    Nice log pile.


    A suggestion, or at least what I do:

    The rounds you have aren't real large and can be moved quite easily, so. Take the rounds to the stacks and set up the splitter. Split and stack directly into the stack so you only have to handle once. Rather than get round on splitter, split, load trailer, unload trailer and stack.

    Give it a shot, seems like there is way less handling that way. Handle 1 round twice vs handling say 6-8 splits twice.

    The only downside is having to clean up splitter trash by the stacks, but that isn't a big deal either.

    You have a nice, efficient operation there and some nice stacks too. I would love to be able to cut and split at the same place. As it is, I have to handle each log 3 times before splitting.

    Well I finally made it back down to my log pile today for a little work. Have not been cutting much the last couple of weeks due to hunting season. I just took the 4 wheeler, little trailer and the 460. I cut three trailer loads got them split and stacked as well. I figure about another half cord and next years wood is done, then on to '17-'18 wood.:yes: 20151025_095030.jpg 20151025_124741.jpg 20151025_142426.jpg
