Will there be a warm spot for the hydro's to spend the night?

Yes. Heated garage and kiln building.

 

[Homelite410]

That would be awesome...
I know the 22 gpm pump can be a bear on a 13 hp motor to crank once you hit single digits..

How bout a plug in hydro tank heater!!

The super split splitters can rock with three people each. Maybe 5 for both. Up to 4 cord an hour combined with motivated crew running both splitters. Biggest problem is getting enough good wood and getting rid of the splits

One person delivering wood one running each splitter) and a helper / wood chucker for each.

Thats why with 10 splitters the more guys the better. 40 guys would be perfect

 

[Hedgerow]

Is there some kind of record we're shooting for?
I wonder what the record for the most wood cut and split in a day is??

I have no idea. I know the most I've seen is about 40 cord on a multi-tec

Agreed. Will the elevators be running?

Chris is bringing one over. I can check if he can have both. He was thinking we could run the elevator into a dump and run some loads to Scotts house.

My personal record is 3 cords, with me and a helper. That was cut, split, stacked and delivered 20 miles to 3 different customers. That was when I was 16. So a couple years ago. LOL

Me and a fellow worker at a tree service worked on a Saturday once and split 17 cords, stacked over 10 of it under a deck and threw the rest in a pile. Can't remember our start time but I remember quitting at 11:45 pm. I was about 20 years old at the time.

Mine was 1980. One truck, two boys. Start to finish. $ 150 day! BIG money!!!!! We finished loading at 2 pm, and went to the Sonic. Then delivered it. That is with a poulan 306 A. LOL and a 62 Chevy 2T. No dump. (It's hard to load 4 feet in the air, and we stacked it in the truck. 18 foot bed. Full load.) I paid my buddy either $4 or 5 per hour, he never helped me again! He went on to become successful....... LOL

And that is with one maul.

How much will dump hold? What is it 160 ft3 tossed is about a cord?

That was what I had heard at one time or another..

Call me cheap, etc. but a cheap aquarium heater will keep that tank warm . They drop in and go. Another Million dollar solution!

 

[Stihl Livin]

I don't believe they call it cheap anymore. I think the correct term is frugal

 

[RVALUE]

My dump trailer will probably hold two cords.... So with Sam splitting, You'd have to make two trips per hour..... Just saying.... Not much time for dicking off. On the dump driver.


Takes 1 minute to unload.

So then the question will be how far of a drive will the dump have to make. If Sam can split enough for 2 trips per hour and we have 10 splitters we need to call in a fleet of dump trucks to run all day.

Ah, the joys of math!


I've seen people who were having 100 guests for a bar b cue order two cases of pop and 2 cases of water. LOL in the summer.

 

[Hedgerow]

Doug will probably have his dump trailer too..

But I'm all for just making a mountain..
