I would prefer this over a chainsaw version probably buck up like 10 cords of wood or more before needing a sharpening. That think is a beast should have a metal panel or maybe just a good rubber mat for sawdust deflection. Very Cool
You can manually stop the saw while returning, or we could possibly make a stop to keep it from going all the way up on smaller logs. For larger logs it needs to return all the way up.
This was the first machine of this type. New machines have a sawdust chute & a sliding plexiglass door that keeps sawdust off the operator & the control panel.
@@bruteforceusa9671 Wow, quick reply. You guys are working late tonight. I would pull this video and put the new one on just so people don't get the wrong impression. Speaking of impressions, what is your opinion of Japa firewood processors. Made in Finland. Not big on their "perfect split system".
@@Bushguyrocks We have a new video that should be on youtube later this week. Not too familiar with the Japa, but I'm assuming they're similar to other Scandinavian processors that are really fast in small straight wood, but seem to struggle with large or crooked wood. Not sure if they have a powered version or if they're all pto driven.
@@bruteforceusa9671 Your assessment seems about right. I think they would have a tough time with the 16" to 20" Douglas Fir we typically use around here in my part of British Columbia.
It's only design failure is the lack of a bin for the sawdust expelled.......and perhaps also the operator reaching too close to the descending blade.....?
I'm not sure I like those big round blades. It would take more power just lifting them up all the time. I suppose they would be ruined if you tried to cut iron with them. I suppose one needs to sharpen them. I don't know if that is difficult or not. I suspect they are not as energy efficient because they do not cut as well. The ones that are supported on both sides and go straight up and down are probably better. They would certainly save on expensive chain oil. I heard that they do better on logs that have dirt and gravel, than the chainsaws do. I have noticed the circular blades are only on the big processors. I don't know if it is easy for someone to abuse those blades by putting a twist on them. I suppose a small processor is more efficient on small wood than a large processor would be.
Wanted to see the next piece coming in when they stopped the video

Have customers with a hundreds of hours and no carbide replacement.
can you set the blade to NOT retract so high to shorten the down stroke and increase cutting speed?

Sawdust all over the control panel and getting into the controls. May want to correct that little problem.

What size powerplant hp.and hydraulic pump gpm?
Price point for this beast as shown?
That sawdust deflector isn't doing jack.
How can I look up prices etc available machinery no website

Where is this made?
Made in Northern Wisconsin.
