Crane, sorry it didn't work out for you.

Sandhill, have a jig with extra stones. Could you pm me, I'll make you a super deal.

Had a Sure-Trac. Powder coat lasted about 6 months before it started peeling off. Paint would come off in 2" pieces while driving on the interstate. After 2 years nothing but solid RUST. Called Sure-Trac after it first started happening, they said they would take care of it. Sent pictures, etc...

It's basswood for sure. Had a couple of those in my loads from Bob too.

Just picked up a 20ft. single chain cardinal aluminum conveyor $220. Came with electric motor, running gear and winch height adjustment. Just have to mount the motor and see how it works. I would like to build a new hopper, may convert to gas if it works out [no power at wood yard], or leave...

fireemt799 We have about 10 different split sorts. That's what I figured with the ss, that you have a lot better control over split sizes. Once your customers are used to something, its hard to change that. Right now using a single wedge, it's slow, but you have good control over split sizing.

The abs conveyors are very nice, saw them at the logging show. One of my first choices.

Sandhill, thanks for all the info and pictures on your conveyor! It seems like many brands of conveyors, as with splitters, or anything else have there little problems. Used conveyors around here are almost nonexistent. Definitely would be top drive hydraulic, radial stacking, raising could be...

My piles are approx. 7 ft high, about 10 ft wide and 75 ft long. Makes for good drying, especially oak. 2 10 ft wide piles, 10 ft space, repeat. try to turn the pile about June or so. skid loader with skeleton bucket. Also with the ss, don't have to worry about huge rounds, I bust them up with...

To me its just crazy how much these conveyors cost. The belt guys say belts are the best, and the chain guys say chains are the best. All I know is the guys with the ag conveyors hate them, and are always looking for a true firewood conveyor. Looking at a wood beaver belt conveyor, they're built...

sandhill, somewhat similar to what I do. I like the super splitter for consistent split sizes for various markets we service. about how many cord a year?, and what kind of conveyor do you have? Thanks for the pictures, they"re worth a thousand words!

Long time lurker here. Selling firewood part time. About 60% of what I do. Approx. 150 full cords per year. We have about 10 different sorts of wood,by split size and species. Most of the wood is pulp, tops, or mill rejects, crooked, etc. Buck with a chainsaw. Looking to replace my splitter. Not...

Good Luck Bob, Lucky it's sunny and warm with perfect conditions!

Thanks for the info and suggestions. We would be using the winch or puller to hopefully pull downed logs out of the brush for bucking, or pulling snagged tops down rather than trying to cut them out of other trees.

with 2 guys running 1 machine, they must be County Guys!

We are going to be cutting a storm damaged hardwood tract that is full of snapped tops and leaners. The biggest challenge will be it's all hand work. Owner wants "LOW IMPACT", nothing larger than ATV and TRAILER. 90% of the logs and all tops will be bucked into firewood in the woods. We will...

Looking for anyone that has a DR Power Wagon. Been thinking about getting one for the firewood yard. Might be easier than pushing the 2 wheel wheelbarrows through the snow. Just wondering if it would be worth it. Also, about how much firewood can you get, thrown or stacked on the flatbed? As...

There is no comparison! We were cutting cherry today. Had about 6 24" dia. logs on the bottom of the pile. The 441 had a dull chain from noodling yesterday, so I grabbed the 261.(about 20 tanks of fuel run through). My other guy told me to try his 260 pro that he brought along. I had just filed...

Just finished cutting about 2 cord of cherry. Trying to figure out if I should split it in bigger pieces for heating wood, or smaller pieces for fireplace (open) wood. The majority of wood we sell is fireplace wood, but we do sell quite a bit of heating wood. Thanks in advance for your input.

Thanks for all the input guys. It looks like I'll be buying the 261, with an 18" bar. Should be a great compliment to my 441, for firewood cutting. The old 025 has been a good saw, but it's seen it's better days. Thanks Again!
