    Have watched other more recent videos with this machine and I would have guessed it was commercially produced with how well put together it was. Now I know more why you are not afraid to modify it to your needs, such as the ramps on the back of the sled or the teeth on the clamp

    Like many here this was my first time on your channel. Your build is outstanding and your comments, demonstration, and improvements are great. I’m sure you will make additional improvements so please keep us updated. It would be awesome to know the details on the major components you used, controller, hydraulic motor, valve blocks, cylinders and anything more you
    Would care to add. This would help others create their own.
    A thought I have for my build is to include spring loaded paws, that help advance the log and retract when the table moves back.

  • @Alan_Hans__
    @Alan_Hans__ 2 года назад +22

    Very nice build. That white stuff on the ground looks really cold.
    With the log length thingy that you added you could now put a simple non return "valve" for the wood under the clamp. Some simple spring loaded spikes that the wood would push past in 1 direction but would get caught on when the splitter push plate is retracting would make for simpler control.
    Very skilled and with a nice workshop too. Subbed as I suspect you'll do other cool projects that I'd like.

    • @M.BJOERNSTROEM
      @M.BJOERNSTROEM  2 года назад +9

      Thanks Alan! Yeah, that's a good idea and easy to do. I've been thinking about automating it more in the future.

    • @timderks5960
      @timderks5960 2 года назад +4

      Couldn't agree more. The design is pretty good, but a springloaded clamp holding the log would speed up things by a lot. Similarly, I'd probably program the table to return to the "home" (cutting) position whenever the "extend table" button isn't pressed. With those two changes, I think this machine could be a very fast firewood processor.
      Also: It would be really cool if you could make use of it being attached to a skid steer, instead of just using it as a power source. Something like being able to pick up a log (or multiple) by moving the machine, and then processing them. If your power source is mobile and carries your machine, I'd say make use of it!

    @cjm6271 2 года назад +13

    This was the first video of yours that I have seen. I really enjoyed it. I will definitely go back and start watching some of your older videos too. I have one suggestion that might help gripping the log. Right near where you toothed bar comes down, you could weld a few "fish scales" on the bed that would effectively work like a cross country ski. It would help grip the log in one direction and allow it to slide in the other direction. Great job on the processor! And the video!

  • @markbrown9765
    @markbrown9765 2 года назад +5

    That's pretty sweet. I think you could add an adjustable stop for the log when the splitting ram goes forward. It would stop the log from going any further forward as the ram continues to slide underneath it. Then you put the toothed arm down, just like you're doing, and the log will always be the exact length set by the stop.
    :) and then I finished watching the video...

    You could add as box with a plus cut in it to push the logs a bit past the end of the plus blades. Maybe even 4 bolts to push the 4 parts past the cutting blade, around 1 to 2 inches or 30 to 60 mm past the front edge of the blades.

    @Elwyn525 2 года назад +2

    Thats quite an impressive thing you have managed to create and to get it to work productively. Conisidering you've got a few longer logs there is it beneficial to create an extended feeder rail of some kind, maybe something that can be detatchable so you only need it on when needed? I had thought if you had left your log grabber loosely holding it as it was fed in it might help but that may work out more of a hindrance. Either way, great videos and you're clearly a man of great ideas and ways to make them work out.

      Unfortunately, I don't have a wiring diagram to show. But the basics are; the control activates a relay which in turn activates the solenoid for the selected hydraulic function, so it's not particularly advanced.

      @@M.BJOERNSTROEM Hej, Tack för svar, har några frågor till ;)
      Har funderat på sågsvärdets infästning och smörjning. Din ser väldigt enkel och funktionell ut. Har du gjort den själv eller finns den att köpa från nån leverantör. Har googlat på det men inte funnit nåt lämpligt.
      I kommentarsflödet nämns att din motor är en f11-10 men att du så här efteråt skulle ha gått på en F11-5 istället för att som jag förstår det få upp varvtalet med tillgängligt oljeflöde. Med tanke på tillgängligt flöde i min maskin så är nog 5 kubikaren lämpligast. Vet inte exakt men kanske kan hamna runt 10 000 rpm.
      Dock stökigt att hitta drivhjul till den med 18 mm med kilspår. Drivhjul finns i uppsjö men för 22,5 eller 25 mm axel
      Försökt hitta nån bussning men det verkar svårt. Har du nåt tips, eller är det att tillverka egen som gäller?
      Förregling av sågfunktionen när klyvfunktion går och vise versa antar jag är elektriskt dvs. elstyrningen förreglar riktventilerna, eller styr ändlägesbrytarna magnetventiler i hydraulsystemet som förreglar de olika funktionerna?

    Cutting oil would help your drill bits. I wonder why you didn't align your splitter with the conveyor belt? A slight overhang of the end of the splitter over the conveyor belt and, perhaps, a little cage to prevent the split logs from bouncing off at the area where they fall from the splitter would have been my approach.

      A tip to get a cylinder to move faster if not having enough flow is to use a "regenerative valve".
