How much firewood can you produce with a single saw chain – without sharpening?

A long-lasting saw chain saves time, money, and effort – and Finnish customer Veljekset Pousi confirms this from firsthand experience.

Customer feedback speaks volumes: 140 loose cubic meters  with a one chain and no sharpening. That’s what Eeli Pousi from Veljekset Pousi told us when he reached out with a technical question and shared his valuable insights on using the Hakki Pilke 43 Pro firewood processor.

“I’ve processed 140 loose cubic meters of firewood with a single chain, without sharpening,” says Eeli Pousi.

Circular Blade or Chainsaw firewood processor? Breaking the Stereotypes

When choosing a firewood processor, many tend to opt for a circular saw firewood processor, assuming it requires less maintenance. However, the Hakki Pilke 43 Pro proves that modern chainsaw processors can be just as low-maintenance – even better – especially for professional use.

It combines intelligent engineering with real-world performance.

One of its key innovations is the AC 10 hydraulic chain tensioner, which keeps the chain at optimal tension at all times. In addition, the electric chain lubrication pump ensures a consistent supply of oil to the chain – even when cutting larger diameter logs. This not only improves cutting performance but also extends the lifespan of both the chain and the bar. And when it’s time to replace the chain, the process is quick and easy.

Carbide-Tipped  Saw Chain – Durability Meets Performance

For even greater longevity, a carbide-tipped saw chain is available as an accessory. When combined with the AC 10, electric lubrication pump, and a durable harvester bar, you get HakkiCut – a heavy-duty combination designed for demanding use, even when cutting dirty wood.

Veljekset Pousi Trusts Hakki Pilke – Finnish Quality That Makes a Difference

Veljekset Pousi is a long-time operator in the firewood business, and the 43 Pro is their second firewood processor from Hakki Pilke. Their previous model, the Hakki Pilke 1X37, served them reliably for over six years, processing thousands of cubic meters of firewood.

“When it was time to upgrade our equipment, the choice was easy. Hakki Pilke is a Finnish-made, dependable, and durable solution,” says Eeli Pousi.

From the customer’s perspective, the Hakki Pilke 43 Pro stands out for its overall efficiency and smooth operation. Key features include quick and effortless chain changes, automatic chain tensioning (AC 10), and reliable Finnish technology, combined with hydraulic control of the splitting wedge and easy splitting wedge replacement. These attributes make it an efficient and user-friendly choice for professional firewood production.

Efficient Firewood Production Requires the Right Setup

Veljekset Pousi focuses on producing clean and high-quality firewood efficiently – around 500 loose cubic meters per year. Most of the raw material comes directly from their own forest, with additional wood sourced externally when needed. Their entire production line is powered by a seamless Hakki Pilke setup consisting of the Hakki Feed 472 log table, the Hakki Pilke 43 Pro processor, and the Hakki Pilke Cleaner drum. Together, these machines create a smooth and productive system that ensures consistent, clean, and ready-to-sell firewood.

With the full Hakki Pilke production line, professionals like Veljekset Pousi can reliably produce top-quality firewood – which is exactly why they continue to choose this Finnish solution time and time again. When selecting a firewood processor, it’s important to consider the whole package. A hydraulic log table, a technologically advanced processor, and an efficient cleaning drum guarantee a clean and high quality firewood.
