    Couple more loads to haul home from this mission then back to the honey do list (reworking the kitchen a smidge). Have one more big maple and a pine to drop at this house but they will wait till later in March.

    What kind of splitter do you have? I split some big sycamore years ago with our 25 ton Yard Machine, gave it a fit...it does have the single step wide wedge. It was some stringy stuff. Good luck with the big rounds.

    This a thread from last year, just brought alive because of the sycamore thread. I have a 22t husky splitter and it did just fine.

    Been discussing my sycamore I am burning this year so thought I would resurrect this thread from when I hauled these biggins home. Pictures on the the first page.

    Burning pretty good, I would compare it to cherry or red/silver maple.

    I have some sycamore in the stacks, but been burning so much dead ash the last few years that I haven't got into my stacks, otherwise I'd probably have used some by now...first world problems, right?! :rofl: :lol:

    We really don't have sycamore trees around here, any here are just ornamental. I've never burned or collected any of it.
