wonder why he threw some to the side. I wish they would show inside that thing, I want one!
 
Love the idea - hard to tell, but seems to cut the rounds pretty short - otherwise, that's a damn fast operation! Cheers!
 
Strange to have so many small straight branches, strange to cut them so short, very strange. Probably cut them short to eliminate problems with crooks/bends. What are they going to do with them. People buy them?

Maybe regeneration harvesting - it was popular along hedgerows and to feed rocket stoves.

The length of the chopped pieces makes that grinder look like a modified injection molding sprue grinder without the screen.
 
Looks like from someplace over the big pond. They love their little stoves and little stoves take little wood.
 
That has to be some kind of softwood right?

I would love something like that for the smaller rounds.1" to 4" diameter branches/poles/saplings for kindling etc gets cut down with 25 yr old Delta cast iron miter saw.Much faster than any chain saw with its 1/8" kerf 40 tooth carbide tipped blade.

i looked at more videos. It is overseas somewhere where english is not the norm,,,by the comments after the videos. Other vids show how big of stuff they shove thru them,,some are bigger then that video, but still short length. I hate to think how many tree tops I have burnt that a machine like that could process.

You could put that stuff in an old corn crib to season,,then dump it in the stove from 5 gal buckets.

if you search YouTube for "Rębak" you will find some videos that show the insides

I use a stilh 192 in-tree saw. You can use it with one hand. It works really well for trimming smaller stuff when you get tree on ground. Cut wrist size limbs into 4 or 5 ft lengths haul them home and cut at wood shed.
 
I want one, but I'd surely always work it with bare hands and short sleeves!
 
ANSI listed? OPEI approved? ::-)


I wonder if it is adjustable for length of cut? Would be perfect if you could get a little bit longer pieces out of it.

Pretty cool.

Anything is adjustable when you build it yourself.
I'd imagine a drum with knives are the key to the operation. A large drum, or fewer knives, would make longer pieces.

not being your mother or nothing,,,but I never use a chainsaw onehanded,,,,never, ever.

I do want one of those little light weight beggers. Is it worth owning?
