   A log splitter is a piece of machinery or equipment used for splitting firewood from softwood or hardwood logs that have been pre-cut into sections (rounds), usually by chainsaw or on a saw bench. Many log splitters consist of a hydraulic pump or electric motor which then powers a hydraulic or electrical rod and piston assembly.

   Log splitting is the act of splitting firewood from logs that have been pre-cut into sections (rounds, bolts, billets [3]). This can be done by hand, using an axe or maul, or by using a mechanical log splitter. [4] When splitting a log by hand, it is best to aim for the cracks (called checks), if there are any visible.

   A common danger for inexperienced splitters is to miss the upright log entirely or give it only a glancing blow. If the maul lands beyond the log, the maul handle may either bounce or break. If the maul lands in front of the log, it may hit the feet of the splitter if they are in a closed stance.

6. Logging truck - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logging_truck

   Solid, low pressure and high pressure tires have been used. As many as nine axles may be used to provide low ground pressure and good traction. [6] Timber is commonly grown in hilly country unsuitable for farming and so the ability of a log truck to climb a gradient is significant. The steepness depends on the quality of the surface - mud and ...

7. Wood fuel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood_fuel

   The particular form used depends upon factors such as source, quantity, quality and application. In many areas, wood is the most easily available form of fuel, requiring no tools in the case of picking up dead wood, or few tools, although as in any industry, specialized tools, such as skidders and hydraulic wood splitters, have been developed ...
