Well when I buy a used chainsaw I always inspect the saw and look for any signs of misuse and abuse. I check for build up of fine saw dust, any leaks, pull the muffler and inspect the piston and cylinder and do a compression test on it. I start up and run the saw and if none of these are allowed...

I respectfully disagree with your paint assessment. I have been cutting and selling firewood every week of the year for 14 years and know how to run a saw, better get that out of the way first. It all depends on what your cutting as to how long the paint lasts. I am lucky to get 10 cords of...

I have looked into it but I don't face any quarantines in my area. My kiln will reach the required temperature but was quoted over $15k to get certification which is way too much for me. If I had to certify I would get a kiln direct kiln because they come out and certify it when they install and...

Would you sell it lower for just the powerhead? Shipped to 89008?

If I could use support equipment I would get a multitek or bigger processor like those mentioned and crank up production but I can't. I cut on blm land and I can't use any equipment on the land period. I have to stick to roads and dry washes. That's why I am attempting to get the wood beaver 18...

Yes I cut in old burns and old chainings where I can split and deliver as it is already dry. I also have a kiln I built to dry wood. I cut green in the spring and split it up and deliver that in the fall. With 110 degree temperatures and humidity in the single digits it dries really fast. And...

Utah juniper has very thick hairy bark a couple inches thick. It jams up chain feeds really quick. Western juniper and Utah juniper are quite different. Western juniper is taller and straighter. The whole point of posting on here is to get opinions from people who have used the machines and...

The problem with that is it is an added cost and no improvement over what I am currently doing. The wood beaver has a hydraulic adjustable wedge if I need it. My customers don't like small splits. I split most stuff in half and big stuff gets quartered. The only time I split smaller is for...

Have Utah juniper here and they do get a little taller than that but not much. They do have a lot of a taper. Base at 18 inches 10 foot up it is 6 inches. It takes 15 to 20 trees to make a cord on average. The branches are the biggest pain but figure I could cut the branches for bundles and put...

I have seen both the blockbuster and cord king run on juniper and they don't work well at all. The chain constantly plugs up and won't feed. I don't know which processor you looked at. There is nothing manual on the wood beaver 18 bad a beaver. Its not a cheap machine like the blacks creek I...

I have tried many different splitters and found the wedge design is very important. The thinner axe wedges split a lot easier and don't tear up the wood as bad. The big maul wedges tear up the wood and need more power to produce as much as axe wedges. That's my experience

Delivering 2 days a week, Friday and Saturday when people are home is only 5 to 6 cords per day. I have very short drive time and only toss them over the fence on most of the deliveries. On the labor rate that is for the processor. 500 cords in 250 hours. That's only $3,750 a person in labor...

I have said multiple times I spend 2 days a week splitting and delivering. The processor saves me those 2 days a week. Yes I pay $7 for the permit but he kept saying my numbers don't add up because I am not adding in at least $90 a cord for logs when I do my own logging. I have spent 14 years...

Truck with rack holds a cord and a half. Truck bed trailer holds 1 cord. Cut half a cord per hour. Add 3 hours loading. 200 days of cutting equals 500 cords. Add in about an hour a day unloading and 45 minutes each way travel time. Less than 12 hours a day of working. Yes a processor will...

I do all of my own logging that is why $7 commercial permit is listed. Fall the trees, cut into rounds, load in truck, bring home and split up. No helpers and no buying stuff from middlemen. No helpers now do it all on my own. In addition to the cord wood I do bundles at $500 a cord, contracts...

Sorry supposed to be a comma in there. Full cords, face cords are illegal. Can only sell full cord, by the ton with certified scale or cubic foot and fraction thereof in bundles. It costs me $7 a cord for commercial permit. $30 in diesel for the truck that's cutting, hauling and delivering...

My prices are as high as the market here will allow. 90% + of the people here have multiple sources of heat and use the cheapest option. As low as fuel oil and propane is now if I raised my prices any more I would be out of business. Full cords face cords are illegal and get you a big fine...
