    I took it off I found no use for it. It makes it easier for me to grease it also..

    Nice pile of splits NY. I know that DR makes quick work out of straight grain rounds, faster than my hydro. Be nice to have both possibly some day. :)

    Thanks, these were monster trees around 6 stories high, I think it should be around 6 to 8 cords, it's 5 minutes from home, local roads

    Most of it, the guy that had the trees cut doesn't want much, he took only a cord, I told him he should keep all of it but he's lazy to split so more for me. He doesn't realize that he's gonna regret not keeping it, oh well

    I'll add to it once it all split so I know exactly how much I got but I think it's close to 10 cords or more, then I have some walnut rounds at another friends house that should be a half cord then a maple tree should get another 2 or 3 cords so I should be at about 20 cords by January
