Chansey,
We, who own these machines, know that Blockbuster processors are virtually problem free. We do know how to operate them and we have processed product at the rate and quantity advertised by the manufacturer.
I have seen, first hand, every commercially available firewood processor model sold in the U.S. operate, and have personally operated several of same; And never did any of the machines have the littany of problems you have described.
I do not believe that a commercially manufactured processor, made in the U.S. or Canada, would fail in its design and practical operation as you have stated.
