    Nice setup.
    Sure reduces potential back problems lifting heavy rounds.

    :yes:

    These electric splitters get the job done.

    Thanks Chaz, for only $ 170 it's so worth it, I was using a rope winch but this electric thing makes it so easy you just smile the whole time your using it :D

    This is my first splitter it works pretty good, I'm amazed how much deflection the shaft has but it just keeps plugging away !

    Great setup! Nice to work out Of the rain. How many cords do you run through there a year?

    I have them stacked like this and carefully slide them down the pile to my old wood wagon or the wheelbarrow, the bottom row just gets rolled on the ground, it's enough work stacking them it's nice not having to do it twice !
