Not all about speed. Your setup is super efficient. The amount of split wood you are producing by yourself with minimal effort is super cost effective and savings. Very well done sir.
I like to think so! Thanks
@@oakfarmfirewood Barnegat N.J U.S.A I have an Eastonmade 22-28 and a Japa 365 Pro with a 471 Live Deck.
Nice setup! Well done 💪🏼
Greetings from Ohio USA. Very entertaining video! As a self-employed person who works by himself, I'm downright jealous of how efficient your setup is and how productive just one person could be. Subscribed!
Hi Tim, thanks! Welcome to the channel
New subscriber. I live in Western Kentucky in the United States. I’ve watched a lot of firewood processing videos but I’ve never seen a processor like this one before. It seems to be very efficient and it doesn’t require someone standing there pulling levers for hours which frees you up to do other things. One man can operate this machine and produce tons of firewood everyday. Personally I enjoy watching people process firewood on some of the other machines but this machine is very interesting to watch also.
Awesome to see a one man factory operation. Very efficient.
Cheers
Nice seeing a truly automated wood processor so many have to be baby sat and run by hand. You can go fill the log deck change totes and other things while this machine is working.
You couldn't have started this video in a better way. Beautiful dog you have
Melbourne Australia, Amazing set up you have, great how calm you are running this set up, I would be running around stressed 😬quality is not cheap, I hope this can pay for itself
Glad you enjoyed it, slowly it should yes
why would you be stressed? (except on the first day you operate it) but once you know a machine it becomes familiar no matter what it is... This is how captains of supertankers or operators of mammoth cranes do their job... experience.
Ontario Canada, we use a very manually operated Black Creek firewood processor, it was great to watch an automated set up
These really are a game changer but I’ve seen the size of the timber you get out there 🤯
I'm also from Ontario and although I liked the set up I was also noticing the size would be a limiting factor here.
Nice to see where the logs you supply us come from Archie!
Great thanks!
I'm from greater Manchester UK , 1st time watcher and subscribed as I found your work very interesting for a 1 man band, keep up the good work buddy.
Welcome aboard!

And, not so bothered about the HD or whatever, I like your content - you're chatty and pleasant, and doing something that interests me. Thanks again!
Thanks John
Nice video and what a setup and machine,you can’t beat a wood burner and brilliant in Scotland.
Sure can’t. Thanks
Hey there! Really super impressed with your set up over there! I watch firewood videos everyday and follow a lot of the main firewood channels in the US and Canada. This video came up as a suggestion that I may like.. an I definitely liked it.. an subscribed 🔥💯👍. Thanks for having us over to see the operation in action, very interesting compared to what we typically have over here in North America. You have an awesome set up a facility there! Plan to check out more of the channel! Cheers! Andrew from central NB, Canada :)
That is a great piece of machine😃 Interesting to see it in action. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, welcome
Nice operation and equipment, bet it smells pretty good in there with all the cut wood.
Yes I don’t really smell it anymore but the softwood kindling is lovely! Thanks
I'm in the USA in Wisconsin, I've been on the CZcams channel In the wood yard, a good video, you're equipment excellent, to see run.
Nice! Thanks for watching I do watch in the woodyard also 👍🏼
@oakfarmfirewood glad to hear you watch In The Woodyard. I have the luxury of it being in my back yard and get to play with the fun toys too.
Seems like a great machine with the clamp mechanism infront of the cut.

It’s been very reliable I must admit 👍🏼
Welcome thanks for watching
You’ve got a nice setup. I’m in Salem New Hampshire. This is the first of your videos I’ve seen keep up the good work.
Cheers thanks for watching
Awesome Machine and setup!!!! Dream operation there thats for sure ! Cheers from Northern Canada!
Thank you very much! Welcome
I am from Fairbanks Alaska, currently traveling through Utah USA. Thanks for the video. It is a very nice setup, and certainly seems it would be well worth the money, time and effort to buy and build it for your business. Good luck to you!
Awesome, thank you!
Really like your videos hope to see more, love to see what's on the second floor of the building. Greetings from Poland. Keep the great work!
Awesome, thank you!
Michigan have 60 Acer wood lot heat with seasoned oak, going on 45 years still looks like a full wood lot. We also deer hunt and pick mushrooms. cleaning the chimney on a regular more then once a year.
Nice! Well done sounds perfect
Enjoyed your video, you have a productive setup. Your machine is alittle different than the ones I watch in the US but looks like it produces very good. I’m watching your videos from Tennessee USA. Keep the the videos coming. Great job and thanks
Hi Archie, I just discovered your channel recently. It’s fantastic to see what you’re doing and to see a good UK based firewood channel. It’s Interesting to see how your setup works. It blows me away to see how much volume you are able to produce. I have just started my own small firewood sales business in Scotland and have found inspiration in your videos. Keep up the good work.
Cheers
Welcome aboard!
What a great one man setup you have there. I’m in NY USA. People here are starting to fire up there wood stoves and outdoor boilers.
Right on
I'm in Iowa, my friend and I'm pretty impressed about that automated woodcutter.

Best demonstration of a successful machine minding job and a well thought out machine 👍
Thanks
Wisconsin, USA. You own "the future of firewood machine"!
Welcome! Thank you it’s definitely the future!
Hello from New Hampshire USA. Love your efficiency.
That’s what i am aiming for
Watching from the Sate of Arizona. Great video, first time watching.

Really like your videos👍🏻👍🏻
Great setup. Watching from Central coast California
Awesome! Thank you!
Let the machines do what they do best, all you'd need to do is keep up on lubrication, bin swapping and general tidying around. I'm a fair bit envious but none the less, you've got a great setup. Only minor thing I'd do if possible, that wall where you have you catch baskets lined up. Open out that section,bout the baskets on a rail so you can just push a full one out and have a new empty basket take it's place. No need to stop, thread out with a forklift and bring in a new then restart everything.
But that would get into installing a new roll door, more concrete pad. And moving the storage from one side of the building to the other. Which may not be feasible or practical.
As for the off cut ends, with enough of those. Break them up and bag 'em up for sale at say... £6? A bag. The price would be the unknown since if you're selling a basket for probably £70, a bag of odds might be more or less than £10. All the sawdust can be bagged up and mixed with compost for gardens and flower beds. Get ways to wring every cent possible out of the logs.
That was an outstanding video. An amazing piece of kit. Nice set up. Logger and firewood producer from Massachusetts.
Firewood is big and burly here as we struggle to compensate for our inadequacies. 😂😂
What a great setup iam from new Zealand very good videos thanks 😊
Saint John NewBrunswick , Canada. Nice setup.
I enjoyed watching your process. Greetings from Minnesota.
Thanks for watching!
First time watching your video was relaxing enjoyable and I'm from Omaha Nebraska right in the middle of the United States
Awesome! Thank you!
Nice set-up Connecticut woodchopper I'm still old-fashioned at my little wood splitter in my chainsaw 65 in October still going strong I am building a small 4 ft wood processor to cut small stuff should be ready in a few weeks
Sounds interesting good luck 👍🏼
Greetings again Archie 👋 that factory sure is a super efficient process, only one day id like one myself vut a kiln build is first for me.

You can do it! Thanks
NZ here , inspirational blueprint setup there to follow , IBC's, forklift rotator ,setup in a shed , Kiln using the waste wood , and a dog to keep the seat warm !.
I spent 7 months in Nz working for Quigley contracting. Amazing place! Thanks for your kind words, I’m always learning
under 35 cm all you need is something like an evo 36 or a Regon R2 or R3 (cheap french unit). Or the holly grail of euro machines IMO the Kubik , I saw one for sale recently but they are rear to find . Over 45 cm you need Rex X from Australia .. Pricey 60cm capable X type machine for AU hardwoods or the relatively cheap NZ wampa chompa $75,000 NZD , or what I would do some sort of American box wedge wood splitter with a attached log table which will have a clamp and attached saw and conveyor belt running to the splitter . In a recent video challenge the Easton made splitter was running at 6 cords 30 CM an hour , feeding it as fast as humanly possible
@@oakfarmfirewood Nice Im about an hour south from there , near Pleasant Point ( named after the pub , it was a pleasant point to stop the stage coach back in the day)
I run a small fire wood and bundle business in the central valley of California, pretty tough out here as the State has no burn days, part.of the Air Pollution Board mandate. I expect there will be no burning at all before too long, I have been doing it for over 40 years, so I had a good run. Sure was interesting to see your operation, best I've seen yet. Keep up the good work.
Thanks, yes what a shame I should think London will become the same soon
Watching from Maine, Loved the show
Awesome! Thank you!
You have a very neat and efficient setup there. I love it! We are in western New York. We split with an Eastonmade 12-22 and cut everything with Stihl chainsaws.
Sounds great! Thanks
@@oakfarmfirewood do you have any videos of your kindling machine? I'd like to see that.
@@NeighborlyHomestead I do have a few but will do another video soon

Thank you very much!
Watching from Denver Colorado USA.
Nice! Thanks for watching
Hello for USA. Owensboro, Kentucky.
Great video
Hello there! Thanks
Very impressive! But I think you need a cage-tumbler stage between splitting and stacking to break up the blocks and to remove any surplus bark and splinters
Hello, Keith here from the High Plains of Northern Colorado, Greeley to be exact. That's a pretty Ricosuave setup you've got there...
As a side hustle, we run Stihl chainsaws, an Eastonmade 22-28 splitter, and their 24 foot conveyor. Take care!
Hi Keith, thank you. I like the look of the eastonmade machines they look well built like these fuelwood machines 💪🏼
New to your channel, I enjoy checking out European firewood equipment. Have a mix of a WolfeRidge splitter with log lift for big wood, BlockBuster 1520+ for mid size timber, and Japa 700 for
Nice sounds like you have it sorted
Several commenters balked at the investments you've made in this high production equipment, but your approach is full time volume, not to be compared to a guy, a pickup, and a chainsaw. Really, if you add up all the equipment; the processor, the kindling machine, the support equipment (forklift, mini-ex, delivery equipment, leasehold improvements, misc. including IBC totes), not including the real estate, I'd say well north of $.5mm. And that's what it takes to reach this level of automation and production.@@oakfarmfirewood
just found your channel...amazing! Sydney AU
Thanks welcome
Hi Archie Impressive machines Isle of Wight UK Thanks again Have a good week
Welcome thanks for watching 👍🏼
Awesome!...From Vancouver Island Canada
Thanks for watching!
great too see the mashine in action. I'm from Denmark. I have a Hakki Pilki 43pro, but am waiting to get my new 50pro. bigger logs makes a difference. I have my oven forest, so I must be able to handle logs from 10cm to 100cm in diameter.😊
I have a 43 pro and hate it so much re splitting work, what knife do you use?
I use the 12 Way fore the logs from 30-43 cm in diameter.
Fore my new 50pro i will reemake the 16way knife intoo a 20 way knife.
Sounds amazing! Thanks for watching
@@henrikkring434 hey Henrik. Be aware on the 16 Way knife for the 50 pro. I have one and the 16 Way have problems holding.
@@jesperandreasen162 Det sagde Anders fra ABM Stål også til mig, så han vil lave den om, så den kan holde.
Det er de nederste vinger på kniven der brækker af. Så han laver den om til en 20deller kniv i stedet. Det holder siger han.
That’s one hell of a set up
Thank you
South Carolina. That's a cool machine. America!
Thanks welcome!
That is a cool operation even according to California standards of cool.
😂 thanks

Thanks!
Love the setup. Im in the USA in Eastern upstate New York about 120 miles from Canadain border. Running a multitec 2040 for a processor.
Sounds nice! Thanks for watching
Thanks nice setup, watching from Ohio USA.
Thank you! Thanks for watching
I'm from Quakertown, Pennsylvania, USA. is the length of the split wood adjustable to 16, 18, 20 or 24 inches? also there is no waste in firewood, its all burnable, you just have to repackage the smaller bits to fit the market's needs, that includes charcoal and kindling.
Are you not loosing lots of production by filling all 3 ibc then moving them? How about filling the end 2 then while you move them fill the one by the wall just while taking the other two Away? Ok when its full you will need to stop or use a pallet truck to pull it out and replace with empty. When you have two stack and take away. Or if you have space take from the end with forklift. But love the set up. Would love to build one lorry mounted to replace my current mobile unit.
Yes I do tend to fill up the end one if I have a driver but I was on my own this day

Nice shop, nice dog, from Skåne (Scania) Sweden
Just an idea don’t know if it would be efficient but maybe you could press the saw dust into pellets. Anyways probs for handling everything so cool and calm while explaining everything. :)
Hi, yes have always wanted to do this however I typically cut green(wet) timber so all the sawdust is wet. To compress the sawdust it needs to be dry (under 15%) or the water will turn into steam when put under pressure and basically destroy the briquette.
That being said yes there are sawdust driers but they are very expensive along with the expensive briquette machine the numbers don’t add up for me👍🏼
I now have a number of customers that buy sawdust in its raw form for animal bedding.
South Yorkshire. Nice machine set up
Thanks 👍
I'd like to see some other content on the splitter and how it performs when the in-feed conveyor is not always kept full. And some overall content on running smaller logs. Do you have a lower limit for logs going into the machine? If so, how do you process the small logs?
It can process down to 8” logs but you can process 8” logs faster on a smaller processor. I’m currently putting the smaller stuff aside and I’ll buy a smaller processor for that stuff at a later date, I’ll show you some smaller stuff and more splitting action 👍🏼
Pretty slick setup. Virginia, USA here.
Thanks, welcome
Nice efficient setup you have there, I would like to have a setup like this. Oh, Milwaukee, WI USA Here.
Home of victory style! Welcome
Like the new machine (from Newcastle upon Tyne)👍
Cheers, thanks for watching
Connecticut here, amazing setup. Are your machines able to produce wood at 16” length? I’d love to see a machine like this in the US
No this machine is made in the uk so has been built to do shorter logs, it can do up to 13” though
@@oakfarmfirewood I always wonder why the yanks make such huge chunks of firewood ( guess bigger is better is their national motto) When i first saw your video, before I realized you were not american, but british, my first thought was: 'oh how nice, finally somebody who makes firewood in a size that suits me'
😂 yes only plus side to producing smaller wood is it dries faster
Watching out of Nassau county long island / new york and man do you have an awesome set up!
