Wood splitter


In the fall of 2006, our neighbor introduced us to a lady who has several quarter sections of land not too far from us. Her property has a lot of old spruce trees on it that died when we had a drought several years ago. She had a logging company come and take out the large trees on one quarter section, but when they logged the property, they left the branches, and the smaller trees they had to cut, in large piles. This quarter section is her pasture, so the cows don't mind, but she hates to see the wood go to waste. So, for the past two falls, we made several trips to her property with our trailer and chain saw, filled the trailer with wood and brought it home. The wood needs to be cut and split, so my husband purchased a blade for cutting wood and a stickler for splitting wood. He then built the wood splitter pictured here. This is still a work in process. He wants to redesign the wood cutting portion of it. It has a small hydraulic motor that runs off the hydraulics of the tractor.

A wood splitter is really a better working chop up when it comes to splitting wood logs. In older times people used to slam axe onto the tree logs while sitting on the tree's stump. This traditional way of splitting wood requires a lot of time and effort and at the same time it is also very dangerous too. The use of electric splitter makes the task mush easier, systematic and safe. However, it is necessary to take some safety measures in order to avoid any harm.
