COMMENTS: - - The first one is for showing off as well as any of the very expensive commercial machines. I take my hat off to the creative fellows. But I salute the gentle man who designed and built the combo buzz saw firewood pump in grey! His wifey walking in the background has wise man for a hubby..

I can't belive a person would spend that much money on a verticle splitter that you have to crawl around on the ground to operate

8:30 That grey one with the buzz saw and splitter built in one, is one of the few that are substatially faster than a couple guys with axes AND MUCH less labour intensive ... if I was still heating mainlt with wood I'd make up that one ..

Last winter (I'm in Canada) we saved about $600 on home heating costs JUST by buring scrap lumber, a few dozen skids, and some garbage furniture .. we didn;t put the gas furnace at all until January

And I do everything in the old fashioned way, in the forest I saw a curing agent, oak, ash, acacia, with a home-made 80 cm hacksaw, logs up to 45 cm in diameter, and I ride home 2-3 pieces on a bicycle. At home, I saw a saw with a Makit electric chain saw, and I split it with a cleaver. 15 m³ per year.

The first one seems kind of useless. It cuts a log in half and that log must be less than a certain length. I would think it would be faster to take a chainsaw and do the whole log down the line instead of cutting it into pieces twice as large as you want and then putting this machine together to get them half that length
