    That’s a sweet machine brother! Right on time for knocking down all your recent log piles. It will surety pay for itself in no time :thumbs:
    That splitter will need it’s own building.

    T.Jeff Veal That is an awesome purchase. Hope you brought a saw along, there's plenty of wood in the Pigeon Forge area that you can give that awesome splitter a work out while you two are there. I see a little room on the trailer that you can haul some home.

    My man! You’re going to be piling up the splits faster than the Mrs can stack it.

    Is that set up in your future Joe? 300 cords would be a piece of cake!

    Congratulations T.Jeff Veal ! You and Miss Carol will love that set up. You'll be very pleasantly surprised at how much faster you can make a pile of splits and how much of a work saver it is. Glad y'all got such a nice upgrade!

    Poorer quality soil and gets a lot of sun. Need lots of sun. Choke them out of sun and they seem to die.

    The hydraulic powered wedge and auto cylce combined with the conveyor you will make a lot of wood fast…my buddy has a similar set up and it rules…now using a regular splitter doesn’t feel right
