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.

How come I’ve never learned about this device from
gangster movies?

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.
