    After splitting a pile of elm and moving another pile of rounds onto pallets inside my fence I’m only halfway done. Elm rounds sure are heavy when green. Then I have to stack it all. That’s enough for me for today. I’m tuckered out and drenched in sweat. Thank God for hydraulics though. I’d sure never attempt elm by hand. Time for lunch!

    Great looking pile of Elm! I know I always say it, but I grab all the Elm I can get. I have plenty of room to let it season. It splits great, when dry. It burns like a son of a gun too.

    Nice pile of future BTU's. Nothing like a morning workout. Hope you had a good lunch.

    Great looking pile. Haven't started our splitter in over a month, maybe two. Looks like you have the Country Line, 25 ton? Had to upgrade our 25 ton with the 30 ton after a fire.

    Yes, had my countyline going on 5 years now. No complaints. It’s been a workhorse.

    Some parts were, some weren’t. The rounds that had knots were very stringy, the straight grain parts not so much. But to try and hand split it….fagettabout it!
