Knotty oak, elm, twisted crotch wood, rounds too big to lift — the pieces a 20-ton machine stalls on are the pieces this one goes through.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe machine \u003cstrong\u003econverts between horizontal and vertical\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is the feature that saves your back. Rounds you can lift go on the beam horizontally; rounds you cannot lift get rolled to the splitter and split standing up on the ground.
