    Pallet Pete Was gonna come hang out yesterday, but our schedules didn't reconcile. Had a few minutes of downtime, so off to the internet. Always a dangerous thing, :jaw:. Found this machine, called, yep still available. Well you know what happened next, hooked up & in my shop. I'm sure if Pete had been here he would've talked me down :doh:. Guy also threw in a 20' long steel feeder table/sawbuck set up. Gotta pick that up this week. Splitter works perfect, 2016 with about 30ish cord through it. Just had all fluids changed etc. Couldn't say no.
    Anybody got a conveyor for sale?

    So far so good, I've put about 18 of those big Oak rounds through it & it's not even grunting. It could keep 3 people busy to make it really efficient I think. One loading, one operator, & a third moving/stacking. Way faster than the Troy Bilt, but it better be LOL.

    No, just slide on or off 4 Way. Pretty slick though, Just lifts off with one hand. So far I'm impressed. Break time over, back to splitting.

    That's a nice set up right there amateur cutter , it will definitely help your back with those big rounds. Sounds like you ought to let Pallet Pete play with it for a while and you can go do something else while he's playing.:sleeping:
