 Well I did it... It only took me nearly 10 years to bite the bullet and commit. I was waiting for a bigger unit with adjustable 6 way and Wallenstein listened. I have Hundreds of cords of mature and dying Bull Pine and Doug fire, much of it 30" in diameter. This was the only processor outside of stupid money that I could find that could work wood this size.

My Clark Ranger grapple skidder is finally being retired after nearly killing me or my working partners for 30 years. I will need a tractor of some sort or a logging trailer with Boom and winch to stage.

Pics to come in 4 weeks or less, Wallenstein has to build the 875. 845 is much smaller in capacity and pictured for reference.

 Well I was misslead the 875 and 845 will process a max diameter of 22". The 875 will do 36" splits and the 845 will do 24". Shipping on the 22nd.

I received the 845 on the 8th of last month. I have 40 hours on the processor and have completed just over 30 cord of firewood. Its not a perfect machine but its likely the best on the market at this price point. 16" logs with the 6 way are the the sweet spot. 22" diameter is where much of my firewood is and requires lots of resplitting and this drastically slows down production. I have done a cord in 45 minutes with good logs. Pics to come...

Pics as promised... Any questions ask away. $12,000 in firewood in the first 3 weeks of ownership, not bad.

 Thats one of the biggest reasons I bought this unit. I have done somewhere around 50 cord now trying to operate between rain storms. Hopefully posting this is allowed..
