Log Cleaver
 ✖  |
New from Norway is the Log Cleaver that cuts and splits wood with a giant dual-bladed chisel. The operator simply feeds logs (up to 12 in. in dia.) into the machine which, in a single stroke, simultaneously cuts off and splits logs of predetermined length (to a maximum of 24 in.) at the rate of 6 cuts per minute. It has a 25-ton shearing force.
"One man can cut and split up to 10 tons of wood per hour, according to the manufacturer. Power can be supplied either direct from a tractor (25 hp or larger) hydraulic system, or from a pto-driven hydraulic pump. An advantage of this type of cutting, when splitting green wood, is that a considerable amount of moisture is squeezed out, thereby reducing the time taken for the logs to be sufficiently dry for satisfactory burning. If the Cleaver is being used continuously, an elevator can be used to load the split logs into a truck or trailer.
