Log Blocking and Splitting

What happens here

Once large tree trunks are felled and limbed, the process of converting them into firewood begins. First, use a chainsaw to cut the large logs into smaller, manageable lengths, typically 16-24 inches, suitable for a fireplace or wood stove. These shorter segments are known as 'blocks'. Then, use the Kubota KX040-4 mini excavator to efficiently move these heavy blocks to a log splitter. Position the blocks onto the log splitter, such as a Dirty Hand Tools 22-ton log splitter, which will mechanically cleave them into smaller, burnable pieces of firewood. The split wood can then be piled for seasoning.
