Compact Tractor

I looked at one, talked to the guy but he told me you need more power than a compact tractor can provide. You need a fair bit of grunt to smash that stuff up.

I use a branch logger rated at 8.5cm with my "crappy chinese" 30 hp compact.

 

You don't need that much hp, with the right pully ratios you can run one off an electric motor. Someone's pullin your leg.

this was the thing I looked I looked at, only half seriously, I forget how it worked exactly but you pot the branches in and it cut and split them then put them on the belt, it could be adjusted to do kindling as well, it ran straight off a pto, the flywheel was quite heavy, so it needed a bigger tractor or the "tail would wag the dog"

Maybe your right, I can't see why the seller would liee to me though.
