Method and apparatus for splitting logs wherein logs are split by passing the same through between a pair of rolls at least one of which has wedge splitting formations around the periphery thereof. The logs are split from one end to the other as they pass through between the rolls, a crack being initiated in the log as it enters between the rolls and that thecrack progresses downthe log by the repetitive action of wedge splitting formations arranged one after the other around the periphery of the roll. There is also an improved method of logging wherein trees (either whole trees or delimbed ones) are split at or near the felling site and before transfer to a further location. Splitting results in a more compact load for transport purposes and pressure applied to the log results in a reduction in moisture content. |
