    No more splitting mauls again, hydraulics are much cheaper than shoulder ops.

    They haven't missed anything, and they know I love 'em...all in good fun, they may still see the light one day, standing and splitting...not looking down hunched over straining...:whistle:

    People on here actually admit to splitting horizontally? :loco: :crazy:

    What's next? Something to sit on while you split horizontal?? :hair:

    That'll get 'em going!

    Nice score on the splitter, Doug

    yooperdave Really? Just when I was all on your side-helping you coach Kimberly and all??? I thought we were on the same page...Seger said it best and you're from MI?---"Everybody wants to do the horizontal bop"...The only way, the right way, is standing upright-unless and only the rounds exceed your lifting ability, otherwise your upper body workout and squats for your legs is proof in the pudding...I still believe in you buddy...:yes:Hope for you yet....

    :rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol:
    Man oh man, did I blow that post! :doh:
    I should have inserted "vertical" in the position of "horizontal"! Too funny on me!
    That was my intention, anyway....you know, the same old ribbing about vertical or horizontal splitting? Sheesh!

    Definitely a senior moment! Hope schlot doesn't see this one!

    I , also, only split horizontal. It's not that I have anything against vertical splitting, its just that I also reserve that position for only the largest rounds.
    99 runs the controls and I do the work of lifting, placing and tossing the splits.
