Have been looking into firewood processors for about a year now and was checking them out at the Bangor Expo. Don't know much about what the going rate ($) is for processing firewood by the cord. I like the looks of  the Woodbine Rapido Logo with a rotary saw built by CRD Metalworks in Mass. What can you charge per cord and what are some of your thoughts on brands and models of processors?

Those sure was fast,cutting wise, compared to the chainsaw ones.And the Woodbine that I was watching also could cut a very crooked log.

The rotary saw is a lot more productive with less maintenance for sure

I don't own a processor, but the number I have heard a few times is $50.00 per cord.

Take a look at bells machining processors, I had a chance to look at them at the Bangor expo and talk with the owner. Very well laid out machines easy to work on and very rugged. They offer many different models both chainsaw and circle saw. :)
