    I'm impressed that he says you could pay for it in a few months. You're doing right good to pay for a $165,000 machine in a few months with firewood.

    Maybe the FHC estate could purchase, and it could travel around to the members to help process their piles. It would be a perk, you know, like the helicopter.....

    It ain't a true processor till it splits the rounds as well, not saying it isn't really cool, but it's a giant buzz saw as configured. Add the splitter head, box wedge and a decent machine to load it and you're looking at a 1/4 million and still no semi tractor to move it.

    LOL I'm good! Splitting is always the slow part to begin with though.
