Loader-Mounted Processor Grabs, Cuts And Splits Wood
 ✖  |
Imagine how easy it is to pick up a 10-in. long piece of uncooked spaghetti and break it into 5 or 6 pieces. Now, imagine doing the same thing with a 10-in., dia. 10-ft. long log? That’s what you can do with the new Timber Processor built by Quickfencer. You almost have to see the video to believe it.
The attachment mounts on a tele-handler or backhoe. It uses hydraulic power to grab, cut and split up to 14-in. dia. firewood logs in one motion. First the Timber Processor grabs a log laying on a horizontal surface, picks it up, then rotates it vertically. The log drops into a cutting chamber on the attachment, where a hydraulic knife shears off an 18-in. piece and splits it into 2 pieces. Two powerful 22 1/2-ton hydraulic cylinders maneuver the Processor and power the cutting and splitting shear. The maneuverability of the tele-handler allows the Timber Processor to perform its work over the top of a truck, a roll-off or a pallet bin. There’s no manual labor involved.
Quickfencer, the British company building the attachment, is taking orders from UK and European customers. Prices for the 1-ton unit begin at about $9,000.
Quickfencer USA, the company representing the product in North America, says no timetable has been given for a U.S. introduction. You can see a video of the processor in action at www.farmshow.com.
