Homemade Hydraulic Log Splitter Making Firewood

Springtime firewood processing time. All the trees were hauled in on my homemade 4x4 UTV and homemade timber trailer. Wood is split on my homemade (yet to be finished) prototype wood splitter with hydraulically adjustable wedge height and hydraulic log lift/table. The log bucking process could be changed from manual chainsaw work to a log table with bucking feature so the bucked wood would fall onto the wood splitter and get split immediately (a firewood processor basically). I really don't like bending over while bucking, relocating and then lifting the bucked logs onto the wood splitter again. A log table will be another future project maybe? Let me know what you think in the comments. This video is the first 4K trial on this channel so bear with me. Cheers!

    I like this splitter much better, than the last one with the chain saw on it. It is so simple and will likely last a lot longer.

    You should get a hookaroon. It'll let you pick up or move the bucked wood without bending over. We recently got one for our firewood operation, and it's been a total back saver!

    Those Carbide chains can be very expensive. Often they don’t go blunt, but the link pins wear and they stretch and you end up throwing them out because the pitch lengthens so much it starts to wear drive and tip sprockets excessively. They have their place, but most professional foresters don’t use them.
