That hurts to watch.

 

[Nixon]

I made it to about 3 minutes .

 

[Pallet Pete]

That chain is sooooooooo dull and slow !

 

[mikefrommaine]

I think if he cut the wood to length with a bow saw he could speed things up quite a bit.

 

[iskiatomic]

Yup, yup. I am still awake. OMG!

Wow - agonizingly slow, AND there were several cuts in the video! A 1:18, and 1:47 while the worlds slowest winch pulls the log up the chute, 2:01 while the winch cable is removed, then 2:29 the worlds slowest saw magically 'jumps' from scratching the surface to about a bar width deep. I give up after that!

I think in the cold and snow, I'd actually prefer doing a bit of work to keep warm. I always say the only thing worse than working in the cold is standing around in it!

I learned how to knit and created a sweater before the 1st piece was cut and split lol..

I'm just hoping that he has it on turtle speed to demonstrate how it all works.

 

[Ashful]

I assume this is a home made machine? Painfully slow for a wood processor, but perhaps still faster than all of those steps done individually. If he got a much faster winch, a sharper chain with maybe more RPM and leverage on the saw, and split while winching, output would be dramatically improved.

 

[Corey]

Probably homemade, and it does say 'Poor mans...' so it could easily be from scrounged parts, etc. Sounds like it may be powered by a briggs lawn mower engine. Plus it is somewhat of a science to get hydraulic components which all 'work' together... you can easily get too big of a cylinder, too small an engine, or a mis-sized pump. Best thing to do with that would be to part it out for cash, then buy a nice saw and splitter.

I got drunk and sober before the saw hit the log !

I cant believe I watched the whole darn thing without crying.

That wood will rot before it gets to the end of the processor.

 

[PapaDave]

I took a nap.
Seriously, I'm not real quick but could have had that 1st log c/s/s by the time he got it to the fine example of a saw that was mounted.

 

[geoff1969]

well i suppose the slow processing time will give the other trees plenty of time to grow and mature before he gets to starts working on them ......

 

[Prof]

The good thing is that the tree regenerated from the stump before he was done processing it. Now that's sustainable forestry practice!

 

[Backwoods Savage]

Wood is seasoned before he is done with one log! I wonder how many books one could read while putting up wood like that?

 

[Seasoned Oak]

This is more like it
About a cord an hour

[Wildo]

Wow I sobered up and had to recharge while watching that..... It is very low impact by the looks of things. Maybe he can't do what he used to/has all the time in the world.

 

[jeff_t]

Meh. The guy built it, and it works. More than I could accomplish.

The chain looks like it's throwing decent chips, just looks like it is moving painfully slow.

 

[Jags]

I didn't even make it to the point of the log hitting the ramp.

 

[Sean McGillicuddy]

Thank God for ff
I wander if he uses a cup when he uses the small log lift, that would hurt!

 

[BrotherBart]

If he wants to give it to me, I'll take it.

 

[Pallet Pete]

So would I and then take it apart and weld up a porch swing with a winch for auto swing to rock me to sleep !
