Not seen a convertion like this before. Fairly impressed here alright :thumbup1:I Presume that is just a standard harvester head with a home made wedge bolted on one end.

 

the only minor down side looks like the operator can't manipulate or adjust the wedge.

 

Don't know a thing about timber harvester operating, but with all the tech that's out there nowadays, i assume you can set the feed wheels to jig in and out like that at a given distance automatically? If so even better

 

Absolutely wicked.

Nokka make something similar but using stroke feed rather than rollers (so doesn't need a computer so could be mounted on more stuff easier)) and with an adjustable 4 way knife. Saw one at a show in Germany last year but can't find any info online at all so all I can thik is the idea never took off

 

I thought it could be ace on the right stuff

Good idea. Only trouble is harvesters run 404 chain and will turn most of your expensive firewood into sawdust and fire said sawdust all over your yard.
