    This is a Clarke Log Buster. They are apparently a British thing from what I can gather. Wonder how many tons a 3.75 hp B&S can generate.

    I have to admit...I have never split vertical. Even when splitting big pcs I always do it horizontal.

    This one looks like a twin-screw design. Wonder how fast.
