ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a transportable wood processing apparatus (10) for cutting, sorting and loading firewood and the like. A frame (12) is carried by wheels (14, 16) and includes a guide tongue (20) and trailer hitch (22) for moving the apparatus from location to location. A stop plate (42) sets the length of firewood which is cut by a reciprocating saw (38). A divider (54) is laterally offset from saw table (32) such that the cut firewood will fall either to side (58) or side (60) and be sorted according to relative size depending upon which side the center of gravity of the firewood lies. The cut firewood either falls into a feed conveyor (68) which then feeds a loading conveyor (70) for loading a vehicle or, if too large for direct loading, falls into a splitter conveyor (72) and is carried to a splitter table (74) for splitting with splitter (76). After being split, the firewood is placed into loading conveyor (70). Loading conveyor ( 70) is pivotally coupled to the frame (12) such that it can be rotated between an extended position for operation and folded back over frame (12) during movement from location to location.
