The Multitek is fine machine.

It will keep an operator, and one other to: load, return large splits, run the dump truck to/fro, very busy. Bitter cold will prohibit bar lubrication.

Seems to be expensive for the ouput, but made in WI.

From the computer, it would make more sense to run a good splitter with adjustible 4way, conveyor, log lift, or a processor that has optional controls on the log loading side so one diligent person can operate it if desired. I use a Speeco at home, operate a full production machine at night, and feel something in between would be just right.

The machine I operate will be for sale in the near future, the owner has his sights set on a Timberwolf for some reason.

I don't know where you are in MN, but if you get bored some day, come on down and we'll run some logs through.

Ive never seen one run, but from my research, the cord king looks to be the best out there, durability and your running a big circular blade not a chainsaw. Wd chuck, if yours comes up for sale please pm me, I am maybe pretty interested in it. Before you buy one run the numbers of cost/return. I have the numbers written down, really close to real life, pm me if you want. You can make money, but its not as glorious as you imagine.

Thanks for your concise evaluations. Can you elaborate on them any?

TW good machines for the price- not huge, not incredible output, but well-made and reliable.

I've heard 2 guys complaining about Woodbine's poor design and lack of service.

You see a lot of relatively new Chompers for sale- wonder why?

Multitek and Cordking can't be beat for production, but $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$!

(Yeah, I've got a TW6 with 3000+ hours on it)
 
I have the Hakke Pilke 1x37 Easy Firewood Processor, pm me if you'd like to ask questions. I have put 60 cords through it with no issues. Just bought a log deck for it last week, can't wait to try in in the spring.

I'd post a link to their site, but I don't want to get in trouble.

Hmmm. Good question. I see a lot of relatively new Stihl chainsaw's for sale too. I wonder why?
The answer is probably similar to the reason you see a lot of band saw mill's for sale. People buy them with unreal expectations, or ilusions of grandure, and find out that they are just a lot of work for a little profit. The thing you have to remember about wood (in any form), is the less times you handle it, the less money you'll lose.:laugh:
If you want to produce a lot of firewood in a short time then the Cord King would be the answer. But be prepared to pay for it.
If you want to produce a decent amount of firewood in a decent amount of time, have the ultimate in portability, no sharpening, and low maintenance at a relatively reasonable price, then the Chomper is a good machine to concider.
If you go with a Cord King you'd better start thinking about a log truck, loader, and skidder to keep it fed.
