Lol I'd like to see him try elm or knoty oak.

Tested it out yesterday. Few improvements will be done shortly.

Thanks for the advice about derailing. Might weldup some guard if possible. On the wood processor it also has a metal grate to help remove debris, but still doesn't get all of them.

Nearly finished the wood elevator. Still on the lookout for a dual chain ear corn elevator but next to none around my area. Hopefully this unit lasts me until I come across one.

I question how much work gets done! :laugh::chainsaw:

That's a good idea. Could weld a few small nuts onto the pusher face.

Only happens with logs that are twisted. I know those aren't ideal but I have no problem feeding them through, other than when it comes to splitting.

Been doing about 1 cord per hour myself with no help. If I was processing soft wood I can see myself doing about 1.25-1.5 cords per hour. So far I have not had an issue with the logs dropping incorrectly into split chamber. And for the final portion of log on the deck it does a full 180° (into...

Sorry for the crapy lighting just got home from work.

Good to know thank you. I'll try to get some photos tomorrow of the unit. I stacked a few cords to run through it. Currently I'm just using my kubota with bale forks to load the live deck.

I sure will, before I do that the wood elevator will have to be finished... I'll take some photos soon as it comes along and get back to processing some wood. Shouldn't take long to get up and running. Already have a small hydrolic motor to drive the elevator. The other thing that would...

After a few days of running my "new to me" Cordking 1820, I believe made the right choice. I'm going to make a few improvements down the road, but so far have easily 3x production by myself. Slowly picking up tricks along the way. With hard oak 14"-16" can average 1 cord per hour. I can't...

I'm curious what type of netting/ firewood tote you use on the pallet? Looks like a good idea and awsome airflow for seasoning.

Cutting on a logs side sure does go quicker than cutting from the end down... but still its alot of extra work just for firewood. I would much rather put them through a saw mill. Obviously species of wood comes into play when deciding what's worth it.

Thoes logs could definitely use an 8 way split wedge for use in a woodstove or furnace. If he is using them in a boiler the large splits would be fine.

The goal is to not waste wood from clearing agricultural land. It's a shame seeing all of it pushed up and burned. If I wasn't clearing land at the same time it wouldn't be worth purchasing wood. So yes your correct on it being hard making a profit buying the wood from loggers. Ps. This isn't...

Thanks for taking the time to answer. You make a very good point. If 90% of our trees were smaller than 15 inches I would have saved myself probably 8k. The average log will be around 16" inchs but a machine limited to 16" inch logs would need it like a telephone pole straight. I thought long...

How many cords were you able to do per hour with your multitek?

Also just got off the phone with the cord king dealer. Must have sharp chain and you can't slow down near the end of the cut or else it will just twist and drop on end When you get to the last log cut turn the feed deck very slow and log will do a complete 180 landing perfectly into the v...

Yeah I noticed in that video to, watched it a week ago. I was told by a guy the machine works better keeping the tongue closer to the ground and never had a log land like that since. Alot of small tricks a guy learns along the way. I already got a nice spike I can use to reposition the logs if...
