Chainsaw Bar Mount - Log Splitter To Firewood Processor Ep. 4
Published 2 May 2020
Log splitter to firewood processor conversion. Taking an electric-hydraulic 7 tonne splitting force log splitter and converting it to a homemade firewood processor. The drawbacks of the current log splitter are the low height, single edge wedge and no firewood pan around the wedge so you have to constantly pick up pieces of wood you still want to split making the handling of the wood time consuming and annoying. Still better than splitting the wood with an axe though! Also you have to pre-cut the material you want to split. My plan is to put this log splitter on wheels, weld some steel to the trailer and around the wedge, add a log feed conveyor and a chain saw blade with separate electric motor and call it a firewood processor. It will make the firewood making process much simpler. Why haven't we done it sooner... It will take a log up to 3 m in length on the feed conveyor and a 35 cm cut log in the splitter since the stroke of the splitter is only 40 cm. I had to leave extra 5 cm wiggle room. But it's okay - our fireplaces are quite small. My sauna stove takes even as small as 25 cm firewood, and also my workshop stove. In addition to this creation I want to build firewood crates so we don't have to stack firewood ever again. And moving firewood will be as simple as that - just pick up the crate (with a machine) and deliver it wherever you want/need. No more re-re-re-stacking and unnecessary time consuming wood handling. Sounds like a TV commercial but it will be that good. Come along for the journey!

i am going to flagrantly copy thank you!
building it is thebit (and what we see) but figuring outis the hardest thing. 5
great!
it' s 10. 30pm here in sydney australia and i jumped on your video as soon as it came up.
cheers. 2
i don' t have the words to describe what i think of you, other than, you' re awesome!
i' m enjoying all your videos.
entertaining and.
keep up the cool builds and vids.
In case you didn't notice it, chain tensioning bolt is spinning at . Lock nut to fix that, maybe? 12
anyway in video realization,
also idea, way to do.
mr.
the processor i was using had a sawblade and was powered by a tractor. It was really noisy, and i had sawdust all over me afterwards. The amount of sawdust from the saw together with small splinters and refuse from the splitter was impressive. Unfortunatly much of the this stuck to the firewood. Some way of trapping this to getwood is something i would look for.
dearly looking forward to your next video in the instalment. Very interesting:
I think I saw the chain tensioning nut getting loose at minutes.
Waiting to see it complete with the oiling system.
Thanks.
greetings from germany. 4
nice progress;
i saw the tensioning screw turning in some of your testcut footage. Maybe a good idea to add a locknut there? 55
great project, great implementation. 4
an easily removable bin with a flap directing the wood chips into it from the saw
those are good for starting fires plus a bonus you wouldnt have a pile of saw dust where you were using your processing machine
