Very interesting! I had not seen one of the 'rotary types' before. Also, the cut-off saw (platform and circular saw) seems to have fallen out of favor here in the USA, in favor of a hand held chain saw? Too bad.

Posch-splitters produces a range off splitters with cut-off saws on it. Cut a log to length and then split it in 4/6 or more pieces in once. I got me a Posch home splitter on 380V. It works perfect, splitting stroke from the cilinder is adjustable from 20- 55 cm. ANd with lowering or removing the split-table i can go up to length to 130 cm. Return of the cilinder is double the splitting speed. Works fast and silent, no exhaust gasses around :-)
Next to the splitter you see a small front-lift from an old international fram tractor. Was used to lift agricultural small equipment. I am thinking to build it on my 404 with a 24V hydro-unit to operate. Maybe a try a small pump with a Vbelt, i have some powersteering pumps around. With the lift i plan to transport the splitter. Has to make some adaptions on it to. Also i want the front-bumper to fit in the lift-arms. Thinking of a bumper that can be used as a small 'dozer blade'.
I have had and idea about using the front Schmidt mount and cylinder to operate a log splitter. It looks as if you swing the cylinder out to about 45 degrees, using the top left and right holes, you could mount a channel to cradle a good sized log. Add a splitting wedge part way down and use the cylinder to push the log through. Just an idea at this point, but maybe an inexpensive way into a splitter for those that already have a Schmidt plow frame and cylinder.
