Woodland sawmills and processors

[kevin j]

Saw a reference in FarmShow.com to small processor from this Canadian company

As an engineer, I see this really nicely thought out and detailed in design, and pretty cheap, and includes an outfeed conveyor.

Downsides:
1. Clearly for northern climates, straight small trees I think it was 16 inch maximum.
2. No log lift or table, but for the intended market and log size, it could work.
3. 12 tons, 3 or 3.5 inch cylinder too small for many people, but appropriate for the log sizes.

Not for me, but I did get some nice ideas and appreciate the machine and its specialized market.

That thing is pretty lame. I can split a half cord an hour with my POS Home Depot splitter and figure about 30 minutes to buck it up. For $6k you can do a lot better. It really does not look like a much easier process either, especially when it looks like the splits it produces need to be split again.

6k isn't bad. My processor was about 40k to compare.
As with anything, bigger is $$$$.

I'd love to have the big 70" blade Mulitech, but don't have $130k sitting under my mattress.
