Atom Splitter AKA "Wood Destroyer"

    Collected too many BIG rounds at my wood/chip dump over the years. Got tired of working around them. Thought about loading them up and trucking them out but the $550 price tag on the splitter was a cheaper option. This thing is a beast on my Dingo. Destroyed some big 2-3' aspen rounds and some 3-4' maple crotches in no time.

    Do the rounds try to spin?

    If you don't keep down pressure on the rounds they will.
    Or trying to split on cement/flat surface.
    I split 3 - 4+ foot in diameter and 3-4' long maple crotches like nothing.
    My old mans OWB takes 52" wood so this splitter is the catsazz.
    The more I run it I'm finding knotty green wood is tough splitting. If its been laying for a couple years no problem.
