No, it still is an issue, unless spitting limb wood that only needs one split...otherwise you have to pull the log back for another run through the knife...but yes, the splits can be pushed into a trailer or loader bucket, etc etc
If you you are processing large rounds, get a log lift. It's the only thing I wish my 37T had. I'm 67 and those rounds get heavier every year. Splitting vertically hurts my back, but sometimes I have to do it. Loading up the Lopi Mike in Okla
I made this to help cut thru the strings. T.Jeff Veal used a variation of this for one of his splitters. The goal is to keep the wood away from the foot to allow a full split.
I ended up getting the Oregon for a bit cheaper and got the 25 ton. Ran about 2 tanks of gas through it so far and works pretty well. I have some big stuff that will need to be in vertical to do. So we will see how they goes. Thanks for the advice all!
I usually advise to buy on sale/clearance to save a good bit of money. Sometimes Time is of the essence though.
If I didn’t have a super split I’d have a splitfire. A couple rental places around here have them. Very well built machines that have stood up well to a lot of weekend warrior rental abuse.
