My neighbor built a pretty nice one. It has a deck with feeder chains for piling the logs on. Hydraulic motors run the chainsaw blade and the only cylinders are the ones that split and the one that moves the cutter bar up and down. It even has a conveyor for throwing the wood on the truck after it gets chunked by the 4-way wedge. It's really something to see it work.
The problem is if you don't have a good supply of straight logs that are good enough for firewood, it doesn't help you. It seems like most culls are huge, short, hollow, rotten or have so much sweep they don't want to run through the machine. If you're only taking logs good enough for your machine and bad enough to be sawlogs, you're passing up most of the firewood.
If I had money to burn, I would buy one of those tempest splitters instead. We split most of our wood that way anyway since we can only take barkless wood over the state line where most of our market is. Can't justify spending $8000 on a splitter though.
