Having multiple bodies to move stuff around makes an enormous difference. And yours is the only operation I've ever seen that had a nice bucking table, which I've always thought would be a great idea.

No talking, just a great workflow, love it! Amazing setup!

PERFECT. Your son did a great job hustling around to keep everything running smoothly. Everyone is doing a great job!

As close to a firewood processor as you can get without the big bucks. My hats off to them.

That young man is a hell of a worker. I need a young hand like him

Love the bar that pushes the unsplit round back into the splitter.

Love the bucking table, love the feed table to the splitter. Getting everything up off the ground will save the lower back for sure. Love your whole operation

That is the best overall setup I have seen for cutting and splitting wood.

With the right attitude in the men you move through each station and use different muscles, and get a good day without wearing out one guy with the worst job, or having some boredom or carelessness creep in. I really appreciate this operation. Looks safe, cooperative, and highly productive.

Great Job! Just getting work done, it really shows how much you can get done with a good crew.

Great set up and team work. Many hands makes light work.

What a bodacious way to spend a crisp, fall afternoon! I can smell the leaves and a fire burning somewhere!

Awesome setup, that splitter is interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Man, that bucking table is great! What a back saver that must be. Great job and operation all around.

superb set up,shows whats possible with some truly great ideas to reduce handling and save a lot of the back strain !!!!👍

Great system and teamwork!

That is an awesome group, making a lot of firewood in a hurry.

Nice consistent pieces and a whole lotta kindling ready to bundle...... amazing what can happen when 4-5 guys work together...

One of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. Well done ! 👏🏼

Now that,s what I calls team work. Lots wood been processed. Great stuff.

wow what an excellent production line ! two thumbs up !

Dan, love your new setup. 😃

Nice work looks like a good process

Wow nice set up guys!!

Good to see a great collective working together and a very impressive set up. I work on my own processing wood, I use a 360 excavator with a cone spitter and a rotating wood grapple. We heat our 2 houses and our large barn on biomass.

Love your set up!!

That saw table is gold!!

Great job thank you keep up the good work love your videos

Great setup at their wood yard! 500i was going good, i could tell it was getting dull, then you sharpened it! That kid was hustling! Nice productive day!

Hell yea nice setup!!!🔥

now thats how you cut firewood! awesome set up guys

that's definitely what you call production!! I wish I had a set-up and crew like that to bang out a bunch of my firewood! stay safe my friend

Thats the best length marker I've seen yet great setup guys

Nice work flow and pile of splits.. the 500i was working great too

Nice splitter, I like the drawer idea on the retrieval .like an extra hand.nice ash.

Good lord! What a set-up.

Oh wow, great processing technique.

That's quite the cone of firewood you guys produces. Skidder Kev would approve.

Smooth and efficient. Great camaraderie.

What a cool set up! Also I have never seen anyone sharpen a chain like that. I love your videos!!👍👍

Thanks for the watch. For U-tubers selling firewood there are a lot of things in this video they should pay attention to. Like the rake back bar at splitter. Galvanized conveyor. A real back saver operation. Thanks for posting this video.

Nice setup!

What a setup!

Y gotta be proud of that youg boy working like a man reminds me of when i was young the boys got a bright future ahead of him

Sweet setup for sure. I like it. Maybe drill a few holes in the wooden dividers front to back to stick a short piece of pipe or something in to keep the log from rolling towards you. Then pull the stub of pipe out to load up more.

Nice bucking idea. You guys kick ash!

I would like to see a video of the conveyer like you did for the bucking table. Nice set up!

Is that your next wood yard , Dan? Another great video Dan. That was a great operation 👍. And a big pile of wood to make a lot of deliveries

This is a very good idea 👏

That has to be the best setup I have ever seen. AWESOME!

That’s how it’s done fellas!!💯😀🇺🇸

Great video

Nice setup! Maybe put the feedtable for the splitter on an angle, moves the bucked wood easier.

Next thing you know you will have half a million viewers....or more.....Congrats...The Cabin probably couldn't hold them all..

Sweet, now you need one final step, a circular jig on a pallett at the end of the belt, where you stack the incoming logs, pull a metal band around it and store under a roof for seasoning. Great operation.

Nice set up, I think maybe adding stops to the edge of the cutting table could help. Looked like the splitter was the bottleneck in the operation the 500i was pumping out rounds too fast! I keep a stiff floor scrubbing brush handy to help clean dirt of the logs before cutting, maybe a power broom would have been needed for some of those logs. Great video, definitely gave me a few more things to think about when setting up my yard.

Got me some ideas now! My B2601 Kubota and grapple got some work to do!

That's the way to do it! Four men working together in complete unspoken harmony, every man knows his job and gets on with it, no stress and minimum human effort letting the IC powered machines do the hard work. Mesmerising to watch. Do you move the operation under cover in bad weather? or just put your feet up over winter?

If the loading bed tilted, it could feed the splitter. Nice set up

Quite a system there! I need a couple more people!

Nice work men 🍺

You need a cutting deck like that, pallet deck is a great idea 💡.

That looks about like nearly enough wood for a winter ☺️

My house is warm enough just by watching this video

hi there pretty good system and good crew

With the ergonomics of this cutting table one could use the biggest baddest chainsaw made. But looks like the 500i easily keeps up with the splitter

Daddy says you guys cane come here to work any time. You can have all the bread and water you can handle..Mommy’s homemade bread and butter is worth it.

Very productive set up without buying a 100k processor

Awesome set up. I have to ask, do you have a set of blueprints for the bucking table? I would absolutely love to build one. I can’t seem to find the other video you had of it where you showed a full walk around of the table.

Seems like the "log jam" is at the splitting station. It seems to only split smaller stuff in 1 go. Nice setup! Love the magnetic measuring stick attached to the saw! Was trying to think of a way to do this just last week. Is this homemade?

The key here is the manpower , if everybody is on song you gonna get some serious work done in a few hours.

thats some nice ash wood there ! That shute is longer than a hard winter

Awesome. I may have to build one of those tables. I have a sawmill I could cut all of the timbers on. It's the bending over that kills my back.

Nice! 🙂

Ok, I watched you cut and split firewood! I even gave you a thumbs up for your effort. If you want me to continue to watch you boys split wood, make me believe it is worth the effort!

I fought the log and the log one. But you did great!

Size piles I make now hand tossed equipment makes it look easy,

Is a Power feed table next? What you have here, is basically what I’ll be putting together this spring, but with a much cheaper splitter…. Nice job!

Good job guys it’s team work what do you do with all the splitters of would it really look like a lot ?

Space boards on bucking table to correct length to illuminate measuring rounds to length.

Nice set up to do big logs that can't be put thru a processor, make it as easy as possible.

Impressive setup. I would suggest bolting down a 2x4 3-4" long closest to you on each of your 4x4s to help keep logs from rolling while cutting. It would help on at least half the logs and help insure one never fell off on your foot!

Ty

Neat bucking table. Dan,I was thinking awhile back that you done a video at someone's place that had a table similar to this one only hydraulic. Either one is a back saver.

What I was MOST impressed with was the magnet measuring stick that he would put on the the bar to mark the cuts. I thought "What a simple device, yet look what it gets you!"

Do you use a loader to transfer the ‘wood mound’?

No getting around it, firewood is labor intensive. Nice set up you have going on there.

What is that measuring tool stuck to the bar of ur saw where can I get one from

What do you with the short pieces that are left over from cutting the logs?

what type of chain sharpner are you using

Perfect example at 1:08 on why you should have the butt to the wedge. You can see the wedge opening up the grain of the round. The grain runs bigger which slows the splitter into the 2nd stage of the pump. This forces the wedge to slice the round instead of splitting it. If the round was the opposite way around the grain would run down and it would stay in fast single stage. This would also reduce the amount of splitter trash/ slash being made. I have a processor with 4 and 6 way wedges as we as a 36" stroke splitter with a 4 way adjustable wedge. The drop in speed is very obvious on 32" long rounds that has the small end to the wedge. Butt to the wedge will speed up your splitting by quite a bit over the course of a day. Nice bucking table.

The sorter made of pipes at minute 6. Does that table have a name? I need one of those. thanks

Sweet.....

Wow!👍🏻

There is a machine in Latham Ohio that drives around the woods to a selected tree. It cuts the tree, strips it, cuts firewood to length, splits it, and puts it in a trailer. All without the operator leaving his seat.

What is the spacing on those 4x4 crossbeams?

Well said🎃

You can see the slowest part of the operation is the splitting. 2 of those splitters would be killer.

That is one helluva system for cutting firewood. I would have wanted the wood dropping into a dump trailer, but other than that, very cool!

Thanks a lot. Now my back is screaming for me to make one of those tables lol I am curious why you still take the time to mark them instead of just spacing the 4x4's at your desired length?
