    While baby piney and the Mrs took a nap this mornin I snuck out back to split and stack a few loads of oak. Just a mix of red and white. I just toss em in the ranger then drive it right over to the shed. Did two loads and the humidity told me it was break time.

    Awesome, Love the setup that doesn't require bending over!

    Yes sir! Just drive to pile, roll em on the skid, then over to the splitter and roll em on. After I clear the first few rounds from the skid it doubles as a leaning post :thumbs:

    Man would that be nice. I still have to lift the round into my cart, but from there it is at working height until it goes on the stack. Just need some kind of small portable lifting device.

    Nice work. I do the same thing, use the Gator and it goes right on the splitter. :smoke:

    Did two Gator loads Saturday and I was soaked. That was enough for me....;)

    I got two more loads done after lunch and my dad showed up. That's enough for today. Of course the breeze started just after we called it quits. :loco: :crazy: Time for a few cold ones.

    Nice load. During the heat, definitely got to pace yourself.

    I picked one of these up a couple weeks ago, and its become my new right hand. Better, in fact, because it has 30" more reach than the old right hand. ;)

    Nice job 'piney - that's a great system.:thumbs:

    Love it. Great rule, once something is waist high, keep it there as long as possible!
