Makes me wonder how he makes and sells them for that amount...
I have seen videos of these things working and they look very dangerous! If you go this way be very careful. I wouldn't do it.

Probably on a CNC machine, using offcuts stolen from work!!!!!!!
Problem I see with something like that is how do you drive it into stumps with out them turning?
I made something similar for a couple of log splitters, for doing stumps, used a stub axle from a car ground to a taper, and bolted to an adaptor plate.
Worked a treat.

They look effective on softwood. Any evidence they work with Eucalyptus?
Seems risky anyhow.

So, a double start LH tapered thread.
Looks like fun - always wanted to try doing a tapered thread. 220mm may be testing the friendship on the TTA though.

I cut my jarrah firewood in 500mm lengths, and usually ~600 - 900mm across, sometimes bigger if it's there.
So, picking it up is not really an option...and splitting with a block splitter can be....problematic.
I think my bigger challenge will be stopping the little petrol engine spinning, not the timber rounds...
In my head I have the unit with cone on some kind of trolley, that I take to the round.
