I was looking for one for a while but everywhere was sold out of them. Would be very handy in certain situations. Like the back of the ATV so I stop sparking my chain on hidden rocks! Last I recall, they weren’t being made anymore so I stopped looking but I guess that was some bad information. Thanks for posting this.
9” wood isn’t small. You still have to be able to lift the log onto the device. It could prob handle a shorter length of 10-11”, but they have to pick a safe number where customers aren’t breaking them with 12’ long logs and wanting refunds. I think it’s a great idea.
The worst part of any of those solutions for processing small-diameter wood is having to pick up the pile after it's all cut.
I've been thinking of this attachment. Jon is right, once you cut the wood it falls to the ground. The thing that bothers my back the most is bending over for extended periods of time to cut logs on the ground. Therefore... I'm thinking of building a 3 point hitch sawbuck. Thread to come soonish.
If I had a lot of tall straight 9 or 10 inch on one end logs to cut it might work but too much of the smaller stuff I have is (very) crooked oak branches and crooked stuff is where you might get into trouble with that device. There are some similar stand alone too. Again, if you have the feedstock for it, it might be worthwhile.
So, now I get to pick up a "heavy" log, load it into the "tool" then pick up all the pieces after I cut them. Does not sound time saving or easier to me. Now if it faced forward over the bed and all my cuts fell into the bed, maybe. Firewood is a lot of physical labor no matter how you do it.
