worth the wait, you processed a lot of wood in one video, enjoyed the various shots, and operators to help in making the video, and yes I watched it in one shot. Cheers
This video was hands down simply awesomeness!! Loved it!! Thanks for this one Chris!! Throughly enjoyed this all 2 hours of it!! Will be fun to see the ultra on the resplits there to! Everyone did a great job that day! Thanks for all of your awesome content and hard work an dedication you put into creating and getting this great content out there for us woodfolks to watch an enjoy!! In The Woodyard is definitely the place to be!! 💯👍. Take care and see you tomorrow, same wood time, same wood channel! GNI! Andrew from NB, Canada :)
Beautiful sight to see! You got into the groove again quick, after not running the processor for so long. Truckloads will get done in no time now! Awesome to see with Keith's dad in the skid loader it works smooth!
OMG, Chris! What a machine 👍🏼. I would love one of those. I only proceeded a trailer load today for myself and that took long enough. Australian hardwood is hard lol and I’m not getting any younger, my friend.
Adam, Bert, Chris, Gavin and Keith. Very nice movie. The work flow was like watching a well choreographed ballet with out the tutu's. Headsets in the budget, after you recover from the HD hit. The processor is a BEAST.
Good morning Chris!!😀😀 Looked like everyone was a little rusty at first when running it. That tree service wood is quite a bit harder to run than wood cut with a tree harvester. I really miss being able to come up and work with you guys and run the processor. Hopefully I might be able to this summer. Take care my friends!!😀😀💚💚 Logger Al
Is there going be part 2 of this. I like to thank you for everything. Video are awesome. Only issue I had was the waste. You shouldn't had a tail or something so you don't have to work time. Kept area Clean in case of emergency
Like the video. Don't know why, but I like seeing how you guys and the processor handle the problem wood. Crotches, too big, etc. Nothings perfect in this imperfect world.
Hey Chris just finished watching 2hr 3 min and I will say awesome video showing the processor not a pracessor lol 😂 in the real world. You and Bret are pros now in the big leagues of firewood production, Impressive! Eastonmade & In The Woodyard scenery of Orange and blue top notch cheers my friends Brad. 👌🏻🔥🇨🇦
You've got a good pile of wood there and I figured. It was because of the response that you're proud of there. I never thought too much about the mud. But yeah that's a good idea to keep it clean you're in production mode now
It's a perfect day for running running the processor. You have the A team running today!!! I sure hope Bert has a lot of empty totes!! You guys are kicking ass and taking names today. Great video Chris. Wooo🪵👍
Got a good laugh when Chris was up by Kenny with his A-team. Then Kenny said, "My A-team is old and crippled." Kenny cracks me up. What he said is funny but true. Doing the hard work of making firewood is what keeps them healthy.
I know it is a lot easier on your body using the processor but I think you process wood faster using a saw and a splitter. Having equipment really makes things easier, if there is anything easy about firewood. That skid loader sure is a big help in so many ways. It is also nice to have good help to work with.
Equipment and help is key with a processor. If can get perfect firewood logs, like the kind Ohio Wood Burner gets, the Japa 405 and Perfect-split system is really fast. Absolutely ZERO respilts with the box wedge. Eastonmade would have a box wedge, but is an issue when it comes to the patents with Japa.
Not even close James , in the last 2 times we ran the processor (Maybe 12 hours total) we cut and split about 16 -18 FULL cords. In 12 hours I MIGHT be able to cut and split about 5 full cords.And I would not be able to get out of bed the next week! Ha!!!
The only thing I see you need to do differently is this. Separate the two ignition keys. One is the normal every day key and the other should be resting is a very safe and obvious place as a spare. Lol Other than that it looks like what my father always says, “seat time, all you need is seat time.” He also says “looks so easy even a 12 year old girl can do it.” Wish we were closer I would run that puppy all day for a nice meal at the A&W. 😊
As we say here in the the south, “You’re lettin’ it eat!” That really makes quick work of some forests, my friend. Don’t know if you’ve thought of it but some pink tape at 16” on your guide rail of your log chute might help when judging the end of a log final cut. Hope it helps!
Nice machine Chris fortunately I'll just keep plugging with my little Craftsman 27 ton log splitter been running my firewood business since I was 15 on 64 now retired ironworker I guess sometimes he just get lucky
That conveyor jamming up like it did. Probably should put a longer piece of mud flap on it. Stop all that garbage from falling down behind and jamming up that conveyor. Just a thought
Debris will always end up there after a lot of cutting and splitting. It was one little pencil size piece that fell through that got exactly in the right spot to plug the gear.
Good video. If you had one more guy you could grab those big splits before they hit the conveyor and re-split on the Ultra. Re-splitting on the processor was time consuming. Thanks for the content.
Great video, processor is nice for perfect wood but if you have to take the time now to resplit that's a pain in the butt. You guys are wood splitting machines keep up the good work.
Morning Chris. All hands on deck today👍 I don’t know if it’s the camera angle but it’s looks like you will have to re split some of those larger pieces for your customers, or are you going to leave them that size? They are perfect for my Wood Insert for heating. Nice to see the 22MB back in action🪵 Have a great day!
Chris, I know that you are aware of this by your headset comment, but for sure use good hearing PPE for that stuff. The long loud duration really does a number on the hearing if you are not careful. You can double up with ear canal inserts along with muffs.
Great video but lots of resplits to work with common problem with fast wood production its great to have help running the machine to keep the production going sure is better on your back than using saw and splitter but the machines really like certain wood keep up the hard work keep Andrew happy
Looks like everyone is getting into the action it’s good to see. And Chris you might consider oiling the chains they squeak just a thought .keep on cutting
Good night Irene Good morning Irene,just like night and day. So Chris one of your Over 1000 videos you said your Brother has you try his Husqvarna. Well I purchased the 4?? Rancher. Cuts so much faster, better than Poland Pro. We hauled in 8 dump trailer loads of logs, free logs to get our fire wood inventory started. PS we did not take your advice on only buying when you have the cash. Well ok we did pay for not finance our Brute force 20-24 splitter. Picked it up Wednesday. We are cutting rounds first ( like you said do one think complete then the next) . I was on vacation from day job but will this weekend "Run that splitter" before going back to day job🤮. Maybe we should visit you and do a split off.
At $154,000, you are blessed sir. Just the interest at 9% on a business loan in year one is about $13.5k. The principle on a 10 yr note is $10k for year one. You can't efficiently run without a second person, that's $40,000 per year which is under $20/hour. Add in the cost of the loading tractor and you're in another $8k per year. Maintenance and fuel, where maintenance is much higher through life of machine and can be factored in for year 1, another $10k. $80,000 per year to run. Then you have the management of a person, them quitting, their vacations, sick time, etc. You can't run that much wood and not have a delivery person because then you wouldn't be paying off the machine... Did I mention you are blessed?
You sound like a very pessimistic accountant. I know of several firewood businesses that have between 2 and 5 processors that run every day all day and sell and deliver 2-3 semi truck loads of firewood EVERY day. One of them has more that 20 anther that has 30 and the biggest I know has 60 employees, so it can be done. I do understand there are money and time costs to run a business I have run my own businesses for over 30 years now and I agree...it is not easy and it does not happen overnight.
Yeah, well, I wasn't wrong...Crew serviced weapon! Great weather, good company, demonstrable outcome at the end of it. This, Mr Chris, is what I believe true happiness looks like...👍🪓💪🇦🇺
Wow, the splitter on that thing is "the irresistible force". NOTHING stops it. The crooked wood can really slow things down! Just wondering, is there a control lockout to keep things from accidentally moving when you're up out of the seat, like when you have to manually re-orient a piece in the splitting chamber? I was getting nervous that you might bump a control lever while doing that and cause yourself a problem... but maybe it's not an issue. Looking at all the wood you ran through the machine that day, how long do you think it would have taken doing it the old fashioned way?
Some functions can only be run when the others are not, and some you could mess up if you had more hands. I think it is 3-4 times faster and more productive.
Looks great guys. Thought you maybe sold the processor lol. Appreciate the support
Just send the 40c for Chris's smaller wood.
@@BertsCustomCuts Chris has small wood?
I'd love to try the 40C on my next load of logs. Waiting for a tractor company to email me for a tractor sponsorship deal so can load the live deck on the processor. Might as well dream big on such sponsorship deals!
By the grace of Andrew they go, go they?
@@BertsCustomCuts maybe someday!!!
Finally! The Eastonmade 22MB, The Movie!
Yes!!!!!!
@@InTheWoodyard Here I am watching this for the second time today. Loving it!
I watch your video from Bahrain every day l like people how work hard it is nice to see all that wood you process
Where is that from Racine ?
🤔😁
Thanks so much for watching!
I’m buying an Eastonmade Ultra because of you, Chris. Trying to place an order through phone. They are obviously busy.
Eastonmade will be at Bangor Maine Lumberman’s show in May. Looking forward to maybe seeing Andrew and crew. You coming to Maine,? I owe you Lobstah lunch…
No, I will not be there. I will be making firewood!! Thanks for watching Mark!
Wonderful video. I enjoyed the longer time . Needed the extra time to show the processer fully in action.
Glad you enjoyed it! I am editing another one right now!
Well Chris that was better than any movie that my wife has dragged me to at the theaters lately and I think it was longer what a bonus.
Thanks for watching!
2 hours of loading, cutting, splitting and piling! Nice work, Gentlemen!💪
I think he mentioned six hours total , I think
But I can't imagine that they had to edit out four hours of bloopers
😉😄☺️
I used 3 cameras and some of the time they where not on. In total I had 8 hours of footage, some was over-lap shots from multiple angles.
@@InTheWoodyard It was sure a whole production...Well done, Chris!
At UGA we have a great cheer. LET THE BIG DAWG EAT! Great to see your Big Dawg in action again.
Yup, thanks...what is a UGA???
Good morning all! Today is supposed to be processor day, I've got my coffee and have been anxiously waiting. Let's roll!
I hope you liked it!
Ideas..... 16 inch mark back from your saw blade for reference...
IBC tote to catch your cookies/shorts
IBC tote with bladder to catch your sawdust....
That thing is a total wood eating machine!!!! You're gonna need more sawlogs!!Lots more Logs!
GNI
The back log clamp IS 16". A tote will not work, to high, we will eventually make a cookie catcher. I have used a tote with a bladder in the past.
Hello from Chicago!
A grown man in Canada this morning woke up, got his coffee, turned on his computer and wept tears of joy. “He turned on my machine, he finally turned the damn thing on!!”
Yup, the move I made over the past 4-5 months shut down production a bunch plus I had a butt load of deliveries to do during that time.
@@InTheWoodyard I'm just joking around Chris!
Man that splitter on that thing is something else. Did not even blink at splitting the big nasties. Awesome!
Yup, lots of power! 115 hp diesel!
Everyone got a turn and awesome camera angles.. what more could a viewer ask for.. 😁👍
Thanks 👍
That ram has RIDICULOUS tonnage! Very impressive!
Yes it is, I think 40 actual tons??? We can run almost any size of a round vertically...cross ways and it will push it through.
@@InTheWoodyard, that great machine has to be running around 4,000 psi and 50 gpm! Beast! Being in the manufacturing industry, I can attest that Andrew is a great systems engineer!
You've hit the jackpot with these guys.....they know what they are doing 😉
Yup, they are all great guys, almost everyone I have met in the wood yard has been awesome!
Great video of the Pro cessor working!! The whole crew took advantage of the beautiful weather!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day
Yup, thanks David!
Nice, saw the video all the way through, I'm bed bound in recovery from chemo radiation treatment, and your channel is my medicine, keeps my mind occupied, your awesome brother. I'm looking for more to keep me busy. Thanks for all you do. God bless.

Take the trailer and tractor out of the equation and use the other conveyor to pile it up on the concrete. Less work for the loader man to have to do.

Mike!!!! So it was you!! Thanks so much I just used them the other day, it works great! Thanks for watching!!!
Maybe so.
I sent these to my dad. We cut wood all our lives he's so shocked and has never seen a processor like this before. So neat, keep up the good work.
Thanks Brice!

Hey Chris great job on remembering the controls
Yup, it does take a little time , I am looking forward to running it again. We just ran it yesterday, that video will be out in a couple weeks or so.
Finally, a excellent lengthy movie. Great to see. Besides cats!
There will be more much more!
G’morning Chris. GREAT video to watch while I’m at work !!! Easy money. Carnàge has been achieved.
GoodNightIrene
Yup, do I get a cut of your pay for watching on the clock??? Haaaa!
I’ll think about it !
Thanks for the video. Great teamwork. Your production levels are going to be sky high. Thanks for sharing.
Yup, the team is great!
Very nice to see that machine run.
YUP!
Ahhhh the Pro cessor!!! Good Morning Woodhounds!!
Yes....PROcessor!
What a team…great job. Heck of a machine!
Thanks Juan
Beautiful sight to see! You got into the groove again quick, after not running the processor for so long. Truckloads will get done in no time now! Awesome to see with Keith's dad in the skid loader it works smooth!
Yup, Keith is a smooth operator!
What a Machine, it make quick work of even the odd shapes and sizes of the logs. Very Nice!!
Thanks Mr. Stick!
OMG, Chris! What a machine 👍🏼. I would love one of those. I only proceeded a trailer load today for myself and that took long enough. Australian hardwood is hard lol and I’m not getting any younger, my friend.
The mind says, "TALLY HO!" The body says, "BUGGER OFF OLD MAN!" Am not there yet, but my body has given me those signs.
Yup, firewood is a lot of work!
Adam, Bert, Chris, Gavin and Keith. Very nice movie. The work flow was like watching a well choreographed ballet with out the tutu's.
Headsets in the budget, after you recover from the HD hit.
The processor is a BEAST.
Chris, congratulations it took a lot of work and planning to get back to the processor stage. A very rewarding experience and feeling
You should have seen the smile on Gavins face when I told him he could run the processor. Sure made his day.
@bert brei He was a natural. Great job dad. I bet he is still smiling. Wait until he asks to bring the processor to school for show and tell.
@Ann Marie Kowalski Ill tell him to have his teacher pull up the video. That would be easier.
@Ann Marie Kowalski , I hope they sell tickets if they wear tutus in the woodyard! I want a front row seat to that show!
That was awesome to see you guys working together!
A good teamwork makes a big difference!
Good video guys, fast recovery for Bert’s dad !

Looks like a beautiful day to be in the firewood business, great work guys , thanks for another great video!!
EVERY day is a good day in the wood yard!
@@InTheWoodyard yes it is!!
Awesome video!!
Thanks Tim!
Good morning Chris!!😀😀
Looked like everyone was a little rusty at first when running it. That tree service wood is quite a bit harder to run than wood cut with a tree harvester.
I really miss being able to come up and work with you guys and run the processor. Hopefully I might be able to this summer.
Take care my friends!!😀😀💚💚

@@jakebredthauer5100 Long haul covid. A bunch of heart and lung damage.
Hopefully this summer you can come to play with us running it. Hope you get better soon.
Hope you can make it to Chris's new woodyard to show those guys how a pro runs hydraulic controls!
Yup, I needed a little time to get used to the 57 lever functions again! That nasty crooked crotchy tree service wood is a challenge for sure!
Fantastic machine!
We agree!
Awesome work, Chris! 💪💪
I only did a little work everyone else did way more than me, I just pointed a lot!! Haaa!

hi there good machine for you , i ran 2 different ones just didn't fit here , to much prep . . have fun john
Thanks for watching John!
It’s a smooth process when you have a straight piece. Need to put a basket under the cookie discharge.
Yup, processors like good straight wood! A basket would be to high, bit we will figure something out for it when the weather is good.
Well done fellas. Lots of operators got some "seat time" today. Sure helps to have a crew. GNI
Yup, it is a hoot to see some one TRY the first time, it is way harder than it looks! Lots to do all at once!
This processor : ❤
Thanks!
Looks like prior experience as a church organist would help with all those levers to operate! Amazing machine......and pretty decent operator! ;-)
Yes, there is a lot to do while in the hot seat!
At least it’s split and starting to season. You can resplit into the conveyor and trailer when the ground is dry.
Yup, that is the plan!
man thats fast!!!! i was afraid you had forgotten how to run this processor,but no,you still got it!!!
More time in the seat and with good wood we can go a lot faster yet.
You've got a good pile of wood there and I figured. It was because of the response that you're proud of there. I never thought too much about the mud. But yeah that's a good idea to keep it clean you're in production mode now
Yup, the concrete is a great work place!
Chris that 22MB is a beast! The mousing is crew us on patrol.
The cats are afraid of the loud machines. Yes it does get it done!
It's a perfect day for running running the processor. You have the A team running today!!! I sure hope Bert has a lot of empty totes!! You guys are kicking ass and taking names today. Great video Chris. Wooo🪵👍
They are all full now. Going to need to get some more or nail some pallets together and make a box to put some in.
Got a good laugh when Chris was up by Kenny with his A-team. Then Kenny said, "My A-team is old and crippled." Kenny cracks me up. What he said is funny but true. Doing the hard work of making firewood is what keeps them healthy.

Yup, she is a real screamer! Yup, a mark for the end cut is a good idea, the end of the log clamp is 16" so that does help a bunch.
Definitely a lot of wood best part is your not all wore out. Bad thing is all the resplitting. Keep up the good work.
Very true!
If re-splits are the biggest concern ,
He has this firewood tiger by the tail
2 hour video, LETS GO!!!
Yup, lots more to come!
Awesome job guys, love that eastonmade prawcessor 😉

Nice machine Chris fortunately I'll just keep plugging with my little Craftsman 27 ton log splitter been running my firewood business since I was 15 on 64 now retired ironworker I guess sometimes he just get lucky
Making money with basic equipment is great...keep cuttin'!
It’s Alive!!!
Yes, she sure is!!

Good video. If you had one more guy you could grab those big splits before they hit the conveyor and re-split on the Ultra. Re-splitting on the processor was time consuming. Thanks for the content.
Yes, that might work but it would take more than one person, the wood comes fast! About 1/2 of it will be resplit.
Great video, processor is nice for perfect wood but if you have to take the time now to resplit that's a pain in the butt. You guys are wood splitting machines keep up the good work.
Yup, firewood processors like/want/need good wood!
Nice to see Bert's dad got get out of the house!!!

Yes, processors like good wood!
I got my fix for about a week now.............good nite Irene!!!!!
Lots more good stuff to come!
Like riding a bike, you still got it!
I know it is just seat time and it gets easier each time.
I noticed Bert smiling while operating the Eastonmade!
Most people smile at first or maybe it is complete utter terror!!! It is a total sensory overload!
Looks like everyone is getting into the action it’s good to see. And Chris you might consider oiling the chains they squeak just a thought .keep on cutting
Maybe so.
Awesome video you guys definitely make a good crew. I love watching the videos and applying what I learn to improve my Woodyard and try to build up
Good night Irene Good morning Irene,just like night and day. So Chris one of your Over 1000 videos you said your Brother has you try his Husqvarna. Well I purchased the 4?? Rancher. Cuts so much faster, better than Poland Pro. We hauled in 8 dump trailer loads of logs, free logs to get our fire wood inventory started. PS we did not take your advice on only buying when you have the cash. Well ok we did pay for not finance our Brute force 20-24 splitter. Picked it up Wednesday. We are cutting rounds first ( like you said do one think complete then the next) . I was on vacation from day job but will this weekend "Run that splitter" before going back to day job🤮.
Maybe we should visit you and do a split off.
Just make as much firewood as fast as you can, you will need way more than you think!
Looking forward to see your new delivery of logs. Will that be tomorrow?
Yes I think so!

Chris you were making a cut every 10 seconds or less. Very productive.
We can go faster with good wood.
Great video Mr. Chris. I see some resplitting in the near future.
Most definitely!
your keeping your loader on his toes keeping your rack loaded!!!
Yup, with good wood you can really go fast!
At $154,000, you are blessed sir.
Just the interest at 9% on a business loan in year one is about $13.5k. The principle on a 10 yr note is $10k for year one. You can't efficiently run without a second person, that's $40,000 per year which is under $20/hour. Add in the cost of the loading tractor and you're in another $8k per year. Maintenance and fuel, where maintenance is much higher through life of machine and can be factored in for year 1, another $10k. $80,000 per year to run. Then you have the management of a person, them quitting, their vacations, sick time, etc. You can't run that much wood and not have a delivery person because then you wouldn't be paying off the machine... Did I mention you are blessed?
You sound like a very pessimistic accountant. I know of several firewood businesses that have between 2 and 5 processors that run every day all day and sell and deliver 2-3 semi truck loads of firewood EVERY day. One of them has more that 20 anther that has 30 and the biggest I know has 60 employees, so it can be done. I do understand there are money and time costs to run a business I have run my own businesses for over 30 years now and I agree...it is not easy and it does not happen overnight.
no more hitting the floor with the saw and less back ache now and what is the power of the ram
I will still use my saws again! A lot!
Yeah, well, I wasn't wrong...Crew serviced weapon! Great weather, good company, demonstrable outcome at the end of it. This, Mr Chris, is what I believe true happiness looks like...👍🪓💪🇦🇺
Yes it was a good time!
Timber! I have fallen and I can't get up... The 22mb is actually running ;)
Yup, lots more to come!
That wood sounds so crunchy
Yes it sure does!
Wow, the splitter on that thing is "the irresistible force". NOTHING stops it. The crooked wood can really slow things down! Just wondering, is there a control lockout to keep things from accidentally moving when you're up out of the seat, like when you have to manually re-orient a piece in the splitting chamber? I was getting nervous that you might bump a control lever while doing that and cause yourself a problem... but maybe it's not an issue.
Looking at all the wood you ran through the machine that day, how long do you think it would have taken doing it the old fashioned way?
Some functions can only be run when the others are not, and some you could mess up if you had more hands. I think it is 3-4 times faster and more productive.
