    I started out with this.

    It worked the way it was but the wood bounced when it hit the conveyor belt and it needed a hopper to make it more user friendly.

    Here is a video showing how it worked and I discuss my plans.

    Thanks, it takes the job of one man.
    I watched CL forever and never saw anything that was decent or at the right price. I went to an auction and this one was there.

    A conveyor really takes the workout of firewood. Nice conversion and find!
