Thank you for sponsoring the best forum on the web!
Thank you all for your kind words. Jeff has done such a great job setting this all up for me. The website he built for this is amazing. I will try to bring a machine down for the pig roast so everyone can see what a well built processor that brute force is. Or call and set up a demo time, I can make myself available on weekends too with a little notice. (I am married ;D) I hope in the future to be able to help the forestry forum and give back some, like ox said the forestry forum is like no other, it really is the best. I have learned so much in here and everyone has always been so helpful. Thanks again,,,,Ed Norman
thank you for sponsoring the FF
Thank you Ed :)
Welcome Ed. And might I say a very nice logo sign you have. smiley_thumbsup
Hi smiley_wavy
post,
I owe everything to Jeff about the whole website, my son Joe had the idea of the 2 guys with axes, but everything else was all Jeff. I am not computer savvy at all, so this whole thing is a dream come true. I probably wont sleep for a week I am so excited about this 8) Thanks again for this welcome.
Ed thanks for the sponsorship, nice looking site and nice looking processors, watched a couple of videos on the tube.
It all looks good.
r.man,
Thanks for the kind words, I feel privileged to be able to sell these products, I think they are the best hydraulic chainsaw processors on the planet. I have always wanted to stay close to the firewood industry, my only source of heat when I first got married was wood heat. Some of my fondest memories were going out early Saturday mornings or sunday mornings and getting my wood in. My kids tell me now how much that meant to them to see me working so hard to keep them warm. Then they got to get involved with the stacking and loading the woodstove we had set up in the basement. Thanks again, Ed
Thanks for the support,
Thank you for the support! This site is full of great people, ran by great people, and supported by great people!
glassman_48 thank you for supporting forestryforum.com! 8)
Ed thanks for the support good to see you back miss your posts.
Thanks again all, bricklayer, I purchased 2 pieces of commercial property in the last 2.5 years. Been working like a dog getting everything the way I want it. I was coming home exhausted every night to the point that my wife finally had to hog tie me and slow me down ;D So things are getting back to normal now. I feel like the rest of you about this forum, it really is a great one. thank you, Ed Norman
Welcome aboard ED.
Since I am a long ways west of you and in Canada I may not use the services you offer BUT you never know. With the internet and delivery to the drive way in todays world who knows? Could happen! I do like some of your products.
Many thanks for supporting the Forum. I remember you at Pig Roast. Thanks for your kind words. Hope to see you in August.
Welcome home Ed. Thanks for your support. 8)
I watched a video on Youtube on Brute Force processors. I want one. It seemed to operate effortlessly. And they were splitting real world firewood logs, not the beautiful, straight grained saw logs you see in other videos.
bandmill bandit,
If you come to the pig roast this year, we can build you a processor (with a pintle hitch for Canadian's) and you could take it home with you ;D swamp donkey, I am really glad to be a sponsor in here, its a great forum, thank you
fat olde elf, I missed last pig roast, thought it was the end of august, GAB stopped by after the pig roast and you should of seen the look on my face when he told me I missed the pigroast. I remember you too, a wealth of knowledge hope to hang with you all some more this pig roast.
Ox, the owner of brute force has put his machines through grueling tests, he overbuilds his equipment so it holds up. Anyone is welcome to get a hold of me and I would gladly explain more about these machines, they really are that good. Thanks again to everyone, can't wait for the pig roast.
Does Brute Force build any splitters aimed toward a personal user doing 10-15 cord per year? Some of us OWB owners don't want/need the wood split too small.
Thank you Ed. This forum means so much to so many so your support is appreciated.
gspren,
The owner of brute force built their first splitters recently, I will ask him if he can build one with a longer splitting area. We are always building the firewood processors longer that way for OWB owners, we usually build 36" long. I will get back to you, thank you for your interest. What length splitter opening would work best for you? I am waiting for pictures of the log splitters so they can be put in the website.
I don't really need longer, even though my OWB will take 44" I usually cut 18-20" and load 2 rows, I just don't split things as small as most indoor burners use. I'm OK with a single wedge but a removable 4 way would be nice also. A horizontal with a lifter would be best for old bones to operate and light enough to tow behind a UTV.
Thanks!
Thanks for supporting the forum! ;)
Darrel, and George,
Thanks for the welcome, The website is being added to as we get more pictures of our newer products. Gspren, still waiting for pictures of the log splitter and pricing too. I am going to hopefully get Jeff to take a video and some still pictures so we can add them to the website too. I will keep you all informed as we add new stuff on the website. Thanks again, Ed Norman
Thanks for supporting this great forum Ed.
gspren,
I am getting some info together on log splitters, we have 2 commercial models, $6499.00 and $8499.00. They have log lifts and adjustable 4 way wedges. No homeowner models yet, they are well built. The machines are in Wisconsin, and I will not be able to post any pictures in my website until I take pictures myself. No brochures yet, if you have further interest, call me and I will try to get you some more basic info.
Thanks for supporting our great forum. Maybe we can do business.
Dave,
Thanks for contacting me our new contact area that Jeff set up works really well. Hoping we can get a conveyor sold to you. Thanks again, Ed
welcome and thanks for your support smiley_thumbsup

:o Really :o . Does that include international Ed. ;D . Thanx for sponsoring and keeping a gr8 forum alive. 8)
Ada Shaker,
Let me know where and I will look into this. Might have to make purchaser responsible for the shipping, from Wisconsin if its a really tough location to ship to. There might be tax issues, currency exchange etc. You can also call my glass shop, the number is on my profile. Thanks for the welcome, and yes it is such a great forum.

Your welcome, I'm not sure where the shameless links are either.
They are on the home page of the Forestry Forum. https://forestryforum.com/
Jeff,
Found the shameless links, told you I am "below par" on a computer, but learning as I go. Thank You
