neat metre billet processor

[New Forest Firewood Co]

like the way it fires the billet at the operator....

 

looks a little over complicated to me. lots of shunting back and forth. compare it to a typical horizontal splitter and a chainsaw - much easier.

Keep it simple....

With regards to the operators control location, this is the beauty of the system. One gets a birds eye view for precise positioning of splitting chamber, both elevation of log and oscillation of wheel.

Flick forward to 1:37 for section on just the splitter element of processor in opening post. Really neat as stated previously stated.

I like the idea but not sure it would cope with the stuff we have over here like the chunk of oak I had to chainsaw off the posch today.

Didn't see the spec for above machine, but looks like a 20 or less ton ram, so yeah wouldn't cope with everything. Was that a split that closed around a 4 way or bigger knife on you? Must a been a pig of a lump.

 

One disadvantage on above splitter to the traditional hydraulically adjustable 4-way knife, is that ability to lift knife upwards as billet splits through allowing for better separation and fast shearing.

was a 4 way blade and about 3ft diameter and when finally got the thing cracked there wasn't a straight grain anywhere in it.
