[AT] pto powered woodprocessor

[Mike Obrecht]

Larry, these machines load on a cradle, go into a convayor, and have a hyd. 
chain saw and then drop into a splitter.  Some then elevate to the truck.  
Hud-son, Built-Rite, Timberwolf, Blockbuster, Palax, Chomper are a few that 
I have researched.  Some are complicated, but think that a lot of us are 
capable of building one with the "treasures" we all seem to accumulate.  All 
have web sites and are interesting if you need to cut a lot of firewood.  I 
do so I can heat my farm shop and work on my old tractors and equipment in 
the winter.  The heated floor makes my like working on tractors in the 
winter.

This site is the most interesting and simple design, i think.  
www.crdmetalworks.com.  It has a good vidio.  And is pto driven so I can use 
my tractors instead of servicing another engine.
