Our Firewooding Equipment

[liamjordan]

Hello everyone, i just thought i would share some information and some pictures about all the equipemnt we use to produce and distribute our firewood.

 

I wouldnt say we have a big setup, we do sell a lot of wood, yes but im not sure but i doubt its anywhere near on the scale of what some people on this forum do. Just to let you know, my granddad runs this "business" and he is retired so this is not somthing that keeps us alive, he purely does it to keep active and to make a bit money in the proccess.

 

We deleiver at least 1 load a day up to 5 on a good day (we consider a load - a 110 land rover full heaped, probably weighin about 3/4 of a ton)

 

Main Chainsaws:

Stihl MS 440

Stihl MS 361

Stihl MS 018

Stihl MS 090

 

Tractors and Equipment:

In vid one, the felling technique wouldn,t be far wrong if you'd have played the tape backwards

ha okay fair enough

That reverse felling cut on the backleaner is very cool, you need to be very confident in the accuracy of your cuts though!

How do you get on with the screw type splitter BTW, do you find it a little slow at times and sometimes end up fighting with the log?
