    Thanks, I’m liking it. Hoping time treats those lightweight pallets nicely :) There’s only two screws to remove to pull down each bay. Was planning on using none but it’s so much easier to put up with them.
    I have quite a few of those pallets. Almost two trailer loads I took home,,,,,,neatly stacked not tossed like my wood :) Should be able to get more. Still have some other six footers which are stronger slats. Would need to strengthen the sides tho. Not a problem. Push come to shove I might build my own pallets.
    Have the log arch to move logs to the splitter. Push button easy. ;)

    couldn’t help myself. Had to move that conveyor back a touch and pile it high. Welded the retaining nut on the log splitter front tire system this morning. Went from 9/16” to a 7/8”. This one should hold. Dragged another pine log into the woods and brought home two red oak on the way.
    Time to back up and add another set of pallets.

    old log arch I bought on FB. Added an electric winch and the rims are from a Suburu WRX I believe. Just upgraded the tires to roll in the woods a little better. More sidewall more shock absorption.

    Better go with a 16 or 20 foot conveyor. Mine is 20’ without paddles.
