The Neighbors

[Philip Wheelock]

Next door neighbor fabricates wood processors in his hydraulic equipment shop in town and brought the latest over to test on the woodpile. 65 hp diesel, two stage ram, .404 pitch chain on what looks to be a 36" or 42" bar.

Ask him how much? $$ I do 30 cords a year for personal use, but could easily find work for it in the 300 cord a year range if the price was right.

Kinda looks like a Bells machinery processor? Those are made in Canda though. What was the price tag on somehting like that? And a video would be pretty cool if its possiable

AS advertiser: Blockbuster Inc. - Firewood Processor, Log Splitter, Wood Cutter $17,500 and up. Double that with shipping.

Similar to the Bells or Blockbuster processors, but without some of the automated features and safety shields. The neighbor said improvements will be made to the design as more are fabricated. On this machine, a safety shield will be added between the saw and operator and the 2-stage ram controller will be modified before shipping. Not sure of the motor manufacturer, but it starts quickly and is a smooth runner.
