This machine is a forceful clearing tool that practically demolishes any wood that comes its way, irrespective of the species or trunk diameter. Here's an additional piece of equipment engineered for fieldwork.
Rather than displaying the entire machine, we're focusing on a specific attachment that's typically used alongside an excavator. However, the model we're highlighting, the Timberline Tree Shear, is more suitable for a mini loader. This attachment is a product of Sydney Manufacturing and is praised for its versatility.
For instance, with this shear, you can chop down a tree trunk, flip it over, and even say it into several pieces. The Timberline Tree Shear is an enhanced version of a prior similar model. It boasts a 20 to 40% increase in cutting power compared to rival models, leading to heightened productivity.
But that's not its only selling point. Professionals highly favor this model for its swivel feature, which allows the shear to be rotated in either direction, expanding the scope for cutting and moving operations. The Timberline Tree Shear can manage hardwood trees with a diameter of up to 15 cm, and when dealing with coniferous trees, the diameter limit increases.
Generally, the shear can open wide enough to encircle a 55 cm trunk. However, the manufacturer emphasizes that the final outcome will depend on the specific tree species. If you're still manually chopping firewood, you might want to consider investing in the equipment we're showcasing today.
The contemporary market offers a vast array of firewood splitter models, but we're spotlighting the machinery produced by Posh Austria. The first model is the Spal-Fix S3770, which is robust yet straightforward to handle. Both log feeding and the cutting processes are joystick-controlled.
The machine completes an entire cutting cycle and can handle large, lengthy tree trunks. An integrated circular saw blade slices the log into sections, which are then forced through metal grates to split the trunk, producing ready-to-burn firewood. The split logs are then moved by a conveyor belt into a storage and transportation container.
The Spal-Fix S3770 can process logs from 10 to 37 cm in diameter, handling any species with a force of up to 15 tons. In contrast, the Poly Horizontal Wood Splitter, a new model this fall, boasts a more compact size, making it ideal for private use.
