Then we come to a class of log splitters where common sense exits stage left. These are flywheel splitters, sometimes called widowmakers. The winner for scariest machine we’ve seen this week goes to [Jack Dickson] and his creation “The Wheel of Debt” [Jack] turned a pile of steel scrap into a device which makes us cringe just watching it. An 8 pound maul head is welded to a built up steel wheel. The wheel is spun by a small engine through a belt and car tire arrangement. The relatively lightweight wheel must spin quickly to generate enough force to split logs. This video was Jack’s last upload, so we can only assume his creation eventually got him. ‘

“The operator is getting comfortable with the unit and there’s no question productivity is up,” Raschen said. “We’re getting more done than we did the other way and one man is doing more than what three men did.”

After the economy nosedived in 2008-09 and the Great Recession took hold, sawmills shut down, and with it loggers and the supply of logs. Timmins acquired a logging business to keep the firewood company supplied with wood. Then they began supplying packaged firewood to companies like Kroger and Tractor Supply on a national basis. Together, they operated the firewood business and then they added logging operations for about 7-8 years.

The log splitting technique to quarter the stalk is specific. The operator drills into one end to begin the split. The rotating cone then sweeps along the break toward the middle, cutting any remaining fibers as it goes. The operator repeats these steps from the opposite end to finish the log.

Producing the polyvinyl chloride and metals that are used to make artificial trees generates greenhouse gas emissions and other pollutants. China is working to reduce pollution from its chemical industry, but this may drive up the prices of those materials and the goods made from them.

Wood chipping machinery provides a biodegradable disposition of waste wood from forest, parks, gardens and recycle it for various industries such as forestry, construction, paper and pulp, energy sources, and agriculture. Operational capability on a wide range of power and easy availability of wood chipper machinery are likely to influence their adoption in variegated industries.

                Mounted on a skid-steer, the Halverson firewood processor picks up logs with its forks/front arms, and the log is rolled onto the in-feed table. Once in position and secured with a the grabber arm, a high-speed bar saw is activated. When a block is cut, it drops into the splitting trough. The log table, which is mounted directly on top of the splitting ram, moves the log into the next cutting position while simultaneously splitting the block. The processor can cut wood into lengths up to 22 inches and handles timber up to 16 inches in diameter. Blocks can be split into 4 or 6 pieces, depending on the choice of splitting heads. Although it is designed for a skid-steer loader, some customers choose to attach the processor to an excavator or tractor. The Halverson attaches via a common skid steer mounting plate.
