What about a timberwolf pro mp? It's a nice sold machine and with a two man crew workin. Hard you can bang out and 5 face cords every half hour

I'm looking at the blockbusters.Probably a 15-20 or 18-20. There's a slightly used TW pro online somewhere.

I think you're from Australia? I was going to say the logging shows are starting up pretty soon. But that won't help you much if I am right.

Blockbuster 15-20. This guy should have a chair. Standing up is going to tire him out.

Yep! That's what I'm talkin' about ;) I'm waiting for my packet to come in the mail. Might get here today. I think they have a 31 hp kubota now

Probably goes through a deck of logs fast enough that standing at the controls is but for a short time.

Then reaching to unsort a splitter hang-up or two in that time means moving.

As well as taking care of the split drops in and out of the conveyor.

Having a block fall wrong into the splitter seems to be a problem for some machines and not others. On one machine I watched it happened so much the operator had a specially made long hook to straighten them out. I can't help but think that this is a design defect and should only rarely happen. I also see that some machines are using a sideways movement to get the block into the splitter area and I wonder if this is to avoid jam ups.

I don't know about the cord king but I bought a used Multitek 2040 XP last year and I'm very pleased with it. Its a very well made machine, the only problems I had with it were because of poor maintenance on the part of the former owner. Once I got those things squared away I had no problems.
