Splitting EWP in a heatwave.

One of the first videos I've ever done so take it easy on me!

 

Your splitter has a fast cycle time....like you!

Nice looking splits.

 

Well done! It easy working in that heat. I’m big on er protection and wear over the ear ones whenever I run anything with an engine. Only downside is they hold in a lot of heat!

 

There's heat in Maine?

 

Much faster to split in hyper fast mode. Increased productivity through the camera is the easiest way to get more done in a day!

 

For sure, they were getting pretty slippery this day

 

It was 93 this day. Next morning I was working in a coat in 60 degree rain....that's Maine

 

I'm out at about 85f. Mo powa to ya!

 

Slow and steady when it's this hot. I wasn't breaking any records for sure

 

At least you were in the shade. Any firewooding activity in the full Summer sun isnt fun. I only run the splitter in the shade too.

Way to get it done there MaineMtnMan

 

That's a nice size trailer for the work flow.

 

Yes, one of the best CL scores I've had. $100

 

My friend just got back from a work trip to Eustis, ME. She told me about “moose maple.” I looked it up and I guess it’s also called striped maple or mountain maple. Do you see much of that?

 

Gramps called it natures tp! Because the leaves are bigger than your hand.

 

Was it more of a want to or a need to?

 

Just watched the vid. Yup, nicely done.
The high speed replay was a good idea.
Is EWP your primary take?
Sca

 

Great video. I’m still at the level of holding the phone with one hand and trying to work with the other lol
I do have one question tho. Why switch to the truck? The trailer seems so much easier.

 

I feel like I need to get a certain amount of work done each day/week.

I wanted to split wood this particular day. I was the easiest of choices in that heat, but honestly I didn't need to split this EWP, it was just the easiest of chores on the tondo list.

 

No, It was Arnold stack that needed to be taken care if. It was from some trees i removed to build my greenhouses. I use it for campfire and SS wood

 

Good question!. At one point I stopped for lunch and a rowdy gang of teenagers commandeered the 4 wheeler. I never tried using the truck like that so I gave it a shot. MUCH slower.
