I have seen similar splitters and all of the were custom made that worked well or prototypes that only worked with perfect wood. I have an adjustable head 4 way on my 3-point 24-ton tractor mount that is 30+ years old.
There has to be something off frame that this guy is trying to protect. I wouldn't even spend the gas it takes to protect that stubble field. Let it burn and it will be ready for sowing in a couple weeks.
You don't live in nor have you ever lived in a fire prone area, I can tell. Fires don't self contain or just quit burning if there's dry fuel available. They can spread over thousands and thousands of acres, but you knew that, right?
Same course of action near me just about the first of September. A combine caught fire, and started a stubble fire. Most of the thousands of acres of other fields were dry, unharvested. The RFD was slow to deploy, as they have jobs and harvest. If one of the guys didn't do this very thing, that fire would have grown and made national news. Discing a few fences in the course of action is a small price compared to the losses the other properties would suffer. You have to understand how community and responsibility works.
Wish I could find the story...there was a fire back in Molalla some years back and some farmers in the area just got out there and took care of business. They were ready. Somebody had a water truck, another guy had a bulldozer, and they achieved containment in their own neighborhood at least.
That firebreak in #7 looks fine to me. It might not solve the whole problem, but it'll give the guy a little time to think up his next move.

ReplyDelete#7...Kudos to that farmer for tryin', but that crop is lost.
ReplyDeleteLooks to me like he's doing a pretty good job of salvaging what's left as well as saving any structures that might've been in the path.
