(quoted from post at 10:05:30 04/10/15) Yes, but I have to warn you it is loud, long, and slow.This was his first use of the machine so much of the first 5 minutes is spent fooling with jammed chunks that the next log would have pushed out, and winching shortys is a lot more clumsy than with long ones as you need to set the choker 5 feet back.

It operates by using a guillotine blade to both cut, push through the splitter, and move the log once it has been winched to the machine, and also squeezes out a lot of the water. Once the initial settings have been made, it will run by itself untill the log runs out
In this one we were processing a bunch of short ones from trees that were near buildings and power and had to come down in peices from the top. The machine can handle up to 16 inch diameter. Many of my trees are over 3 feet in diameter and over 150 feet tall, like the one seen across the highway We did not setup the truck loading conveyor as we were only doing 6 trees. A guy downhill has a much lager one for sale but he want too much money for it
I see old cross cut saw all over here in the Sierras. most are not tractor driven but made from old cars.
I have a few more video on Youtube, searchable under the name "Arborigine",
