    Hi people!
    Found this site searching for info on my Wood-Eze processors. Thanks for sharing info on your machines. Attached are photos of the one I have. Mine is reverse of any other I have seen? (Which is like only two or three and only photo's on the net) I bought it from a logger like 10-15 years ago. Like most stuff I get the only guarantee is that its guaranteed not to work. been slowly making improvements over the years. Its really a neat design for a small production processor in my opinion.

    P.S. check out the factory sticker on the splitter frame

    That is pretty neat Rinky. I'm not going to beat around the bush though...That square bucket with the back. I want about 4. Do you know where you bought it? Looks handy as heck

    I did not buy it is was a gift some toolbag left at a rental property of ours. with the back rent he did not pay that seat is prolly worth more than the processor LOL. I think it is like a fishing seat or something, Think it says Budweiser and has some fishing poles on a decal. the bottom is insulated like a cooler. I will look an see if I can get you some more info.

    Very nice! Beautiful wooded mountain in the background, and that is a good sized log you're working on! I like the 4 WD GMC truck, too!

    OK, first, I love your truck! Second, yours has been swapped around which makes a whole lot of sense to me. I'll tell you why; it makes sense to be on the "back" side of the unit because you have to operate the winch from that side. This means, if the controls are where they normally are (like mine) you need to walk around the ever growing pile of wood to get to the winch, hook up a log, walk around the pile of wood again, activate the winch, walk around the pile of wood again, un hook the winch cable, walk around the pile of wood again to the controls and continue to process the log. Repeat for every log you do! One of my major overhaul plans is to do exactly what someone did to yours. Please post more photos!

    Here is a photo from this weekend. You can see that it starts to get to be a PITA to walk around the wood several times to process a log.

    Can you explain your switches and levers as to what function they perform? Your photos have inspired me to begin a serious much needed update of my Wood-Eze.

    I don’t think a mouse could hide out from you all. I missed the Jeep until I went back and looked again! I’ll put my wish list as Jeep, gmc, dump truck
