    biomass style splitter...anyone with 1st hand experience?

    hi all. So biomass style splitter. Such as abs. How does it work in real world firewood? Will the thing handle knotty oak? My buddy runs a tree co and drops a ton of ugly wood on me too big for my processor. My thought was to build a large, powerful auto return biomass splitter that just cycled...

    Anyone running a bell firewood processor?

    Hi all, Thinking of upgrading the wood processor, but ive come to the conclusion you should run, or see the one your looking to buy,run before you buy. Currently running a dyna sc-16. Its not a bad little processor. BUT, the saw opening is starting to drive me crazy. Basically, the log has to...

    A processor question and or challenage ?!?

    Look up the firewood factory youtube. Looks slicker then $hit. Joystick swaps from.processor.to.log.loader functions. Bet its pricey tho. And i have no idea of how well it works. Firewood processors are still a gadget at best. None are perfect. My dream is to build a processor on one of the...

    looking at firewood processors...nothing really tickles my fancy...what have you run?

    Wca, Ive done quite a bit of wood with the dyna. Ive done several cord for myself (owb feed, nothing picky split size or length...up to 30") Solo, setup,load,process Doing a 6x10 dumptrailer, about 1.5cords in hr and a half. Small wood slows u down, 1 cut= 1 piece, whereas biggee wood is 1 cut=4...

    Just cleaned/flushed my plate heat exchanger

    Rancher, i run those as well, but they wont help with limescale. Limescale will still build up on the plates coating them hindering performance. May not be affecting you yet, but its there. My system has had a rough life, i wont deny that, but no system is maintenance free.

    Equipment Purchase at Trade Show

    Sandhill, the best thing is the speed. With its splitter speed and ease of access, you could totally use it as a splitter. A assistant could totally be dropping in handcut blocks from the other side while u ran.

    Equipment Purchase at Trade Show

    Sandhill, I bought the dyna sc 16. Kubota 48hp diesel, 25" bar, 14' conveyor. Sweet little unit, 30 tons of splitting. Runs anything thru the 4 way, cant be a whisker on the 6 way or it will stop with oak. Cut some beautiful 18" maybe 20" oak, had the 6 way on from pine, was like let me.try it...

    Not sure what your looking at for a processor, but take your time and run what your looking at before u buy. The numbers on alot of these machines are pretty hyped up production wise. I got lucky, i had to go to maine, but i was able to try a dyna before i bought, the owner answered all...

    Just cleaned/flushed my plate heat exchanger

    Where are you out of cheif? Im in westerly. Dunns corners to be exact. Just picked up a dyna processor, so let me know if you fall behind on production. My buddy has the same problem with logs, he says its a waste of time to handle logs, so he calls me whenever hes close by and i scoop em up. My...

    Yes, they seemed to have addressed some issues, as far as build quality. And the only feedback i have is on the rapido jr.

    looking at firewood processors...nothing really tickles my fancy...what have you run?

    Kiwi, i used to think crd is where its at, but the more research i did the more i shyed away. Yes u can get into more machine for the money, but its built, not overbuilt. They use mild steel, not hardened, splitter box starts to peen over time, bearings fail. Fine if your handy, but what really...

    Matt, what are you realistically doing for.output? either cords per hr or.time.to do a cord? Really.bought it for the increased.log butt size, but i figure.more speed wont hurt

    looking at firewood processors...nothing really tickles my fancy...what have you run?

    Not sure why they dont run a chute. I ran a sc 14 last weekend, and the sawdust didnt seem to wander. Just goes straight out behind the saw in a loader bucket sized pile. Only issue with that is if i set it up under cover, cleanup issue. The 14 had 900 hrs on it and the only damage was a bent...
