    Got out after work to prep some logs for the splitter. These are for boiler wood.
    Nice thick piece of Ash. That's the ported 044 with a 24" bar.

    Some Elm rounds on the ground as well. Best fire up the splitter.

    Sweet saw and set up! I can’t imagine the most perfect saw ever made being ported.

    Iron & Oak 22ton. The yardworks splitter I bought the pump started leaking so it's in for service. Found this on CL. One pull & works good. 20210911_185431.jpg 20210911_185442.jpg
