I guess just about anybody shows up out at the woodyard lol....maybe a woodyard dog is needed to keep strangers out hahahaha!! Good to get the rest processed to dry the summer and ready to sell this winter!! Stay safe my friend
When i cleaned up construction sites, the shingles got delivered on nice tight oak pallets. I had taken a bunch home lol So driving past neighborhoods being built at night can be a good source!
You should be the hard working man ( Chris ) nice rain jacket you were wearing. Get your brother ken on the EASTONMADE, or your tractor. Probably clean up all your firewood in a day . We got the big rain yesterday and wind with its .
Good morning Chris. If you opened the tailgate of the trailer when you are backing up empty to the conveyor you could get the wood further forward in the trailer. As it fills you pull the trailer forward and then close the tailgate. Just a thought.
Straight is great Pine is fine Gotta stay liquidated Hey, love your stacking techniques, awesome n&n trailer! Thanks for taking the time to make this video👍👍
I sell my firewood as limited edition. As in there is limited quantities I produce each year. It really has helped me sell a bit more. These crazy city people I sell to will buy anything with a fancy name 😂
Here where I live we go to the lumber store and get the tarps that the bundles of lumber comes wrapped in . We use them to cover the top of our wood piles to keep the rain off.
Great job Chris 👏 nice looking wood piles. You are getting a nice system going there. And not only that I'm sure your body thanks you as well. Great video.
G’morning Chris. Nice stack action. Nice day to work. I love the grippy palm gloves that come from Uline (work pays for them). Grade #2 pallets are $13 each at my work !! GoodNightIrene
Chris, try opening your trailer doors, back up under the conveyor to get first pile closer to the front of trailer. Close the doors when you pull the trailer forward.
Good morning Chris!!😀😀 Was nice to see you got that all respli and stacked in a short day. I always love working when it's overcast out. The day ticks by without you realizing how fast it went. Also you don't get baked by the sun. Keep up the great work my friend!! TTYL!!😀😀💚💚👍👍 Logger Al
When you sold your other trailer l thought to myself it would be nice to have two. I know money is a big factor. Stacking out of the trailer is so much easier. I'm using a flat bed car trailer to catch off the processor for now. Have a great day.
If you open the doors on the trailer before you back it in, you can push it further back towards the processor so that the wood stacks more forward in the trailer. Then when you pull it forward to fill the rear of the trailer, you close the doors.
Greetings Chris from S. E. Ohio. Great stacks. I have a chance to do my first live interview with a 22-28 Eastonmade splitter yesterday. Pulled into gas station and guy was at pump so I had to talk awhile. He has a 12 way wedge and he said he bout all the wedges but only one box wedge. Come to find out he only lives about 3 miles from me. He was going to help a buddy of his do some tornado clean up. Those those a lot more awesome standing next to one than seeing them on utube. Well enough rabbling. See you tomorrow have a great day
Chris those blue pallets are rented pallets and the people have to pay so much each month the party they rent them to lf you look closely each pallet has a identifing number on lt.
Got poured on last Saturday ehen trying to restock my roadside stand. Thought I had another hour per the prediction radar but got soaked. After the free shower, took another shower.
Hi Chris, great idea with your trailer. What, if you open the doors at the back, so you can drive a bit more backwards. When the trailer gets filled and you pull it forward you can close the trailer and fill it completely. Just an idea from faaaaaar away, BlackForest (Germany)
@@InTheWoodyard Great. You run a totally different system than I do over here. Really interesting to see. Enjoy it, over here it gets absolutely crazy due to the natural gas issue.
I split a good amount of birch in VT, it absorbs water more than any species I've dealt with. You've probably done it already, but getting the split birch off the ground ASAP will prevent you from having a pile of punky birch.
You’re getting, a good system going now. I take a truck load of rounds to the splitter, then split directly into my trailer and then use my Super C to take it to the pallets to stack right out of my dump trailer. Just as you’ve found out it’s more efficient and much easier on your back.
There's a screw up with wood deliveries over here (Bulgaria). They have changed the ordering method and if you are not on the list you can't get any wood. I ordered in April, paid for it 2 weeks ago, and I am still waiting for delivery. Something funny is going on here. 🤔
I was wondering how much you would have to re-split? That’s not too bad really! Looks like everything is working out real nice. Except for that trespasser who stole all your pallets 🤣👍🏻👍🏻GNI
I haul trailer loads of waste for incinerator daily if double stacked can have pick of up to 50 pallets on a load. I deal with mostly pharmaceutical waste so they can only use heat treated or plastic pallets only. Place at today has hundreds of icb totes they are crushing.
Very nice video Chris. I liked the Grey gloves that you were wearing when you were showing me how to use the splitter. The neon fingers let me know where your hands were located. Last Saturday I drove an hour one way to pick up twelve free pallets that were listed on Craigslist. The ad showed heavy duty one inch thick slats. When I got to the pick up site, the pallets were not what was listed in the ad. The 12 pallets looked like they fell off the back of a truck on the freeway and a semi rode over them. Then they guy started talking that he has a few numbers for the nuclear codes. I left. This Saturday I am picking up 12 new pallets that I am paying a few dollars for each. Free Pallets around here are hard to find.
Ann Marie check with your local department stores and talk to the managers and strike up a deal with then so they will save their discarded pallets offer them a buck apiece for 10 or 15 pallets!
OK I just might have to start a channel. Today would have made great content. I gave up on the 12 to pick up today. The guy wanted me to meet him, bring money and he will take me to his pallets. Would not give me an address or tell me what the pallets were used for. I do not need haz mat pallets. He wanted me to call back to confirm and he had a lot of questions about my truck. Anyway another Craigslist posting by the trucking terminals by the Airport. We head off and pick up four. Two doubles and two singles. Great find. We decided to check our DPW and then make a trip through our seven business industrial park. The DPW has pre approved us to take pallets. We find a stash and my husband takes a picture of the business so I can call on Monday. Head on out to the next place which we can see a stack from the road. The road looked like a cul de sac with a business on each side. Last time I inspected these two buildings, they were abandoned. I pull in to get the name of the business which is not on the building. I turn around and we slow down to get an address and some guy jumps our of a black smoked out pick up truck jumping infront of my truck. Bill tried to ask the guy if he was the owner and the guy yells I AM INCHARGE. I have a picture of you, your truck, and you stealing pallets. I said DO WHAT? He said you are a thief and you are a disgrace to your community. He stays at the passenger door and he is taunting my husband to get out of the truck and take a poke at him. I said my husband is 80 years old, spent 39 years one month and 17 days serving this country. Earning two purple hearts and a bronze star with a V for Valor and you want to fight him. This guy looked like one of the last remaining munchkins from the Wizard of Oz. He was like the Cowderly Lion, Come On Come On Put Um Up. I said OK, enough and I got out of the truck. Now I had to bend down to read the label on the front of his shirt. He said OH so you want to punch me,? He said he was going to call 911. I said now wait, do you really think that this is an emergency? Here call this number, it is non emergency and you can even use my phone. Well, I am only going to call the police tomorrow when our stuff is stolen. You are just casing the place. Yes. I said. We have night blindness and we do not drive at night. We only steal during the day. Plus I go to bed at seven. Meanwhile Bill is on the phone with the dispatcher. When he gets off the phone, Bill gets out of the truck. Bill is 6foot 4 inch and this huys head is at Bill's chest. The guy starts backing up heading to his truck. I said don't run away, police are coming. Four squads show up. We are with one cop. The other guy is with another cop and two are standing buy. Our cop says to the other cop. you deal with him. zi have dealt with him before. I said to our cop, the pallets came from a free ad and we picked them up by the truck terminals. We just were trying to find the name of the business so I could call Monday morning. Cop two comes over and he says thst the guy admits that the pallets ate not his and he did nor see us load the pallets. The picture he took of us entering shows the pallets already in our truck We were reassured that this would be a log entry only. as we were leaving I told the guy that I did not appreciate being called a thief and a disgrace to my community. He denied everything. The cops said OK enough and we went on our merry way. The first place is a HVAC company and brand new pallets are heaped by the dumpster. This will be more than enough for my project.
Here in this wide, brown "land of droughts and flooding rains...", there are 2 premium pallet types - blue CHEPs and red LOSCAMs. Difficult as all hell to get in mint condition (there's a whole tracking system around the red ones especially), but if a few ever fall off the back of a truck and into your woodyard, they'll outlast you....😁💪🪓🇦🇺
Makes me tired just watching you restock all of your wood, I sell all my firewood to my customers, green, my customers sit on there firewood until it drys...Selling around 175 to 200 full cords of firewood every spring, and summer I simply have no time to move and stack firewood all day. Love your new processor, maybe someday I will be able to get one. Blessings, Rodney
Yup, we have clay soil and if you leave it on the ground it will mold and not dry at all from about 2 feet from the ground. You are probably selling to heating people I sell 90% of my wood to fireplace people who want a fire today not in 6 months or next year.
Time for Andrew to send you a 12 way or 16 way. Little more mess but you shouldn’t have to resplit. If people are watching and had to resplit pieces after buying a 120k machine I would be pissed. Time for a bigger wedge
I'm wondering why you'd want a raincoat, your blue tights will stop a speeding blocket, should stop rain!! OR, .... the hyper speed friction should evap the rain before it fully lands on you!! You can load the front of your trailer by leaving the tailgate open and backing in further. When you pull forward, close the tailgate. - Always great to see what Tony's up to! A friend from school was nicknamed "Too Cool". See where I'm going with this? Ordinary humans with big clumsy feet (I've seen this by observing), would do better by leaving a little space between splitter and pile for their feet. Myself, ...I'm quick and nimble, just like you,... don't need room for my feet!
That's a nice wall of wood ! A few months of good drying weather this summer and you'll be delivering it. Are you ahead on inventory this year ? The processor helping ?
Nice video Chris. So when it comes to pallets, you are a "oak snob". I like your system of re-splitting and stacking directly from the trailer. Did I mention before how much I really like that N&N trailer? GNI
Chris I have to ask a few questions. Why do you split your wood so small?? I use to collect my own wood and split it. Going back to burning wood this coming winter. The amll splits burn so quickly it's almost like burning up matchsticks. I use to like burning wood about the size of the pieces you resplit about 5 to six inches in diameter. Another thing why do you throw away the debris?? That stuff is good for firestarter. When you load a cord, put a 5 gallon bucket of the debris in with it, then give the contents to the customer. Not the bucket just the contents. People always have a homer bucket or 2 around and they are happy that you'll give them something for nothing (and you would have discarded it anyway).
You are going to want to watch a lot more of my videos. 1- I sell all 200 full cords every year. 2- I want it to dry and sell as fast as possible 1 year or less. 3- I sell 95% of my wood to fireplace people NOT heating people, the do not want big wood. 4- If the lady of the house can't pick it up with one hand, it is to big. 5- Time, I do not have time to mess with scraps, I make money with fire wood not scraps.
Too bad you didn't still have your old rusty dump trailer so you could split two loads before stopping. I usually don't sell my old equipment, but that leads to another problem.
When I load my trailer off the convey the way you are doing I open the doors so I can get the conveyor up in the nose of the trailer you can get 3 or 4 feet closer to the nose of trailer be safe and good cutting
I bought a box of sterile latex nitrate gloves to wear under regular pigskin/rawhide/other gloves that keep moisture off my hands. It won't keep the regular ones dry but may work for you, too.
Here's a good one to comment on in a video. What rain gear do you use to keep dry so you can split and stack without the canopy? How do you keep your feet dry?
Is your wood storage area 1/4 full, 1/3 full, 1/2 full ? Will you need additional gravel before the snow starts flying ? And Are you planning another log shipment anytime soon ?
I don't understand why you dump the splitting scrap back in the thicket. That will fill up eventually. Why not make a burn pile and eliminate it that way.
I would be a damaging blow to my morale if I had to take it out of the trailer, split again, and then pick it up off the ground to put on the stack. There has got to be a solution utilizing a different wedge.
The stacks are now getting 20+ feet long and 7+ feet high, thus soon there will no longer be measured face cords available for "chuckin'". You seem to be measuring the loads for delivery by the pickup load full or trailer load full. My question is this ..... how relevant is a 16" length? Is say, 14" to 18" length close enough with the new stack sizes?
Because you are getting such clean debris from your current process, why not shovel it in a mesh bag and sell it as starter chunks. Shouldn’t be that much more effort and sell it for a half a face cord of wood if that helps ya think it’s worth the effort. Keep on keeping on!👍
you might wat to think about getting an external mike all the time lately when your talking i have to turn the volume all the way up then when you play music or run equipment its to loud i have to turn the volume back down
Do you really think you get more done with the proccessor vs the splitter and a chainsaw? I feel like all youre doing is creating more work for yourself with the cleanup
I haven't been able to keep up with all your videos lately, but I was curious if you find you get alot more debris using the processor compared to cutting and splitting?
Someone is going to need to get some more tarps organised if he keeps accumulating lots of wood. Obviously if you're going 7ft high you're either trying to stop running out of space or else working on not moving around as much. Going 1.5 times as high means you're in the same place longer.
21ftx4ftx7ft= 588/128= 4.6 cordsx2= 9.2cords, 27.5 facecords roughly . Alot of wood to some people but never enough to a firewood producer. Stacking from the trailer is best. Turn and stack no back bending hundreds of times for no reason
i heard you say : 5 dollars a gallon......... so i started calculating how that price compares to the price of fuel i have to pay in this miserable land called europe...... it translates to 11.46 USD per gallon.
On an IPhone I noticed if you turn phone horizontally it changes the audio. It’s better when the phone is vertical. When the phone is horizontal you lose the speaker phone speakers.
Chris , look up my buddy BJarne butler on U tube post today TLDW . THINK safety And put SAFETY FIRST see where my words came from Chris . Place for my old 95 ( 105cc)
Love the stacking days, thanks! -Brad
Good, lots more to come!!
I guess just about anybody shows up out at the woodyard lol....maybe a woodyard dog is needed to keep strangers out hahahaha!! Good to get the rest processed to dry the summer and ready to sell this winter!! Stay safe my friend
You got that right! Or an armed guard!
When i cleaned up construction sites, the shingles got delivered on nice tight oak pallets. I had taken a bunch home lol
So driving past neighborhoods being built at night can be a good source!
Yup mixing cement in bags and shingles come on great pallets!
"a bunch of wood". great job
Thanks!
Buzy Beaver today, The Bucket Guy has a great load of Pallets, Take Care and Relax a little!🚜🪵👍🏼🇺🇸
You got that right! Thanks!
Always look forward to these videos before work
Thanks for watching!
You should be the hard working man ( Chris ) nice rain jacket you were wearing. Get your brother ken on the EASTONMADE, or your tractor. Probably clean up all your firewood in a day . We got the big rain yesterday and wind with its .
Great idea, I have many weeks of work to do!
Chris open the trailer doors and you can get it closer to the conveyer then when you pull forward close them up.
yup!
Love how that wood stack wall looks! See you tomorrow Chris👍👍
Thanks me too!
My friend asked how much I make cutting firewood, I told him I'm making stacks
Ba dum bum
Yup!
Good morning Chris. If you opened the tailgate of the trailer when you are backing up empty to the conveyor you could get the wood further forward in the trailer. As it fills you pull the trailer forward and then close the tailgate. Just a thought.
Yup, will do!
Mike only shows when the blisters do
Ha! Yup, I know a few guys I call Blister!
Straight is great
Pine is fine
Gotta stay liquidated
Hey, love your stacking techniques, awesome n&n trailer!
Thanks for taking the time to make this video👍👍
Thanks for watching Fred!
I do solar, the pop up canopies make cold rain days a lot better
Yes they do!
Great video. Glad to see Tony with his score of pallets!! Think stacking out of trailer is the way to go!! Have a Safe Day
Yes and yes, thanks!
Great job Chris Looks great 👍 Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks!
Congrats Chris/ITW on getting the wood-cut and Stacked. lv the videos.
Thanks 👍
Chris looks like you are getting a new system working for you, best of luck. It has to work it’s in the script. Keep on cutting
Yup, thanks!
Straight is great! Tee-shirt coming soon... I'll take 2 for me and the wife.
HA!
Awesome job!
Thanks!
Great video. Love your work ethic. Work right through the rain!
It was time for my monthly shower!
I sell my firewood as limited edition. As in there is limited quantities I produce each year. It really has helped me sell a bit more. These crazy city people I sell to will buy anything with a fancy name 😂
Yup, good idea!
Piles are looking nice. Its always a good feeling to get it all piled up.
Thanks Mr. B B !
Here where I live we go to the lumber store and get the tarps that the bundles of lumber comes wrapped in . We use them to cover the top of our wood piles to keep the rain off.
Yup, good idea!
Great job Chris 👏 nice looking wood piles. You are getting a nice system going there. And not only that I'm sure your body thanks you as well. Great video.
Thanks Turk!
G’morning Chris. Nice stack action. Nice day to work. I love the grippy palm gloves that come from Uline (work pays for them). Grade #2 pallets are $13 each at my work !!
GoodNightIrene
Yup, they work well in the warm weather!
This video was great
Thanks great other Chris!
Chris, try opening your trailer doors, back up under the conveyor to get first pile closer to the front of trailer. Close the doors when you pull the trailer forward.
Good idea
Yup, will do!
Yup!
Good morning Chris!!😀😀
Was nice to see you got that all respli and stacked in a short day.
I always love working when it's overcast out. The day ticks by without you realizing how fast it went. Also you don't get baked by the sun.
Keep up the great work my friend!! TTYL!!😀😀💚💚👍👍
Logger Al
I like the shade, it is easier on my eyes and my skin and the amount of sweat!
Thanks Al!
wow chris that processor makes thing much faster
Yes it does!
Want to back the trailer a little father? Open the doors, then when you pull up to reposition close them. But you have already thought of that by now.
Yup, 1,957 people have suggested it! thanks!
When you sold your other trailer l thought to myself it would be nice to have two. I know money is a big factor. Stacking out of the trailer is so much easier. I'm using a flat bed car trailer to catch off the processor for now. Have a great day.
Might be a “Needs Work” dump trailer out there for cheap that would be good enough to cart wood from the processor to the stacks
Yup another one or two would be nice!
No trailers are cheap now!
If you open the doors on the trailer before you back it in, you can push it further back towards the processor so that the wood stacks more forward in the trailer. Then when you pull it forward to fill the rear of the trailer, you close the doors.
Yup! Thanks!

OK, thanks for the info!
Got poured on last Saturday ehen trying to restock my roadside stand. Thought I had another hour per the prediction radar but got soaked. After the free shower, took another shower.
Water is good for you!

Right on...Man!!!!
Ok time to get nosie is this faster I know I'm old but I just can't tell I hope it is I hope it's everything we all want it to be. God bless
Thanks for watching Charlie!
There's a screw up with wood deliveries over here (Bulgaria).
They have changed the ordering method and if you are not on the list you can't get any wood.
I ordered in April, paid for it 2 weeks ago, and I am still waiting for delivery.
Something funny is going on here. 🤔
Wow, not good!
I was wondering how much you would have to re-split? That’s not too bad really! Looks like everything is working out real nice. Except for that trespasser who stole all your pallets 🤣👍🏻👍🏻GNI
Yup, less al the time, the right sized wood is the key!
I haul trailer loads of waste for incinerator daily if double stacked can have pick of up to 50 pallets on a load. I deal with mostly pharmaceutical waste so they can only use heat treated or plastic pallets only. Place at today has hundreds of icb totes they are crushing.

Then they guy started talking that he has a few numbers for the nuclear codes. I left.
This Saturday I am picking up 12 new pallets that I am paying a few dollars for each. Free Pallets around here are hard to find.
Why are women so obsessed with wanting to know where my han...I mean, where your hands are???
Check Craigs list every day, you will find some.
Ann Marie check with your local department stores and talk to the managers and strike up a deal with then so they will save their discarded pallets offer them a buck apiece for 10 or 15 pallets!
OK I just might have to start a channel. Today would have made great content.
I gave up on the 12 to pick up today. The guy wanted me to meet him, bring money and he will take me to his pallets. Would not give me an address or tell me what the pallets were used for. I do not need haz mat pallets. He wanted me to call back to confirm and he had a lot of questions about my truck.
Anyway another Craigslist posting by the trucking terminals by the Airport. We head off and pick up four. Two doubles and two singles.
Great find. We decided to check our DPW and then make a trip through our seven business industrial park. The DPW has pre approved us to take pallets.
We find a stash and my husband takes a picture of the business so I can call on Monday.
Head on out to the next place which we can see a stack from the road. The road looked like a cul de sac with a business on each side. Last time I inspected these two buildings, they were abandoned. I pull in to get the name of the business which is not on the building. I turn around and we slow down to get an address and some guy jumps our of a black smoked out pick up truck jumping infront of my truck.
Bill tried to ask the guy if he was the owner and the guy yells I AM INCHARGE. I have a picture of you, your truck, and you stealing pallets.
I said DO WHAT? He said you are a thief and you are a disgrace to your community.
He stays at the passenger door and he is taunting my husband to get out of the truck and take a poke at him.
I said my husband is 80 years old, spent 39 years one month and 17 days serving this country. Earning two purple hearts and a bronze star with a V for Valor and you want to fight him.
This guy looked like one of the last remaining munchkins from the Wizard of Oz. He was like the Cowderly Lion, Come On Come On Put Um Up.
I said OK, enough and I got out of the truck. Now I had to bend down to read the label on the front of his shirt.
He said OH so you want to punch me,? He said he was going to call 911.
I said now wait, do you really think that this is an emergency? Here call this number, it is non emergency and you can even use my phone.
Well, I am only going to call the police tomorrow when our stuff is stolen. You are just casing the place.
Yes. I said. We have night blindness and we do not drive at night. We only steal during the day. Plus I go to bed at seven.
Meanwhile Bill is on the phone with the dispatcher. When he gets off the phone, Bill gets out of the truck.
Bill is 6foot 4 inch and this huys head is at Bill's chest.
The guy starts backing up heading to his truck. I said don't run away, police are coming.
Four squads show up. We are with one cop. The other guy is with another cop and two are standing buy. Our cop says to the other cop. you deal with him. zi have dealt with him before.
I said to our cop, the pallets came from a free ad and we picked them up by the truck terminals.
We just were trying to find the name of the business so I could call Monday morning.
Cop two comes over and he says thst the guy admits that the pallets ate not his and he did nor see us load the pallets.
The picture he took of us entering shows the pallets already in our truck
We were reassured that this would be a log entry only.
as we were leaving I told the guy that I did not appreciate being called a thief and a disgrace to my community.
He denied everything. The cops said OK enough and we went on our merry way.
The first place is a HVAC company and brand new pallets are heaped by the dumpster. This will be more than enough for my project.
That’s a lot ash and maple stacking 2 full loads and Respiting, as well, it costs time and money, You did very well good job,
Thanks!
The blue pallets are a company called chep. They are bot exclusive to big box stores bit they are big business.
Yup!
U need some them teenage wood stackers like Joe uses
Yup!
Here in this wide, brown "land of droughts and flooding rains...", there are 2 premium pallet types - blue CHEPs and red LOSCAMs. Difficult as all hell to get in mint condition (there's a whole tracking system around the red ones especially), but if a few ever fall off the back of a truck and into your woodyard, they'll outlast you....😁💪🪓🇦🇺
Yup, most here are pressure treated to last a log time!
Good morning Chris.
Hello!
I wonder if the processor can be converted to a box wedge. It would stop the resplits as well as cutting back on the waste.
A wedge with more knives will do it. A 12 way is coming!
Yup
Makes me tired just watching you restock all of your wood, I sell all my firewood to my customers, green, my customers sit on there firewood until it drys...Selling around 175 to 200 full cords of firewood every spring, and summer I simply have no time to move and stack firewood all day.

Just a thought about your change to stacking your wood in very high piles. Isn't it going to be difficult to get up there to cover them come winter?
Whaaat??!!! He's able to leap tall buildings!! Little wood piles, no sweat!!
Nope, I can climb them easily.
Ha! I wish!
Time for Andrew to send you a 12 way or 16 way. Little more mess but you shouldn’t have to resplit. If people are watching and had to resplit pieces after buying a 120k machine I would be pissed. Time for a bigger wedge
They are making a 12 way now.
I'm wondering why you'd want a raincoat, your blue tights will stop a speeding blocket, should stop rain!! OR, .... the hyper speed friction should evap the rain before it fully lands on you!!
You can load the front of your trailer by leaving the tailgate open and backing in further. When you pull forward, close the tailgate. - Always great to see what Tony's up to! A friend from school was nicknamed "Too Cool". See where I'm going with this?
Ordinary humans with big clumsy feet (I've seen this by observing), would do better by leaving a little space between splitter and pile for their feet. Myself, ...I'm quick and nimble, just like you,... don't need room for my feet!
Yup, opening the trailer doors will help!
Another fine video! What do you guys do with the rotten pallets and nails? I lo e using pallets but hate all the nails as they age. Thanks
Haul them to the dump!
what a coincidence that the tractor bucket is just as wide as the trailer! :D
Yup!
That's a nice wall of wood ! A few months of good drying weather this summer and you'll be delivering it. Are you ahead on inventory this year ? The processor helping ?
I am behind actually! I will get caught up fast now though!
Nice video Chris. So when it comes to pallets, you are a "oak snob". I like your system of re-splitting and stacking directly from the trailer. Did I mention before how much I really like that N&N trailer? GNI
Well said! Yes I am a oak pallet snob! HA! Yup, the trailer is awesome!
Chris I have to ask a few questions. Why do you split your wood so small?? I use to collect my own wood and split it. Going back to burning wood this coming winter. The amll splits burn so quickly it's almost like burning up matchsticks. I use to like burning wood about the size of the pieces you resplit about 5 to six inches in diameter. Another thing why do you throw away the debris?? That stuff is good for firestarter. When you load a cord, put a 5 gallon bucket of the debris in with it, then give the contents to the customer. Not the bucket just the contents. People always have a homer bucket or 2 around and they are happy that you'll give them something for nothing (and you would have discarded it anyway).
You are going to want to watch a lot more of my videos.
1- I sell all 200 full cords every year.
2- I want it to dry and sell as fast as possible 1 year or less.
3- I sell 95% of my wood to fireplace people NOT heating people, the do not want big wood.
4- If the lady of the house can't pick it up with one hand, it is to big.
5- Time, I do not have time to mess with scraps, I make money with fire wood not scraps.
Wow thats alot of mulch
Yup!
Too bad you didn't still have your old rusty dump trailer so you could split two loads before stopping. I usually don't sell my old equipment, but that leads to another problem.
Yup a second trailer would be nice!
Why so much respliting? Can’t you get a wedge to have smaller pieces split during the first pass on the processor?
Yup, it is on it's way!
As a guesstimate, what percentage of a trailer load of processed wood needs to be re-split? Seems like you are re-splitting less as time goes by. 👍
Before with big wood 1/4 now with better wood 5%
Hey be nice to your guest you know he is coming up hot and fast to you in subscribers, than you will have to Chase his channel..🤣🤣👍
Yup, the Tonester is on fire!
When I load my trailer off the convey the way you are doing I open the doors so I can get the conveyor up in the nose of the trailer you can get 3 or 4 feet closer to the nose of trailer be safe and good cutting
My thoughts as well...can just close the doors later when you load the back half.
Yup, thanks!
Yup!
Where is your high school football player helper 'The Machine' this summer?
He has a better job now!
That scrap that you dump could be made into wood chips and sold as smoker wood.
Yup, if I had a spare 3 minutes I would do that!
Man would be nice to have TWO dump trailers!!!!
And it would be awesome to have 3or 5!!!
@@InTheWoodyard now you’re talkin!
I bought a box of sterile latex nitrate gloves to wear under regular pigskin/rawhide/other gloves that keep moisture off my hands. It won't keep the regular ones dry but may work for you, too.
Thanks for the tip!
Here's a good one to comment on in a video. What rain gear do you use to keep dry so you can split and stack without the canopy? How do you keep your feet dry?
I have Helly Hanson. And I just wear steel toes boots if they get wet, I change boots.
Is your wood storage area 1/4 full, 1/3 full, 1/2 full ?
Will you need additional gravel before the snow starts flying ? And
Are you planning another log shipment anytime soon ?
I do not know, lots to do for sure, no more logs for a while until I get caught up.
I don't understand why you dump the splitting scrap back in the thicket. That will fill up eventually. Why not make a burn pile and eliminate it that way.
Time, it is faster.
Have you considered getting a suitable wedge to avoid re splitting?
I’m wondering the same.
I would be a damaging blow to my morale if I had to take it out of the trailer, split again, and then pick it up off the ground to put on the stack. There has got to be a solution utilizing a different wedge.
Yup, they are making me a 12 way now.
A 12 way is coming!
Yup, a 12 way is coming!
Straight is great 🤔😎, nice work again, did you think you might have sold your old trailer to soon?
Another trailer would be nice!
You gonna cover those tall stacks?
Yup, just the tops before it snows.
The stacks are now getting 20+ feet long and 7+ feet high, thus soon there will no longer be measured face cords available for "chuckin'". You seem to be measuring the loads for delivery by the pickup load full or trailer load full. My question is this ..... how relevant is a 16" length? Is say, 14" to 18" length close enough with the new stack sizes?
I try to have between 15-17" pieces bit 16" is best!
When you get the heavy duty plastic pallets, do you drill a few holes in the bottom for drainage?
No, but I should!
Because you are getting such clean debris from your current process, why not shovel it in a mesh bag and sell it as starter chunks. Shouldn’t be that much more effort and sell it for a half a face cord of wood if that helps ya think it’s worth the effort. Keep on keeping on!👍
I may eventually!
You might as well sell me that 592 !
Nope, I am now cutting a bunch of big ugly nasty tree service wood with it! You will see it soon!
you might wat to think about getting an external mike all the time lately when your talking i have to turn the volume all the way up then when you play music or run equipment its to loud i have to turn the volume back down
I do have a couple RODE wireless mics, they recorded on one channel by mistake for a while with out me knowing it, sorry.
👍
Thanks!
21 ft X 8 X 4 = 756 cubic feet / 128 full cord (3 face cords or “ricks” ) in my area: 5.90 full cords. 🤔🤔
Yup, sounds good!
splitting wood twice, blasphemy! haha!
Yup!
Do you really think you get more done with the proccessor vs the splitter and a chainsaw? I feel like all youre doing is creating more work for yourself with the cleanup
Yes, lots more and LOTS easier!
Chris I have a great pallet photo but not sure how to send it to you.
Send it to chrisinthewoodyard@gmail.com
I haven't been able to keep up with all your videos lately, but I was curious if you find you get alot more debris using the processor compared to cutting and splitting?
I do!
Someone is going to need to get some more tarps organised if he keeps accumulating lots of wood. Obviously if you're going 7ft high you're either trying to stop running out of space or else working on not moving around as much. Going 1.5 times as high means you're in the same place longer.
Yup, saving space!
Triple rows are sturdier too.
🤘
Someday can you show a quick shot of your trailer ball hook up on the tractor?
yes!
Thanks!
21ftx4ftx7ft= 588/128= 4.6 cordsx2= 9.2cords, 27.5 facecords roughly . Alot of wood to some people but never enough to a firewood producer. Stacking from the trailer is best. Turn and stack no back bending hundreds of times for no reason
Yup, you are correct!
You got wood everywhere how much do you have lol
not enough!
i heard you say : 5 dollars a gallon......... so i started calculating how that price compares to the price of fuel i have to pay in this miserable land called europe...... it translates to 11.46 USD per gallon.
That is totally insane!!!
I wonder wereld your wife stand in all of this. Is she supporting you... does she Come to the woodyard once and a while
Wish I had a wife that never bothered me. ''Course now, when you say 'supporting you', well, I could maybe get behind that one!
She is okay with anything I do to make $$$!
I am lucky, she is good with it!!!
Hi Cris
the place i work use a lot of pallets,get a lot of bad ones all the time
Hello!
There are lots of free pallets around here!
@@InTheWoodyard many,many
👍👍
Thanks!
Your audio has changed..
Yup, it recorded on one channel for a few weeks without me knowing it, make sure you balance is good and both speakers working too.
😧
Thanks for watching!
@@InTheWoodyard love the videos!! Ur in good shap for ur age👊👊
Is it just me or is the audio screwed on all these vids
On an IPhone I noticed if you turn phone horizontally it changes the audio. It’s better when the phone is vertical. When the phone is horizontal you lose the speaker phone speakers.

Mine does the same thing ?
Yup, I had the mic recording on one channel for a few weeks before I noticed. Sorry!
Yup
Chris , look up my buddy BJarne butler on U tube post today TLDW . THINK safety And put SAFETY FIRST see where my words came from Chris . Place for my old 95 ( 105cc)
Thanks Leonard!
