    That's what my wife said when she saw another 5 loads of rounds from up the hill stacked today. I got the last round off just as the rain began. Splitter time tomorrow after I get, you guessed it, more gas for the splitter!:D

    Nice that you beat the rain! My splitter :axe:runs on coffee!:coffee:
    How long will it take you to split all that if in one session? How much gas in a full tank and how long will it run on one Ralphie Boy ? Keep in mind ive never used a splitter before so just curious.

    Brad, some engines are more efficient than others. The predator 6.5 hp that replaced the Briggs 5hp sips gas compared to the Briggs, and it's got way more power, plus starts easy. I think I think I can split about 3 cords of wood on a tank on that chonda. 1/2 gallon or so tank so it's not huge.

    3 to 4 hours depending how many times I stop to make a cup of tea!:p
    Maybe 1/4 to 1/3 of a gallon and it will run a bit longer than I can without a fresh cup of tea.:D
    Well, that probably didn't help much did it!
