I've split 5 cords through it so far. Does what I need it to. kzfaq.infoUgkxUyQswtttSffRMblGbrhCvZn7JkhtG1-7 I scrounge all my firewood and am not equipped to handle big wood, but for logs up to 24 inch diameter or so, it works great. I've been amazed by some of the gnarly bur oak and elm crotches it has split. For the tougher stuff within it's size range, you might have to study the piece a bit to decide the best attack, but if you split smart it's up to the job. It did arrive low on oil, and I was would have nicked it half a star for that, but it has regained my full confidence. UPDATE NOVEMBER 2021: Still going strong after all these years. I love the one-handed operation. Hope it's still in production if I ever need to replace it

Stan, today is a great day I got a A+ on my math quiz, a A+ on my science quiz, had bbq shrimp for dinner, went to my teachers baby shower, he and his wife are expecting a little baby girl, so i chipped in, gave 20 dollars and some baby clothing, and on top of all of this, i get to sit down and relax, and watch your videos, that is what in call a day. And yesterday i cleaned my moms car and did maintenance on my Ego self propelled lawn mower,weed whip, and leaf blower, swapped the blade out for a sharp one, and tested all the machines, all work well. I wish you a very nice night and i hope your mowing season is as good as mine will be, you never know here in NJ, one minute its cold and the next its warm. Well Stan, have. A great night, your pal Alexander costa, God bless and go get em😉👊🏼🙏🏼

I agree - I enjoy seeing what people built, how they build it, how the use it, how it helps their business, it is the way of the world. Thanks for the video.

That is awesome. What a back saver. Anyone who's used a log splitter should agree.

Very cool machinery. What men will invent to help them be more productive never ceases to impress.

Otr truck driver here. Love the videos. Breaks up my miles and miles of highway driving when I get a break. Thanks man.

LOVE the vid... whenever we go on vacation I always look for a local industry and try to get a plant tour. I'm weird like that. This was great. I feel like I had a vacation. And for what its worth, I was able to move forward on two projects around the house. It's been a good day! Thank Stan.

Stan, I have a Vermont Casting Defiant wood stove, 24 inch log long wood, 1 Jackson wheel barrel load a day, about every 5- 6 hours reload. Leave thermostat at 66 degrees, if temp falls below, furnace kicks on., heating a 7 room raised ranch, 6inch wall r38 ceiling attic insulation in Shelton, Ct.

That wood splitter is cool. Grandpa had a backhoe. My uncle built a wood splitter out of the outrigger. I can picture it but since I was young can't remember exactly how my uncle made it. Oh I so could of used a side by side to haul firewood in the house when I was young. Use to do it all by hand until I was old enough and used the plow truck to haul it in. Tried using the tractor but didn't do well in the snow pulling a trailer. Was just a Craftsman tractor with chains but no weights.

HiYa Stan! Today's vid was right up my alley, as I do firewood in Northern AZ. I'm researching building a "wood processor" (cuts and splits like today's video)... since we already have a few "splitters" (doesn't cut, just splits). Anyway, LOVED the video today- gives me more ideas. Stay Warm, GB&GG, Bud!

They don't build things like they use to! I agree that machine is worth the price of admission!

That's a sweet machine! Looks well built too!

I hope those guys patent that design and make some money. Great job, thanks Stan!

Thanks for showing that fire wood processer. Your getting older, maybe think about making some wood frames for your fire wood. Mine hold half a cord each. Light weight steel tubing frame with fork stirrups under the frame. So I take them right to the woods, cut/split the wood and stack it in the frames. Load them two wide and four deep on my trailer. Then unload them at the house and cover them with a tarp. When I need wood at the house I take a full frame, open a double door on my back porch, set the frame inside then shut the doors. One frame full will last ten days or so when its sub-zero weather. I only handle the wood by hand, when filling the frames and putting it into the stove. All the rest is done with a Wrangler loader with forks. Your mini loader would work too.

❤ The big rig was going down the road and the car pulled out in front of him. He had to make an emergency stop, the car drove away and the car going the same direction as you were stopped because they couldn't belive what just happened. 👍👍 I think.🤠

Good vibes to you, Stan. Stay warm.

Glad to see you finally got your LMN banner up on the wall!

Stanly I love your videos you make me learn everything everyday.

Orange winter crocs! Love it!

Love the randomness yet entertaining content of this video.

We have a company here that makes fire wood and he has a machine similar to this one. Never saw it close up though. Great video, thank you.

Worth the price of admission! Absolutely.

Stan - I like this length of vid. The 40+ ones are ok from time to time, but more of the 15-20 minute or so ones would be appreciated. And a really cool wood processing machine as well - 1500 cords a year...wow! Talk about a huge amount of firewood. Imagine back in the old day of cutting it all with a crosscut, then splitting by hand, hauling by horse drawn cart, and hand stacking. Glad to have gas power now.

I’ve got a long time family friend who has a homemade wood processing plant, it’s amazing what can be built and not bought.....

I do like watching your video's. Their good entertainment for me. You do a good job narrating and filming and stuff. I plow and all that too. I'm more house site excavation, septic and leach fields, land clearing, road building and commercial pipe laying in the city streets sometimes, than just landscaping like you specialize in. Although lately we been doing house lots from start to finish, with retaining walls for the walkout basements and garage unders and whatnot.

That log machine was awesome thanks Stan

Great design & build for a firewood processor, all in one package.

Great vidoe!!! Quite a impressive wood spilter.

Very cool log machine. It is amazing what people can invent out of need.

That wood processing machine was pretty dang cool. I like homemade equipment like that the thought process that goes into making something like that is amazing.

Another good one. Give Lucy a hug from me. 😊

Lol about the kid helping in Mocs At least he did help Keep up the good work making videos

That was awesome Stan !

Best Homemade splitter on youtube!! 4th time watching the video. I wish you could have gotten a closer look at the motor.

Wow that’s one why to do it and that’s one why of saying built not bought.Excellent work and thanks for the awesome content stay safe and take care. Hope you get better soon Stan and can’t wait to see what’s in store next

That's a spectacular piece of machinery.

Now that’s how you split some wood!

I wouldn't mind running that machine all day it seems to be satisfying

Stan I heat my house with a central outdoor wood boiler best thing I bought in 2006 it’s been great heats my house with between 5 to 10 pieces of wood a day. Still looks like you are fighting that cold feel better soon.

The challenges of having a home based business is keeping it organized to where the home still looks nice for a home And a lot of times I ask myself, “what does this look like to other people”. Does it look like a cluster flop or does it look nice. Most of the time it looks less than desirable At the end of a hard day at someone else’s project you don’t have the steam left for your own. Love the cabin Stan. Cool firewood processor !!! Thanks for another video. Andy

AMERICAN ingenuity at its best!!! You need get you one!! .... you can do it!

Nice video as usual Stan!! I loved that log splitter. Nice to see that those guys built their own machine instead of buying something made cheaply! Great video and God bless. 👍

Awesome build. I love stuff like this.

That DIY firewood processor was certainly well built and implements some unique features. I like the infeed deck for how the log is advance to cut the next block. Looks like they also took the grapple off a log truck and configured that to load logs onto the live deck.

That wood machine is so cool! I’m always amazed by the ingenuity and capability of people. Thanks for sharing!

I heated a 100 year old farm house with wood for over 30 years. I think I averaged about 10 heaped up pick up loads a year. I have a corn burner in place of the wood burning furnace now and it's just not as warm as wood heat, but a WHOLE lot easier on my back and I only have to load it once a day. Every time I leave the dog behind when I get out of the truck, he HAS to come over to my seat 😂 He doesn't protest too much being left behind, unless he sees someone else that he just HAS to say Hello to.

we make the big 1000 liter pallets for firewood and go thrugh 5 one winter i think. its birch to. nice vid!

Well seeing that homemade machine really made my jaw drop. It does make me wonder how much sketching and thinking went into it to build it and of course how many attempts to make it run right. I do bet that the first run they assembled it, they got a lot of bugs and kinks to work out as any homebuilt project.

That firewood processing machine is pretty neat! Seems high production, I can imagine how much they can produce in a day. That was interesting to see.

That log splitter was badass.

Pretty sweet homemade log splitter, 1 man show nice

What a great job ! Awesome build .

That wood splitter was so cool! Amazing !

sorry i'm late Stan! Happy Friday, i hope you have a great weekend and week to come!

3:48 Three logs not split. Needs set of splitter blades for smaller logs. Perhaps a "ladder" with multiple splitter blade patterns that could be raised or lowered depending upon log about to be processed?

And that’s about 2 days worth of wood for me maybe two days in that one load awesome video Stan you get 👍👍from me like always

Very interesting video, Stan. Great job and worth the cost of admission. LOL

I love those 4k driving shots.

I think you got a new subscriber in the wood processing dude.👍

That's a COOL machine! It reminds me of the DYNA SC-14 Firewood Processor. (No I didn't remember that name I had to look it up!) Another Chanel I watch is Cody over at Wranglerstar. about 3-4 years ago he Did a video on the DYNA SC-14. I thought it was really cool! Cody claimed he could cut, split, and stack 2 years worth of firewood in a single day.

That's freaking awesome love people who can just build these marvels them self to buy that kinda machine 100s of thousands of dollars

That's cool that they fabricated the machine that makes them money. Good work ethic.

Love the field trips! I like to see people that are crafty enough to make their own tools and machines!

We are Tree Service that also does land clearing and the reason we bring in our Bandit 3680 time it saves a lot of time to go to the next job but we also have cord King 60in circular blade process the bigger logs down into firewood but it's way cool seeing somebody that built all this by himself!

I like the video on his homemade log splitter awesome

So Funny this video popped up I’ve been looking into and watching videos the past couple weeks on building homemade wood processors I’ve been wanting to build one

At 1st I was like ... Dude, you need to slow down... you could get hurt!!

I recently uploaded a video of a homemade log splitter from a Datsun engine and scrap parts. Its not as industrious as this one, but the home made flavor is strong. It even starts with the original key. Red Green level invention.

I enjoy home made builds thanks for the content Looks like you are walking with a limp Take care of yourself

Mad Love for watching wood splitters 😂 Thanks Stan Stay warm 🙏

Great log splitter super cool

You never seen a firewood processor before? There's lots of manufacturers out there. Cord King is one of the best. You should see one of those work. Search it, awesome machine. I know a guy in my town that's got one. Their operation is allot bigger than me though. I know this one in the video is home made and that's cool. That's a good one, they did a good job. I built a high speed splitter set up years ago out of a old travel trailer frame and conveyor and stuff. Not a full blown processor but it splits with a multi wedge and fast cycle time while loading the truck and suiting my needs. I clear land and stuff for houses and fields and sell firewood. I also built a fully hydraulic band sawmill from scratch. That works good and is especially great now with the price of lumber. I never understood how you can make a profit buying all that new equipment. Must be a tight profit margin. I always bought my excavators, trucks and backhoes used and/or at auction and fixed them up myself for cheap money. Then built other equipment I needed from scratch in the shop during winter months when things are froze up. Then work it all hard during the summer. I'm in NH.

Now that was good ! Some thought went into the design,and run with one person is the key !

Stan gets out, Lucy gets in drivers seat. She's like if he doesn't return in 5 minutes, I'm out of here.

That wood would've lasted a day or two at our old farm house. That place was legit two houses stuck together though. The previous owner had bought the house across the road and moved it over, then stuck it to the backend of the original house.

Very impressive set up that he built wish I had that type of skill

That thing is mad cool!

Nice one Stan 👍👍👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Great video.

Wow, snazzy banner from LMN finally!

Loved the video Still waiting for my shoutout!!!!!!!! Lol Hey take your time though...I know how busy contractors like you are nowadays

Love your dog!!

That load about 2 weeks worth on a 4000sf home with a proper fire stove in the basement. And the Log splitter is cool.

I wish I had that machine when I was a kid and had to cut and split all the firewood every winter well all year round really

With that semi sitting in the middle of the road just talking to the suv I expected you to say, Forward Air with it’s bass ackwards thinking.... but no! Cool to see a company making a living like Besta is..

My family's moving business is called yerges moving and storage. Now everyone always asks how you pronounce it because they always say yer gees but he would say yer guess is as good as mine lol. Been in business since 1939 i am the fourth generation

Cool machine .Good video.

We started on our spring clean ups this week down here on Cape Cod

Good stuff Stan 👍

Interesting machine they have there for cutting fire wood, could use a couple of cords myself.

Don't forget to put that smoke alarm back up. 😉

love to see non corporate ingenuity and excellence . I might be watching too much Buckin' , .. that bar saw could use some hand filing . I think one positive of covid , has been bringing people together , which the world needs . for too long the wealthy have been dividing us with various distractions so that we can't take in what they have been doing to our world . you run a good crew Stan , and you guys are just like us northern neighbours . we care .

hi there another interesting and good show thanks john

That was a great piece of machinery some of the things we humans think of and come up with its mindblowing, What a great video love your content. 🚜

Love the machines!

My German shorthaired pointer ( inspiration for name and logo) rides shot gun as much as he can 💪🏻😂I thought I was the only one Also , that’s the coolest machine I’ve ever seen

Man I like you using the 360!

My old man used to be involved in the forestry industry here in the UK but I've not seen a fire wood processor quite like that. It looks like a Heath Robinson mix of several units, the in feed table looks like the fixed installation type he used to be involved with but sticking your arm out the cab window holding the logs like that is asking for trouble. A factory built unit wouldn't allow for that sort of access here what with health and safety.

That’s about 4-5 days of wood in Virginia, great videos keep them coming

Really liked this video, as I said in another comment, they just seam to be getting better.
