I mean I don't think it's him but the coppers don't appear to be in a chipper mood. :surprised3: :omg:

Geez, you're some hard on stuff. ;)

Working our way through the last bit of 1300 cu ft (8ft logs). Recycled a bin into a dumpster for easier clean up of bark and waste that comes from splitting. No more raking and shoveling at the end of the day. Well, maybe a little bit.

Scrounge some parts in the shop and there you go.

Old school cool.

Seems that valve is still in production. I heard back from the Brand company, they have lots of dealers .

My knowledge of hydraulics is very minimal. So if a fella was scrounging for one of these valve bank/manifold things, where would he look? It's part of a Wallenstein rotating grapple on a skidsteer attachment that I would like to occasionally put on a small excavator (CAT 302.5). The grapple...

Husq 372XP x-torq paired with a 24" bar. Block firewood with it every day.

Slow and steady wins the race. This time of the year it's usually 8am before the sun comes over the hill. Might be 0ºC but it's not long before the coat comes off.

What's this part called? Looks like the two bits from a 3point hitch? [Edit: I figured it out, they are called rose joints. I was talking to the guy whose built the one in the video. He was helpful in providing info and photos to build one.] There's a guy in the UK making machines for...

Nice set up you have there. Although I just don't see rollers working for the logs we get. Nor would the rollers last very long. Rarely are they straight, and a lot of the time they have knobs and limbs sticking off of them. It's why we sold the Hakki Pilki last year. Plus I don't have the...

I've thought of doing that too. Maybe once testing the concept is proven worthwhile I might update to something like that. That splitter is a 2 stage, 16 gpm, 3200 psi.

This is the gen and the winch I have here.

All interesting info guys. Thanks.

I have one of those honda capstan winches, they are no more quicker than the winch. At least the one I have, certainly has the torque required though.

I sorta figured the battery would drain quick, the bigger the log the bigger the draw. I've done a few improvements to that bench since that picture was taken. Added a thing to measure the pieces being cut. And changed the pivot thing for something better than a 6 inch strap hinge. The hinge...

I do. It never even entered my mind to think of using it. It's large though, 10,000W, we have for the house backup. Would a trickle charger be enough I wonder?

No, the wood pile is about 1,000 feet from the nearest outlet. Otherwise I'd already be at it :)

I built this fours years ago, mostly for cutting small diameter logs and slabs off of the sawmill. Now I want to toy with the idea of adding a 12V winch above the trough to pull logs in direct from the wood pile. Similar to the way that Wallenstein's mobile firewood processors use a winch to...
