Firewood prosessor

[Tor Arne]

Hello everyone. I'm pretty new to the forum, will apologize if anything I say makes no sense since I was not born English speaking. well I have quite a long time played with the idea of building a firewood processor.
Really liked the splitting wedge to this machine. But would rather go for a chainsaw bar and chain instead of blades, what do you think? Sending a picture of the parts I have gathered. Since I do not have a work place other than mother nature, Eeverything depends on Temperature if I get something done soon. I am planning what I need, ordering parts and scratching my head for now.

welcome to tbn. you english was fine. looks like you have a start on some parts, hydrolic valves and motors, saw bar/chain. sounds like a very interesting project. i wouldn't mind having a firewood processor myself as i have a small firewood business over in the united states. compared to a firewood processor i do everything the hard way. good luck with your build and keep us updated and pictures are nice.

Did you check the commericial manufactures sites? I see you have chosen a Husky chain bar. Is it the strongest grade that can be bought as the bar is going to be running for many hours. There is a grade of chain called ( Harvester ) that is used in forestery machines.
I bought a new Husky chain saw 2 years ago, maybe a 440?? model on a 16" bar and it is very nice.
What nick names do you call Husky saws in your country?

Your English is fine.

Hey thanks for the reply. Yes I have seen various commercial firewood processors and either; I do not like them, do not fit my use, not sold in my country or they are too expensive. I want a machine with cab, heater and its own diselmotor so I do not tie up a tractor. Thinking of something like Rapido Loco with the splitting wedge from the video link in first post.
Bar is 24 "bar and chain is the toughest quality I could find. Here in Norway the saws ar just called husqarna, and those who truly love them mostly call them with the woman name Erna. Had planned to make a clutch system, so chain only runs when necessary

You mentioned clutch for the chainsaw, and if you are talking about a hyd chainsaw, then a solenoid valve motor spool will only run the chain saw when a switch is activated.

Hey thanks for the input
Thought I'd use a mechanical clutch and belt drive since hudraulik high RPM motors are expensive and I have a clutch from a suzuki samurai, was thinking of turning a thick-walled tube, which I mounted flywheel, bearings and pulley. Then a shaft with bearings, clutch disc and pulley to the saw. Or does anyone have any other ideas? All suggestions are appreciated
