    I didn't split too much. A few pieces of silver maple and a few pieces of ash.

    Actually I feel about 90%. It’s very odd as I never have had it this bad. Glad to be back in the woods and watching this forum!!!

    Admit it , you wanted hydro. One of the first steps in recovery is admitting that you have a problem.
    Dr. buzz-saw knows you have a no hydro problem.

    Sounds like you are trying to go from good to gooder!

    That thing would really be a big hit at one of our GTG's. Especially if things were a bit soft and wet. No more of this:

    Quick pull on some beech after lunch. Blowdown from last summer. Trunk is hollow, and about 25 ft tall. Good day in the woods 6E90BF8D-F3BF-4648-989C-0E48A49AD57C.jpeg FD21BCF0-52EB-434B-8DDF-548D61F5AA30.jpeg 75243836-8765-41C8-A950-98842943F331.jpeg 8C754670-4740-4680-8EBF-B0DB85A2EA51.jpeg 565D41BF-7B6F-479F-A0F6-BCF6EE521BC5.jpeg

    2016 855 D. It is a diesel, with a little grunt. I love it for moving the splitter, hoarding on semi flat areas, and many other things. It has more than enough power, but some of the hills are steep and it gets a little dicey. Zero issues with it since new also.
