She looks pretty good to me. If it runs it beats a maul.


Life sure is tough when you don't learn from the mistakes of others.

I built my first splitter from scrounged parts and scrap iron. If it splits it the berries to me.

you might want a set of these https://www.hlsproparts.com/product...8mGcGcNfRN3a9yCBjetXv3QMIgRoCELYQAvD_BwE

and lift that spliter up so it is at a comfortable working height about 3-4 inches below your belt

with the outfeed like that a table to catch the splits if you can make it just a touch higher than the tail gate your truck even better , makes a difference to only lift it once onto the splitter

the older I get the more likely I am to noodle the big ones with the chain saw than wrestle with them at any height

I used to wrestle them into my splitter that flips vertical.
now I get them to the size I can lift them with the tongs onto the splitter

I like to work from trailer or tailgate

in my old truck I would take the saws and truck cut a round and set it as a step to step up on the tailgate . I had side boards and would noodle the pieces so that I could pick them up then wal 2 at a time up and into the truck

then at home I could park next to the wood shed and put the splitter up to the tailgate , pull a tailgats worth of wood down , split and toss the splits into the wheel barrows and when they were full stack

I need to bend over once to pick up the log and get it in the truck everything else was standing

now I have a topper again and am back to the trailer I used when I had my van

I load the trailer with rounds and 1/4s that I noodle much like I did the truck , but only a single or double lair the traioer is a little lower than the splitter but not by alot I split from the trailer into the wheel barrows then stack

I think the best tool I ever bought is my wood splitter. After splitting wood with a maul and wedge or ax for almost 40 years.
If it works, it is a beauty.

As long as it runs and doesn't spray you with hydraulic oil, I'm cool.

Hey now, that hot oil helps keep your hands warm when it’s cold.
