16-Way "Multi-Wedge" Log Splitter
"Our new wood splitter is equipped with a 16-way multi-wedge design. It can split wood that's up to 16 in. in dia., into 16 pieces no larger than 3 1/2 in. sq. And it does all this in one pass," says John Smith, Built-Rite Mfg. Corp., Ludlow, Vt.
The wedge is also an option on the company's hydraulic-operated, pull-type wood processor, which is designed to cut logs into firewood length and then split them. The operator sits in a chair and controls all operations.
The wedge uses two different sized splitting rings, one located just ahead of the other. The first ring splits the log into four pieces, and the second ring splits it into 12 more pieces. A round steel plate, operated by a large hydraulic cylinder, pushes the log through both rings.
"It allows you to make small pieces of firewood without having to re-split," says Smith.
Two splitter models are available. One model has a 24 hp gas engine; the other a 33 hp diesel engine. The gas model sells for $11,450; the diesel model for $14,450. The wedge is also offered as an option on the company's models 50 and 86 SCP firewood processors.
