I once knew a logger that started making / selling firewood. After about 12 years of selling / delivering firewood.... as we were kicking back a couple cold ones, he said to me, "Well...... I finally make my first million dollars in firewood sales". I said, "Congratulations!!" Then he said, "The problem is....... I started with 3 million".
Hey Chris, I did watch the vid the day it came out, but just catching up on my comments. I enjoyed this one, the 200$ processor is awesome to have In The Woodyard! Nice that it was able to be powered off the power pack! Thanks for having us along for this one! Always enjoy dropping by everyday! See you soon! Andrew from NB :)
By using this new high tech electric firewood processor and e-bike your channel really increases its ESG score. This score is so important. It has done wonders for bud light and target and disney 😆😆
I’m finally getting my firewood processing center going. After all the vehicle and equipment set backs I’m a bit behind schedule but it’s coming together nicely now.
For bucking small logs & limbs, and even larger pruning, I use a Milwaukee "Hatchet", an electric saw designed to be operated with one hand. The M18 model has an 8" bar (M12 is 6"). Just hang the piece over the edge of a table or wagon, hold with one hand while cutting with the other, rinse, repeat.
That $200 processor is the real deal! I've converted an old electric golf cart to lithium batteries and added an inverter so it's my portable power station now. Great for going to remote areas of my property and having power there for various reasons. Now I'm going to have to build one of those fancy processors.
We had a antique belt driven circular saw( about 4 foot diameter) powered by a small farm tractor......cut wood 10 times faster and only needed sharpened once a year....about 10 cord of wood. Same tractor at the same time operated the 4 way splitter. Once did more than 6 cord in a day just 2 of us ....stacked in the barn......all during daylight hours and didnt miss breakfast lunch or dinner.
G’morning Fellers. That’s a sweet machine. She can really eat. You should rig up the 3120 and 48” and use the tractor to load rounds. HAAAA. GoodNightIrene
Works good for limb wood. I bought top handle saw that’s what it’s main use is for. There lot heat in limb wood. Lot more time. I do down 2 to 3 inches. If got drag the brush just well take it. Stay cool guys.
……As to the status of Bert’s underware?…..The Less One Knows the BETTER!!, or as Irene’s Uncle used to say “ He’s Freeee Ballin!, just freeeee ballin……..
I think with a buzz rig would be as good as the chainsaw but like you said power is power but with a buzz rig you can be portable .I got one with a 31 in blade I took the pulley of for the tractor and put a 6 in double pulley in the table and a 3 in one in a motor 8 to 10 hp and with that blade well sharpen and set you can move lots wood with 2 people .I am just saying I like them better you can make wonder with them buzz rigs table put wheels on a 10 hp motor what ever you like and works great ..Nice video .. the wood cutter from MI...
I’m not a safety Sam, by a long shot, but just want to tell you about a close call I had splitting wood with my splitter. Was reaching across to deal with some stuck wood in my 4 way splitter and the cylinder was on the retract stroke and all at once the piston push block came flying back out at about 4 to 5 times the speed at which it had been retracting. I somehow barely managed to avoid getting my rib cage or hands crushed. What had happened as far as I could tell was the nut unscrewed off the end of the shaft, the piston bottomed out and then the fluid pushed the shaft back out at high speed. Shit happens, I got lucky… and immediately I replaced the Chinese cylinder with a us made cylinder, and converted the splitter to a vertical splitter and now keep all body parts out of path of plunger. So just be advised of what can go wrong when using hydraulics.
Working in a lumber mill, hydraulic lines opened very heavy gates, hose blew, heavy gate slammed shut on the end of a 20' green 2x6. Think a ruler on the edge of a table, you smack the end. The other end slammed my head, coming up under my hard hat, catching me in the temple. Hydraulics do funny things when something goes wrong.
if you want to know how many watts that thing is going to pull you multiply the amps by the output voltage 120v x 8amps = ~960W will draw more depending on load and startup. also general rule for motor loads is to have an inverter able to do 3x "peak" wattage but often like what you see with your chainsaw you can get by with lower.
Do you keep a check on the bar oil of the electric saw? Is there a reason you set the switch location so close to the saw’s tip, rather than in the middle of the bar?
I guess it's a regional thing. I always thought it was called a white maple too. Just looked it up and sure enough it is a Silver maple. Though everything I find does say it is sometimes referred to as a White maple. So I am assuming it is just a local term. Love your content. I learn new things all the time. 😁
it would probably be easier on that electric motor if it was just held constantly running than rapid start and stops. larger motors are only rated for a number of starts in a period of time since the inrush current is 5x name plate you get a heat build up without any cooling air because it then stops right away. the trigger control sorta only makes sense with a gas engine just to save on fuel.
If you had a way to mount the cutting jig above the bins you'd save a lot of labor with not having to pick up the short limbs off the ground and throw them into the bins
lol i love free wood.....i get driftwood from the beach about a mile from my place.....sands a little hard on the chain but sharpening practice is a small price for free wood
I wonder if Andrew has an electric ULTRA in the works and I wonder how long a power pack would run it. My first log splitter was an electric Generac and it's small but powerful. I used it for a few months and. it split everything I threw at it that was a maybe 14-16" round. Only bad thing was it hit so hard whatever hand was using the lever got to be painful after about an hour so I put a longer , fatter lever and put pipe insulation over that and helped a ton.
never thought of something like that to cut up sticks! speaking of sticks juniors arms seem to be getting a bit more mass to em! Soon he will be out working you good sir.
@@jeanvaljohn3921 I wouldn’t say that. There’s plenty of workout with making firewood. I’ve turned my attention to being as efficient as possible. I’ve built a production station with roller conveyors to where my tractor does the lifting but it’s still physically demanding.
i dont think the manufacturer designed it for such high duty. dont complain if it dies fast! but the self sharpening blade and stone those is super nice!
surprising how much you can get done with a little electric saw. I bought 2 for cutting indoors, never stops raining here in the UK & the fumes off the husky made me ill so I cut indoors most of the time now.. Neighbours like the quieter saw too 🤣
I can see a TonysCoolTools review soon, it is after all Made in the USA. 👍🏻 Also, you could offer Bert 2 sticks of gum and fresh bottle of water and not that creek water Chris offers. 😂 Definitely a great idea and execution on Bert’s part. 👍🏻
There's a funny meme going around on facebook, and I wish I could upload it here, but it goes like this. An investigating police officer is interviewing a witness and says, "So you saw 5 people beat up a guy on an electric bike. Why didn't you help?" The witness replies, "I thought 5 was enough." I hope your friend gets a kick out of this. LOL
I Just started dying laagthing AS Bert Set down First time on the E-Bike Like a Lady on the Horse Love watching your Stuff for over a yeahr now (watched every Episode loaded up before also already ) Greetings from a German Forrester and arborist ☺️👌 keep IT Up you Guys started Something amazing with this new woodyard I would Love to Split some Wood with you when i Go to America next time ...would Love to tonsee this Operation in Person 🤣👌 But ibguess i would Bring my competion axes because i am also into Timbersports over Here ....little Splitting Contest me With My Axe aginst you and your awesome eastonmade Like 1 fc each and Timed ...i think i have at a small Chance ...Not a good one But at least a little one Awesome Video Hope your Brother is Up and Well and WE will See hin some time again All the best tonyou and everybody involved from over the Big Lake in Germany ✌🏻
To much info on Bert there. 🤭 Was thinking my electric wood splitter might work there. Set it on the table and hook it up. Don’t know if that power pack would run it or not. Be slick. My electric splitter is 1 3/4 hp and 15 amps. I believe. I didn’t go look at it. Neat processor. Works nice. Have a great day.
Given that video only give me a 2D perspective it looks like when Bert reaches over saw to support end of log the clearences appear very marginal, if this is correct I would stop any from supporting the end of log during bucking. However this was an enjoyable video especially when camera followered bike riders. Thanks Ray
I think this is a kool machine and do not care a witt about OSHA my concern was for the operator who tries to support the wood from both sides of the cut, Thanks for the answer I remain a fan and loyal subscriber Ray@@InTheWoodyard
$3000+ worth of wood processing equipment, (one small part of which you cobbled together for $200), all the infrastructure of an existing wood processing business and 3 people working for 2 hours, and someone gave me all the wood, and you made $360 worth of firewood?
It takes more energy to start and stop than it does to keep running steady, so imo that 1000 box could do it too! - How the heck do you apply Occam's Razor to this?
Cutting with a chainsaw is very inefficient. If you want to speed your operation up and save fuel and wood, then switch to using either a circular saw or a band saw.
I have been cutting fire wood and selling 200-300 cords a year for about 10- years and have cut firewood for over 54 years now, there are over 1200 videos on the channel you might want to see what else we do here, it was just a fun project for limb wood.
@@InTheWoodyard That's great, but my comment is more of a generalisation for anyone considering setting up or altering their own operation for firewood processing. I think it's perhaps a point worth making for anyone not that familiar with the industry.
6 dollars in gasoline for the splitter, 10 dollars in electricity for the processor (but what about the DEF). WHAT About it hehe , you have to take the electricity in to account that equipment costs money. Keep on cutting
I do know in a previous video it was attempted but it did not work due to the amount of power the conveyor needed. Not sure if that was the 1000 watt or the 1800 watt.
I once knew a logger that started making / selling firewood. After about 12 years of selling / delivering firewood.... as we were kicking back a couple cold ones, he said to me, "Well...... I finally make my first million dollars in firewood sales". I said, "Congratulations!!" Then he said, "The problem is....... I started with 3 million".
Ha! Good one!
There is some truth in this

That’s true Garny, but he is sorely lacking in his diversity hiring! 😂
The both of you 🤣🤣🤣
I do not give two farts about my ESGski SCORE! Power is power and I want to use it all to get stuff done.
I identify as different, I like to work, be productive and like to be left alone, does that count for anything? Do I get special treatment?
Guy seems to be doing ok. How many videos of you and your kids minding their own business and being productive have you uploaded.
I’m finally getting my firewood processing center going. After all the vehicle and equipment set backs I’m a bit behind schedule but it’s coming together nicely now.
Get after it!
Nice set up. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy the videos
Thanks for watching!
Some of the most beautiful White Maple I have ever personally seen!😮 Thanks for sharing...
Yup, it will burn like all the other wood....well.
Silver, White, Blue, or Purple Maple!!! It all burns!!!🔥 🔥
Good morning everyone like your new wood cutter nice have good day (ty Ron
It is actually old, it has been on before, but not much. Thanks!
Liked this video lot of different things going on keep up the good work and stay busy and well😊
Thanks so much!
Nice score on the tree!! Surprised Bert let you show that much of his patent pending processor!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day
It was made to be used and this was what it was intended for.
Yup, it is a cool machine!
Nice job Chris, Bert & Gavin
Thanks!
Leave it to Bert to build a very effective portable firewood bucking machine based off an electric chainsaw. Good job.
Thanks
Yup!
For bucking small logs & limbs, and even larger pruning, I use a Milwaukee "Hatchet", an electric saw designed to be operated with one hand. The M18 model has an 8" bar (M12 is 6"). Just hang the piece over the edge of a table or wagon, hold with one hand while cutting with the other, rinse, repeat.
That $200 processor is the real deal! I've converted an old electric golf cart to lithium batteries and added an inverter so it's my portable power station now.

Burt that was for you are you up for a challenge glad to see different ways for wood processors
Yup, it works great!
G’morning Fellers. That’s a sweet machine. She can really eat. You should rig up the 3120 and 48” and use the tractor to load rounds. HAAAA.
GoodNightIrene
I like the way you think!
I love the working mans ingenuity on this channel 👏
I appreciate that!
that is a neat little processor, I cut alot of branches. I hope I don't get in trouble but I think I am going to copy that ideal. great thank you
By all means do. It works great.
I plan on doing a more detailed video of it some time soon. People want to know ...how to!
I love maple. It dries faster than most other woods. And I use 95% of every tree I take down limb wood is good wood.
Yup, great stuff!
Gotta love a guy who will just stand there and talk to you while doing a job.
You mean like city or county road crew ? Yup, 4 guys one working!
Works good for limb wood. I bought top handle saw that’s what it’s main use is for. There lot heat in limb wood. Lot more time. I do down 2 to 3 inches. If got drag the brush just well take it. Stay cool guys.
YuP!!
Another great video Chris! Have you tried that 1800 solar pack on running the conveyor? Rather than running the generator?
As mentioned in several previous videos.
Yes they have tried it ,
No it won't run the elevator
Yes I have and no, not enough power.
Here I sit in the wood yard on one device and out of the wood yard on another device. Sheesh Chris your killing me lol
Thanks so much for watching, I appreciate it!
Is there a video of the build for bert's processor? Would be very interested in seeing it if so. Thanks great video Chris
No but I plan on doing a detailed video all about the specs sometime in the future! Thanks!
No it was made years ago for when I cut my limb wood for heat.
……As to the status of Bert’s underware?…..The Less One Knows the BETTER!!, or as Irene’s Uncle used to say “ He’s Freeee Ballin!, just freeeee ballin……..
Yup, my old friend Tom had a song about that.
I think with a buzz rig would be as good as the chainsaw but like you said power is power but with a buzz rig you can be portable .I got one with a 31 in blade I took the pulley of for the tractor and put a 6 in double pulley in the table and a 3 in one in a motor 8 to 10 hp and with that blade well sharpen and set you can move lots wood with 2 people .I am just saying I like them better you can make wonder with them buzz rigs table put wheels on a 10 hp motor what ever you like and works great ..Nice video .. the wood cutter
from MI...
Thanks for the input!
Free wood is always welcomed. I like your tee shirt
Yes! Thank you!
Dang that is a nice setup for doin limbs. Gotta ask though, how on earth do you empty those bins?
Yup...good question!!!!!!!!!
I need a limb wood processor, Chris can you show a few more close ups on a future video? Thanks in advance, have a great day Around the Yard!
Yes I can, I am planning on it soon.
I'm pretty sure the saw is lighter than logs, that is why you usually lift the saw, not the log
Yup, it was made for limb wood and we wanted to see how it would do on some bigger stuff too.
I’m not a safety Sam, by a long shot, but just want to tell you about a close call I had splitting wood with my splitter.
Was reaching across to deal with some stuck wood in my 4 way splitter and the cylinder was on the retract stroke and all at once the piston push block came flying back out at about 4 to 5 times the speed at which it had been retracting.

and immediately I replaced the Chinese cylinder with a us made cylinder, and converted the splitter to a vertical splitter and now keep all body parts out of path of plunger.
So just be advised of what can go wrong when using hydraulics.
Yup, stuff happens!
Working in a lumber mill, hydraulic lines opened very heavy gates, hose blew, heavy gate slammed shut on the end of a 20' green 2x6. Think a ruler on the edge of a table, you smack the end. The other end slammed my head, coming up under my hard hat, catching me in the temple. Hydraulics do funny things when something goes wrong.
Ok, where are the plans for building this processor? Ingenuity at its finest!
if you want to know how many watts that thing is going to pull you multiply the amps by the output voltage
120v x 8amps = ~960W will draw more depending on load and startup.
also general rule for motor loads is to have an inverter able to do 3x "peak" wattage but often like what you see with your chainsaw you can get by with lower.
Yup, more power!
Do you keep a check on the bar oil of the electric saw? Is there a reason you set the switch location so close to the saw’s tip, rather than in the middle of the bar?
Yes we do and I do not know, Bert made it and it is his saw.
The lengths you go to Chris to provide interesting shots is very impressive, like when you ran after Bert while he was riding the Beijing Bike!! 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
But being smart like he is my bet is the youngster is running
Could be, but the camera was awfully steady, looked like Chris’s work
Glad you enjoyed it!
Ha!!!
Maybe maybe not?? Haaa!
I guess it's a regional thing. I always thought it was called a white maple too. Just looked it up and sure enough it is a Silver maple. Though everything I find does say it is sometimes referred to as a White maple. So I am assuming it is just a local term. Love your content. I learn new things all the time. 😁
Thanks...me too!
It's a white poplar
Can’t wait to see a piece kick back, that would be interesting
It has not ever happened in several years of use.
I need a PDF for the plans of that 200.00 wood processing machine. That thing is sweet.
The plans are in Berts mind so that might be hard to get.
I would like to see the big processor filling totes
Maybe use totes to wall in your bins.
I did a video last winter with a Eastonmade 48c processor doing just that!
Neat idea on the limb processor !
Thanks!
As you are splitting and then tossing the wood, you remind of the guys at the pop can return store tossing the bottles to each bid. :)
YUP
What is the lead time on Bert’s processor? This I may be able to afford!🤣 Y’all worked up that white maple in no time! I love to work with it. 👍🏻👍🏻GNI
By all means build one there isnt much to it. Works great
Yup, it works great!
That's the hot setup!
Yup, it works!
Genius!!!
Thanks, it works!
it would probably be easier on that electric motor if it was just held constantly running than rapid start and stops. larger motors are only rated for a number of starts in a period of time since the inrush current is 5x name plate you get a heat build up without any cooling air because it then stops right away. the trigger control sorta only makes sense with a gas engine just to save on fuel.

If you had a way to mount the cutting jig above the bins you'd save a lot of labor with not having to pick up the short limbs off the ground and throw them into the bins
yup.
That's nice I diffently would not turn it down. Would really appreciate something like that.
Thanks for watching!
hi there well done john
Thanks!
I like Bert's tool very cool setup 😊
Tonys gonna be so jealous .....
Thanks.
Maybe so!
Yup!
Do you have a video showing how you made the firewood processor?
I have and 18" electric chainsaw that I could use to make one.
No, sorry we do not .Bert made it a long time ago but if you watch the video close you could probably figure it out. Thanks!
@@InTheWoodyard ok, thanks for the quick reply.
lol i love free wood.....i get driftwood from the beach about a mile from my place.....sands a little hard on the chain but sharpening practice is a small price for free wood
Nice stuff!
I wonder if Andrew has an electric ULTRA in the works and I wonder how long a power pack would run it. My first log splitter was an electric Generac and it's small but powerful. I used it for a few months and. it split everything I threw at it that was a maybe 14-16" round. Only bad thing was it hit so hard whatever hand was using the lever got to be painful after about an hour so I put a longer , fatter lever and put pipe insulation over that and helped a ton.
Yes, an 10Kw 3 phases electric engine. czcams.com/video/197KH68v17o/video.htmlsi=ktLmFFSBvpz0oYvQ
They have one already but they run on 3phase electric so it wont run on a battery pack.
Yes they already have an electric Ultra.
Had no idea lol
@@InTheWoodyard
Bungee cord. But it works great. Fully portable. Even the bike. Chainsaw buzz rig.
The bike is the WOODYARD service truck!
Best idea ever 👍👍
Thanks a lot 😊
I love your new firewood processor. Do you have a design for it yet? Let us know.
Its yay by yay and it works.
yup
No but I will do a more in depth video about it soon.
never thought of something like that to cut up sticks! speaking of sticks juniors arms seem to be getting a bit more mass to em! Soon he will be out working you good sir.
Yup, it works great!
good cheap saw, but what did they hydraulic setup cost?
I have had it for years now.
I like the idea. I would try to do something where the wood falls onto the table and not the ground. A lot of extra steps with picking it up.
But then the exercise aspect goes away
@@jeanvaljohn3921 I wouldn’t say that. There’s plenty of workout with making firewood. I’ve turned my attention to being as efficient as possible. I’ve built a production station with roller conveyors to where my tractor does the lifting but it’s still physically demanding.
Yup, if you have seen the other video a while ago with the $200 processor, we had it go directly into the elevator, that worked great too!
Yup, some.
We mostly use the tractor/skid steer/processor/elevator/dump trailer/bins so this is a nice change of pace.
What brand is that electric saw? Also do you have any "plans" as to how it's built? Thanks, enjoy your channel no end.
I will do another in depth video soon with the $200 processor and give the info in that video.
OK Thanks@@InTheWoodyard
Is there a video on how to build this or where do u get one
No. when it was built a video was not shot.... I plan on doing a video about it showing the measurements some day.
Anything with kittens in the ending gets a thumbs up ^.^
Thanks for watching!
Have you seen a mouse since spring ?
And did you get the racoon problem solved?
Evicted a few racoons and havent seen many mice lately the kittys are doing there job well.
Nope, I think so.
i dont think the manufacturer designed it for such high duty. dont complain if it dies fast! but the self sharpening blade and stone those is super nice!

thanks!
Morning wood is always good
All wood is good!
"Don't run with chainsaw"
"Doesn't say don't ride"
Okay!
Nice video. Filling up the free totes with free firewood & an almost free processor. Where there's a will, there's a way. GNI
Thanks Larry!
Is that a two man processor?
Nice score on the free wood.
Is it OSHA approved?👍TCT
I can see a TonysCoolTools review soon, it is after all Made in the USA. 👍🏻 Also, you could offer Bert 2 sticks of gum and fresh bottle of water and not that creek water Chris offers. 😂 Definitely a great idea and execution on Bert’s part. 👍🏻
The best stuff isnt OSHA approved. You should find a set of rotating forks for dumping totes. That we can do some videos with.
You would love it, fun to cut the limbs! It is on the OSHA to be approved list now! Maybe.
Yup, maybe a whole pack of gum!
I cut and burn 🔥 a lot of Lind wood for years,i cut wood down pretty small
Yup, all wood burns!
Do you have a video on how you made this processor?
Nope.
Burt the solution to my bottle neck set up an electric saw on a roller conveyor system
good idea!
Neato! Well Dun.
Thanks!
740 to 750 watts per horsepower so at 1.5 horse it's overloaded the power pack.
Yup, we got a bigger one now that will power it!
Woah, thats a deadly set up right there lol
It has been used for years and no deaths so far, not even a scratch!
@InTheWoodyard here on the reservations, deadly just means it looks cool, just slang haha
There's a funny meme going around on facebook, and I wish I could upload it here, but it goes like this.

Love watching your Stuff for over a yeahr now (watched every Episode loaded up before also already )
Greetings from a German Forrester and arborist ☺️👌 keep IT Up you Guys started Something amazing with this new woodyard
I would Love to Split some Wood with you when i Go to America next time ...would Love to tonsee this Operation in Person 🤣👌 But ibguess i would Bring my competion axes because i am also into Timbersports over Here ....little Splitting Contest me With My Axe aginst you and your awesome eastonmade

Some how I think that lifting that electric chainsaw is easyer then whole log over it :D
Maybe so, but this works great on the limb wood!
Kittens & free wood😀🇦🇺
Yup!
What’s the brand of the 1800 generator?
OUPES
more power
YUP
It takes more energy to start and stop than it does to keep running steady, so imo that 1000 box could do it too! - How the heck do you apply Occam's Razor to this?
But do power demands change as the cutting begins?
Does cutting require additional juice?
Yes but under load (when it is cutting takes more power yet) No, the T-1000 could not, we tried.
Yes and YES!
🤘
Thanks!!
Thats not to far off from red alder.
A way soft hardwood.
Dries fast but rots fast, without being under cover.
yup, it does that!
👍👍👍
Thanks!!!
Just shows what you can come up with and a little thinking
YuP!
Stay tuned for the next video which features an axe, clamped to a work stump and we hit the ax with full trees to cut them down.
That would be awesome!!! Thanks for the idea!
Cutting with a chainsaw is very inefficient. If you want to speed your operation up and save fuel and wood, then switch to using either a circular saw or a band saw.

@@InTheWoodyard That's great, but my comment is more of a generalisation for anyone considering setting up or altering their own operation for firewood processing. I think it's perhaps a point worth making for anyone not that familiar with the industry.
Were the totes all holding the same size wood ? Thnx…
I.i.u.c.
Totes are for boiler wood.
Fire/ fire place wood gets piled high for drying.
( whether Tyler is there or not)
No, we mixed it up and need to add some more yet!
It all will burn!
No doubt Chris.
So split wood was tossed into totes at random was what I was asking. Thnx…
Is the splitter cutting to 24-inch length?
No, 16"
@@InTheWoodyard I guess the small-diameter limb wood gives the impression of the rounds being longer than they are.
@@jakebredthauer5100 Agreed. I meant the $200 processor.
Commando fire wood. Premium wood. 😂
Yup, I like the name!
Good morning
Morning!!!
Use a extension Cord...
We have done that too before.
6 dollars in gasoline for the splitter, 10 dollars in electricity for the processor (but what about the DEF). WHAT About it hehe , you have to take the electricity in to account that equipment costs money. Keep on cutting
Not that much but yes some $$
Good Morning Woodhounds!!
Hello!
Will the solar generator run the elevator?
I do know in a previous video it was attempted but it did not work due to the amount of power the conveyor needed. Not sure if that was the 1000 watt or the 1800 watt.
Nope, not enough juice.
neither.
