All honestly, for a single man work force. Your system is spot on. You're working smarter than harder. First time watching your channel. Great things happen, I'm subscribed from here out
Looks like a well planned woodyard, also very clean and well taken care of. Was a long time since I saw something this good looking in firewood production. 😊👍
Great system! I'm in the process of setting up my log yard and it will have a lot of similarities to yours. Only difference might be that the splitter will be next to the bucking table so that I grab a round and just pivot to the splitter behind me without putting it down or lifting it. Otherwise, looks really efficient. My log yard suffers from moisture as well. Doesn't take much and it's a bog.
Awesome! Thank you! I’ve watched a number of your videos as well. It’s nice to see one of my videos finally getting a little traction in the Firewood community!
Fantastic setup you have there. You have a nice clean layout going on. I've had that idea in my head of building a bucking table, I'm just not sure how it would work in my situation as I get mostly tree service wood. Though I would love to bring in loads of nice straight logs. It really does make the process go a lot faster and way less waste wood is created.
Thanks, yes it would be tough with tree service wood. With tree service wood I prefer it get dumped on a good layer of wood chips, keeps it out of the mud until I can get it cut up
1. consider keeping the log rounds on a gravity feed table to your splitter vs throwing/stacking them on the ground and bending over to pick them up to feed the splitter. 2. throw/stack splits in a bulk transfer container (IBC/FACE CORD RACK/bag/etc) vs trailer if available.
I’m looking into a table of some sort so more to hopefully come on that. I have been using big bags but ran out and am ordering some more. Thanks for watching!
i did something similar but i like your set up better ,i moved my splitter closer and split wood right off cutting table this saves handling the wood so much
New subscriber here we are a RUclips channel from Pittsburgh PA we get into a little bit of everything on our channel but process a decent amount of firewood also !
@@birdmanoutdoors Totally understand that, just one less touch of the wood will speed the process and less labor. Maybe a slanted table where you can go from the cut table to the splitter without walking or bending over 🤷♂️
Hi - it's Big Rodders in Ireland. Would you not get better windflow through your bags shown at 2.10mins it you turned them round by 90 degrees. Also, a pair of 12 inch log tongs would save a lot of bending when stacking your bucked logs awaiting splitting.
Those bags are vented on all sides, but our wind typically comes out of the west, so the black sides face west and I try to space them out. I also like the black part facing me when I split so I can see in the bag better, but I understand your point. And I agree on the log tongs, I have those on my list of items to get. Thanks for watching!
@@birdmanoutdoors- Big Rodders again. That's most interesting - vented bags over here have 2 solid opposing sides, hence my comment. I've used Husqvarna tongs for years and they are invaluable as I suspect I would have been forced to retire by now if I hadn't discovered them.
I am not sure how it would work for your workflow, but you could possibly eliminate 1 step by placing the splitter behind the cutting table in such a way that the loglift just clears the table. Then you could lift the bucked logs directly from the table to the loglift of the splitter. To make it work you would have to be able to run the splitter from the side of the loglift and I don't know how well that would work. Anyway, I enjoyed this video and subbed to see future videos.
Thanks for watching. I’ve thought on that too, but I can’t really hold enough on the splitter Log lift, and then would either need to be starting and stopping the splitter all the time or leaving it run full time. Perhaps I’ll give it a go sometime when I readjust my setup next time.
@buckinfirewood yes I have, you have to heap it slightly but it fits. I think shaver equipment has a video out there where he does just that, he sells the bags as well
@@birdmanoutdoors yeah Shaver turned me onto them.. just wanted to inquire on selling.. think I'm going to stack then unstack into bag and find out if I need to charge for the bag or not.. the math says no .. bag has 52 cubic feet.. if this is true it would be easier to sell if people think they are not paying for the bag.. anyways we find out tomorrow... nice set up BTW
Yes the cutting table is very smart 😊

Yeah I might be giving that a try as well. Thanks for watching!
Good to see ya make a video again! I just finished up a load of wood from a logger up by you! And got a eastonmade ultra speed is an amazing thing!
Very nice. Those ultras are fast! I got my Wolfe ridge used here locally, couldn’t pass it up
I wish I had a log lift that's the biggest hang up I have but soon enough maybe I'll get one with a lift but I need other stuff before that!
@travisarndt2330 I’ve always struggled with what piece of equipment should be next in line, just keep at it and it’ll work itself out!
Dump trailer is the top of my current list that's for sure! It's a big necessity!
@travisarndt2330 I have one of those and I agree. It’s a must for deliveries, plus you never know when you’ll come across free wood

@@birdmanoutdoors thank you !
Nice setup, really like the bulk bags. Good alternative to IBC totes. Only change I would make is split right off the table
Yeah, I’m going to give it a try, I just think it’ll be too much starting and stopping of the splitter. But we’ll see! Thanks for watching

Like the comment below me😂
@@birdmanoutdoors Where do you get those bulk firewood bags
@goatstead814 I order them at a place called nnz or something like that. Shoot me an email at birdd123@gmail.com and I’ll pass on their contact info
Looks good, my wood bundler should be here in a week. New sub 🫡
That’s great, I picked up one earlier this year that I’ll have in a future video. What kind did you get? I got an Amish made wood wrapper

Just found you and subbed. Started my channel couple years ago. Look forward to following along. Merry xmas. Nebraska WoodSTR
Thanks! I’ve been watching your videos for a while now, keep it up! 👍
Do you know of any one out by you with a sawmill?
There is one just up the road from me but I don’t know them personally, that’s the only one that I really know of
How do you deliver the firewood in the bags?
Right now I just dump the bags out into my truck or trailer
Who made the splitter? Thanks.
It’s a Wolfe Ridge 22c, made in Eau Claire, WI. Current model would be the 28C
@@birdmanoutdoors thank you.
Is there a different price for the facecord bags then selling just a facecord?
If I load a bag on someone’s trailer I charge them a $20 refundable deposit on the bag
@@birdmanoutdoors have you measured a true facecord to see if the bag actually holds a facecord?

From my family to yours have a Merry Christmas. You have a really nice wood yard. What state are you in just curious.
Merry Christmas to you too! We’re in Green Bay, WI
Cool,the wolf Ridge rocks. I have one also great machines.
I did the same with a table and a saw buck. Alot easier.
I agree, thanks for watching!
