Log Splitter Equipped With Buzz Saw

Log Splitter Equipped With Buzz Saw WOODLOT EQUIPMENT Miscellaneous “I built this pull-type log splitter and buzz saw together on one machine so I can quickly cut up smaller logs and branches with the saw and run bigger logs through the splitter ” says Harold Schenk Evansville Ind The 2-wheeled rig’s mainframe is built from an 8-ft long 10-in I-beam The shaft-driven 30-in dia buzz saw mounts on back of the I-beam and splitter on front The splitter is equipped with a 4-way wedge that’s operated by a 4 by 24-in hydraulic cylinder Both the saw and splitter are powered by separate 3 hp electric motors that drive hydraulic pumps A “tilting table” that’s hinged at the bottom is used to operate the saw “I place the log on the table and push the table in then saw the log off and bring it back to repeat the process It’s a quick way to make firewood and works a lot faster than using a chainsaw ” says Schenk “I can cut up an 8-ft log in a few seconds ” He uses the rig in woodlots located close to his house “At first I used a gas engine to power the unit but when I moved to town I wanted to use it inside my heated garage so I switched to the electric motors I like them because they don’t slow down under load like a gas engine does ” says Schenk The splitter-saw is equipped with a ball hitch on front It rides on automotive tires and is equipped with a single 4-in caster wheel on front making it easy to push around by hand Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Harold G Schenk 248 S Tekoppel Ave Evansville Ind 47712 ph 812 425-0619
