I’m 75 years old living about one mile from Lake Superior in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I heat with firewood that I harvest myself. Having a pro saw is definitely the best way to go. I have a Stihl pro saw, tons of power and powers through anything I put it into. I can see the time coming when I will have to switch to my smaller Husqvarna saw. My log splitter is powerful and slow but I work by myself and only process wood for my self, 5 to 6 cords a year, about 2 years ahead right now. All good advice aimed mostly at people wanting to get into the firewood business. Do what you can and match tour tools to your ability. By the time I hit 80 lighter and slower equipment may be necessary, will I to see what the Gods have in store for me!!! Either way I will cut my own firewood till’ till I am unable to put my feet on the floor in the morning!!!!!
Good morning Chris, I mainly produce firewood for myself, for friends and for where I work. My vertical splitter works on a compact tractor with a 10T ram and cycles in around 5 seconds. The wedge on it was a poor design so I replaced it with a single knife ( kept very sharp ) I made from hardened steel. It eats wood for fun and I've not found anything it can't split. It's accurate enough to safely make kindling with too.! Like you say, huge power isn't always needed, speed and efficiency wins👍🇬🇧
I have a Timberwolf TW-1 with a 4 way wedge and it is wonderful and only costs $4000. I do 50 cords a year. It is a 5 1/2 hp I would like a bigger one, but this has done all I have asked of it. I have always used 50 cc pro saws but since watching you, i have gone to a 70cc and you are right. It really speeds up cutting speed. I wish i had a log lift. Great advice and video. They need to know their market. I now live in an area far from a high population and everyone here has and sells wood. If I want to sell wood now, I have to drive 45-60 miles
@@InTheWoodyard I was thinking the other day, if you put those rubber billboard signs on the ground before you put the pallets down for your bins, would that help them last longer and give you a good moisture barrier?
I have a HUSKEE 35 TON splitter that was given to me that needed a motor. I put a bran new motor on it. Its a little slow but i love it . I learn alot from your videos
All good points, Chris. I went from a 32cc to a 75cc saw. When i started, I was boring my Dad's f350, then got an F150, and figured out it wasn't enough. Now i have an F250, and for me, it's perfect. No dump trailer, but i do have a trailer based off of a 90 F250, and it's been the best trailer for me.😉👍
I agree with the splitter speed. I've just got a little $900 splitter from Menards and I've yet to have something it wouldn't split. Just yesterday I was splitting 36" rounds of oak and it was going through it great. The only problem is the cycle time is painfully slow
Takes spending money to make money bro… you may have to borrow some money up front to make it on the back end. I don’t own a splitter (I rent) and just actually got a tractor with loader n grapple but before I bought one I rented one couple times a year on big jobs. I’m not doing this for a living though. And don’t plan to
@jeremyfortune7274 I agree you will have to spend money to make money, but don't go out and go hog wild buying stuff you could possibly wait till your business could support it later.
"Prosaw" doesn't refer to the size of the engine on the saw. There are pro saws as small as 25cc (cs2611p). Your point of having a saw that's "big enough " is accurate. There's no reason to lug around a 14 lb to 16 lb power head to cut 8" rounds, but it also doesn't make sense to cut 20" rounds with a 50cc saw. If you're doing production work, you're likely cutting a lot of stuff over 12", and likely cutting multiple rounds with each cut (stacked logs), so a mid 70s cc saw with a very aggressive chain makes sense. A good splitter like that is great, but for the cost of a new one you can get a used processor in decent shape. I'd probably start with a standard 27T splitter (used) and a 4 way wedge, then get a dump trailer, then upgrade to a processor. Dumpt trailers are awesome. I live in the rust belt, and my painted steel trailer is probably 30 years old and doing fine.
I agree with the pickup 3/4 ton but I can't say anything bad about the older chevy s-10 I pulled a lot with it like a old john deere 45 combine. I built my own splitter it works good but I am going to put a bigger pump and engine on it this winter
In the splitter choice between a glacier box store splitter and an Eastonmade Ultra, there sits the new Split Fire 1165V. It is a vertical splitter with 3.5 second cycle time. It is Canadian made and worth checking out.
My 55 cc Sthil was not reliable. Bought it new. The pawl needed to be replaced three times in less than two years. One Sunday evening, I went to Home D for a $15 box of gloves. I glanced over to the rental department. Because of the glow. Sitting on a rolling cart, surrounded by a halo, with a choir of angels in chorus, (it WAS a Sunday) was a Makita 64 cc rental for sale. It's made in Germany, maybe by Johnsered? There is no comparison. That was a more expensive than expected box of gloves. One of my better impulse purchases. Edit: A trailer can get your stuff to the repair shop.
i HAVEN'T started yet, but i can't afford a big saw yet, so i'm thinking of getting a Milwaukee brand page M18 FUEL 16" Chainsaw (mfr 2727-20). They say the bar wears out after a cord but I don't plan on doing big volume. I figure maybe i can sell bundles of just campfire wood out of my driveway and see how demand is. I live near a newer suburb with a lot of traffic, i live at a point where most people have to drive through to get home. Wondering if you have any tips, criticisms? (It's a step up from using a sawzall/hackzall at least, and i have cut small trees down with them) The perk is they use the same battery as my other tools, and my neighbor has like 20 extra of them if i need. I'm looking into splitters that are viable for a beginner. I thought about just using a hydrolic jack with a wedge, or just my old spike until i make actual money.
Get at least a 50-60 cc gas chain saw...even used.. much better than a battery one and a good used hydraulic splitter...you will be making real firewood then!
I often wonder if there’s something wrong with me that I dream of just having and working in a woodyard which is actually way more work and more difficult work than my dead end service job lol
when i got my first pro saw changed things up for me. but the single most game changer for me and i wish figured it out when i was 16 and not 45-48. get a long heavy duty snatch strap with some xtra clevis and then some heavy duty bull ropes. i dont touch brush anymore for the most part. i dont carry pieces through briars anymore. i save my time and i save my body. i need a trailer that i can carry my skid loader back and pick and fill a trailer. i want to be able to tip a trailer and split right out of the back end. my commercial grade box store splitter was a great investment. i should of done it sooner. i'm only at 5 years now. i could of saved my body sooner. but get some good ropes/straps and mabe a rope puller.
A truck is the biggest thing I need to get next. I’ve been doing all my firewood with a suburban, which sorta works but it’s like 9 extra steps over just throwing rounds in the bed of a truck. It has the technical capacity but it’s not the same thing at all. In the past if I wanted to get serious I had to use a trailer; having a real truck bed would be a game changer.
That also reminds me, Easton made called me back after I inquired on their website but I was busy so I let it go to voicemail, I need to send them some of my doubloons for an ultra. It’s spendy as heck for my use case but better than what I can get from the local equipment rental place.
@@InTheWoodyard My Ford F 250 Highboy 4x4 only needed oil changes a couple batteries and gas. Oh I did have to change the sparkplugs a few times and get a couple break jobs done. This Truck was a tank. Nothing would stop it. Had Granny low in it. I worked that truck and it seems the more I worked it the better it was running. U hauled dirt Gravel logs campers 2 1/2 miles up a MT in Kingsfield Maine called deer farm campground. I can not tell you how many cars I had to pull out of the snow. The clutch was right on the money and the shift was just right so when you was in 2nd and 4th the shift would rest on the seat. I had to pull my Friends Dodge 2500 4x4 out of a lake it was sinking in the muck . I hooked up to it put it in Granny low popped the clutch and got out of the truck and watched it pull that truck out like it was not even there..
Usually a 27-28 ton box store splitter is 20-22 ton, based on actual pump psi and the bore size of the cylinder. Took me a while to calculate the tonnage, but that's what it is. Which is why a commercial grade 28 ton splitter smokes a box store splitter of the same tonnage.
@@InTheWoodyard I'm still wanting to go bigger. But it's gonna take time. I got a 98 Dodge ram 1500 that has the 5.9 Magnum. It has no problem pulling a big load of wood
Sorry. Chris. but here in Norway, getting a cheap simple wood processor is by far the best buy i ever made. i spent 4000 dollars and i make 0.6 to 1 cord an hour.
I returned my 22 ton to buy a bigger splitter shoulda kept the 22 ton it was 3-4 seconds faster cycle time then the 37 ton I got now. I'm getting a wolf ridge next year
Has anyone on here gotten the cutoff slabs from a mill for firewood? Several people around me have them for sale extremely cheap but I’m wondering if they’d be too much bark?
All wood burns, cutoff slabs have their own drawbacks bark being one, random lengths sliding moving while trying to cut and a few more really comes down to cost and your set up for processing them. I did not have a good process for dealing with them I could buy them for appx 1/5 the cost of buying full cords and I stuck with buying full cords YMMV.
Get a bigger truck, keep your Tundra as a backup. (that Tundra, will probably go many more thousands of miles) Also, newer isn't always better, these "newer" pickups seem to have "electrical issues" after a while.
Sorry about that, check your setting on youtube and on your device it might be off balance also. It was fine on mine and the editing I did with it...so???
You forgot the most important thing a sharp saw. A sharp 60cc will out cut a barely sharp 80cc any day. That’s the reason I use a 590 echo cuts very fast when sharp and cheap
I think you forgot one of the most important things on the list. You need to find a good guy that has a farm that will let you set your wood yard up on.
@@InTheWoodyard Hey love the channel and your go for life attitude. Why spend $12k and need three guys to run it? Spend $4k and run it with one guy was my point. If the $12k used one guy and the $4k used three , the numbers make more sense. It just struck me funny on a guy to money ratio being the same.
A "face cord" is not a unit of measure. Do not ever buy wood from someone that sells "face cords", they are scamming city people that don't know what a cord of wood looks like. A cord is a legal unit of measure, 4x4x8, or 128 cubic feet of split and stacked wood. An honest cord will not fit in an 8' pickup bed without racks.
Some states do have laws stating that (mostly east coast) . But in the mid west and most of Canada we do go by facecord ALL THE TIME. One row stacked 4' high 8' long 16" pieces....also called 1/3 of a cord 43.666 square feet also called a ric, rank or a row...some times a truckload... Different areas have different names for things and laws...so.....
That was a Nice Explanation of things you need in FireWood Production, You missed an Excavator Fire Wood Bundler, A Hopper Feeder, if you Get a chance check OUT Allen Family Firewood he bought Hopper Feeder for his channel, to increase his Fire Wood Production, he has the EastonMade Axis and the STK 24 CONVEYOR,
Best advice ever Chris ... and get busy ..work when its cooler ...you are more productive. Go into a partnership ... I have a partner who has a pine plantation and a big tractor with a grapple grabber ... I brought the forestry skills .. big box splitter ..elevator .. 6 cube tipper trailer ... I drop and buck the trees ... he picks them up and stacks them ... 2 x Stihl 880's cut them ... into a big barn for the middle of next winter when prices are higher and no one has wood ... Get this all done in the spring early summer ...

If the $12k used one guy and the $4k used three , the numbers make more sense. It just struck me funny on a guy to money ratio being the same.
Good Morning Woodhounds(-:
Morning!
And cats. You need cats to make firewood.
Ha!!! No, not really!
More friends? Im here to work my ass off and not to make friends 😂😂
Friends can help you get more work done than you can alone.
Twice as much twice as fast is not double .. its quadruple
Okay.
Hey. Chris. Baby
Hello there Sir Ralphy Baby!!!! I hope all is good for ya!
A "face cord" is not a unit of measure. Do not ever buy wood from someone that sells "face cords", they are scamming city people that don't know what a cord of wood looks like. A cord is a legal unit of measure, 4x4x8, or 128 cubic feet of split and stacked wood. An honest cord will not fit in an 8' pickup bed without racks.
Some states do have laws stating that (mostly east coast) . But in the mid west and most of Canada we do go by facecord ALL THE TIME. One row stacked 4' high 8' long 16" pieces....also called 1/3 of a cord 43.666 square feet also called a ric, rank or a row...some times a truckload... Different areas have different names for things and laws...so.....
Music too damn loud, I can't hear you...
Check you balance on your device. It is fine on the video for mine and everyone else.
That was a Nice Explanation of things you need in FireWood Production, You missed an Excavator Fire Wood Bundler, A Hopper Feeder, if you Get a chance check OUT Allen Family Firewood he bought Hopper Feeder for his channel, to increase his Fire Wood Production, he has the EastonMade Axis and the STK 24 CONVEYOR,
Those are some nice things too, but with these 5 a person can do a lot.
Best advice ever Chris ... and get busy ..work when its cooler ...you are more productive.
Go into a partnership ... I have a partner who has a pine plantation and a big tractor with a grapple grabber ... I brought the forestry skills .. big box splitter ..elevator .. 6 cube tipper trailer ... I drop and buck the trees ... he picks them up and stacks them ... 2 x Stihl 880's cut them ... into a big barn for the middle of next winter when prices are higher and no one has wood ... Get this all done in the spring early summer ...
Yup, most people fear work! I like it too!
#6 Find a friend that has a alot of land & do firewood on his property my place is too small!
Good one!
