If it's under 3/4" thickness the Flail Mower can do a very good job clearing saplings and shrubs. We have a few shorts we've posted showing it with those kinds of materials. For blades, you'd just use the standard/included Y-Blades for clearing shrubs and saplings.

You get a better first pass but if you want a cleaner cut and plan on going back over it a second time, then the extra speed on the first pass doesn’t hurt as much.

This is with the hammer blades.

Weight isn’t the best metric for measuring firewood because depending on the woods water content and species, you’ll get vastly different answers. We estimate 1-2 cord of firewood an hour, so 8-16 in an 8 hour day if you’re producing without any major interruptions. According to Google, a cord of firewood is usually 1+ tons. But I’m seeing answers anywhere from 1-2.5 tons per cord.

The number one thing we tell people who want to fabricate something for mounting is that there should be something in place to prevent downward pressure from being applied on the unit. Rammy has a customer that fabricated a mount that had a metal plate that rested under the snowblower, and the Rammy was connected to the plate instead of the hydraulic arm. That allowed them to press the plate against the ground without ever applying pressure directly to the snowblower. Food for thought if you ever decide to take a try at it.

Though this splitter arrangement is less productive, it produces more consistently sized/shaped pieces.

Bob no longer works with Metsa Machines.

This is currently $4,000 less than Japa’s disc style cleaner.

That was just the order the logs came off the rack. We definitely had the best logs towards the end of the video though.

This was with the Y-Blades.

@@MetsaMachines Ok, so everything being equal, if you went over it at the same speed, same day but had hammers instead, which type would you say would have yielded a finer finish? Or how would you say one is different than the other? Ty

The hammer blades are flat and wide blades, whereas the Y-Blades form the Y shape for mulching. We do have a video showing the hammer blades on a lawn: ruclips.net/video/NSypRydI0LU/видео.html You can get a very clean cut with the hammer blades. The Y-Blades have the potential for more variation because of the gap in the Y, but they work better on thicker grass/material. With really tall grass like this, we would recommend the Y-Blades first and then the Hammer blades to keep it more manicured. The best course of action would be to knock down the fields/trails you want to maintain, and then swap over to the hammer blades to avoid going back and forth between the different blades.

We haven't used the mill much recently, but we did realize our tension on the blade was off and that was causing various issues. We are hoping to do more with the mill in the future.

We haven't had any issues using it with the Gravely (ignoring the fact that we don't have a windshield on it). That being said, we typically recommend going slightly larger than your ATV/UTV if possible.

The trailer is made out of 1.5 mm thick steel, so about 16 gauge.

thanks

The snow model's dry weight is 185 lbs.

Max is 17 inches and currently that is their largest machine.

We do not offer a 10 or 12 way perfect split knife, but the largest pieces you see in the 6-way knife are at 3.5-4 inches, at the longest point. So the 8-way will be very close to the size you are looking for.

@@MetsaMachines Thanks 🙏

We’ve got pricing for the different configurations online here: www.metsamachines.com/product/japa-365-firewood-processor/

Thanks for watching! We are located near Merrill.

The stationary model would be trailered. The towable version can go down the Highway. We always recommend a log lift with the towable units because it makes them more functional for mobile processing, but the loglift also adds tongue weight which helps reduce sway. For reference, the 315 has been towed several hours away by a Jeep Cherokee without any issues.

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!

It’s been too long since we’ve posted last and we plan on becoming more active again. Thanks for watching!

The Y-Blades which come with the mower were used here.

Whichever it is he needs to switch them lol

The pro is a 420 cc engine, while the standard is a 306 cc engine. Moving forward, we are only offering the Pro option since that is by far the preferred option.

There are lips around the edge of the trailer which you could use for smaller straps. There aren't any loops or designated strap connections points, though.

Predominantly ash, we get a lot of it in Wisconsin.

The winch is meant to raise and lower the unit for transportation. While it is possible to raise it higher with the winch, doing so on uneven terrain where the unit may bounce a lot can increase the risk of the strap/cable breaking. It's important to go slow when the unit is suspended.
