Mechanical Hydraulic Firewood Mill With John Deere Diesel! Learn How it Works!!

What happens here

The operator controls the firewood processor from a seated station, using foot pedals to control the log deck's movement (forward/backward) and joysticks to operate the grapple (back/forth, in/out) and the chainsaw (down/up). A special lever is used to reset the hydraulic cylinder in case of a jammed log. Safety is paramount, with operators warned to keep hands and arms clear of moving parts like the splitter and chainsaw. Eye and ear protection are essential due to flying debris and high noise levels.

Goal: Operators utilize a control station with joysticks and pedals to manage the processing machine, while adhering to strict safety protocols.
