    Teamed up with dad and Little Beech to process 5 loads at friends place. They started yesterday and I helped wrap it up today. Nice clean quality wood. Included a couple of pics of processor after we packed up.

    Nice work there.
    I like the processor and the pile of sawdust next to it tells me it made just a few cuts.

    Wow, some serious production there! Was the processor rented? Was the wood all in logs? How were the logs fed to the processor? Lots of questions, would be fun to watch and help with a setup like that

    buZZsaw BRAD the wood was mixed. Ash, beech, a few maple. A couple required rotation in order to split through the 6way wedge.

    buzz-saw My brother Little Beech thought that you guys would like the sawdust pile. It has a slasher saw that I'm sure the buzzsaw bros would appreciate! :saw:

    Sandhillbilly We own the processor and I'm obsessed with operating it. :loco: :crazy: We just put a bit of $ into a few upgrades. Yes, all wood started as logs delivered by a logger. :stacker:Not our wood. this is a big pile. Really jacked the conveyor up to a steep angle and they knocked some down with bucket on tractor. Still had to move t he machine once!
    Maybe I'll make another post of the machine and some of the details of your like.

    I love seeing a wood pile like that! I've never run a processor but think it would be nice. For sure different from milling but I'll bet it is as enjoyable as milling.

    We used our JD 332 skid steer to load the logs.
