    This was last spring, had to take a maple down to make room for a new pool. This was a chick of wood but the splitter handled it well. 9D1A2C8E-66C9-4CF9-8B39-26D3FDEC4324.jpeg D2F30DE5-F1B5-4B33-A0E9-0B3E8502BD8B.jpeg CC3076C1-727F-45B1-ADC6-10E5108BECDC.jpeg 3C389C90-237D-4EF1-AB8C-C596E126B7AB.jpeg

    Haha. “chunk “ not chick....

    I used a log lift that attaches to splitter to pick it up there. It is a lifesaver and not sure how I managed before I bought that sucker.

    32 ton black diamond. Been a good one for me. The lift is a Gorillabac. I had a detailed post I think last year on it if there is a way to search that. I can also hook to receiver on truck or trailer for loading rounds to get home. Well made equipment

    Oh sweet, I have a 25ton of their's. I'll search around for the post but is this a wire cable style lift?
