Satisfaction from Processing Firewood

[porcupine]

I've found interest in viewing other members firewood operations posted here and have learned from them so I will contribute a few photos of mine.

Sept. 2022


 
40 Logger Cord Mixed Hardwood


 
Kubota M5040


 
Brute Force 18-24 Gas.   
38 HP Kohler EFI   
Diesel was desired but after options added it would have been too much $


 
Fast Split
Auto Cycle &
Positive Stop Options Added


 



 



 




 



 
An upgrade from 32 ton single spitter then Super Split. I still use those at times.

People ask me with a questioning facial expression "do you like to split firewood?"
"Pretty weird huh...yeah I do".

Looking great. 

Now, how do they look buried in firewood logs and debris ??  8)

I couldnt agree more. My son and are in the basement watchin tv by the wood stove discussin the same thing right now. We finished our pile tonight before supper. Prolly 150 cord or thereabouts in it and we're out of room on the cement pad until
We start haulin some wood out
 Then start splittin again but it is satisfying to be done for a bit. Nice comin in the house  and bein able to see the pile grow every day as the log pile shrinks 😉

 Brute Force makes a nice machine. If you wouldn't mind, I'd like to see a picture of how they did the positive stop. My Dyna doesn't have that (not available) and I'd like to come up with something I can fab myself. 

 Brute Force continually improves and upgrades their machines, there's a few things on yours that I see already that I really like. Two things are, the hydraulic elevated live deck, and the hydraulic elevated conveyor...does yours swivel as well? The winch system on the Dyna really gets in the way, especially if you have to respect stuff.

Pretty simple set up on this auto stop. I followed the hoses but they went into a bundle of spaghetti and it was too cold to crawl around to find them. But... I suspect they went to the control panel.

Thanks! So it is hydraulic operated, I was wanting to something with just a linkage but honestly hydraulic may be the simplest in this case.

Snow has buried the evidence.
Power Equipment is in the Storage Building.
I'm shut down for the winter.

It's good to see someone whose "free heat" is more expensive than my "free heat". 😝
Toys, I think to many of us IS a large part of the pleasure. It is for me.
Great setup porcupine!
