For me, i would take either or, The dumpster wood would fit perfectly in my owb as is But on the other hand if I had a indoor stove, log length all the way just for the fact re-cutting small pieces kinda sucks without a jig of sorts Type of wood woulbe the ultimate factor though, log length of softwood compared to dumpster of hardwood or vice versa
$300 more is well worth knowing I can control the length of my cuts. But if it was all going in an OWB, I would go as cheap as possible.
For my OWB the dumpster would be the way to go, but having to cut all of them to fit into your stove I would go the extra money and get the tri axle... And I'm cheap
Well Im going with option 3. And skipping the triaxle and dumpster (for now) Stopped to look at the oak and hickory wood. (mostly oak) I knew I was in great company when I saw it all top covered, and the seller said he didn't have his moisture meter to show me the content. Said it was standing dead and most has been stacked 2 years +. He bucked it to 4'2" lengths, figuring it will shrink to 4' or so. Its already split, just need to cut to length. Drive right next to piles and load up, dont even need to back up with a trailer. An example. This stack is 30' long Not sure length of this stack. Estimating 16 cords total available
Whoa, you don't see too many peoples splitting 4 foot lengths around here. My uncle in Norway does, but they stack it in cubes, criss-crossed. Cuts to length in the Winter in the barn as his stoves use 12 inch splits.
Yup, option #3 is the way to go,. Git-R-Done! You taking all of it and what kinda price he make you on it?
I've read about folks doing the 4 footers but never seen it. Hoping I get to see the equipment and his method. I told him I'll take it ALL but it won't be done super fast because I don't have the equipment. He said it wasn't a problem. As far as price, he said the more I take, the better the price. $100.00/cord to start, not a screaming deal, but since I'm a hand splitter, having it split is a big plus. We'll see what the final cost is. But even if winds up being $100.00/ cord for all 16 cords, that averages to $400.00/ per year for heat for me. I can live with that.
I change my opinion to option 3 as well. Nice find and keep us updated! Id be curious as to how four footers are split.
Not a massive deal on the price but nice clean split wood that's easy to get at and at a average $400 a year heating cost from it you can't go wrong with that
Is that weight of the machine or hydraulic force? $ 100.00/cord for split wood isn't a bad deal imo. Cutting is more fun than splitting.
