    Holy smokes. Just the amount of wood cut and split in a day in possibility is hard to fathom with the tools at hand. 3 year plan? How about 30.

    My brothers buddy has a firewood business and bought a processor a couple years ago. He brought it over one weekend and went to work getting used to his new machine...we estimated 10 cords split by the end of the day...that was with 5-6 hours of actual run time and less than perfect logs. IIRC the machine was rated for 4-5 cords per hour under ideal conditions.

    4-5 cords. In a day if logging was done to cut logs, trim and place all done in one fell swoop, thats 40-50 cords. Thats at least a 10-12 man operation there
