how to get what you want the guy way

Hey yeah!!!!!

 

It would be nice if there was a reverse splitter so you could lift some but the ram would be to the ground not the air. Might benefit those who cant bend to the waist down so much and still be possible to reverse the whole thing if you wanted to.

 

That's right, Baba!

 

I can see a very huge payback in your future.....start preparing for it now!

 

I’ll try and remember to. But basically it would be like having the splitter only stay level with the trailer chassis or beam and not all the way to the ground. So instead of having the logs on the ground BWS style, they’d be at chest height if you’re sitting. Basically an adjustable standing splitter.

 

Oh yeah, that's an invitation for a problem.

 

Unfortunately most middle class folks recently have less of that spare $ available, so that amount has to be spread around a little thinner than it used to be.

 

Funny for me - I have my splitter and used it for the first 4-5 years I've owned it to split about half of the 8-10 cord I split per year. Somehow, I've gone the opposite route - I now split about 95% by hand and save the worst 5% for the splitter. I like the process, exercise, quiet, etc. To each their own! Cheers!

 

I never even said a word to my checkbook several months ago when i bought a track hoe I've been needing for awhile !

 

Wive's are not too fond of hoes.

 

Have had the Splitter for 34 years now and it brings a smile to my face every time that I use it!

 

Well that makes one for you and probably five thousand for her on the “outsmarted scoreboard “. She probably let you have this one. Look out though, the counterpunch is coming,

My splitter story of a Tom Sawyer fence painting realm is my brother called me after seeing a great sale at Menards for a 19 ton. I happened to be in town with my pickup and drove straight over. I was amazed at how heavy it was in its crate and how much assembling would be needed.
I was a day away from leaving for vacation, so I told him “it’s in the shop still in the bed of the truck if you want to look at it. I knew he would be itching to see it work, so when I return from the Caribbean, there it was al done and some testing splits beside it. It would have sat for weeks before I got to putting it together.

 

While my first instinct is to agree with this statement. I have to agree with the sentiment only.

I have a great wife who doesn't complain often about my spending. I manage the finances well, but include her on all major purchases. I expect the same from her. I've been in a relationship which each of us spent "community funds" separately, didnt work well.

That said, currently in process of installing a dishwasher, and came home today with a new Digi multimeter that wasn't necessary, but I've wanted to replace my analog one for some time. Not a problem in the least.

Besides she's the one that's better at saving money.

 

You guys must be doin it all wrong!
Mrs. TD bought me my last 2 saws and called me when she found an awesome deal on a brand spanking used splitter.

And last night she came home with a load of antique hand saws...


She must love me!

 

And have very long memories.........
