timberwolf conveyor

[Nemologger]

does anyone have any experience with a Timberwolf conveyor? Are they a good buy?

I can praise thier log splitters because I own one.
As far as freight cost goes and wwith where you are located
it would be more to your advantage to purchase a gas or
hydraulic drive firewood conveyor from Rainier Hydraulics.
These are the same folks who build the Chomper fire wood processor

They sell thier firewood processors and conveyors factory direct
to the end user. 8)

I had a 28'timberwolf elevator when I first started with firewood.  Had it for about 6 years  and it ran great.  It ran fast even at a idle.  I had to put a belt on it once and all I can say is don't buy the belt from timberwolf.  Got the same belt from Baltimore Belting for about half the price.

Well I just had a conveyor delivered all I can say is WOW. I didn't know it would take so much work out of stockpiling firewood. Put it right on the end of my TW 5.

They are great arent they!

I built mine from scratch, used double chain with steel paddles what a beast! Doubled my production.

Is it a belted conveyor?  I thought about getting one to be able to use with firewood or mulch.

I bought a new 20' Timberwolf conveyor nearly 10 years ago-roughtop rubber belting,great piece of equipment. Only thing I'd change would be to order it with rubber paddles built into the belt-snowy or icy wood goes up a ways then comes right back down. My Timberwolf processor came with an all-steel (30' I think)conveyor that has a center chain and 1" sq. tubing for paddles,flow control valve for speed and runs off the machines hydraulics. Noisier than the rubber belted model,but a tough and reliable machine.

NWP...yes it is belted, I just run it at a idle and it does a great job.

Can a guy burn a wood stove inside a small building to dry 1 or 2 cords of firewood, seems like the wood stove takes a lot of the moisture out of the wood.
Would burn on and off when home and during the day time

Welcome to the Forestry Forum

I believe member Swampdonkey does that method... stacks it in the basement where it can dry some more and burns it through the winter.

Depends on a number of things, but might just give it a try and see how it goes.

I stack mine on pallets outside with top covered for a year or two before burning.

Upnorthpike,welcome to the forum. I have no idea,but a box fan to move around the air might help too.

If you're going to burn wood you might as well burn it to heat your house rather than burning it to dry more to burn  in your house.
