We are going to install a nice wood burning stove in the family room - very efficient heat for the winter - vents from the outside so you get total + heat. Eats very frugally too.
Anyway - this is 60 acres of mostly pine but also hardwoods - and I want to get a log splitter to process firewood. I have a tractor and want a PTO-driven unit. There's no auxiliary hydrolic port on the back - is on the side and hooked to the front end loader and I'd rather just have a PTO driven unit.
I have found that there are some cool, cone-shapped drill splitters - one that goes on an auger to replace the auger blade and others that are complete units - one is from the UK, but is too expensive. The auger one would allow me to get a used auger for around $500 and have that too. http://theatomsplitter.com/cms/
My buddy may have an auger... if he does, I'll definately buy the atom splitter and share with him - he's got lots of oak on his place and more downed trees than he knows what to do with = has offered that I can have all I want.
I also found a really nice one that hooks to the PTO and has a 4-way splitter head: http://www.timberwolfcorp.com/log_split ... t.asp?id=7 I am afraid to find out how much this one costs... but I really do like it. (I bet over $2K...)
Any comments, ideas, leads to something better? I know there's some timber men on this board.
