I got to run my friend’s processor the last couple days helping him get a stock of firewood for his business. Ladies and Gentlemen, meet the Blockbuster:

Full 8'+ logs get stocked on the table, then dropped 1 by 1 onto the feeder. On the feeder they go through the clamp/saw, which cuts them off at perfectly 16", then they drop into the splitter:

That bad boy splits them into perfect little firewood chunks.

That’s nifty! I could use something like that.

Though I do wonder how it might cope with some Australian hardw oods ...

We were running Oak through this without issue. He did say something about a hardwood that he wasn’t able to run through it........Elm maybe.......otherwise it absolutely demolishes everything he throws in it without missing a beat.

Because wood chippers are much cheaper and in stock at your nearest Home Depot.

Damn, wish this was in the equipment picture books I had as a kid. That’s nuts.

I believe that elm has a cross linked grain that makes it hard to split.
