so, i started looking at firewood processors the other day.
it NEEDS to be a live deck model. no homeowner type winch crap or a chomper.
I have excavators, loaders, skidsteers, loading it is no problem.
Id LIKE to have a integrated conveyor so its portable.
Primary use:
Campground pine firewood for sale
Family use, supplying 3 households with wood
possible side bussiness processing for friends.(layed off in the winter, so why not?)
so while SPLIT quaility or sizing isnt that important,
i want something that WORKS!!
i dont want to be reaching into the splitter box clearing jams all the time.
as long as a piece is cut, and falls into the splitter box and comes out, im happy, not too worried about size.
what have you guys run and what did you like/ dislike??
Im hearing alot about barsaw/ vs slasher wheel, and everyone i talk to say wheel hands down. hardly ever needs sharpening.
this is the direction i wanted to go, they just get pricey, FAST.
not looking to buy a homebuilt unit, Id either buy name brand, or build my own.
so looking at them all, id say the splitter box is the killer for most. seems this is the part to watch out for, as it either works or it dont.
why own a processor if your hand is still touching every other piece of wood?
