  • Something satisfying with the sound of firewood being dumped from a tractor bucket. Thanks for the vid, Chris.
  • That bin is gonna fill up fast being fed by the ULTRA! That is where that machine shines! Good work Chris👍🏻👍🏻GNI
  • Good video Chris. Listening to your explanation on wood/split sizes made me smile, you'd be aghast if you saw the sizes I put in my box fire. Anything that will fit will do. I'm heating 1600 square feet single level house and all my hot water with a single fire. Our winters are milder than yours so that helps. Just love a good wood splitting show mate. Cheers from HB NZ
  • Busy day in the woodyard, what with the splitting and dumping in the Bin. And it’s always nice to see the new kittens. Now as to fire extinguisher I saw towards the end of the video……was there a spontaneous combustion of the splits?, I mean you did say this batch was ready to burn NOW!!!, but that’s some hot firewood!!!….

    Excellent video!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🪵🪓🌲🪓🪵
  • Very nice. The top deck of the splitter really shows how hard you have worked. Third kitty will be Leaker for the caps leaking.
  • Good one , split split, instead of chop chop. 🤭🤭 Wood cats are getting use to the camera. 👍🏻
  • Nice video Chris. Storms last evening near my river cabin. Small tornado headed right towards us but dissipated/lifted a 1/2 mile away. I got lucky with just some small branches down and a gas grill blown over. Other side of the river not so lucky-major hail damage to crops, structures and vehicles. Many Iowa friends affected that I spent the morning helping cleanup. GNI

    Great job Chris, definitely getting the work done. Got me thinking; at the end of the conveyor of the processor, a “bump wall” would be awesome. Similar to what Modern Rentals had for their mulch bins, honestly I see them all over in my area in Michigan for mulch bins. Either way, way easier to just scoop and dump even better that you are on the concrete. As you say, easy to spend someone else’s money. lol Thank you for the lunch video. 👍🏻👍🏻 Good Night Irene
  • Good Morning Chris. Been a while since I commented so I thought I'd drop a note to congratulate you on the new production methods. Much needed since your business has really grown since I first started watching the comings and goings of The Woodyard over three years ago. One suggestion is that for the next "Super-Bin", you might consider starting off with a super wide, but shallow (basically U-shaped) enclosure that you can drive the tractor into. As the wood stacks up, you can add more depth as necessary, working front to back. This would eliminate the need to take any of the equipment out into the drying yard, since you could load the bin exclusively with the tractor, no matter how wide or how deep you make it. When it comes time to sell from the pile, just remove the front wall, and sell the wood off FIFO without the need to climb over anything to get at it. Just my two cents, as always.
  • You might consider parking a trailer near the wood pile. scooping up the wood with the bucket and putting it into the trailer. then splitting from the trailer into the bin with the conveyor. that would eliminate a lot of long trips with the tractor.

    Chucking and spitting and hauling to the bin this could become a song .Maybe a wood yard song , I can’t hear you humming it while you work. Great job today Chris I enjoyed it. Get the bin filled up.
  • @cutNdryfirewood

  • Nice splitting and clean up session 👍 That firewood bin is going to be massive when filled
