If someone has a small amount of wood they'd like to split but don't want to spend a lot of money, there's options to rent processors as an alternative to purchasing.
[3] Typically a conveyor -chain or belt- pulls the split firewood away from the processor and into a waiting delivery truck's box or a woodpile for later handling.
Changing any one of these optimal variables (condition, temperature, size, species, number of splits, or length of round) will reduce the rate of output, making meaningful comparison between manufacturers' claims difficult.
While the definition is understood to be the time it takes the splitter ram to fully extend and retract, there is no consideration of force in this equation.
In proper terms, cycle time is simply a mathematical calculation of the size of a cylinder's bore, stroke and rod diameter, and the ability of that combination to act at a given flow of hydraulic oil in GPM.
The more traditional chainsaw bar setup requires constant oiling and frequent maintenance, but it is simple and familiar work.
Everything related to logging is dangerous, but eliminating a great deal of the need for workers to use chainsaws or wrestle heavy rounds onto a splitter measurably reduces the incidence of injury on these job sites.
