Processing big timber

[hawk eye]

I've got some big timber to process into logs which is to big for the processor. i.e 30-40 inch oak butts. Just wondering whats the best way to process into logs, was thinking of getting a long splitter to cut them down so they can go through the processor. Has anyone any experience of the cone splitters etc?

 

How you others get around processing big timber?

 

Thanks in advance for any help on this one

Hi we would ring it then put it through the vertical splitter.

Jas p wilson do various cone splitter sizes, ask them if they have sold any in your area, and perhaps you could see a demo, or get someone with one to whip over them.

Is how we break down big butts for loading on log deck then through Palax:

If all else fails go old style and noodle them then split em

A friend of mine bought a new concrete pecker for his 360 and decided to try it out on my oversize stuff, prob 20 inch diameter, and it split them no problem.

Split them into 1m lengths then they can go across a saw bench or through a processor

surely 30-40" butts should be milled in to boards. it looks like you could get some nice wood out of trees like that.

 

why turn 1-2 hundred years if growth in to firewood???
