Here are a couple of shots at my firewood handling. Old Huskee rebuilt splitter with a Gorillabac log lift. The log lift is just a small crane with a small electric winch, but it is really useful on the big stuff. I am one of those that just hated to use the splitter vertically, and haven't taken the time to put a hydraulic lift on the splitter. I really like the IBC totes, just toss the wood in, don't tough it again until it goes in the outdoor water stove. I normally don't get logs this big, but they were already cut to lenght and free. 4 of them filled up a tote. I have about learned to toss the wood instead of stacking, can't get quite as much in, but my L3600 can pick it up and move it better(not as tippy). At almost 70, I am still getting ideas from this bunch(some more expensive than others)

How many totes do you go thru per winter cm?

This week I upgraded from the Red Runner Deluxe wood processor to their Super Deluxe model

Increase in log size from 16” to 18”
Hydraulic log clamp
Hydraulic adjustment of splitting wedge
Better saw dust discharge
20 HP Honda vs 13 HP B&S
Improved infeed and outfeed conveyors.
Improved ergonomics.
15% increase in output.

If tariffs are imposed, I will avoid a 25% price

You seem to be a guy that thinks about cost vs benifit trade offs. Just wondering what prompted this change? You seemed pretty positive about your first processor and showed good numbers on it.

Anyone in your area doing it this way?

I've always wondered about the burners....

No, never seen that

It would seem well suited to "lowland forests" i,e, thickets and hedge rows, shelter belts etc.

Interesting but does it mean I'm getting old when the lack of safety equipment in videos like this bothers me?

Nice way to work with smaller wood and trimming and get a good use out of it, just needs a bigger stack wagon. To small of a capacity on that little one.
