My father chopped up wood on this setup - John Deere Model B with buzz saw.

If you're looking for mulch and not fire wood... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYKg0gbRFns
Presumably you've got to leave the wood out so that the sub-freezing temps can make it more brittle, no?
Neat splitting technique but you won't find a native Colorado tree that will split like that.
Drooling over that log cutter-splitter attachment for the skid loader. I could use one of those.
I could probably get access to something similar to this...for $150 an hour. [Eek2]

My seasoned lodgepoles pop just like that, but it has to be very dry. "Kinda dry" takes a few swings.Quote:

Smaller than that it's not worth it.
Even cooler than the Bobcat model! Wonder how they're dealing with the finished pieces to keep them from piling up?Quote:
