Welcome back everyone. Dad and I are comparing the Hakki Pilke Raven 33 firewood processor against the tried and true manual sawbuck this morning. We are running a little equipment today as well including the Kubota B2601, Kranman timber trailer, Kioti ck35, Komatsu backhoe and of course, a Husqvarna chainsaw!

My father and I worked in the woods many years. I started with him when I was 12 and had my own saw when I was 14. A little Oregon with a manual oiler. Worse things I did was leave our operations, went to collage and spend 35 hateful years in a computer department. I lived 5 hours away from my parents but at least once a month I would come home and work with him. Later years it was just his own firewood. Dad die at 89 and still very fit doing his own firewood. Great memories for sure.

Your comment hit home for me. Isn’t it funny how society pushes us towards post secondary education and the corporate world when arguably the best work for us mentally and physically is manual? For me, it is a necessary evil. I use my day job to finance decent equipment so that I can do what I love after my first 40 hours. Thanks for watching!

Good day Jason! I have always called those saw horses. My dad use them to cut heating wood for our house when I was a child. I built a small one for the sake of having one and may look at different avenues with it. Cheers to you’re Dad for being out there and working with you that’s Awesome cheers my friends 👌🏻🔥🇨🇦

Definitely a time and a place for both tools that's for sure, Stepping around those crossed legs and all that stooping over would get the best Of me, after about 25 minutes.. I am 6 ft. 4 inches , Aa single downward leg would be essential and raised up a foot. I will never see one like that, I am sure.. 30 years ago , your set up would have been fine, but I am 66 now and showing some wear. Thanks for your time, effort, and patience in sharing your adventures with us.

Glad you enjoyed the video. Sounds like your saw buck would need to be a custom build!

I run a Japa 365 Firewood Processor and I also use a sawbuck for my short logs.

Hi Richard, there is a place for both. I'm going to have to build myself one of these saw bucks!

I've always used the old way until I got a saw gear for my tractor. I find the sawgear works great when off loading out of my truck

@OakMountainAcotts 9 ай бұрын

Hi there. Is a saw gear a rotary saw table driven by the PTO? They look pretty efficient. Thanks for watching!

@dailesperry8256 9 ай бұрын

Yep that's what it is and they work good I can put through 10 cord of wood in a day if I need to

I would like to see how the saw buck was built. If you did could someone let me know what episode number thanks in advance.

Hi Allan, we didn’t shoot a video on building the saw buck but we could do one! Thanks for watching.

Hi, For me usually working alone I would stay with the processor after loading all the slab wood on to the log deck. Ron USCG RET

@OakMountainAcotts 9 ай бұрын

I agree, if the slab wood has some size to it, it is easier for one person.

I hate processing my slash piles.... I have redwood piles that are 50% bark and the dust is so bad I have to use Optrel PAPR system with full hood, no more hacking coughing fits at night.

@OakMountainAcotts 9 ай бұрын

That sounds bad. We tried to sell a load of 8’ slab wood but no luck yet!

@jeremyjames1280 9 ай бұрын

If it doesnt sell right away, sticker it keep it dry and sit on it. I have 12 slabs from 10 years ago and every other year I sell one for top dollar. Just keep the bugs out of it anyway you can. @@OakMountainAcotts

😂 hard to watch you use a sawhorse when you have the ultimate bucking tool in the background the log loader is the way!!

@OakMountainAcotts 9 ай бұрын

I have used the log loader in the past to buck up oversized hardwood. It works really well. We also tried to use it on slab wood inside the dump trailer on one video. I ran the saw inside the trailer to buck it all up but the 16" slab wood and sawdust ended up being quite slippery! Thanks for watching, Jason.

@MrBuckAll 9 ай бұрын

@@OakMountainAcotts I use it all the time not in the trailer tho, I hold one grapple load in the air then once i have some rounds on the ground I put the logs onto the rounds so they dont touch the ground and cut on the pile, its very efficient!

You can lead a horse to water….. it is a work in progress. I was waiting for this comment though 👍

@noelstractors-firewood57 9 ай бұрын

I kinda like the old way. That works good. It would be good for doing logs on too. Maybe if the saw horse was a bit bigger, you could put 10” logs on. 3 logs so you could just keep cutting once started on the first log. 1,2,3, three round done. No time wasted measuring or moving to cut. A lot cheaper to get in to a system to cut what ever. Just my take on it. Have a great week guys, 🪵🪓🇨🇦👋🚜

Thanks Noel! It works pretty well. Especially for random length stuff that just needs to be cleaned up. Have a great week!
