    Yes, mostly ash. That one picture has a goodly amount of elm too.

    But watching the video it appears to be more work than simply rolling the log onto the splitter especially when using a pickeroon. I understand that some like to stand while working but I don't and sitting does not hurt the back. Don't see how rolling would have hard on the back either. But I can see where that could come in handy for some other things too. Looks like a take-off from the winches they put on the rear of a pickup for loading deer but can also be used for loading large pieces of firewood and I can certainly see the value there.

    There's about 35 big uns just on the right side. Those are about 20 to 24 inches. Red oak and 18 inches long. I'm gonna try the winch and tongs out once it stops raining for the next 5 days...

    Those would not have been stacked if they were mine! Lots of good heat there!

    Do I spy a bottle of Sam Adams on the driveway? Cold Snap, perhaps?

    That's a Stella Artois.

    Cold Snap is delicious though.

    Man never take that flat land for granted. I need a Tetris expert to get that organized

    Or maybe another week with this baby:

    My splitter is about 5 feet in on the top left of the hill left of this picture.

    Chuck Norris uses his splitter horizontally, this way he can push the whole tree toward the cutting blade instead of bucking it first.
