    The manufacture says 3 cords an hour. I believe that possible, with one push of the ram per round cut and piled. We are splitting into a dump trailer, no sides is one cord and with sides is 2 cords. We are running a 3 person crew. One processor operator, one to keep the log deck loaded and one to manage the wood as it piles in the trailer and move it forward. If we are in perfect diameter wood with no resplits and firing on all cylinders 55 minutes has been our best 2 cord load. I would say 1:15 is our normal. Seems like we always have something small that burns time, usually more than one thing. And a slow day is 1:45 - 2 hours and something a little more major to undo. None of it has been equipment issues/down time. It's things like 2 logs went into the saw chute and having issues fishing one out. A log not sitting on the live deck and teetering off one side or the other. The typical wood yard fun. I hope this helps explain.
