Unique wood processor

Not shown is the old hay elevator that Terry has converted to hydraulic power, this feeds the log to the saw as needed - operator controlled.

 

The saw rig is run from an old truck differential that is driven off the tractor pto, the emergency brakes are now independent, when the left drum is locked the saw blade runs, when the right drum is locked the splitter becomes operational.

 

Apparently it's safe to use, Terry's been using this thing for years.

By the looks of Terry's woodpile he wont need to cut more for the season.

 

Just below the wood screw there's a strong arm, the trees are cut into 3 ft lengths stood on end against the strong arm to keep them from rotating.

 

He did mention that you do not want your hand placed over the top of the wood as it splits. .
