Blockbuster
The processor is a Blockbuster 22-20. It's a great machine I've done over 200 cords and have had no problems.

Hey Wismer: That snow melt made it awfully wet, eh?
Oh yes, very very very very wet. I don't like to be in the bush when its that wet, not good for the trees roots. It also just looks like plain crap if you have big ruts throughout your woodlot. Not to mention erosion. But yes the only reason i was out in that is because I was moving wood i had cut from around the barns and on headlands. And of course on the landing there, I was up to the axles but boy that New Holland TN95F will HAUL

Here's some more pics of the firewood yard including a pic of after it just got cleared this past August. I'm having a large splitter made that will take the larger logs over 24" diameter and split them down to a better diameter in 9 ft lengths. When it gets done I'll post some pics

looks like you might have some saw logs in those piles.

we have small mill that the lumber logs get brought down to on the other side of the farm
MFC, in that 3rd pic it looks like the conveyor is feeding the fire. Might be a good idea for those with OWBs.

Good! I hate to see good saw logs get busted up into firewood. There's plenty of crap logs for that.

Hey Big Mac!
Based on your pics whatever your GPM's HP's Fluid viscosities, Operatings PSI's ARE, Evidentlly their workin based on those Pics. I'm a residential builder with a passion for saws and heating with wood. I use a 16oz. Estwing hammer for driving everything from 4d finish to 16d sinkers t 6' pole spikes on my gable end trusses. Now I'm told I cant drive 16d's with a 16oz hammer I have to use a 28oz "california framer with a 24" handle" (no disrespect to your home state) BUT,...If I do use the 16 I can only get 4 16dpm (16 pennies per minute) according to opinion and very scientific calculations. I am called in so many words a liar when I say I can do 8 16dpm on a regular basis. although you do have to take into consideration left arm elbow and joint flexibility and LDF (linear drive force) at the hammer handle. But, what really blows them away is when i tell them that I can do12 16dpm's if i eat my Wheaties that morning. I am continually called a liar but I haven't been able to convince any of them to come to the Midwest so that I can dispell their calculations. Anyways looks like what you got works. Nice pics!

yes there is allways the exception to the rule, i would here that kind
of stuff back when i built hot rod engines, but after i would beat them
in a race they would shut up abot combinations of cam size carb size
heads open chamber or closed chamber manifold single plane or duble
plane and on and on, there are people who allways fallow the path layed
out by someone and there are those who will make there own:biggrinbounce2:

Amen brother, I would rather try something new and fail (read as "weed out the inappropriate ways of getting to the end of your means!") then to follow. (with the exception of modding any of my saws. I couldnt bare to lose one because of ignorance on the operating table!). (I have volumes of chapters on the wrong way of doing things, but you can bet your a$$ once i do figure it out I know everything about it!) And as far as you are concerned, based on your pics of your big mac, I'd hesitate to go toe to toe with anyone that can manhandle that bad boy! ( and here I thought i was king s@#t when Ihad my 36"er on my husky 2100!!)
Oh BTW thanks a lot!, I thought my homegrown splitter with hydro boom 5.5 hp power plant and barnes 11 gpm 2 stage was all i ever needed. I've got an old ironhead sportster engine and tranny in the shed that I might have some new ideas for! Hmmmm..... gonna have to think long and hard on that!
