On our home farm, we use wood biomass for heating. To a large extent, this is wood from our own forests, which we want to prepare in a safer way. One of the stages of wood preparation is cutting meter-long logs into shorter lengths. In this thesis, an overhanging saw was designed for cutting meter-long logs, suitable for a smaller tractor.
Existing solutions on the market were analysed and patents were reviewed. Based on the morphological matrix the best-rated concept was selected. The cutting force was calculated
and the most appropriate power transmission was determined. The machine design was divided into three sub-assemblies. The operation of all elements that are an integral part of
the sub-assembly were examined in detail 3D model of the machine was built. Finally, a cost analysis was performed and basic documentation was prepared.
