If its straight and solid, it goes mostly for railroad ties unless it's high enough grade, then it goes for better lumber. That's for material 11 inches (28 cm) and above. Material from 11 inch down to 8" (20 cm) goes for pallet stock and some low grade lumber I believe. Anything smaller than 8", too crooked, or rotten goes to the paper mill. The paper mill only accepts pulpwood sizes up to 18" (46 cm) so anything rotten that is bigger than that gets cut out and left for wildlife habitat or if there's too much, it gets cut to length and usually gets used as firewood.
Hey i got couple questions about this tree cutting job. 1: How long do you work? 2: Is it boring? 3: Around how much trees do you cut? Yeah that’s all my questions
On this job I only put in about 8 hour days. I don't usually get bored because I am concentrating on being productive. As far as number of trees, it all depends. Anywhere from 150 to 6-700
Hi, I saw your comment on Janne Sappänen Could you talk to the camera? I am a farmer in Iowa and since getting FS16 on my phone I've wanted learn more about these machines but not many of the content creators speak English
Ah yes he's an excellent operator. Unfortunately I don't understand Finnish either. Its been several months since I've been in a harvester, I am currently helping my uncle with spring planting in Wisconsin. I think I'll likely be back in the processor in the late fall or early winter. Perhaps then I could make another video explaining the process. For now, I could answer a few questions you might have.
Amazing video
In what unit is the wood sold in the this country?
Janne Seppänen sells it in cubic meters
It is typically sold by the cord or ton here. A cord is 4 feet by 4 feet by 100 inches. There is typically 2.4 cubic meters in a cord
@@GreatLakesLogger Thank you, we heat our house with wood so I am familiar a cord.
You've done a great job answering my questions
where does red oak go. Paper or saw mill?

@@GreatLakesLogger are you self employed?
@@ruralconservative6625 No, I worked for my dad in the woods
@@GreatLakesLogger I have another question why is the crane arm made as part of the cab on the scorpion but on your machine the cab is fixed?
@@ruralconservative6625 Different machine model, different design.
