@landlightning Yeah i under stand

@WillBrownell95 Yes, I understand that the boken pieces will likely be chipped, but what I'm trying to explain, is that since the original purpose of the logs is most likely lumber, any piece that cannot be made into lumber is therefore a waste, even if it gets chipped and used in the end. Does that make sense?

@uberlogger I love processors but thats the way they do it old school

@landlightning See yeah most solid wood is used for lumber here to but if what you say is true then what becomes of the wast after the cutting process is done they chip it then sell the wast to the pulp mill so either way it is getting used

buncher...walking way to slow and looks like hes doodlin around looking for trees to cut? walk+cut= higher cut and the chains on the grapple seem a lil looser than should be...

@WillBrownell95 Because it's not going to be used for its original intended purpose, and okay, you got me there, I can't say 100% for sure that its intended purpose is saw logs, but where I come from, it would be. Around here, the saw mills that make lumber out of S/P/F aren't interested in making chips, that's done by the pulp mills, and those same saw mills would easily use the logs in this video for lumber, even if they could only get one 8 foot 2x4 out of it. Done it plenty of times.

@landlightning How do you consider that wasting its being used for paper and most paper that is produced is used for boxes. and it all depends on the type of wood ok say it was spruse the chips are worth more than the lumber because the wood is a low class wood so no one wants to cut it they would much rather chip it and by the size of the wood how do you know that its not a load of bolts they are used for palet lumber bolts are 8 foot saw logs

@WillBrownell95 I meant "wasteful" in the sense that less board-feet of lumber can be made from a broken tree, and since lumber is worth more than chips, it is wasteful. Yes, the pieces will be used for chips, but it's still discarded as a saw log. That's what I meant. What could have been a 2x4 instead becomes chips, and that is a waste, even if the chips are being used in the end.

@landlightning No yeah they deduct money but every thing is used but the limbs other wise all of the wood that is no good for lumber is chiped and sold to a paper mill witch is made in to paper every thing is used including the bark. the bark is chiped died and used for that stuff you put around your house

@perki1952 no it looks like pulp but it could be bolts pulp is wood chips for paper and bolts are cut up in to short lumber for palets
