We have a firewood processor too, and that would work at a similar speed. Ours is connected to a tractor and think we are using larger and fully hardwood logs on ours. Probably no more fuel used though. I would say the main fuel use is in delivery, although to make it economic, you need to use fuel to cut, extract and process the firewood too.
When we started we used a chainsaw to cut the wood to length in a stand called a Buckingham Woodstation https://www.jocemetal.co.uk/page7.htm although I haven't seen anything of him lately, so don't know if he is still producing them. They are brilliant, and we still use ours for cutting the timber for the charcoal kiln. Splitting was by axe, and my job was to place the logs and then pick up the bits, as I am not that good at using a felling axe. Hard work, and limited to about 2 cu m a day because of the work involved. |
